Shift button + restore / check for update no longer works

Hello the shift and restore no longer works. It was taken away in an earlier version of itunes. I'm using the 64bit version but im sure it dosent work in 32bit version either. I still see posts referencing to it what is going on. I'm running it as administrator and I have full keyboard short cuts turned on. Any help would be great.

Unfortunately, downgrading your firmware is not supported by Apple.
(and yes, I know it's possible, you just won't get help here)

ITunes "Check for updates" don't work for two specific app

I have iPhone 4S, and iTunes at Windows 7 PC. Clean install.
I've bought an GPS navigation app, Turkey Navigation iGO Primo app, which was free at first release day. My problem is, when I click the button "Check for updates" at iTunes(PC), it don't show me any updates, but when I go to app's(iGO Primo) iTunes page, I see that new version released, and iTunes price button says "Update". So I can manually update the app, but iTunes can't automatically finds it. This symptom only occurs for two apps iGO Primo app and Google Search app.
A friend of mine also bought the Primo app at same time as me, and she has no problem, iTunes can find updates automatically.
I can delete the app from iTunes and download again, but no luck, no fix.
Developer(NNG) and Apple technical support can't help me a bit.
Maybe there is other apps at my library that has this problem, I don't check every app's page manually if an update released.
Do you have any solutions?

From the Store menu, select
Check for Unfinished Downloads...

Check for Updates does not work.

I have SQL Developer Version 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34
When I check for updates it's failing with this error

Any workaround?
Thanks Ramon

Hi,
Sorry I missed your post earlier, but I did see another similar one that resurrected this old thread:
Re: Error when using Check For Updates
Apparently no progress yet on this, but since only the refresh list of update centers fails, you can try manually adding the standard Update Centers to the Search list on Step 2 of the wizard:

Add-ons - Check for updates doesn't work

Hi
In FF5 i found that the "Check for Updates" and "Update Add-ons Automatically" does not work for plugins. I notice in FF6 that a link has appeared "Check to see if your plugins are up to date".
However i've now discovered that in FF6, "Check for Updates", "Find Updates" (from the right-click menu of a particular add-on) and "Update Add-ons Automatically" did not work for extensions either.
Please see here for evidence https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862250
My question is - is Check for Updates / Update Add-ons automatically intended to work for either plugins or extensions. If so, has the bug been reported, if not, why is it there?
thanks ...

That is because the creator hasn't uploaded that new version yet to the Add-ons site and if he has done that then the extension still needs to be approved before updating will work.<br />
Such unapproved extension usually appear first on the versions page (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/versions/) waiting for review, but that hasn't happened yet if this case.
Plugins always need to be updated manually by visiting the website or via an alert from the plugin (Java and Shockwave do that)

Itunes "check for updates" feature not working?

my friend has itunes 7.0 and when he clicks on "check for updates" inside the itune program it says:
“This version of iTunes (7.0) is the current version.”
I thought the new version of itunes is 7.0.1.8? If so, why isn't the "check for updates" feature downloading the newer version? Can apple please fix this problem because users shouldn't have to download the new update manually and alot of users don't know there is a newer version because they all use the "check for updates" feature.
thanks

Running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8. I manually sync my apps/songs/etc.
I atttempted to updates apps using ITunes. The "Check for Updates" at bottom left was non-responsive. I tried:
• Disconnecting the phone (2x), then reconnecting to iTunes
• Relaunching iTunes (2x)
• Reverting back to the previous version (ugh - don't try it)
Googling the problem lead me to many MacRumors and Apple forum threads.
Went to work, tried again tonight and success! The only thing I can attribute the sudden functionality of updating via iTunes is from REBOOTING my G5. BTW, I am using a wired mouse.
Feeling a little silly that I didn't try that earlier.

Is it possible that an 'check for updates' button can be added under the update tab instead of waiting for Thunderbird to check in the background please?!

