Software update doesn't find new iTunes

For a while now when I open iTunes, it tells me there is an update available. When I click download, it sends me to Software Update. Software Update tells me "Your software is up to date". I check that iTunes was not an "ignored update" and it is not. I know I can download manually from the apple website, but that is not convenient and it means something on my computer is not setup correctly.
Anyone have suggestions on how to make Software Update realize I have an iTunes update?
thanks

What version of the Mac operating system is installed on your MacBook? To find this information, go to the Apple menu, select About this Mac and look where it says version.
iTunes 11.0.1 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, so if you want to use your iPhone with your MacBook, you will need to update the OS on the MacBook at least that far.
You can purchase 10.6.8 on disk from Apple for $20 (in the USA.)
If you want to get a more recent OS, let us know what the specs on your MacBook are, we'll tell you what you can get.
Best of luck.

Software Update doesn't find 10.5.7 Update

I have a 3-month old MacBook Pro and software update doesn't find the 10.5.7 update, About This Mac says my system is 10.5.6. I also have an orginal MacBook Pro running Leopard and this finds it.

Forget software update, it's better to update through combo (or directly downloaded from apple site) anyway.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1057comboupdate .html
Make sure to verify/repair the disk, and repair permissions from the OSX install disk Disk Utility before updating.
Also if you have Disk Warrior run that before and after install.
Lastly, most importantly...CLONE your drive before any install.
Use Superduper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.

HT1338 Apple's software update doesn't find any updates?

Since updating to OS 10.8.3 the software update does not seem to work anymore. Recently iTunes came up with a message saying that a new version was available but clicking on the update option it re-directed to the App Store and a notification appeared stating that no updates were available. Doesn't make sense to me, especially if I search online on the Apple website I find plenty updates!
Is this a known glitch or am I doing something wrong here? This problem has occured on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. Bye the way, an update to 10.8.4 hasn't changed a thing.

Maybe this?

N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
What do I do?
Regards,
Anders
By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

I don't know if that problem might be interconnected with the other in some way or not.

Software update doesn't find latest software on q10

Hy, I have a problem with my Q10. I have de OS 10.1.0.2309 and when I go to Software Updates and click on Check for Updates i get the message "You have the latest software". The same thing happens when i try with BB Link.
Can someone please help me update my OS to 10.3 or explain please what I have to do?
Thanks.

You don't know how many devices out of all the devices are having problems. I don't mean to make light of your issues. They are not good. But it definitely doesn't mean a majority of all devices have major problems. I have three devices on 10.3.1 and have only minor little bugs here and there.

Running 10.7.4 and Software Update doesn't find HP 4680 drivers

for some reason the magic of the software update is not enabling the necessary stuff to be findable
is there anything special about 10.7.4 and the HP photosmart C4680?

Hi,
As Apple Software Update fails to obtain the latest software you may install the HP Printer Drivers 2.11 package:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Then try addaing the printer again by clicking the plus sign under Print & Scan.
Hope that helps,

Software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time

HI
I manged to get all my updates downlaoded and on my server, i have currently enabled 133 of 400 updates.
I have changed my snow leopard machine to point to the internal update server
But then after a while of checking this displays software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time
Which is a Lie, because i know there are updates on the server that the computer needs to have.

Any ideas anyone?

Where do I find the "number of apps to update" button on the new iTunes?

I can't find the "number of apps to update" option in the new iTunes. Where has it gone?

Hi Janice
If you are talking about the Hard Drive, click on the Hard Disk on your Desktop to highlight it and then from the Finder menu > File select *Get Info*. You can also press Command + i to get the same dialogue box to open.
There you will see, the Capacity of the Hard drive, how much is used and how much free space remains.
If you are talking about the RAM, that shows in the first opening window of System Profiler.

I bought Finalcut X from the App store store when it first came out but software update doesn't see it and let me download the newer versions! How do I fix this?

Just delete it from the Applications folder, and re-download it.
If it still says installed when you go to Purchased in App Store, click somewhere else, and option-click Purchased. That allows you to redownload already installed software.

New 2009 Mac Pro, Software Update never finishes (finds no updates/result)

I have a brand new 8-core Mac Pro (new 2009 Nehalem-based model). The configuration is stock, 2.26GHz CPUs and 6GB of RAM. Bought this at the Apple Store yesterday. It is fresh out of the box; I have not even installed anything yet.
When I run Software Update, the "Checking for new software..." sheet appears, and the progress bar gets about 10% done, and then it just hangs there. For hours, so I assume infinitely.
The Software Update program is not crashed--you can still pull down the menus, and if you click Cancel, it will. It just never finds any updates. Nor does it finish the process and tell me my system is up to date.
I tried it on the command line too, and it hangs in the same way:
*IT-PC-MACPRO-1:~ mason$ softwareupdate --list*
*Software Update Tool*
*Copyright 2002-2007 Apple*
...also apparently forever.
Other than this, I haven't seen any problems with it in one day of use. This obviously seems like a software/configuration problem, not a hardware problem but still... not the best out-of-the-box experience. I am hoping this turns out to be a known issue with a simple fix. But has anybody else seen this issue?
The one thing I did try was moving the Mac to an entirely different network (from home to office). Other Macs here don't have any problem, just this one.
Clues appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
1) I found updating worked as expected if I created a another admin account, and used that to run Software Update. However, Software Update still would hang infinitely if I ran it using my main account (again, a fresh account created by unboxing the Mac and doing the first-use interview wizard thing).
2) Being curious, I tried removing each file you suggested independently, and trying Software Update (without restarting). None had an effect until I removed the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
After moving this folder aside, and launching Software Update again, it worked normally (no reboot required).
So that's some data, posted for posterity. I saved the corrupt cache file that seems to have caused the problem, so I'll file a bug report with Apple if I have time.

I have 10.5.8 and i'd like to update to Lion but I haven't the app store avaiable to my sistem and I can find the atualization. At the software update doesn't have any atualization... I updated my iphone4 to IOS5 and having problems to use ICloud

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.

"Software update" doesn't do anything whatsoever!

I have run "Software update" on my new Intel Mac Pro (10.4.9) successfully. Today, no matter how many times I select it from the Apple menu of Finder, the "Software update" doesn't do anything: no error, no "checking at Apple", nothing! Has anyone seen this, and what can I do to make it work again?
Mike

Go to System Preferences/Software Update, and
initiate it from there.
aha! That worked - great, thanks. Do you know why it stopped working from the Apple menu?!?
It should start working from
the Apple Menu after you do. To prove it, as SU
begins to run from System Preferences, click on the
Finder, then select SU from the Apple Menu. It should
immediately bring you to the SU window.
nope - this one didn't work. I tried clicking on it from Apple while it was "checking" and nothing happened. But after it was done checking, it did bring up the "new software is available for your computer" window.
So, it's not the end of the world since I can now run it from System Preferences, but it's kind of worrysome that it just stopped working. Also, does this mean it won't happen automatically (on a schedule)?

5800: Software updater can't find phone

So yeah, the Nokia Software Updater can't find my phone, and the "in-phone" updater gives me an Connection Error. Nokia PC Suite detects my phone just fine, although the Connection Center doesn't.
I'm connecting through a USB directly to the computer.
Any tips? I've updated everything, from drivers to software, and also reinstalled everything twice already. I'm just out of solutions.

If you've the latest firmware version, you have to wait till a new update comes available for your device.

I have nokia N73 and I make a newer update software. it installs successfully but the problem is that Software updater doesn't support Arabic language.
please

I want it nessecary.

I actually published an interactive Arabic textbook with iBooks Author - there were a lot of annoying formatting bugs, and more of it was in english than Arabic, as it was for beginners. I submitted it to see how much interest there was for doing more in Arabic, but I haven't had much demand so far.
check it out if you like:

there are a couple mistakes that I am aware of, and will update for the latest version, but if you see anything else, feel free to let me know.

Lion software update didn't find updates

I don't want to find and download updates manualy - I need automatic updates. Searching web a lot - no answer. Please help.

Back up all data.
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
