Why is my mac app store not finding updates for iTunes 11.1?
I have been desperatly waiting all day at work to get home and install iOS7. I get home and plug in my phone to have iTunes tell me this:
"A new iPhone software version (7.0) is available, but requires iTunes 11.0.5. Would you like to download iTunes 11.0.5 now?"
I click download and the App Store then informs me that no updates are available.
Then I go back to iTunes to try again. This time I go to the iTunes menu, then Check for Updates. This message appears:
"This version of iTunes (11.0.5) is the current version."
So, why am I no getting an option to update to 11.1? And, why is iOS7 not downloading eventhough iTunes recognizes I have 11.0.5, which is what my error message tells me I need.
I am at a complete loss and am reaching entirely new levels of frustration.
If anyone was able to conquer this issue, please help me.
Thanks.
Download itunes 11.1 from
www.apple.com/itunes/download/
from Safari. Not Google Chrome! It only offers 11.0.5 in google chrome. I had the same problem and fixed it by downloading the newest itunes (11.1) from Safari.

Mac App Store is stuck looking for itunes.
Mac App Store is stuck on "One moment please connecting to the itunes store". The mac app store works on the laptop and itunes store works on all devices as well. I have purchased many apps on the iphone, ipad and even itunes on the imac. The Mac App Store will not let me log into my apple id either. Can anyone help? Please
@dah-veed - I have tried that and all of the information is correct. I downloaded a song and it went through in iTunes. However the Mac app store is still lookin for iTunes. I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2 and reinstalled it. Did not help the Mac app store. I read a couple of articles saying that I will need to re-downloaded 10.6.6 to install a new copy of the Mac app store. I did. Still no help. I went as far as re-downloading 10.6.7. Still the Mac app store is looking for iTunes to no avail.

Mac app store always shows updates for not installed apps
Hi,
I've got fresh install of 10.7.1 (replaced hdd, installed via Restore OS usb flash drive). Everything works properly, except of Mac App Store.
For some reason it shows me as updates all apps I ever purchased. Installed and updated to latest version, as well as not installed yet.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks!App Store support. There is troubleshooting and a contact link.

Mac App Store not showing Updates or Purchases
After upgrading my Mac OS to Yosemite, my App Store isn't showing anything under the "Updates" tab (It did some automatic updates in the background, so the number of pending updates dropped from 13 to 2).
Although I have already signed in to Mac App Store, it says:"You must sign in to view your purchases" under the "Purchases" tab. "Sign in" is a clickable link but when I click it nothing happens.I'm having the exact same problem.
I can sign in via the menu bar-store-sign in, but it doesn't change anything.
In the bottom right corner of the updates page there's a US flag icon showing, indicating I'm in the wrong store. Unable to change to Norwegian.
I am also unable to go into iCloud in system preferences: -
Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)
Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)
I was at my friends house, everything was working fine. I went to my girlfriends house, everything was still working fine. Then once I got home, I got back out my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" to use and some pages on the internet looked a little odd. They were all in HTML format and wouldn't go back (Pages such as Skype and Apple's main page). I thought they were just down or being fixed up, but then I went to update my Mac under the App Store. I clicked the App store and a message popped up saying "App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store." The options were "Cancel" or "Continue". I clicked "Continue" so I could update my Mac, but weird enough, the App Store started flickering (strobing; blinking) as seen in this video by someone with the same problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De8aQZccRvA
I do not know what to do or why this is happening, so help would be VERY nice.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
The Mac App Store shows an update available for iMovie but when I click "update" it gives me this message, "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." What can I do to update this program?

App store shows new update for program I did not purchase
App store shows new update for program I did not purchase. This is "CodeBox". When I push button to download update it shows "uknown error". For normal other updates - "update all" not working anymore.
How to delete this line from updates section now.The problem was finally solved. I am writing very simple solution for those who may have same issue. I tried 1st solution proposing to exclude HDD from Spotlight search and then to restore it (delete from exceptions). It worked for some time and removed notification, however later it appeared again. Then I has started thinking that it was caused by data inside some installed SW and it has been proved later. I have started excluding from Sportlight not all HDD but by folder, searching for the problem area. I have discovered that folder Games was causing the issue. Then I have started to delete installed games one by one and have found Game with was triggering this notification (for other SW!). Problem was fixed after deleting this game. Other deleted games could be easily restored from recycle been.