I'm not always able to 'catch' the update notification popup when it happens, and I do not wish to allow automatic updates without my approval. I have a rather 'sensitive' internet situation. Would it be possible to add a button under the updates tab to allow us to manually check for updates please? This would greatly help my situation.
Thank you for your time
Baseman

Maybe what you called AppMenu is labeled differently as I cannot find that. And yes, the menu bar is visible. And the help menu only lists Help Contents, Troubleshooting Information, What's New, Release Notes, Restart With Add-ons disables, & About Thunderbird.
If I click Tools, then Options, then Advanced I see the Update tab. In this tab is where one should find a button labeled 'check for updates'. I do not see that. My only options are:
- Automatically Check For Updates
---Thunderbird
---Installed Add-ons
-When Updates To Thunderbird Are Found
---Ask Me What I Want To Do
---Automatically Download And Install The Update
-----Warn Me If This Will Disable Any Of My Add-ons
"Show Update History" button
-Use Background Service To Install Updates
I've attached a screen shot of this menu

Podcasts no longer appear under ipod device in I tunes library. I can access podcasts on my ipod but I CANNOT access podcasts on I tunes library. I have disconnected and reconnected. I have restored my ipod. I have checked for updates. What else?

'Podcasts' under Ipod device disappeared in Itunes library. I can't manage my podcasts on ipod via I tunes library. I can access the podcasts on my ipod (5th generation), itself. I can access and manage music. I can add more podcasts to ipod. The podcast icon reappears with only the newly added podcasts. When I disconnect ipod and reconnect ipod, 'podcasts' no longer appears under the device. So I am unable to manage my podcasts on I tunes library which means I can't delete podcasts from I tunes library. I can only add podcasts. I have disconnected and reconnected ipod. I have checked for updates. I have restored the ipod to it's original settings. My next step will be to install and reinstall I tunes. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

To be clear, the podcast icon disappeared under Ipod device in Itunes. I can access and manage the podcasts in the itunes library. I can't manage podcasts on my ipod via itunes (which means I can't delete podcasts from my ipod). I can access podcasts on my ipod, itself.

I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

Greyed Out "check for update" and "restore"

Hi. Trying to figure out why the "check for update" button and the "restore" button are greyed out on my itunes when i connect any device to my computer. is it an itunes issue?

Can anyone help me with this?

What is the Firefox start page looking for when it tells me I'm not using the most current version and need to update Firefox? The check for updates button says my version is up to date, but the start page disagrees. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

Okay: My start page is the one Google provides: http://www.google.ca/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official and frequently it has a note underneath the search box that "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" But when I check for updates on the About Firefox window, it says my Firefox is up to date. So what is the start page looking for? Is there some setting I need to adjust? Or is this a Google marketing ploy to get me to switch to Chrome?

I tentatively think I have the solution; this is for when the session id value 'thing', in about:config, referred to in other answers is already on the default/rest state.
I am assuming, I don't what to imply certainty in-case there is a value wrong in our browsers, that the problem stems from the fact that our homepage is no longer the default for Firefox.
So, go to 'Options'>'General' and delete the homepage. This will reset it to the new address, which is 'about:home'.
I hope this helps some people.

How to Disable Check for updates button in Help/About in firefox 5.0

Thanks in advanced

You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

"Check for Updates" button in iTunes not working

Hi there,
Forgive this post if it is a repeat - I searched and didn't see this exact problem though (but perhaps it's a common one at any rate).
I have a lot of apps on my "Applications" page, and until recently, iTunes did a great job of allowing me to quickly check and then download all of my updates (usually on a daily basis) from that page. Now, when I click the "Check for Updates" button at the bottom of the window it says I have none - even though my App Store icon confirms for me that I indeed have several updates ready to roll.
I have de-authorized, re-authorized, restarted (computer and iPhone), re-logged into my account, and even deleted some and re-downloaded some of the applications.
Does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Max Izod

you may need to uninstall and reinstall itunes. reauthorize the account after doing so.
