Download All Free Updates does not work

For the past several months the "Download All Free Updates" button in iTunes has not worked. If I need to update apps I have to download them one at a time. Is anyone else having this problem? I am running iTunes 10.2 on a PowerMac G5 which is running 10.5.8.

if you have ONE app that is no longer available or has a problem with it (access, country/location, etc.) then the whole batch will fail. *****, because you can't tell which app until you go through all of them one by one. update often

Every time I download all purchases it does not work

I removed Jumsoft Money from my purchased, then clicked download all and it worked! Until it moved to the next app that does not exist on the store.

Download All Free Updates Not Working

Over the past few days, I've noticed that the "Download All Free Updates" won't work in iTunes to get the latest versions of my Apps. Usually, I can download them all individually without an issue but sometimes one gets "stuck" and even though it downloads, it still shows that an update is available. When I click the "Download All Free Updates" button (or text), it does show activitiy with the iTunes store but the downloads never start. Also, if I select "Check for available downloads", nothing happens either. This is happening on both the new 10.4 version and the previous version.
Any ideas?

I'm not so sure this an iTunes or a server problem. I noticed this exact problem for me last night before 10.4 was released. And updating didn't change anything.
I seem to recall a similar problem a few months ago when I updated a specific app. It turned that the app update was causing everyone problems and once it was deleted, the problem was gone.
So it may not be an iTunes specific problem, although it is lame that for all the scrutiny apps are supposed to get that they can't screen for update-crashing apps.
I'm not sure how to go about testing to see which of my recently updated apps may be causing this.

Download All Free Updates requires password. One at a time does not.

When I use the button "Download All Free Updates" to download iPhone applications updates in iTunes on the Mac, one of two things happens:
• The updates all download and complete after one click on the "Download …" button. No problem.
• Clicking the "Download …" button causes an iTunes Store login window to open asking for my password. If I cancel out of this window and download each update by clicking on its download button I can do them all without a password.
This happened today when one of the apps had an over 17 warning. But I have had it happen even when there is no age warning.
I am logged in to iTunes when this happens and can purchase songs or apps from my Mac without a password.
Any idea what the problem might be?

I have the same problem. I hit the update all button and I've had to enter my password every 10 seconds for about 40 times. Apple did this to us a few updates ago too. Hopefully a fix will come soon. My only tip is to don't use iTunes to update your apps. Update from within the App Store app on your iphone or ipad and you won't have to enter your password constantly--just once!

"Download all Free Updates" never works! Help please...

This is an annoying problem. When there are updates for my itouch in the app store I click on "Download all Free Updates". The problem is it hasn't worked in over a year. I get a pop up box that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request. There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the iTunes store please try again later." So ultimately I must get my free updates one by one. A minor inconvenience but still annoying. Anyone know how to fix this?
By the way, my computer has plenty of memory...from the wording this seems to be an iTunes problem.

I had the same problem and found a response that said this problem was related to a 17+ application that needed to update amidst the many updates. At that point I had nearly 100 to update, and I believe the problem occurred when you have 17+ apps and a large amount of apps to update all together.
It was recommended that you update the 17+ apps individually after which the others should update en masse .. but since I couldn't work out which were 17+, I just updated each individually. Once I did that everything has worked all right as I have made sure I haven't let my updates gather to more than about 20 before updating

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

Automatic update does not work

On my both computers (Windows 7, Window 8), the automatic update does not work at all, although it is activated in the options. All I get in the Firefox info box is that an update is available, with a link that I have to follow to download the installation file and install it manually. No difference even if I wait for weeks, the update is neither downloaded nor installed automatically. The problem persists in all Firefox versions since version 3.6.16 / 2011 (the last update in the chronicle). Note that the automatic update seems to perform well in the Windows XP mode of my Windows 7 system !

It will update eventually; there may have been availability problems on the update servers.

Apps - Download All Free Updates - You have already purchased this item

I have an iPad and iPhone, and over the past few months I've noticed that iTunes keeps getting confused when trying to download app updates.
So right now if I run iTunes, it shows that there are 16 updates in Apps. I click on Apps and then click the "16 Updates Available" link at the bottom right. This opens the "My App Updates" view. I then click "Download All Free Updates" and get a prompt that says:
You have already purchased this item
You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu.
This is confusing because:
I have no idea which of the 16 app updates it is talking about
I'm not told why it has not been downloaded
Check for available downloads doesn't do anything.
I can get around this problem by manually downloading each update individually, syncing and trying an update again. But after a few weeks I get more updates and the problem starts all over again.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Cheers
Boz

HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Specifications;
Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
Lion 10.7.x;
Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work- the serial number does not work?

photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:

That S/N does work. I double checked.

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
Solved!

I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

ITunes "Download All Free Updates" Button Predicament

OKAY. Today, I decided to transfer my applications (for the iPhone/iPod Touch) I had on my HP Desktop to my new MacBook Pro. I transferred them through the use of a flash drive from the HP to the MBP. I imported them into iTunes and my MBP showed "Apps ___86(in a bubble, indicating there are 86 updates available for the applications I have on my MBP)" so I clicked on it and at the bottom of the iTunes window there was a button that said "86 updates available" and I clicked that. It opens the iTunes store to the applications update page. In the top right corner of the iTunes store window it has another button labeled as "Download All Free Updates", I clicked this button and it asked if it was okay to download apps that had the age restriction of 17 and over, I clicked on the "Yes" button. A dialog popped up and read "One of the items you tried to purchase is no longer available", I clicked "Ok". Another dialog popped up and says "Update All?", I also click "Ok". Now nothing happens after that, as I suppose it should start a download and appear as a tab in the left hand menu pane, but alas nothing.

The problem was that I had an application no longer available in the Canadian store (my account) but only available in the US store. I deleted that application from my application list and iTunes let me use the "Update All' button properly.

"Download Linked File As" Does Not Work

As others have noted, although Safari is an excellent and fast browser, there is one feature that is quite annoying, namely that all filed download by default to a single folder selected in preferences. Internet Explorer (and Firefox, I believe) by default allows the user to save to any folder selected at the time. In each thread I've read noting this problem, someone answers that the solution in Safari is to right click on the link and select "Download Linked File As" then direct the browser to the folder. The problem is that this does not work as Safari downloads only the link (or something else) but not the linked file. For example, if the linked file is a PDF, under "file type" PDF does not appear, only "All Files" and once the download is complete you have an entry in the desired folder but not the file itself. (This is true even if you append the proper suffix to the file name; no actual file.) Is there a solution here or does it really take several steps to get a downloaded file into the folder of choice?

I just checked a pdf and "Download linked file as" does give me option to save where I want for pdf, jpg files and others.
