Check for updates - no response

In the last few days I notice that when I click on the "Check for updates" link on the applications tab in iTunes that it will say "accessing itunes store" and then instead of saying updates are or aren't available, it gives me no answer at all, and I have to retry, sometimes multiple times. Anyone else having this problem? Seems to me like an ITMS problem, and not a local problem for me.

Its not just limited to the app store via itunes either.
using the remote app on my phone its sometimes very slow to check for updates , its worse in the evening but its nowhere near as fast as it should be , even over wifi.
It was fine till the start of last weekend ( 19 th ) but since then its been a bit ropey )
So its not a local issue there must be a fault with it somewhere

    The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)

    There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
    Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
    Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available.

  • Why does "Check for Updates..." show that there are no updates available while I'm using Firefox 3.6.18 and latest version is 5.0.1?

    First and foremost, I'd like to clarify that I hardly have any technical knowledge. So pardon me if this comes across as a silly question to the professionals. Here are the details pertaining to this problem as per the best of my limited knowledge:
    I'm currently using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18; previously it was 3.6.13. It was updated to 3.6.13 from 3.6.9 after I clicked on Check for Updates... and it told me that it'd be done when I reboot my system. When I restarted my PC, I was surprised to find that it was downloading the version 3.6.18. I didn't know how much it'd progressed in the process, so I let it finish it. After that, I disabled the option that enables it to download and update on its own, and turned it off. Next time when I started it, it was 3.6.18, but wasn't updating on its own anymore.
    Now I wanna update it directly to the latest version 5.0.1. But when I leave it to "'''Automatically download and install the update'''" option under Tools>Options>Advanced>Update, it downloads and updates the versions as per their release order. So if I leave it to it, then when I start it next time, it'll start downloading the version next to 3.6.18 and update to it instead of updating directly to 5.0.1. It'll keep doing so until it reaches there. For reasons of my own, I don't like that. So I '''unchecked '''the "Automatically download and install the update" option and chose the "'''Ask me what I want to do'''" option (so that it doesn't keep repeating the "downloading and updating" process on its own every time I start my PC). Then I went to Firefox site and thought of downloading and updating to the latest version on my own. But then I was informed that if I do so, '''I'll get the latest version, but I'll lose all my saved bookmarks unless I follow some hectic procedure to save them and load them again after installing the latest version of Firefox'''. I don't want to let that happen either. So, can anyone suggest me a way out of this situation without losing my bookmarks?
    Almost forgot. I tried several times by going to '''Help>Check For Updates...''', but every time it returned the same result: "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." How come no update is available while the version I'm using is 3.6.18 and the latest version is 5.0.1? In short, '''Check for Updates...''' didn't help either. (Even when I updated it last time, shouldn't it have updated itself from version 3.6.13 to 5.0.1 directly?)
    So, can anyone suggest a way by which I won't lose my bookmarks and would be able to update to the latest version directly too? An answer that wouldn't involve removing the current version and installing the latest one, but directly update to it (it's okay if it needs downloading) would be more welcome. I know that the bookmarks can be saved in a file and all, but I'd like to know if it's possible as it happened for my current version from previous version. (It downloaded and updated itself on its own, disturbing nothing, not even logged me out of certain accounts where I stay logged in. The only problem there was that it wasn't updating directly to the latest version.)
    I hope the aforementioned details make sense and are helpful enough for others to help me. Thanks.

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • My Firefox 3.6.20 does not display Firefox 6.0 when "Check For Updates", instead it shows that No Updates Available. Why is that?

    I just today updated to Firefox 3.6.20 from Firefox 3.6.18. I tried checking for new updates again using the Check for Updates option under Help and it said that "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." I am looking for Firefox 6 update, but it does not find it. This happened before when I tried to search for Firefox 5 when I had Firefox 3.6.18 and before Firefox 6 came out. Why does it not detect the latest version of Firefox when there is clearly a newer version out there?

  • "software update"  "An error occurred while checking for updates"

    When I click on "Software Update", an error results, "An error occurred while checking for updates".  It is definitely connected to the internet.  I was gifted a G5 and I installed a new hard drive and loaded the OS, OS X 10.3.5.  That version of Safari does not display pages correctly.  E.g., support.apple.com/downloads just clocks on the righthand side of the page.
    Because cannot access that link, cannot manually update the OS - I was thinking this version is "old" and as a result, unable to connect to apple's update server.  Thanks.

    Thanks,  I upgraded with your info.

