I`m not being able to update some of the software that appears on the apple store updates tab, itunes, safari, etc.. I downloaded itunes from apple site and everything went fine but safari seems to be only available trough apple store , is there any known bug where apple store refuses to update yosemite software (any solution)? thanks.
Got a tip for us?
