Why won't ITunes update to 12.1

I've tried updating ITunes for 3 days now.    In the history it shows that it has updated numbers times, but it also shows the update still needs to be done.    When I check ITunes - it does not reflect the update.

I had this issue and tried downloading it 10 times or more. I downloaded the update straight from Apple's site and it finally installed. Just go to Apple's homepage then click iTunes, then click download iTunes.
Hope this helps!

  • Why won't itunes update, even after i run the installer?

    i just bought a new ipod w/ video, and was running itunes5. so, it tells me i need to upgrade to itunes6...i quit itunes, ran the installer, even reset the computer, and for some reason the update just doesn't do anything to itunes.
    it stays at itunes5...
    BTW, i'm using a powerbook with mac OS X10.4.3

    If you don't mind my asking, how did you get it to work? I'm having the same problem, and am out of ideas.

  • Why won't iTunes Update?

    When I use the "Check for Updates" in iTunes it says 10.6.3 is up to date.
    When I use "Software Update) the App Store Update give me an error: "An error has occurred" The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)
    (I think only when checking for iTunes because it updated Evernote just fine.

    The simple answer to your question is likely because you and about 10 million other people are all trying to do it at the same time.  Go to the Apple web site and download whatever it is you need, or be patient and wait a day or two.  Maybe the servers are slowed by everybody trying to get the new iTunes, but according to the second link below there isn't any urgency.

  • HT1338 Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to ios 5?

    Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to a later version?

    First, confirm that you really do have an iPhone 3GS and not a 3G:

    If you really do have a 3GS, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7, on your computer.

  • Why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    I'm not sure if this answers your question. I will update them in iTunes. Then I will connect my phone and in the phone controls I can click the "Update" button and it will change to "Will Update" but doesn't.
    That's part of the problem. Once upon a time, iTunes would just automatically update apps from the computer to the phone and now it apparently requires prompting that doesn't work.

  • Why won't iTunes read an RSS file

    I have had Radio National podcasts in itunes for a while but it has not updated since Dec 13 and I went to the website to download the new podcasts and it says that I do not have a RSS reader loaded?
    Why won't itunes do it?
    thanks
    Lee

    Are you talking about one of these:
    http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/podcasts/program/
    Click where it says 'Subscribe in iTunes'. When the page opens, click 'View in iTunes'. When iTunes opens and shows the Store page click 'Subscribe'.
    If that doesn't answer it, you need to give more details as to what exactly you are doing.

  • HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

    Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder? 
    If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder.  This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.

    Help iTunes locate your media folder:
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

    why won't itunes download on my pc. I get an error message saying not a correct 64 bit download???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

  • Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

    Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?  I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8.  I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is.  I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me.  Everything else syncs except Podcasts.  I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again?  Thanks!

    One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.
