ITunes tells me to upgrade to iTunes 12, but my iMac software updates tell me there's no upgrade available?

iTunes tells me to upgrade to iTunes 12, but my iMac software updates tell me there's no upgrade available?

Thanks for the reply. I'm on an iMac running OSX 10.8.5 -- but I don't think that iTunes was ever removed from the Applications folder … and so I'm not clear on whether I should pull it out of the folder and then transfer it back in. Essentially within iTunes I am prompted to download the upgrade, but when I accept it kicks me over to my Software Updates menu on the iMac, where I am told "No updates available."

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • I want to upgrade to Illustrator CC, but my Imac is not 64 bit. Will it work?

    I want to upgrade to Illustrator CC, but my Imac is not 64 bit and the display doesn't meet the 1280 x 800 recommended. Any options other than buying a new iMac? Can't upgrade my current Illustrator CS2.

    You have a mid 2007 iMac. All Intel Macs are 64 bit architecture.
    If you upgrade your OS X version and upgrade your RAM, you can certainly run Adobe CC apps.
    How well it would run those apps would be the variable.
    Your iMac model can be upgraded all the way to OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    Your model iMac can be upgraded to 6 GBs of RAM.
    Adobe CC Mac system requirements
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    1GB of RAM
    3.2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with OpenGL 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512MB of VRAM (1GB recommended)†

  • HT1338 My software update tells me I'm not connected to the internet... if that's true how am I able to ask this question?... Can anyone tell me what's going on?

    I can't update my software because software update tells me I'm not connected to the internet... if that's true how am I able to ask this question?... Can anyone tell me what's going on and what I need to do to correct this?

    If you have a slow connection speed, update will not download.
    Are you using broadband and are you close to the modem?

  • Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment?

    Hi,
    Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment rather than having it downloaded through Windows Store?

    The update is not available via software updates. However, if you are doing multiple updates, you can bypass the Windows Store.

  • Since upgrading to Leopard, can't check for software updates or iTunes stor

    since upgrading to Leopard, i can't get software upgrades. I get error messages "software update can't connect to the update server. make sure you're connected to the internet, then try again. software update can't check for updates because of a network problem." My network connections are fine.
    Also get "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. the network connection was refused. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again." when I try to go to itunes store. Again, my network connections are fine.
    Any ideas?

    the solution is to use Little Snitch Configuration.app, which monitors online activity and gives option to allow/deny access of a given program.

  • I have a macbook pro and have just updated my itunes to the 10.5, it has been sitting on the 'software update' box for 2 and a half hours and only has about 3mm of space left that is not blue. Is it normal to take this long downloading this update? Help!

    I have been sitting looking at the blue line almost finished for over 2 hours. It says Writing files... underneath and Installing 11 items above the blue box. What should i do? Is there a problem or is it just taking a long time?? Im trying to set up my new iphone 4S but cant until this itunes is updated!
    Please help.
    Cheers

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • I am trying to install Itunes again but it wont let me. So i was uninstalling all the apple and itunes programs to start over, i have everything uninstalled exept Apple Software Update. HELP PLEASE

    When i try to uninstall Apple software update it brings up a message saying "There is a problem with this Windows installer package.  A program requirement for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I believe i have Windows VISTA. Yes i know its old but i have not had the money or time to update.
    I just want itunes installed properly so i can use it for when i have my new phone. please please help i have tried everything it seems like !

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

  • Itunes 10.4 won't install on 10.6.8 via software update

    everything is in the titel, won't update via software update and regular download on the apple website

    From the Apple website; requirements for iTunes 20.4:
    Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. See image below.
    So it WILL run on 10.5, 10.6, and Lion which is 10.7.
    That is why is shows up under "software update" on 10.6 computers.
    The problem is with the installer on some computers.
    I went to an Apple Store and a Genius had to us the "root" administrator account to install iTunes 10.4. It is a hidden administrator account.
    So go to an Apple store or call Apple Care if you are still under warranty.

  • 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?

    Hallo, während des Updates auf ITunes 10.5 erscheit immer wieder die Meldung: Die ältere Version von Apple Software Update kann nicht entfert werden. Setzen Sie sich mit dem Supportpersonal in Verbindung. Es geht offenbar um die Version 2.1.2.120. Diese ist aber nirgends zu finden in dre Folge auch nicht zu deinstallieren. Ich habe nun alles versucht zu deinstallieren und die neue Version zu installieren. ohne Erfolg. Er bricht immer mit obgenannter Fehlermeldung ab. Vielen Dank für Infos!