  • Check for updates not working in 9 pro

    I am running Acrobat 9 pro on a Vista machine. Acrobat appears to have been malfunctioning (bates numbering is not working properly), and I uninstalled (and deactivated) Acrobat, and then reinstalled it.
    After reinstallation, I used the check for updates feature in the help menu to update from 9.0 to 9.2. But now every time I run Check for updates from Help, nothing updates. I get a dialog that there is an available update, and then an icon System Tray appears and a process is active for AdobeARM.exe. But nothing ever happens-no update. I then force close the process from the task manager, and still no success in getting Acrobat to update.
    What can I do? Thanks very much.

    LeoAdobeX:
    Thank you for your rely. Here is the more detrailed info:
    1. I pulled down the Help menu and chose Check for Updates.
    2. A dialog appeared that said an update was available; I clicked on the button that indicated I wanted to download and install the update
    3. Nothing further appeared onscreengiving my information or choice, but an incon then appeared in the system tray for the installer.
    4. Hovering over the icon does not pop up any status information. If I click, double click, or right click on the incon in the system tray nothing pops up, and nothing appears. At that point I get absolutely no response.
    5. If I go to task manager at that point it shows the active process AdobeARM.exe and gives no indication of it malfunctioning. But nothing installs and nothing downloads and nothing happens.
    6. If I then pull down the Help menu and chose Check forUpdates again, I get a dialog that says the updater is already running.
    7. All of this occured immedaitely after I reinstalled 9 pro.
    I hope this additional info helps. Thanks very much.

  • Acrobat X Pro: Check for Updates Error 1007 Updates have been disabled by your system policy

    Because of another Acrobat problem (I won't go into here), today I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 10.1.9 and re-installed Acrobat 10.0.0. I thought I could get back to 10.1.9 by selecting "Check for Updates" after installation. My system is Win7x64 and I'm running as a named user with Administrator rights on a machine that is not part of domain.
    When I select "Check for Updates", I receive a window titled "Adobe Acrobat Updater" that says "Update failed Updates have been disabled by your system policy. Error: 1007 <Close>" About ten seconds later, Acrobat X terminates, leaving this window hanging around.
    What do I do to enable checking for updates?

    Thanks Bill@VT and LeoAdobeX. It's still not working though.
    Over the last few days, Windows System Restore says I have done 4 (four) Remove/Install Pairs. I tried the helpful cleaner you suggested. I knew I probably had some Acrobat9 cruft, so I ran the Acrobat9 and Reader9 cleaners, then the AcrobatX cleaner (I never had ReaderX). I also uninstalled absolutely every Adobe program from my system: Flash Player (three versions), iFilter, Adobe AIR, Amazon Music Importer (relies on Adobe AIR).
    I tried it both as 10.0.0, and installing 10.0.0 and then the 10.1.9 MSP you pointed me to at the "update link" above. I installed as "Trial" mostly, but once with my registration key.
    Starting up Acrobat X still fails epically. Also, every time I've looked, it hasn't solved the "other Acrobat problem" that initiated all of this.
    The most that I've received from Acrobat X today is the splash screen came up once. Only once. Even after a restart of Windows 7, launching AcrobatX from the Start Menu, Desktop or even directly from the EXE under "Program Files (x86) does nothing. I thought it might just be slow the last time, so I took a 15 minute coffee break after attempting to launch. Nothing.
    Ergo, I am looking at Windows System Restore. I miss two days of not being able to read PDF's even if the "other Acrobat problem" remains.
    However, I got a whiff that I have another problem headed my way. I bought update version of Acrobat9 and AcrobatX. I've now wiped all traces of Acrobat9 (and will shortly do another wipe of AcrobatX). The Cleaner log reports "** Info : Installed product not found for upgrade code". The MyAdobe website has all my install codes back to Acrobat4, but I'm not sure I could locate my Adobe 4 CDROM or the intervening CDROM's that would be required to source me back to a full version (maybe Acrobat6?).
    As I understand it, System Restore will do many things but not actually install the program files that I've been writing and deleting from my disk over the last two days. So, I'm going to have to do some install of AcrobatX after I do the System Restore and I now have little hope that even that installation will work to "just put things back the way they were".
    Is AcrobatX supported on Windows7x64 Ultimate? Is there some place to track down what may be the "issues due to the 64-bit system"?
    I have checked the policies under Control Panel->Administrator and there is more to check there. My account is a member of Administrators, which I would think would give me the rights to do just about anything, but when I click on the "Local Security Policy" shortcut, I get a "Group Policy Error: Failed to open the Group Policy Object on this computer. You may not have the appropriate rights. <Close> Details: Unspecified error". I'll chase this down if the System Restore does not make this error go away, but this part is clearly not a problem with Adobe software. All of the Other Admin/MMC Tools like Computer Management open fine.
    Thank you very much for the responses. I found them to be very helpful but I still feel I've got a big problem ahead.

