Where does the tilde go on ''actualizate''?

So, I was chatting with a good friend, and I was writing "upgrade" as in telling her to upgrade herself. SO, I wrote, "actualízate" putting the emphasis on the "i" as I thought it sounds to me... I would just like a confirmation or correction. Orale pues, ¡gracias amigos!
Saludos,

What's "Orale pues" I haven't seen it before. It seems to be something useful and common. - Jubilado, Mar 7, 2013
Gracias swampy, no me gusta la gramática por nada. jejeje - DJ_Huero, Mar 7, 2013
@ jubilado "orale pues" is like, "alright/ ok then". Sometimes it's simply just "orale" which is like "alright/ ok". It's Northern Mexican Spanish. Most Southern Mexico uses "andale" & "andale pues". Also can be compared to Spain's, "vale". =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 7, 2013
¡Órale! con tilde - 005faa61, Mar 7, 2013
¿Seguro? Jamás lo he visto así... pero no te estoy deciendo que equivocas. - DJ_Huero, Mar 7, 2013
Well, I´ve see it written without plenty, but the way it´s pronounced, it certainly Should have an accent on the leading O. Besides the fact the even some native writers will leave off accents in general, they do yet more often w/capital letters, so ... - rogspax, Mar 7, 2013
Very good point rog... I'm pretty well convinced then jeje. It does have a leading "o" so it would make sense I imagine. =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 7, 2013

Ooops, others beat me, and with actually correct answers. Please, of course, completely disregard mine. Of course it´s the í, to maintain same syllable stress. I need coffee. - rogspax, Mar 7, 2013
Lol, I still give you a vote for the practice amigo, and either way thanks for taking the time to acknowledge my question. That always counts for something with me. =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 7, 2013
By the way, I'll take a Caramel Macchiato. ;-) - DJ_Huero, Mar 7, 2013
