SoftwareUpdate Won't Update iTunes to 11.0.4 on 10.6.8

iTunes today told me on startup there was a new version available. I clicked
download/install or whatever it said, and Software Update started up and did it's
thing searching for update-able software on my machine. It tells me I'm up to
date.
Investigating this further I tell itunes to check for updates and again it tells
me 11.0.4 is available. I have 11.0.3.
I click "download itunes" within itunes and again software update starts up,
"Checking for new software..."
Again it says, "Software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer
at this time."
So I google "itunes 11.0.4" and see that the update CAN be applied to 10.6.8, my
present OS.
I google "software update doesn't update to itunes 11.0.4" and find
no reports.
So I am wondering what is the reason for this? I CAN download directly from
here, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ but why doesn't software update see
the new version?
Thanks for any help.
Mac Pro, OS X 10.6.8

Thanks.
As I mentioned I can get the update here  http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ but the question is why can't SU figure out that I can get the update and tell me so?

  • IPhone apps won't update, iTunes Store won't open

    I can't figure out why my apps won't update on my iPhone. I have rebooted, deleted the apps that wouldn't update and froze (waiting) and rebooted after that. I may not have the greatest wifi connection ... I am out of town and dependent on hotel/convention center wifi. Went to App Store to reload the deleted apps (some), but same thing.  I saw a response regarding iTunes, went there...took forever for iTunes to open, it kept stating I couldn't access iTunes Store, and after hitting "okay" probably 4 times to confirm that iTunes wouldn't open...it did.  So I thought that was the problem and returned back to App Store and tried to reload just one app.  Well it's been an hour and a half or more, can't reload it. It creeps along and I thought the app was loaded, but no. I can reboot only, not reset because I am no in home like I said. This is more than "fairly frustrating". What the heck can I do?

    Do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until apple logo appears.

  • Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

    I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
    It says "Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
    I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
    Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

    so i tried to download the windows installer update from the link you gave me but now i'm getting a different error and it won't let me download the installer. The error reads:
    Windows Script Host
    Script: C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsl.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject"
    Code: 800A01AD
    Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
    I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Please help!

  • My iBook G4 won't update iTunes - Software Update says no updates found

    OS X 10.4.11 - when I open iTunes it says that the new version is available but then when software update comes up, it says there are no updates. Can iTunes be updated further on my iBook or do I need to upgrade the OS?

    iTunes 9.1.1 is as far as you can go with V10.4.11.
    You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5 in order to update iTunes.
    Make sure your iBook meets Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5

  • Problem when syncing: won't update itunes play count/last played etc

    My old 2g shuffle was capable of updating play count/last played and adding songs to the recently played playlist when synced to my itunes.
    Seems my new 3g shuffle can't do this.
    I remember the trick with the 2g was to make sure it was switched off first before connecting/syncing, but I've tried all sorts of different combo's with the 3g and nothing will make it update song stats in itunes.
    How can I make it update my itunes?

    Ok, cool, I figured it out:-) Just in case anyone ever has the same problem, here's a quick rundown:
    Basically it's the same problem you can get with 2nd gen shuffles if you're manually managing songs. So I just unticked manually manage music in the device summary and got the shuffle to sync music from a playlist I created/dumped all the songs I wanted into.

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

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

  • My Apple TV won't update and I can't sign into iTunes

    I have the second generation Apple TV which is due an upgrade of software but it won't update. I kept getting a message saying that it wouldn't work. It also won't sign me in to iTunes and Netflix never works. Not sure of this has anything to do with not being able to upgrade. Can someone help?

    We had this problem and a restart fixed it.

  • HT4623 Updated iTunes to latest version, updated iPhone to iOS 7 and now my phone won't work at all.  Won't connect to my WiFi, and won't talk to iTunes . . . Now what do I do?

    I now have a useless $700 phone.  Updated iTunes to latest version (and can't get it to revert back to an earlier version), updated iPhone (iPhone5) to iOS 7 and now it won't talk to iTunes, nor will it connect to my WiFi.  What should I try now?

    If it won't talk at all to iTunes, you can hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds, it will power off, this is ok, then let go of the power button while holding the home button until iTunes sees it as a device in recovery mode.  You can try to reinstall iOS7 and then restore.

    Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update.  You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time.  And of course make a backup of your whole library first.  It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates.  Better safe...