  • Stop Keynote from Automatically Checking for Updates?

    Is there a way to do this?
    Every iLife app (except GarageBand) has a "Check for updates automatically" preference that can be disabled in order to prevent the "update is available" dialog box from appearing during the program's launch. However, none of the iWork apps seem to have such a preference.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!

    Thanks for the response. In the time since my previous post, I've come across a thread in the Pages '08 forum in which a poster provided a script to reset SFLDefaultsNextUpdateCheck (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1379420). While this adds to the suspicion of SFLDefaultsNextUpdateCheck, I've been unable to confirm that such a method is effective. Did either of your "guesses" work?
    This situation sort of reminds me of a trick that was used back in Mac OS 9 to keep the "Upgrade to QuickTime Pro" dialog box from appearing. In that case, you simply needed to set the system date to some arbitrary point in the future (e.g., 01/01/2020), open QuickTime Player, tell the "Upgrade to QuickTime Pro" dialog box to remind you later, quit QuickTime Player, and reset the system back to the correct date. Do you think that would work here? I'd check myself, but I'm not sure how you can tell the value to which SFLDefaultsNextUpdateCheck has been set.

  • ITunes 11 Check for Updates button not working

    Anyone else having a non-responsive "Check for Updates" and "Get More Apps" button (found in the apps pane)? Clicking either button yields no result, no dialogue bubble to acknowledge the input, not even an error message that it can't connect or that there's no updates available like in previous versions. As of this morning, the button is displaying that I have "3 Updates Available", but clicking on the button does not do anything, the same goes for the adjacent  "Get More Apps" button. I ran Disk First Aid's permissions etc. and rebooted, was able to get it to work for the first try, and then thereafter it has reverted back to non-responsiveness. I also resorted to re-installing the iTunes 11 via a fresh download, still the same bug. This versions suffers again from a lot of bugs (and missed opportunities) and I can't revert back to v10.7 because Mountain Lion simply won't let you. Le sigh.

    Running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8. I manually sync my apps/songs/etc.
    I atttempted to updates apps using ITunes. The "Check for Updates" at bottom left was non-responsive. I tried:
    • Disconnecting the phone (2x), then reconnecting to iTunes
    • Relaunching iTunes (2x)
    • Reverting back to the previous version (ugh - don't try it)
    Googling the problem lead me to many MacRumors and Apple forum threads.
    Went to work, tried again tonight and success! The only thing I can attribute the sudden functionality of updating via iTunes is from REBOOTING my G5. BTW, I am using a wired mouse.
    Feeling a little silly that I didn't try that earlier.

    I thought the new version of itunes is 7.0.1.8? If so, why isn't the "check for updates" feature downloading the newer version? Can apple please fix this problem because users shouldn't have to download the new update manually and alot of users don't know there is a newer version because they all use the "check for updates" feature.

  • "Check for updates" tells me there is no update available for 3.6.8.

    On Thursday, I did a "Check for Updates" from my dev box and found there was an update. Since I was in the middle of something, I decided I would wait until done to install the update. Many hours later, I was ready and did "Check for Updates" again. This time I got "No updates found". So, I did some searching to make sure there was indeed a 3.6.9 update released, restarted the browser (still no update found), then rebooted the computer (still no update found), tried "Check for Updates" from a couple different computers on my network (all running 3.6.8) and always get "No Update Found". Checking what appears to be the update service at aus2.mozilla.org leads me to believe "No Updates Found" is the correct response but I know it said there was an update the first time I checked. What happened? Is it possible I'm having a DNS issue and hitting an old update server?

    There is no problem updating Firefox, the problem is just that the Firefox update service is responding to the "Check for Updates" request with a response that says there are no updates available (the xml response that was being sent back on Thursday indicating there was an update is now just coming back as an empty "update" element - <update></update>) . It's probably something pretty simple but only someone with access to the datastore being used by the update service will be able to verify and fix it. The other option (that a lot of people are hitting an old update service because of DNS or other network changes) seems unlikely.

    I'm using a Proxy, when I hit on Test Proxy button it fails to connect to login.oracle.com due to a 404. I've tried this URL with a web browser and it's also failing.
    Any workaround?
    Thanks Ramon

    Hi,
    Sorry I missed your post earlier, but I did see another similar one that resurrected this old thread:
