I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

I'm Apple promoter and love it. But, since I upgrade to Yosemite, my MacBook started to act like a PC. I need to restart it from time to time and very often. Also when I plug my headset, it dosent recognize it and I need to "Preferences" to select it manually. So many small issus but acting like PC it is very annoying, how can I recommend Apple for people?

i cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet". But i checked my internet on both my pc and iphone and tried again but it still says the same thing. plzz plzz help

Were you definitely connected to the internet at the time? If you don't have iOS 5 on your iPhone then the only way to update it would be via iTunes, once updated to the latest version of iOS you'll be able to update your iPhone without connecting to iTunes "over-the-air".
Before updating however it goes without saying to Backup your iPhone, this should happen by default upon connecting your iPhone to iTunes.

"Check for Updates" button in iTunes not working

Hi there,
Forgive this post if it is a repeat - I searched and didn't see this exact problem though (but perhaps it's a common one at any rate).
I have a lot of apps on my "Applications" page, and until recently, iTunes did a great job of allowing me to quickly check and then download all of my updates (usually on a daily basis) from that page. Now, when I click the "Check for Updates" button at the bottom of the window it says I have none - even though my App Store icon confirms for me that I indeed have several updates ready to roll.
I have de-authorized, re-authorized, restarted (computer and iPhone), re-logged into my account, and even deleted some and re-downloaded some of the applications.
Does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Max Izod

you may need to uninstall and reinstall itunes. reauthorize the account after doing so.

What is the Firefox start page looking for when it tells me I'm not using the most current version and need to update Firefox? The check for updates button says my version is up to date, but the start page disagrees. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

Okay: My start page is the one Google provides: http://www.google.ca/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official and frequently it has a note underneath the search box that "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" But when I check for updates on the About Firefox window, it says my Firefox is up to date. So what is the start page looking for? Is there some setting I need to adjust? Or is this a Google marketing ploy to get me to switch to Chrome?

I tentatively think I have the solution; this is for when the session id value 'thing', in about:config, referred to in other answers is already on the default/rest state.
I am assuming, I don't what to imply certainty in-case there is a value wrong in our browsers, that the problem stems from the fact that our homepage is no longer the default for Firefox.
So, go to 'Options'>'General' and delete the homepage. This will reset it to the new address, which is 'about:home'.
I hope this helps some people.

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.

Check for updates (apps) does not work any more

In iTunes when I click the "Check for Updates" nothing happens. But, I can download update using my iPhone as usual.
In iTunes I can still buy new APPs, access the store, buy music, TV shows as usual.
Any suggestion,
MS

Im also having the same issue. I called Apple they refer me to do an uninstall of all ituns apps which I did by following the link they that he had emailed me ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) which i did anden when the still I got the issue has not been resolve I even went thru unistalling it and deleting all of the windows registerys and reinstall and still no fix.
it seems like they dont know the cause or have a fix, does anyone has any ideas

Is it possible that an 'check for updates' button can be added under the update tab instead of waiting for Thunderbird to check in the background please?!

I'm not always able to 'catch' the update notification popup when it happens, and I do not wish to allow automatic updates without my approval. I have a rather 'sensitive' internet situation. Would it be possible to add a button under the updates tab to allow us to manually check for updates please? This would greatly help my situation.
Thank you for your time
Baseman

Maybe what you called AppMenu is labeled differently as I cannot find that. And yes, the menu bar is visible. And the help menu only lists Help Contents, Troubleshooting Information, What's New, Release Notes, Restart With Add-ons disables, & About Thunderbird.
If I click Tools, then Options, then Advanced I see the Update tab. In this tab is where one should find a button labeled 'check for updates'. I do not see that. My only options are:
- Automatically Check For Updates
---Thunderbird
---Installed Add-ons
-When Updates To Thunderbird Are Found
---Ask Me What I Want To Do
---Automatically Download And Install The Update
-----Warn Me If This Will Disable Any Of My Add-ons
"Show Update History" button
-Use Background Service To Install Updates
I've attached a screen shot of this menu
