ITunes 8.1 Software Application - Check for Updates Freezes Up

Ok, I updated to 8.1 iTunes and everything seems to have installed fine, however, whenever I go into my Applications folder and click on "Check for Updates" at the bottom right of the window, iTunes 8.1 freezes up. If I Ctrl-Alt-Del and look as the running process, it shows iTunes to "Not be Responding" upon which the only way to get out of it is to force quit the application.
Anyone else experience this?

Well, now it's crashing after launching. Very similar to the ones that has been posted here and several people are now having the same problem.
I see that you can shut genius bar and it fixed it for some, however, like others, I don't think I have enough time to disable Genius before it crashse.

You have a 1st generation iPod Touch. It can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3, it is available at the link below.

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

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

ITunes wakes display everytime it checks for updates

Has anyone else noticed that iTunes wakes the display when it checks for new podcasts? I would like to set the update time to once every hour, but it's annoying to have the display wake every hour.
Does anyone know of a setting to keep iTunes from waking the display?

New computer, new OS, no longer a problem.

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.

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

HT4623 What if "check for updates" tells you "iOS 6.1.3" BR "Your software is up to date" on both iTunes 11.0.5.5 AND in iPod Touch (4g) settings?

iOS 7 requires a 5th generation iPod touch.

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.

Reboot the device and see if the error happens again. Updating through iTunes is usually optimal, but the file size differs via Software Update on the device and iTunes (50MB vs ~800MB)

I'm trying to update my software to iTunes 10.5.2. I click on the install button, click the Accept button, the software checks for updates, and then I am back at the original download screen. I can't seem to get past this loop. Any suggestions?

If I go through the setup that you suggested, won't I screw up the existing software on my system?
No. The iTunes installer will first uninstall the existing version of iTunes and then put in the new one. (That's actually also what happens when you use Apple Software Update to install a new version ... it just doesn't show the uninstall phase like the iTunes64Setup.exe or iTunesSetup.exe does.)

Cannot upgrade my iPod Touch 3rd gen from 4.2.1 to 4.3.2. I click the button "check for updates" on iTunes and it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version."

1.Go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
2.Download the iPod Touch 3G 4.3.2 Firmware to your desktop.
3.Go to your iPod summary, then hold shift.
4.Keep holding shift and click Restore.
5.Go to desktop on the window that comes up and click the software.

Then that means you got the ipod touch 2G because the ipod touch 2G only goes up to iOS 4.2
