Not checking for updates

Macbook pro late 2013 OSX Yosemite 10.10.3
Hi
I have Preference settings App Store enable for all auto updates.
Despite that i see every time i open app store i have over 8 updates to install, more over from 1 week ago. I think app store is not auto checking for updates.
Most of updates are from iMovies, Xcode...
Thanks

HI,
So you will want to check your Preferences for App Store in System Preferences.
make sure the Install App updates option is checked

Is there some way to instruct iTunes to not check for updates of one of my apps?

2nd gen ipod touch running 4.2.1 (which is the highest availble for that generation).
I have a free weather app that just came out with an update. This new version requires at least 4.3.
Since I have the older version of the app, iTunes notifies me of the update, which is not going to work on my ipod. (Actually I downloaded it anyway just to confirm that it wouldn't work, and sure enough, it didn't even want to start).
So now that I have deleted that version and reloaded the old one, will I be stuck with that number 1 next to the Apps icon for ever more? Is there some way I can instruct iTunes to not check for updates of that app? Or is there some other solution that isn't apparent to me?

You get all the new iWork suite (Pages 5, Numbers 3 & Keynote 6) free with your Mac purchase. You just need to go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple I.D.
We warn against relying on the new iWork Apps, they really are just public betas and we are getting a number of users here with unopenable files. Bad news if this is your Masters.
iWork '09 can be purchased as a Boxed DVD set from Amazon US$27, or online.
It is much more usable and safer (not totally).
LibreOffice [free] does not have as polished a UI but is actively supported, and uses open file formats as well as MsOffice formats. It also has the advantage of opening/saving virtually every known format on the planet (wish it would do Pages!) and has a usable but not briliant intgrated database.

My ipad 2 not checking for update

my ipad 2 which is on ios 6.0.1 is not checking for update... when i select settings>general>softwere it just shows ckecking for update and then nothing the loading never ends please help me i wanna update my ipad

Did you actually read the entire article from the website that linked you to here?
You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
From iOS 4 or lower - Here are the instructions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
More instructions here - for all iOS versions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update

Windows update could not check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.

I restarted my computer but still have this issue.
I changed the setting from "install updates automatically" to "never check for updates". clicked ok and then changed back to "install updates automatically". Tried to check for updates and still receive the same error.
Windows defender was turned off. I turned it on updated it but still receive the same error message.
The background intelligent transfer service and windows update are set to "automatic delayed start" and the status for both is "started".

Firefox insists on freezing computer while checking for updates I have said not to check

Firefox repeatedly checks for updates of disabled addons. I have DO NOT CHECK FOR UPDATES enabled, but . . . WTF FF ignores my options as if they weren't entered. I've done all I can.
I'm pretty tired of trying to open FF and being delayed while FF pleasures itself at my expense.

Yes, the Intex website does say that the phone has v1.3 installed. (http://www.intexmobile.in/product_detail.aspx?PID=191&PCatID=3#)
But in the settings it says that the software version installed is '''Intex_cloud_FX_V07''', and the update channel is '''release-spreadtrum'''. Does it mean the Intex uses its customized version of the OS? If so, how do I switch to the ''un-customized'' version.

"check for updates"

Hi
I have a problem, when I am in iTunes on my computer and have the iPad connected, have selected "devices". If I then push the "check for updates" I always get a warning saying "iTunes could not check for update to the carrier settings for your iPad. an unknown error occurred (1631)". I am connected to the internet.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is? and what I should do to be able to check for updates?
I want to get the new ios4.2

I get the following message, when trying to check for updates on itunes:- "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later".

I get the following message when I go to "check for updates" on iTunes (I have XP on windows). Error message: "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later".
My firewall (both anti virus firewall and windows firewall, are set up to allow itunes programme to work) - I also have set both internet explorer and chrome to allow
apple website as an exception.
However, I still get the same error message... can anyone help?
Thanks

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

My Firefox 3.6.20 does not display Firefox 6.0 when "Check For Updates", instead it shows that No Updates Available. Why is that?

I just today updated to Firefox 3.6.20 from Firefox 3.6.18. I tried checking for new updates again using the Check for Updates option under Help and it said that "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." I am looking for Firefox 6 update, but it does not find it. This happened before when I tried to search for Firefox 5 when I had Firefox 3.6.18 and before Firefox 6 came out. Why does it not detect the latest version of Firefox when there is clearly a newer version out there?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

My firefox beta 12 using Linux platform does not update to firefox RC1 via the "check for update" function. I know windows' beta version had this fixed, when would Linux get similar support ?

Current platform : Linux
Current firefox version : Firefox 4 beta 12
Issue : does not update to RC 1 using the check for update feature.
Background : previously downloaded beta 8 and then it automatically updated to beta 12 using update features but for RC1, it does not.
I know users under Windows platform had same problem but was resolved and they can now update via check for update feature.
Please implement for Linux users too.
Thanks !!

If you can't update then you can download and install the full Firefox 4 RC version.

Itunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. An unknown error occur (-50)

Have problem with "Check for Updates" for iTunes or accessing iTunes stores. Called Apple support locally in Singapore who couldnt help resolve the problem and was directed to helpdesk in Norway but after hours on the phone, they still could not solve the problem. They are also referring solutions from iTunes support FAQs to go through the problem I encountered. In the end, they said will escalate the matter to next level and will contact me back but they never did. Other error message include "A program caused iTunes to stop working..."
I am using a SONY Vaio with Windows 8. Current iTunes version is 11.1.3.8. Disappointed with Apple Support. I was able to do backup with itunes though. Appreciate anyone who encountered similar problem to share the solution. Thanks.

I got the same error but I think I know what's wrong with my situation. My iPhone 4 is programmed for a CDMA carrier that Apple doesn't support. I have limited ability with the phone... but I still love it.

Although I am logged in as an admin, I can't check for updates or update Firefox. I'm on a Mac and would rather not delete this version and just reinstall the new version bc I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help - thanks.

I need to update Firefox to the latest version, but check for updates is grayed out. I am already logged in as an admin for my computer (it's a Mac), but my computer is telling me that I don't have permission to update Firefox. How can I update Firefox? I don't want to delete and reinstall because then I will lose my bookmarks.
Thanks!

'''I have also been having a problem I thought it was me or my computer'''as I am not really that good with my computer ,Also there are pages that I try to go to hat says pages busy or moved can not connect,but I can from explorer.
