    I updated my new 2017 Mac laptop and after it went ok, I went to update my wife’s iMac (a late 2009 iMac) but it doesn’t show the update to 10.12.6 (it did get the iTunes update) so I don’t know if it got pulled or there’s some reason it won’t show up on this iMac running 10.12.5.

    Bryan:

    The update showed up in the Mac App Store, and including iTunes 12.6.2.20 was only 1.3GB for my MBP 2012. Ran without a hiccup.
