Where can I manually download itunes and software updates

I am having problems downloading itunes and software updates. I understand that I need to do these manually but from where?
The problem as explained to me is that auto updates will not work and are showing as no connection available due to the latency with my satellite connection.
Apple auto updates are configured for US high speed internet and show no connection due to latency with sat connection.
Drives me crazy but have no other option available to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Standalone updates can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads.

My Mac wont let me download anything, even software updates. it runs the whole download then restarts but tells me an error has occurred

My Mac wont let me download anything, even software updates. it runs the whole download then restarts but tells me an error has occurred.
Please help! Nothing will download and i have a loading bar on start up!!!
The mac hasn't ever given me any problems, it has been since plugging my new iphone 4s into it,
As i havent had internet at my home for quite some time i dont know whether the fact the iphone was at a much newer version than the mac it confused itself????? help me please!?

Hi there,
If you go to the Apple equivalent of: Appdata\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (sorry am a mere PC user )
If there is a file titled iphone1,22.1_5F136Restore then try deleting it and then running iTunes without your iPhone attached.
Go to the menu and select Help/Software Updates which should then notify you that there are updates and allow you to download them in advance of restoring.
Hopefully this will download the update. Once completed attach the iPhone and restore.
Hopefully this might sort your issue out.
Ciao

MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update. Gray box just turns a lighter shade of gray

MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update-not using App. Gray button just turns a lighter shade of gray and just sits there. Have done previous downloads last one on Jan.9 for desktop and two others.

So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
that's not working either... I wonder if you know
windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
raising the security settings but nothing appears...
interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

I cannot uninstall or install itunes. error is 'trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable'. I cannot find path to any folders containing installation package itunes.msi. Unable to download itunes since 2 updates ago and crashed computer. Windows update as suggested in some posts does not assist either.
Can anyone assist me? Thank you so much

Should the advice above not fix things for you...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

HT1551 I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so not a connection

Help. I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection. It happens only when we are trying to access Movies. Very confused. Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update. Now this problem! Help!

re-add the shared lib
check the firewall on the computer

I Deleted the mac app store because of error 4 and i cant download it with software update

I Deleted the mac app store because it showed error 4 and I cant download it with software update.

I guess you have no time-machine or carbon copy cloner backup at hand.. then you will go a manual way.
Mac AppStore is included in 10.6.6 first and a updated better version ( the latest ) is in 10.6.7, so I focus on the later :
Use the shareware ( works without paying , nag screen only ) called "pacifist" . Locate the 10.6.7 update package on your harddisk, mount the dmg, go inside and right-click the installer package, it wil offer you top open it with pacifist instead of Apples OS installer.
Inside pacifist you can see the various sub-packages, one item is the Mac App Store, select it and choose "install to default location" from pacifists menu.
This way you bypass the OS' logic that it is already up to date and will find AppStore in your Applications folder.
Note that this scenario is totally unsupported by Apple of course and you do it on your own risk.
The official way if you have messed up the OS and have removed parts of it, would be to wipe and reload OSX plus its updates to be back..

HT201210 Trying to restore ipod and keep on getting error message: the ipod software update server could not be contacted. the network connection was reset

Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

HT1338 I keep getting a Networking Error: when i run Software update. i have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to at least 10.6 or later. i know the network is working perfectly.

Snow Leopard OS 10.6 is not available via Software Update, it is paid upgrade.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now my ipod is frozen with a screen picture of music round blue symbol and an arrow displaying a cable connection. I received a message saying that the download was not successful.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.

Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore

HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?

Hello,
Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
Thanks and cheers!

ITunes 10 software update never appeared on my software updates list

I have two iMacs networked together, one 4 year old iMac running Tiger 10.5, and one 2009 iMac running SL 10.6.4. I downloaded iTunes 10 on the older machine several weeks ago after it appeared in the Software Update list. I have never seen the iTunes 10 software update appear on the software update list on my newer iMac which is running iTunes 9.2.1 (5) .
I have gone to iTunes and checked for Software update and it runs the scan for my software updates and the iTunes10 update is NOT there. When I google "iTunes10 Software Update", I get the Apple site with a download for iTunes 10, but no software update download.
What is going on... and is the iTunes 10 download the same as the software update ?
After reading all the complaints and problems here with v.10, I am inclined to forget the whole v.10 update and wait for the next one to see if some of these issues have been fixed. I could care less about Ping, and don't sync any iPods etc. with iTunes.
Thanks for any information, especially if someone can specify the difference between iTunes 10 download vs. iTunes 10 software update.

I still don't know why the update has not appeared on my list
i have seen reports of this here on the forums. i would consider it a minor flaw of the software update app.
i wouldn't worry too much about it. if you want iTunes 10, get the standalone installer via the link i provided above.
don't be discouraged by reports you see here - this forum is like a hospital. just because folks in a hospital are sick, it doesn't mean the whole world is ...

HT1414 How do I download iOS 5 Software update?

Please how do I download iOS 5 Software update if I'm not ready to update via iTunes?

I have a job, so I don't hang your every word as soon as you post a reply to a thread in which I've participated. Now I've read your other post correcting the fact that I put 6.0.2 as the latest version of iPhone software I won't refer to the version specifically any more.
So, is iOS 5 available for download?
I find you very aggresive in your approach and if it continues, I will more than likely only ask questions on here rather than trying to assist others.
I have better things to do and I'm just trying to help.

When I try to update my iPad 3 4g to iOS 5.1.1, i keep getting error trying to find software update, I've tried several things already, but nothing seems to work.

Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.
