Itunes keeps asking me to update

HI, my apple software update keeps prompting me to update to 11.1.3 but I have this version and when I go into iTunes and check for updates it says I have the latest version. When I look in the tab on software update which outlines what is installed iTunes 11.1.3 is there! Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Had same problem - try this.
(the original article URL is http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/tackle-a-hung-app-store-update-in-os-x/).
BTW - I didn't need to do [yet another] permissions fix, just the updates and cache folders cleaning.
=============
First, force-quit the program (the rest of the system should still be responsive). Then:
Clear the App Store updates folder
When updates are installed by the App Store, the updater packages are placed in the Macintosh HD/Library/Updates folder. If the files downloaded are somehow corrupted, then this may interfere with the App Store's ability to run them. Therefore, as a first step, try clearing the contents of this folder.
Clear the App Store caches
In addition to the updates folder, the App Store program creates a couple of caching locations to store temporary files in when running its various routines. Problems with these caches may cause the App Store program to hang.You can fix this by opening the Terminal and running the following command to reveal the caches folder that your account uses for various programs:open $TMPDIR../C
In the window that opens, locate any folders that begin with the name "com.apple.appstore" and remove them.
Next perform this same routine, but this time open the Temporary Items folder by running the following version of the same command:
open $TMPDIR../T
Perform a permissions fix
Since the software-updating routines in the Mac App Store require access to system resources, ensure the permissions setup for these resources is in an accessible state by running a permissions fix on the boot drive using Disk Utility. This can be done by selecting Macintosh HD in the sidebar of Disk Utility, and then clicking the Repair Permissions button in the program's First Aid tab.

    My account has a credit balance but iTunes keeps asking for a update for credit card

    If you don't have a balance the option for none should show up. If it does not or it gives you the message that there was billing issue with a previous purchase you will have to satisify the balance with either a credit or debit card attached to a bank account. Certain prepaid cards will not work if not attached to bank account with routing number.

    I curently have credit on my itunes account. However when I try to purchase an app, it keeps asking me to update billing info. Why is this when I have credit ?

    To purchase from iTunes you are required to fill in an address section under the billing info. You don't have to put in a credit card, just a name and address, so that iTunes can send you receipts later.
    I had to do this when I first started buying things from iTunes, you just go to Account>Billing Address> Edit

    Hi bodeboni!
    You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • ITunes keeps asking my security questions on every purchase

    iTunes keeps asking my security questions on every purchase. I forget the message, but it said someting about this being my first time dowloading. I know the answers, so I enter them and proceed to download my purchase. But next time I make a purchase I have to answer them again. I only noticed this after reinstalling iTunes after updating windows 8 to windows 8.1

    Itunes keeps asking to verify pament info,every time I do it 1 dollar is being charged.How to fix?

    I'm having the same issue.  I've been completely locked out of the app store because MLB.com is trying to charge me $3.13.  I recently updated my phone to iOS 7.0.4 and I need to re-download my apps.  It doesn't seem very fair that I cant access the apps that I have paid for and my FREE apps because of one app.  I would understand if MLB at bat wasnt working but I now have ZERO apps on my phone minus the basic ones that come with iOS...Someone help us!!  =O

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

  • Running snow leopard 10.6.8,safari 5.1.10-yahoo mail keeps asking me to update my browser but there's no link. Does it think I'm running Mavericks or what;s going on. Have carried out updates

    Running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 & Safari 5.1.10
    Problem is with Yahoo mail which keeps asking me to update my Safari browser but everything is up to date as far as I can tell. Have reset Safari & empties cache.
    But no change- every time I go to open Yahoo mail it goes to a page with update boxes for Firefox & Safari asking me to upgrade but on hitting Safari upgrade box it just takes me to an Apple page that explains the benefits of the new Safari ( Mavericks maybe ) with no option to upgrade. Can anyone suggest an answer to this annoyance.
    Thanks very much,
    Dino.

    Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • NCF keeps asking to be updated

    I have a few machines where the NCF keeps asking to be updated. They
    get the little popup at least once a day. Only solution is to check the
    box that basically says don't ask me anymore.
    I have check the dates on all the modules and they are all up to snuff.
    Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. All machines
    are W2K pro SP4 with the same patches installed but different hardware.

    Hey Richard,
    What exactly would I be checking for? To see if there are files there?
    To see what the dates are? The modules listed in NCF are current.
