I own four Macs: a 2009 Mac Pro, a 2010 iMac, a 2011 MacBook Air, and a 2012 Mac Mini. On every single one of them, Software Update through the Mac App Store is pretty broken. Many times I'll just never receive notifications of an update. Sometimes I'll receive notifications from Notification Center, but then when I click for details, the Mac App Store app will report that no updates are available.
But then when I use the softwareupdate CLI tool, it will locate, download, and install the available updates.
I'm thinking this may have something to do with my iTunes account, because it affects all four computers (and I don't know what else would link all of them together). I've noticed that I pretty reliably get updates for applications purchased through the App store, but rarely to never get them for system updates (like e.g. Java, OS X, etc.).
Any hypotheses?
