Updating apps in iTunes 11.0.3 "check for updates" missing?
Hi, I've just updated to 11.03 and when I look at the apps listing I know longer have a "check for updates" button. Does anyone know where its gone?
Sorry found it now - new menu item.
Duh.
Open iTunes. Your music library should be front and center, with the "iTunes Store" button in the upper-right and the "Music" button in the upper-left. Click on that Music button in the upper-left, and select "Apps" from the drop-down menu. Now along the center of the top area should be six options, "All", "iPhone/iPod touch", "iPad", "iPod Games", "List" and "Updates". Click on Updates. From here you can either click the "Update All Apps" button that finally appears in the lower-right corner, or click on any app individually for the option to manually update just that app.
The "Check For Available Downloads..." option you can select from the "Store" menubar item serves a different purpose entirely; while I've used it for downloading music I had already purchased but been unable to initially download, it does nothing for downloading new updates to apps already in my iTunes App library.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.
Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

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. -
i wan't update using itunes, i want to make update using my phone, but when check for an update using software update in setting message appear " can't check for update....."?
Reboot the device and see if the error happens again. Updating through iTunes is usually optimal, but the file size differs via Software Update on the device and iTunes (50MB vs ~800MB)

Installed 11.0.3 today. Tried to update apps. iTunes response was, "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." I REALLY don't understand. I paid for MANY applications and stole or borrowed NOTHING.

You may want to report an issue with the affected apps using the instructions in this article:

How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?

Itunes takes forever to check for updates
I was trying to check for updates for my iTunes. I was going to upgrade it to 9.2. The update check took too long until the software stopped responding. Everytime i check for updates and new apps, it hangs and I have to close iTunes. My brother suggested reinstalling iTunes and I did. But the same thing happens, I tried to check for updates on my itunes again (when i tried the update check on my brother's iTunes, a pop up instantly appeared saying it was already updated or something like that), but the same thing happens.. takes too long to check and stops responding. help please
is your Apple Software Update currently working properly?
To check, go "Start > All programs > Apple Software Update". Does ASU launch, or do you get an error message? -
So I bought a Powerbook G4 from a pawn shop and yes, I did check to see if it was still good. everything works fine but I need an update because I have OS X 10.3. So I connect to the internet and then I click on ''Software Update'' and I wait. But then a message opens saying ''An error occurred while checking for updates'' And I don't know why. HELP!!!
Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware). -
Just updating my Mac with latest itunes , but it says check your connection to internet as cannot connect with itunes server ? Any ideas
What modem and what kind of service do you have, ie cable??
Some modems are not playing nice with the TC.. the Motorola in particular.
What model TC do you have?
What firmware is it running??
Firmware matters in some cases. The problem is more on the later firmware.. so 7.6.3 or 4 mostly with Gen1-4.. or any firmware on a gen5.
Reset for the models is slightly different although all can be done like this.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -

itunes coud not check updates for iphone4 when i connect by cable only when i put iphone4 to AIR PLANE MODE
You must Restore the phone. It will probably only worth with an AT&T SIM, unless your friend had AT&T unlock it first. The phone may be jailbroken, also; one indication of this would be the app "Cydia" on the phone's Home screen. If it is the phone is most likely worthless to you.

Just upgraded to iPhone 5 - now when i am asked to upgrade and App it askes me alternatley for my old mobile me acconut details and then the new iCloud user name and password - how do i change deatils to just one login?
You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using.
