"Check for updates" in Apps-Section is greyed out

Hi,
i recently have a problem when trying to update my Apps via iTunes.
When i navigate to Library --> Apps (Left side bar) the "Check for updates"-Button/Text in the right bottom corner is greyed out. So i can't update my apps via iTunes.
But there are definitely App-Updates available --> Updating directly from my iPhone works (But i don't want to load very big apps via mobile internet).
What i tried (without success):
1. Reinstall iTunes
2. Temporary deleteting all apps from my iPhone
I'm curently using iTunes 10.6.1.7 under Windows 7 Professinal 64 Bit.
Has anyone the same problem or can put me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Florian

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • Check for updates not highlighted

    I have updates needed for apps on my iphone. When I connect and open itunes, go to the apps in library, the "check for updates" down on the bottom right is not highlight and therfore I can not access. How do I correct this?

    You don't need to connect the iPhone to check for updates to apps in iTunes.
    And you don't need to connect the iPhone to update the apps directly on the iPhone. Open App store then tap Updates at bottom right.

  • Stuck on "Checking for Updates"

    I just bought a Z10 today and did the upate before using the phone and now it's stuck on "checking for updates" screen. I've taken out the battery and SIM card and left it for 10 min but it still isn't working, I've done this a few times. What am I supposed to do?

    Did you try pulling out the battery, wating for a min, and putting in back in?
    I faced a similar prblem and this worked for me.

  • HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

    How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
    In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
    Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
    BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
    Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
    THANKS COMMUNITY!

    Settings > Notification Center > Mail > Select the mail account (if more than one) > Alert Sound > None

  • When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  Any suggestions?

    When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info???  Any suggestions?

    To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
    I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
    Best of luck.

  • HT4972 I'm trying to update my iphone 3G to ios5 - however in Itunes when I 'check for updates' it is advising me that I have the latest version (4.2.1). Hence I can't update and now I can't run a few of the apps I previously used. Help!

    Following a backup and restore of my iphone 3g I have lost the use of a number of apps - this seems to be as they need ios5 or later to support them and I only have 4.2.1
    When I check for updates via itunes I am advised that I have the latest version - but clearly I don't.
    Any help gratefully received on how I can upgrade to ios5
    Yally

    Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

  • Does the Creative Cloud app on Mac have to launch at login to check for updates?

    I don't really care to have the Creative Cloud app on my Mac running all the time.  I don't use any of the features for it other than to update apps.
    If I UNcheck "Launch at login"....will I still get notified of updates?
    -Kevin

    I certainly didn't have the Application Manager running all the time in CS6.  Adobe must have had a background process checking for updates because in CS6 where there was an update, I would get the update icon in my menubar.
    What I'm wondering now is.....does CC have a similar process that will notify me of updates?  I don't want to have to manually launch the Creative Coud app just to check.

  • Prevent App Store checking for updates in non-administrator accounts?

    Once upon a time, software could only be installed from within an administrator's account. But with Mountain Lion software can be installed from within a "standard" account, as long as you enter the admin's name and password. And software update alerts from the App Store (and other vendors) now show up within standard accounts.
    Is there a way to prevent the App Store from checking for software updates when a standard account is active? One of my users is almost totally computer illiterate; the update alerts completely confound her. Also, if the alerts are ignored in a standard account, they do not show up in the administrator's account until several days later -- or at all.
    I'd really appreciate any help you can offer!

    Thanks so much for checking, Carolyn. Unfortunately this workaround forces the App Store to check for updates in standard accounts: exactly what I'm trying to prevent. From what I can tell by searching, people seem to like this new behavior. I want it gone.

  • My MacKeeper says iPhoto is out of date.  When I try to update the App Store says I need IOS 10.9 or later.  I have 10.7.5 and when I check for updates my Mac says the software is up to date.  How do I solve this problem??

    My MacKeeper says iPhoto is out of date.  When I try to update it, the App Store says I need IOS 10.9 or later.  I have 10.7.5 and when I check for updates my Mac says the OS software is up to date.  How do I solve this problem??

    1. First step to solving the Problem: Trash MacKeeper. It's a pile of trash that does far more harm to your computer than good.

  • Got an Acer netbook which has linux operating system with Firefox 3.5 installed, the check for updates is greyed out, downloaded firefox 7 but will not install, we are constantly prompted by Firefox to update as 3.5 will no longer be supported

    Basically acer netbook will not allow us to update Firefox from ver 3.5 to 7, check for updates box is greyed out, thanks for your help

    Hi James,
    Many thanks for your reply, the machine was bought from Currys the 3.6 download warns you it will only be supported for a short time, and recommends downloading ver 7, I am unfamiliar with the workings of Linux but the machine has been good, there must be a solution, no problem if we have to pay for the upgrade. Many thanks for your help,
    Cheers, Steve

  • ITunes "Check for updates" don't work for two specific app

    I have iPhone 4S, and iTunes at Windows 7 PC. Clean install.
    I've bought an GPS navigation app, Turkey Navigation iGO Primo app, which was free at first release day. My problem is, when I click the button "Check for updates" at iTunes(PC), it don't show me any updates, but when I go to app's(iGO Primo) iTunes page, I see that new version released, and iTunes price button says "Update". So I can manually update the app, but iTunes can't automatically finds it. This symptom only occurs for two apps iGO Primo app and Google Search app.
    A friend of mine also bought the Primo app at same time as me, and she has no problem, iTunes can find updates automatically.
    I can delete the app from iTunes and download again, but no luck, no fix.
    Developer(NNG) and Apple technical support can't help me a bit.
    Maybe there is other apps at my library that has this problem, I don't check every app's page manually if an update released.
    Do you have any solutions?

    From the Store menu, select
              Check for Unfinished Downloads...

  • Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    Hi, couple of things to try...

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.
