Updating Teacher MacBooks
The teacher MacBooks are normally managed by a central system called Filewave. However, the latest version of the MacBooks cannot receive security updates and patches that are important to avoid security issues. Please follow the instructions below to manually update your MacBook as a temporary fix. EdTech continues to work with Filewave so that these updates can be managed centrally.
1. Go to the Apple Menu and find System Preferences
2. Find Software Update under System Preferences and open it
3. Find where it says More Info under “Other Updates Available”
4. Click Install Now
5. Click Agree
PLEASE NOTE:
- Your MacBook will need to be plugged in to install the updates
- If prompted for a password, enter your district password
- The update may take up to an hour to completely install
- Email edtech@molineschools.org with any questions regarding this procedure
