How to get updates for macOS Mojave or later
Mac Software Update 10.6 8
UPDATE 2/2016 amazon-csc+AJYU8LTWY0F65@amazon.com (support person) pointed me to another download site for the Mac version of Kindle. Again the download didn't work with Firefox so I downloaded Chrome and then was able to download Kindle software. Once installed, the software worked and I could download books to it.
If you've upgraded to macOS Mojave or later, follow these steps to keep it up to date:
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu , then click Software Update to check for updates.
- If any updates are available, click the Update Now button to install them. Or click ”More info” to see details about each update and select specific updates to install.
- When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are also up to date. That includes Safari, iTunes, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Photos, and FaceTime.
- Fire up Software Update! In what may be the last Snow Leopard-era OS update ever before Lion’s official first roar, Apple on Thursday released Mac OS X 10.6.8.
- Printer drivers are available for download via Apple's Software Update for Mac® OS X running 10.6.8 and later. For all Laser and Inkjet multifunction printers, the ICA driver is also available for Mac OS X 10.6.8 and later. NOTE: MacOS 10.12 or macOS 10.13 drivers are compatible on macOS 10.14. As of now, there is no plan to release EC drivers.
To find updates for iMovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and other apps that were downloaded separately from the App Store, open the App Store on your Mac, then click the Updates tab.

- Open the App Store app on your Mac.
- Click Updates in the App Store toolbar.
