Hello,

I am having an issue with updating my software. I'm using a managed laptop, but IT has given me admin access because I need it for my job. We use an internal update server instead of the default Apple one, but I need to be able to install updates when they come out. I've already run
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL in terminal to set the server back to the default Apple one.

Running that terminal command allowed me to see system updates, but app updates do not show up. For example, I am not given the option to update Safari to version 10, nor any of the iWork apps to their latest versions. Even if I try to manually update Numbers from the app store, it just spins its wheels and doesn't download. I've tried on my personal wifi network to ensure it's not because of the server being blocked by the network or anything like that. So I'm thinking there's another setting somewhere that I need to put back to default, but I haven't been able to find anything on other threads. Any ideas?
