Re: Contents of Mac Box?

Just for future reference, the iOS app called voice dream scanner would immediately tell you the contents of those sheets of paper. I use it constantly to do my mail and anything that I need to read. It’s the simplest most effective scanning app I have ever used and I’ve been around for a while.

Actually, it sounds like the update he is receiving is from the AppStore, not Software Update. In this case, go to the Apple menu in the menu bar, down arrow to AppStore and press enter. This will take you to the update section of the App Store. - Brad - On Nov 23, 2021, at 11:30, Dave Carlso
