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.

  • Itunes "check for updates" feature not working?

    my friend has itunes 7.0 and when he clicks on "check for updates" inside the itune program it says:
    “This version of iTunes (7.0) is the current version.”
    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.
    thanks

  • ITunes app store update button not working

    I'm using iTunes 11 on a windows 7 pc, and the problem is that the for apps with update available, the app page in the store is shown to be "downloaded" and not clickable, whereas in iTunes 10 the button says "update". I have a quite large app library with 1000+ apps and the checking for updates button does not always give all the available updates. And it's not latency issues because apps that have updates months before still show up in the store page as downloaded. Anyone else have this issue/bug? I really rely on the update button on the iTunes store page a lot, so any help wound be appreciated. Thanks!

    Not sure about the layout on PC but try this.
    (1) Starting at home screen (click the house icon top, middle). (2) Top right, click on Library button. (3) Next screen, top left, click the icon that says Music.  It will pull up a menu where you can select Apps (also movies, tv, etc).
    At the bottom right you should see your update button for your apps and telling you the count of those.
    Good luck

  • 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...

    Hi,
    Sorry I missed your post earlier, but I did see another similar one that resurrected this old thread:
    Re: Error when using Check For Updates
    Apparently no progress yet on this, but since only the refresh list of update centers fails, you can try manually adding the standard Update Centers to the Search list on Step 2 of the wizard:

  • "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.

  • HT1688 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.

    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 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".plz help

    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.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Continue to hit the check for update button ?????

  • How to Disable Check for updates button in Help/About in firefox 5.0

    Hi the user should not manually check for updates so we want to disable the Check for updates button also in Help/About.
    Thanks in advanced

    You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

    You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please?

    How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please? If possible please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my circumstances.
    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually saved in an updates or updated folder in the Firefox program/application folder.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.
    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.

  • 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.

  • 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.
