Demo,
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do that the instruction says since i am not familiar with Apple at all what are quick links even? Am i supposed to do this on Itunes on my Ipad or on the computer?
this was that reply you mentioned.
I spoke with Apple Tech Support and they guided me through this. I was trying to get the App Store working on a new iPad mini using a new, but existing Apple ID. To get it to work, I had to go onto iTunes on my main computer (not on the iPad). I had been trying to use the Sign In button, and I was having the issue of being "forced" to enter a credit card, which I did not want to do. Here was the solution I was given, which worked for me.
Log out of iTunes, if you are not already. (Or hit Cancel if you're on the Review Payment screen.)
Instead of going into Sign In, go to Redeem under the Quick Links, on the right-hand side, down a bit.
Go through the screens, accepting the EULA, etc. You will get to a Review Payment screen, similar to the one you saw before, but it will have a None button.
You can enter an iTunes card here if you want, but I was able to leave that field blank and still successfully get the account set up, ready to use on the iPad.

I get the following message, when trying to check for updates on itunes:- "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later".

I get the following message when I go to "check for updates" on iTunes (I have XP on windows). Error message: "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later".
My firewall (both anti virus firewall and windows firewall, are set up to allow itunes programme to work) - I also have set both internet explorer and chrome to allow
apple website as an exception.
However, I still get the same error message... can anyone help?
Thanks

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I get the same problem running the diagnostics. Says network connections are present and in the green, but unable to connect to iTunes Store.

I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?

I cant download iOS 4.3, even when i check for update in iTunes?

Ive sat here for about three hours and it still just says 4.2.6 is the latest. Is this true, if not how can i get the newest version?

If you have a Verizon iPhone, iOS 4.2.6 is the latest iOS for your phone. There are no updates currently available. iOS 4.3 and above is only available for the GSM iPhone.

HT1353 I have the 2nd generation IPOD touch. I have always been able to use apps such as Facebook and Pinterest. However now it says I must have IOS 4.3 update requirement bit when I check for updates on ITunes when hooked up to computer says updates co

My IPod touch 2nd generation always was fine with apps such as Facebook and Pinterest but now they say it needs updates IOS 4.3 but when hooked up says updates are complete and now I can't use some apps like Facebook.

To my knowledge the second gen iPod touch cannot update past 4.2.1. App developers are probably requiring newer versions of iOS for their newest apps. Sorry, but your device is becoming incompatible.

'check for updates' in itunes doesn't show 10.7

is it available yet or not?

It's available. If you can't see it in your Software Update, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website:

HT4972 cant update an iphone 4 to latest ios connected to computer and through itunes- wont ever connect to server - note i cant get itunes to update to latest version either just doing help/check for updates - it says itunes update server cant be conta

Disalbe ALL security software (firewall, antivirus, etc.) running on your computer while updating.

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

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

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...

ITunes doesn't know how to check for updates?

So i know that there is a noew version of iTunes, 6.0.4, why when i check for updates in iTunes does it say that 6.0.3 is the current version? it did this also when 6.0.3 was released. i'm kinda confused here, shouldn't iTunes just check the website and if there is a newer version tell me?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

Disable "check for updates" iTunes AND allow update iPad iPhone

In an enterprise environment we followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 to disable the "check for updates" in iTunes, although this is preventing users from updating thier iPad and iPhone devices as well.
How would we manage the Windows computer software (disable check for updates) but allow users to manage (update) thier own portable devices that require iTunes to update?

No. For now we have decided to perform the default install for our users with specific instructions not to update when Apple informs them of an update. When they see the pop up notification of an Apple update, they are to open the SCCM (SMS) "Run Advertised Programs" where we have packaged the new version to install with Admin rights.

ITunes "Check for Updates" says 7.3.1 is the most current version

Hi all.
We all know 7.3.2 is out. But when I go to "iTunes--->Check for Updates" in iTunes, it says 7.3.1 is the most current version. What gives?
Thanks in advance.

Also make sure that you don't move your Apple apps from their default location. If you do then the Software Updater doesn't know where to look to see what version that you currently have.

"Check for Updates" vs Download iTunes from web

Hello collective wisdom!
I think my question should be easy to answer. I'm helping my mom fix an issue with her computer in CA, but I'm in SD so there's only so much I can do.
She's trying to install some books on her iPad and iPhone via iTunes on her PC. She has iTunes 8, but needs a more recent version. When she runs "Check for Updates" in iTunes, she gets the error that the iTunes server could not be contacted. I have already trouble shooted this error, but we cannot fix it because she does not know her admin password. My dad purchased the computer for her at Best Buy, which is two hours from where they live, and she doesn't want to pay $30 to have them fix it anyway. (I think the computer is running Win7, but it may be Vista.)
I could figure this out if I were there, but I probably won't be back in CA for at least a couple years. My question is simple... Will installing iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ over her existing install fix the problem? If yes, will her music library be intact on the new install?
Thanks a bunch!
Paul

Hmm, the folder C:\Users\Public\Desktop should already exist, though if you look for it then you will probably see C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop in the same way that Documents in one profile can be shown as Steve's Documents in another.
Locate the Public Desktop folder, right-click and select Properties, select the Security tab, tap the Edit button and grant Everyone and SYSTEM full control. Use the Add button if needed to add the Everyone or SYSTEM entries, click OK when done.
Try installing again.
