The current version is 8.4.1 so not sure why you are not seeing updates. Which plan do you have? Are you logged in to your  account?

Use the Creative Cloud Desktop App to do updates.

What OS is your computer running.

Hi i have been useing the cloud app to check for updates but it just keeps telling me everything is up to date.

my computer is a Mac with EL Capitan ver, 10.11.16.

It is the OS X version you are using. The newer versions of LR Classic need OS X 10.12 or 10.13 to run.

you don't have it on that Mac so the CC DTA doesn't show you the newer versions of LR.

You probably don't have the newer version of the CC DTA either. It looks like this.

You probably have the older version like this.

Yes its the older cloud app i have.

Be carefull Apple may only allow you to upgrade to the newest Catalina version. That ius a BAD IDEA.

If you can upgrade to either 10.13.x or 10.14.x and Not 10.15.x Catalina. There are numerous problems with Catalina. That is If the Mac you have can even upgrade to Catalina. My iMac can't go past 10.13 as it is from 2011.

It looks like my Mac would be sutable for the upgrade as its a late 2015 version. To be honest iv just always put off updating as iv never done it before and im so afraid of something going wrong!! as you can probably tell im not that great with computers!! Would you suggest upgrading to Mojave?

[Just Shoot Me]

Yes Mojave is fine as far as I know.
