Os For Mac In 2012

Use Software UpdateChoose 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. You might be asked to enter your administrator password.
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, Music, Photos, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, and FaceTime.
To automatically install future updates, including for apps that you got from the App Store, select 'Automatically keep my Mac up to date.' Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.
As you can see from the list above, with the exception of the first OS X beta, all versions of the Mac operating system from 2001 to 2012 were all named after big cats, from Cheetah to Panther to. For the 2012, it is Mountain Lion. But it's not as simple as 'the older the OS, the faster it runs' though. Mac Mini: Late 2012 models and onwards. On top of the 'various bug fixes' and security patches, MacOS. This is still the 'first wave' of Catalina, and many issues remain both in the OS. As the title says my problem is that I wiped my Mac (I think it's like 2009) and when i tried to reinstall the osx in disk utiliy, it asks me for my apple id which i put in, then the authorization code comes on my phone, but no field to put it in on the mac, so i tried booting it up on a disk, but no hard disk shows up, I'm super confused by this, i tried looking up things but nothing helps.
