Software update not showing iTunes 10.6.3 update

iTunes is telling me there is an update and when I click install it checks for system updates. iTunes 10.6.3 is not showing up in the system update and says everything is up to date. I cannot install iOS6 as a result. Any help?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. My Mac OS is 10.6.2 and I have another Mac running 10.5.8 both have the same issue. I find it hard to believe that I can't update my iPhone 5 without having to pay for a OS update??? I'll be getting two phones on Friday and this would mean I can only back them up?

ITunes 10.4 app update not working - iTunes downloads available app updates but without any effect - it doesn't update the apps in iTunes...

Since a few days I experience following issue when trying to download app updates for my iPhone or iPad
- I click on get update or on 'Download all free updates'
- iTunes successfully downloads the updates and seems to successfully process them
- BUT the list of available apps to update does not change! And when checking the version of the apps that were to be updated, they are unchanged
Any idea?

I had a similar problem. My iTunes didn't start automatically when I connected any of my devices after the upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1.
I found I had to add the iTunesHelper.app in System Preferences->Users & Groups under my account on the Login Items tab.
You have to navigate to it in finder, because I couldn't seem to do "Show Package Contents" on iTunes.app in the Applications folder from the file dialog you get when you hit '+'.
Once you have opened the package contents of the iTunes.app then the iTunesHelper.app is in Contents/MacOS. I just dragged and dropped into the Login Items window, then ticked it to start on login.
Note, this will only start it when you log in, to start it immediately just double click iTunesHelper.app in finder.

Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

11.0.3 update not showing up in software update.

I am currently running itunes 11.0.2 on OS X 10.8.3. Checking for an upate for itunes from within the app indicates an update is available. Choosing to download it brings up the app store. App store checks and retruns that no updates are available. Any ideas? I guess I could go ahead and download the install image for 11.0.3. Just curious why it isn't showing up.
thanks.

HT1338 Software Update does not show 10.8.5 Security Update 2014-002

I continue to have Mac 10.8.5 updates which do not show in the App Store Software Update. In the past it was always iTunes which didn't show. Now it's this security update. Why would Software Update not show these available updates? Instead it shows Mavericks and such as available updates, but not the current available security update for my version of OS X. I'm only aware an update exists because of online forums. Is this a widespread issue that is affecting everyone on Mt Lion?

Already tried that. We set up iClound under a new user account and it did not work.
(We tested iCloud Mail with Apple Sr. support yesterday, in a new user account. It did not work. Note, iCloud via web access via Safari of course will work, accessible from any computer. That is not computer-specific. But iCloud mail would not work on my Mac, nor in the Mail app, even under a new test user account. This was mentioned briefly in previous post above.)
Regarding re-installing ML, Apple support have never suggested that. They have only suggested moving my current data to a new user account, which as I mentioned is not realistic, and now with the new iCloud problem across any new user account, would not solve the problem.
How do you mean to re-install ML? Erase the HDD, reinstall ML, then restore from Time Machine?
I think Apple has not suggested that so far because they believe the problem is in the current Mac data, user account, and not in the system. They have told me migrating to a new Mac or even to Mavericks probly would not solve the problem. But now that it's a systemic issue with iCloud -- my previous issues with Software Update not working and appeared to be user account-specific, and still are – perhaps replacing the system software or upgrading to Mavericks will be worth considering.
They are currently elevating my case to "engineering." They will be looking at system data, I believe...
It's incredibly frustrating.

All apps need to update not showing in iTunes

All apps need to update not showing in iTunes. For example, 50 apps need to update. On section "Updates" shows only 10 programs. If you click on the "Update all programs" is updating all 50 programs. Last version of iTunes (11.1.5) installed.

On your MacBook yes, but not on another device. That should take place when your phone syncs with your iTunes. I wonder if what you are observing is due to the fact that you have turned off Wi-Fi syncing with your phone. Connect the phone to iTunes with the USB cable, select the summary tab and ensure that the option to sync over Wi-Fi is checked.

Error installing CS5 updates; Some updates not showing up.

When I select a photo in lightroom 5 and opt to edit it in photoshop, I get a notification that says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility. Pleas update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu."
Upon entering photoshop and opening the update tool, there are two updates, but neither for the Camera Raw plug-in. I went ahead and tried to update those anyway, and at the end, I got two error messages reading "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." and "Installation failed." The updates were for Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 and Adobe Device Central CS5.0.1, respectively.
My question has two parts. First, how can I work around these error messages and successfully install the updates, and second, why is the Camera Raw plug-in update not showing up? Thanks in advance!
Below are screenshots of the Lightroom message and the update error messages.

What updates should have been available, and
Why were they not available at that time?
Lets examine the case of the backup that has been on the shelf a while.
I really would like to help, but this post does not really answer my two questions. If you want to troubleshoot this scenario, we're going to need some HARD information to work with.
WSUS reported (updates needed report) that there were 90+ updates available and approved for that machine
The computer reporded that there were no updates available.
My first eyebrow-raising moment here is the idea that a computer has 90+ updates
approved and available (and, ostensibly, cannot find any of them to be downloaded), and my very first question in response to raising that eyebrow is this: And all 90+ of those updates are NOT SUPERSEDED??? To which my second question would be: When
was the last time that machine had patches installed?
I took a look at another computer in the same OU and computer update group with the same initial install image and I see 12 updates available, all not yet approved for that group.
If the updates are Not Approved, then those updates are also Not Available.
I'll also point out here that the best way to approach this scenario is to believe what you see and investigate the reason why, rather than questioning the veracity of what's displayed in the console or the logs.
If the client says there are no updates available for installation, then that's the bottom line, and the proper response is to identify an update that
should be available for installation and determine why it's not being downloaded/installed.

HT4623 ipad froze and shows itunes with plug while updating with iOS

ipad froze and shows itunes with plug while updating with iOS.

That message means that you have to restore the iPad using iTunes now. Something went wrong. This explains how to do it. Read it thoroughly before you start - and take note of the end of the article under Additional Information where it talks about using recovery mode. You might need to use it.

Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I can not find an album for photos before 2012.

Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone5 after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I cannot find an album or year for photos before 2012 (in the photo app). The iphone says the photo content is there when I check in "about" under general in settings. So the pictures seem to be somewhere but I just can't access from from the photo app. Any suggestions. I also know that they were there before the iOS7 upgrade as I was looking for a pre 2012 picture last week and it we there.

There is an app that I did not download in my update section. I read reviews and it seems to be spy ware. How do I get it from not showing up on my app updates?

There is an app that I did not download in my update section. I read reviews and it seems to be spy ware. How do I get it from not showing up on my app updates? I do not want to download or update it, obviously.

If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app. Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app. From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

Ipad won't start up after installing an update. Shows itunes icon with cord from the side.

ipad won'tstaart up after installing an update. Shows, itune icon and cord going tothe side. Cant make it do anything else.

That means that you have to restore the de ice using iTunes on a computer. There is nothing else that you can do to fix it now and you cannot back it up now either. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and restore the iPad.
IF you don't have a computer, find someone that has one running iTunes or go to an Apple Store and ask them to restore it for you.

Updated iTunes and iPod software iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

Updated software since computer said there were updates. Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices. Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting. Nothing helped. Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well. Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod. (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod. Just shows up in iTunes. HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up. I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

I tried to update my husbands iphone 4 to ios 6 from ios 4.3.3 That is the only update that showed up on itunes as an availiable update. The download took 3 hrs and after all of that the phone is the same showing no sign of being updated. We did turn it off and back on and still nothing. Can anyone please help and tell me what I need to do to update his phone. He is unable to update or downloaded apps or anything off of itunes at this point.
Thank you,
Tammy

So what happened to the phone during the process? It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed. Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it. The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.
