ITunes says an Update is Available, so I click download and Software Update says everything is up to date?

This is really weird. I have iTunes version 10.6.1 and it says version 10.6.3 is available. I click to download and it opens Software Update. Suprisingly, software update says "All apps are up to date." What is wrong???
OS Lion 10.7.4

I'd try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up pictures

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

I'd be posting in the iWork forums.

I'm trying to update my iphone, but when I download the software update and then when it is "complete" a message pops up stating that it has been timed-outed and to try again later. This is the 5th time i've tried. And i am getting very annoyed.

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

Slow downloads and software updates despite fast internet connection

Hello,
I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 on a 1.25Ghz iMac G4. I have an 0x14E4, 0x4E Airport Extreme card, and can connect to Safari quite quickly.
My only trouble is with software updates and downloads - with software updates, the download speed gets ridiculously low and comes virtually to a standstill. When downloading from the internet, the download speed is slightly better but still very slow.
I have tested my connection on speedtest.net, and results say my download speed is of only 0.5 Mbps, whilst a more recent Macbook Pro connected to the same wifi network achieved 10.2 Mbps.
I had posted this in the G4 section and was told to post my issue here, another user having sugested that this might be coming from my ISP's DNS assignments.
Any idea what this might be coming from?
Thanks,
Kieran.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I upgraded Safari and my download speed has improved - Speedtest gave it 1.43Mbps - but this is still far from the 10.2Mbps other computers on the network have.
Could this have anything to do with my Airport card? Would my connection be faster if it was using an ethernet cable rather than wireless?
Thanks,
Kieran

Can the Adobe Update Server be used to automatically download and install updates?

Can the Adobe Update Server be used to download and install updates to Creative Cloud apps automatically without admin or user intervention?
I've noticed there is a Adobe Remote Update Manager, but I would rather all the updates and installs happen in the background.

Hi Nicholas,
Please check the link given:- https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/using-remote-update-manager.html
Let me know in case you require more detail on the topic.

About bash bug update being available but not showing up in software updates???

Apple has posted a Bash Bug update (as of 9/29/14) for various versions of OS X. It can be downloaded on the downloads page. But why doesn't it show up as an Apple update on the Software Updates page???
When I go there it says "there are no updates available". What's up with that???
thanks.. bob

Have you tried going to the App Store and finding the update there? Or getting the updater from the Apple Downloads site: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update

Chronic Download and Software Update Problems

For over a month now, my success rate at downloading Podcasts or using the "Software Update" has been around 5%.
Software update attempts often end with the error message: +*"Connection reset by peer. The installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder."*+
However, there is usually nothing added to the Trash and nothing to open from the Finder.
Podcast downloads often get terminated with the error message: +*"stopped (err= -3253)"*+
The above are happening on two different computers in my house and on two different internet connections. Things used to be consistently smooth on both and I don't recall making any major changes to my set-up lately.
Many thanks in advance for any help I can get with this. I need to upgrade my OS and some key applications.

"Connection reset by peer" means the server reset the connection. I, too, have found it impossible to download large updates, specifically the 10.5.4 Combo Update; the most I've been able to get before the download fails is 55MB (about 10%), but usually it's only about 3MB. The download starts out OK, but the responses from the server (TCP acknowledgements and additional data) become fewer and farther as the download progresses -- until it finally fails due to no response from the server.

I click on update though and it says do you want to update to iTunes 5 then I keep clicking download and nothing happens after.......

Can't update iTunes 10.5.3 to 10.6.3: not shown in Software Update

I want to update my iOS devices to iOS 6.0. When I click a device's Update button in iTunes, I get an alert:
A new iPad software version (6.0) is available, but requires iTunes 10.6.3. Would you like to download iTunes 10.6.3 now?
with Don't Download and Download iTunes buttons. When I click the latter, Software Update opens and shows various available updates NOT including iTunes.
So I'm stuck.

Interesting. Sometimes updates just don't show up for folks in SU, even though their machine fits all the requirements, and other people with the same kit can see the update in SU. (Sort of a "patchy coverage thing" ... I don't know the cause, I just try to get folks up to date using the .dmgs instead.)
... but in your case, it's plausible that iTunes 10.7.0.21 isn't showing up for you because the specs for it say it requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
If you update your Snow Leopard from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8, does iTunes 10.7.0.21 show up as an available update for you?

I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

ITunes 10.4.1 will not download via Software update after I click to agree to terms, nothing happens

I have OS Lion and went to Software Update to get the latest iTunes 10.4.1 (currently running 10.4 64 bit). Software Update notifies me of the update, I click install, and then I agree to new terms....and that's all that happens. Software Update remains open yet idle, nothing is being downloaded and there isn't a progress window with blue indicator for the time remaining. I've tried several times, even switched to 32 bit version of iTunes to no avail. I've never had an update do this and am wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
I've thought to download iTunes 10.4.1 fresh from Apple (ie not through Software Update) but don't want to risk screwing up the iTunes that I currently have, which at least works.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

nothing will be screwed up.
but, if it makes you feel better, do this:
download the iTunes standalone installer
reboot into safe mode
run a permission repair session using disk utility
run the installer
let the Mac reboot normally

HT4623 I can't find and download a software update, though it shows one available. How do I get the download

I can't update my i phone 4s. It shows a software update ready. Then when I try and download it searches a really long time and then says "UNABLE TO CHECK FOR UPDATE- An error occurred while checking for a software update." That's it. Where do I go from here? Thanks.

How are you trying to update, direct on your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update, or via your computer's iTunes ? If via your computer then you will need iTunes 11.1 installed : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

HT1725 I downloaded two albums yesterday and only half of each of the songs have downloaded when I play them. There is nothing to say it is waiting for the rest to download and I have checked for available downloads...help please!

no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

ITunes says an Update is Available, so I click download and Software Update says everything is up to date?
