ITunes Software Update Does Not Work

In iTunes v 10.5.3.3 I click on Help, Check For Updates.  iTunes responds with "A new version of iTunes (10.6) is available.  Would you like to download it now?".  I click on "Download iTunes".
The "Apple Software Update" Dialog Box appears but iTunes does not appear on the list.  The only thing that appears on the list is "DVD or CD Sharing Setup Update."  The only way for me to update iTunes is to manually download the iTunes application.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.  I get the same result.  Is the problem the iTunes application or the Apple Software Update application?  I am running Windows XP Professional.

I repaired Apple Software Update.  It is now reporting that I need a "Boot Camp Update".  I do not use Boot Camp or have it installed on my system.
Doublechecking ... is your XP running natively on your computer, or is it a virtual installation on a system running Mac OS or Linux, or some other OS?
(Your ASU is behaving like your XP is installed on a BootCamp partition on a Mac system ... but if you aren't running BootCamp, it might be being confused by a virtual XP installation.)

  • HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

    My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

    Snow Leopard DVD:
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
    Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
    If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Specifications;
    Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
    Lion 10.7.x;
    Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
    As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)

  • Update to 10.4.4 now software update does not work

    Updated using the standalone installer and now Software Update will not launch, although I can run it from the Preference pane. Tried repair permissions. Ran cron scripts. Ran the combo update. Still no luck. Any ideas. Thanks.

    Confusing because they contradict each other. Where are you trying in the failed instance? From the About this Mac menu item? Please be a bit more specific. If my assumption is correct, then create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if it works there. Report back.

  • Software update does not work on OSX 10.9.5

    Hi,
    i am using OSx 10.9.5 version, and recently i could not run the "software update" nor the "App Store". i searched the internet and boodle but did not find a solution for my problem, nor know the root cause of it.

    it does not open either.
    as for software update, it does not even work when i try it from inside the iTunes.

  • Software update does not work when I try to update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7.  How do I update?

    How do you update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7?  Software update app does not perform update.

    That's because 10.7 is not an update, it is an upgrade that you have to buy by using the App Store app, not by using the Software Update.
    It costs $19.95: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

  • Software Update does not work...

    When I open Software Update the window opens, and then the progression bar begins to fill... but then nothing. The bar fills about an inch. Yesterday I even left the house for about four or five hours, and when I got home it was the same. My last update was in December '08... 10.5.6
    My internet connection is fine... I've run Disk Utility and repaired permissions... I can't think of anything else to do.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Try removing these items:
    /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHosr/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist (where 'xxx' is a hex number)
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Restart your computer.

  • Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine. Tried Proxies, but not sure what to do there. Only one box was checked, I unchecked it, and made no difference. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.

    Hi There,
    Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine.
    I have found some archieved discussions about this, but none that went  into detail about how to fix problem using proxies - I don't really  understand what they are/ do.
    I went into the Proxies screen, Only one  box was checked, "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" I unchecked it, and made no  difference. There was also some stuff written in the "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains" I deleated that and nothing different happened. Have also tried some other DNS numbers,  nothing worked yet.
    Any suggestions?

    I still have no idea what was wrong with Safari last week, but I opened it today, and its all working! Hurrah!
    Woohoo! I'm a great fan of things fixing themselves. Fingers crossed in New Zealand for no further problems.

    I Want to download i0s 5
    i have ipod touch 3rd gen

    You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
    Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
    To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
    Good luck

  • How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • Widgets, Safari, Software Update -- All not working since I got Comcast

    My Dashboard, Safari and Software Update have not worked since I got Comcast internet. I'm pretty sure their installer screwed up something, but I don't know how to undo it. Firefox, Adium, Mail and other internet applications all work great.
    I tried to fix the Software Updater problem a while ago and was able to get it to see what is available (by adding swquery.apple.com to the sites that bypass proxy settings), but it still refuses to download anything.
    I can't help but think there's one thing that's causing all this trouble. Any thoughts?

    You can have up to 5 computers authorized at one time with iTunes. There's no reason to deauthorize until you want to go over the limit. You can do this once a year. Do a clean install of the OS on the mac you are selling.

  • Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
    That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

    The fix was to install a new hard disk driver.

  • Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

    Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.
    Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

    There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

  • Why Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?

    QuestionWhy Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?
    AnswerSoftware Updater only installs security-related updates automatically. Non-security-related updates, and service packs installation are required to be initiated manually via the Software updates tab under the Policy Manager Console.
    In Policy Manager 12, a checkbox Show non-security-related updates has been introduced under the Policy Manager Console > Software tab. Unchecking the checkbox hides the following update types:
    Microsoft security tools
    Non-security updates
    Service packs
    Note: This checkbox is Policy Manager Console-specific setting. If you change the setting in one Policy Manager Console, it would not affect another Policy Manager Console connected to the same Policy Manager Server.
