There's no 'check for updates' on my itunes help menu

I am trying to update itunes on my windows laptop, but there's no 'Check for updates' on my help menu!  I nave 11.04, but there's and 11.05 and I want to update before installing IOS 7

Thanks AnaMusic. I didn't realise that I needed OS X Lion installed on my MacBook Pro. Bought it and installed and the icon is now there Now I'm faced with having to familiarise myself with the new features of OsX Lion and it is truly overwhelming. A step-by-step approach is called for I suppose. Thanks so much for your help

  • Can't update Firefox from version3.0.10. Firefox option is NA under automatic update. Check for updates is NA under Help menu. How can I update?

    On my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop, I have Firefox version 3.0.10.
    I want to update to the most current version but all update options are grayed out.
    On the automatic update screen under Advanced Options tab, the word FIREFOX is grayed out, so I can't select it.
    Under the HELP Menu, the CHECK FOR UPDATES is also grayed out.
    Somehow, something has happened along the way & now my Firefox can not/will not update itself.
    I do NOT share this computer with anyone & I am the Administrator.
    How can I get it fixed so it will automatically update Firefox again?
    And how do I find out what the latest version # of Firefox is?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Why doesn't "Check for Updates" appear in my Help menu?

    running firefox 4.0.1 under windows 7 with an account that has administrator privileges.

    That item has been moved and can now be found in the Help > About Firefox window.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • "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.

  • "Check for Updates" vs Download iTunes from web

    Hello collective wisdom!
    I think my question should be easy to answer. I'm helping my mom fix an issue with her computer in CA, but I'm in SD so there's only so much I can do.
    She's trying to install some books on her iPad and iPhone via iTunes on her PC. She has iTunes 8, but needs a more recent version. When she runs "Check for Updates" in iTunes, she gets the error that the iTunes server could not be contacted. I have already trouble shooted this error, but we cannot fix it because she does not know her admin password. My dad purchased the computer for her at Best Buy, which is two hours from where they live, and she doesn't want to pay $30 to have them fix it anyway. (I think the computer is running Win7, but it may be Vista.)
    I could figure this out if I were there, but I probably won't be back in CA for at least a couple years. My question is simple... Will installing iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ over her existing install fix the problem? If yes, will her music library be intact on the new install?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Paul

    Hmm, the folder C:\Users\Public\Desktop should already exist, though if you look for it then you will probably see C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop in the same way that Documents in one profile can be shown as Steve's Documents in another.
    Locate the Public Desktop folder, right-click and select Properties, select the Security tab, tap the Edit button and grant Everyone and SYSTEM full control. Use the Add button if needed to add the Everyone or SYSTEM entries, click OK when done.
    Try installing again.

  • TS1702 checking for updated apps in itunes

    when I had to restore OS lion, my apps files were deleted from itunes. some were restored when I synced my iphone and ipad to itunes, but many were not.
    does itunes check for app updates based on what's in its library or what shows as downloaded in the itunes store?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • Check for updates not working in 9 pro

    I am running Acrobat 9 pro on a Vista machine. Acrobat appears to have been malfunctioning (bates numbering is not working properly), and I uninstalled (and deactivated) Acrobat, and then reinstalled it.
    After reinstallation, I used the check for updates feature in the help menu to update from 9.0 to 9.2. But now every time I run Check for updates from Help, nothing updates. I get a dialog that there is an available update, and then an icon System Tray appears and a process is active for AdobeARM.exe. But nothing ever happens-no update. I then force close the process from the task manager, and still no success in getting Acrobat to update.
    What can I do? Thanks very much.

    LeoAdobeX:
    Thank you for your rely. Here is the more detrailed info:
    1. I pulled down the Help menu and chose Check for Updates.
    2. A dialog appeared that said an update was available; I clicked on the button that indicated I wanted to download and install the update
    3. Nothing further appeared onscreengiving my information or choice, but an incon then appeared in the system tray for the installer.
    4. Hovering over the icon does not pop up any status information. If I click, double click, or right click on the incon in the system tray nothing pops up, and nothing appears. At that point I get absolutely no response.
    5. If I go to task manager at that point it shows the active process AdobeARM.exe and gives no indication of it malfunctioning. But nothing installs and nothing downloads and nothing happens.
    6. If I then pull down the Help menu and chose Check forUpdates again, I get a dialog that says the updater is already running.
    7. All of this occured immedaitely after I reinstalled 9 pro.
    I hope this additional info helps. Thanks very much.

  • CR2011 - Check for updates option

    I remember reading a few weeks ago that there was an update for CR2011. I selected the check for updates option on the help menu. I saw a dialog box that said that there were no updates. Is the menu option working?

  • Need detailed instructions on how to enable " Check for Updates" option on the Firefox installation directory for Windows XP.

    I have Firefox 2.0 (running Windows XP) and want to update it to 3.6, but the "Check for updates" option on the Help menu is grayed out and need to enable this option by changing permissions on the Firefox installation directory. I need detailed instructions on how to access the Firefox installation directory and change the permissions.
    Can someone please assist?
    Thank you.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.

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

  • How do you do a click to check for updates in firefox 4?

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/780312''
    In firefox 3 there was an option to check for current updates .. I noticed in Firefox four my digital persona does work with my finger print reader anymore and its really more convient for me just to swipe my finger to log onto a website without having to remember every single password and its a pain in the rear end to look for them.. how do i check for updates to make sure I can repair a lot of the current problem with firefox 4 .. I love the program but it just has a few small flaws that I am sure will work its self out ..

    Firefox program updates are handled thru the Help > About Mozilla Firefox menu item, there's a Check for Updates button in that dialog when automatic updates are turned off.
    You can check for extension updates manually in the Tools > Addons > Extensions tab. Right-click an extension and use the Find Update menu item.
    I doubt in that fingerprint reader will update with Find Updates, though. You should look for updates at the fingerprint reader software website.

  • Check for update not working for Patch 2???

    I am running 1.0.0.14.67. When I run the Check For Update command it says there are no updates available even though Patch 2 is now on the OTN site. Is there anything I can try other than downloading the whole new zip and migrating my install?
    Previously I have successfully used the update centre to install new patches for the various extensions, so I don't think it's a problem with my firewall settings.
    Cheers, APC

    Ok - one other thing. If you run check for updates, then the front "Help > About " will not change. So this will still show 1.0.0.14.67, but the Extensions tab will change. Can you just confirm that? Check out the screen shot in this FAQ. So the various extensions will show the 15.57 updates if patch 2 is already installed.
    As far as I'm aware we do not have the patch set available as a separate bundle. I'll have to wake to for Kris to get in (west coast) before we can check that.