Now what to do help me pleaseiCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded. -
App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase
App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase.
Below is a snapshot of how it looks like.
Why is there an update when I don't even have the app ?
If I click the Update button , the message I got is this :
and I have no idea what's going on.Thanks DahVeed, it all make sense now. No-wonder someone elses e-mail ID was showing up.
I never advocate the usage of pirated apps, as being a software developer myself I understand the difficulty of creating apps and when people use it without purchasing them.
I can confirm that the app is now deleted from the external hard disk (which belongs to my friend). -
Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my apple ID?
The Mac App Store is not recognizing my apple ID. Please help.
It works on my iphone. It works for this forum. It works for itunes. It works for everything EXCEPT the Mac App Store, for which I've already used it to purchase apps that now need updating. It just keeps saying "an unknown error has occurred" Grrr...
-
It's a simple question but I cannot find an answer. I just know you can't. It makes no sense to not allow us to even purchase an update at a lower cost as opposed to repurchasing the app from the app store at the full cost. Can anyone say why this is the case? It makes me not want to ever use the app store.
I get that, but that's not the point. What I am saying is that the customer experience is poor. It should work the same as it used to when you bought software from a brick and mortar store.
When you buy an app (software) from a sellers website, you should be able to purchase an upgrade from any vendor. This means even though I bought an app like OmniPlan direct from the OmniGroup... It would be nice to purchase the upgrade, or even download the update from Apple's Mac App Store.
It just makes for a better customer experience. -
Why won't Mac App Store remember my password? + Other Issues
It's infuriating that whenever I want to: install something I've bought, buy something, or something else, it asks (yet again) for my pwd. Is there some way to tell this ******** app to forever remember my pwd?* Also, a few wks back (not longer after I'd finished a completely fresh install of OSX 10.8.5) all the apps in the "purchased" section had a little "x" next to them. Stupidly I pressed that x on one or more of them, & bizarrely the apps forever disappeared, what happened to those purchased apps of mine?
Also, in the purchased apps section it's claiming that a number of the apps are "installed", again it's ******** because I've not installed those apps on this new env! So, how do I get access to those apps via the Store? Also, GarageBand/iMovie/iPhoto they're all stock apps, right? Why when I search in Spotlight aren't they showing-up on my system volume? Instead they're only showing-up on my attached external HDD, which has a CCC backup of my prior env/install. of OSX. Same for 2 other non-stock purchased apps (Pocket/Trillian), they're showing-up in the CCC backup volume, so Mac Store thinks they're "installed". Three other purchased apps (Airmail/TweetDeck/Wunderlist) I was given the option to install or update (can't recall), so they're now in my new OSX env. Finally, why is it showing stock apps in the "purchased" section, I did not purchase those apps, they came with OSX, which came with my laptop!
Any help on one or all of these points would greatly appreciated, all the best!
*While we're at it, can the same thing be done for iTunes? It does the same kind of infuriating stuffIt's infuriating that whenever I want to: install something I've bought, buy something, or something else, it asks (yet again) for my pwd. Is there some way to tell this ******** app to forever remember my pwd?
Based on this over-the-top post, it's obvious that you would also be here badmouthing and blaming Apple when the app remembered your password and a friend or aquiantance bought content using your account. The password is your security that no one can hack your account, on your Mac or from someone else's Mac.* Only someone very shortsighted would want to hack the security. Your password is usually good for 15 minutes. During that time period you can make purchases without having to re-enter the password. When the clock has ticked down the password is required again.

You hid the apps, they can be unhidden.

1. The Mac App Store (MAS) can see it's apps on the external HDD because the MAS uses Spotlight to know what's installed on your Mac. So if you want to solve this issue, temporarily unmount the backup drives so the MAS doesn't see the installed apps.
2. The iLife apps are not "stock apps" they are a suite of apps that Apple is giving to you for free with the purchase of a new Mac. They are sold in the MAS. "Stock apps" are installed and updated with OS X, they are not sold in the MAS and do not appear on your Purchases list. The iLife apps are not stock apps, which is why they show up in your MAS Purchased list, otherwise you would never be able to update them.
3. You were obviously given the chance to "update" those 3 apps that were installed on your backup drives, which is why you now have the most recent version of them on your new Mac.
*iTunes and the Mac App Store use the same account. Both apps have the same password security protocol. -
Mac App Store not recognizing previously installed Apple applications
Mac App Store is not recognizing previously installed Apple applications (Aperture 3; iLife'11; iWorks'09) as already purchased and installed. These were installed either via download from the Apple Store or from install discs. Prior to the 10.6.7 update, at least some of these applications were recognized as already installed by the Mac App Store. This is no longer the case.
However, it now says that the software that came with my Mac Book Air (iLife) and other software must be re-purchased!
No, it doesn't say you must re-purchase them. You can continue to use those apps as they are. There is no requirement for you to re-purchase them. If you wish to have lifetime updates, you can purchase the version on the app store which will give you that. However, you still have the same license to use those bundled apps the same as everyone else.
This is wrong, at least for the Mac Book Air 2010 and forward purchases because of Mr Jobs announcement back in October.
What did he say that makes you think that?
No! Apple must make good on this. Why should Apple give me iLife with an MBA and tell me that I'm getting an App Store and then deny those software to be excluded from being "installed"? This is wrong.
No, you are wrong. You received the standard bundled apps that were bundled with every other Mac. The App store only reports on apps actually purchased from the app store (apparently correctly, now). Your bundled apps were not purchased from the Mac App Store. They were bundled with your Mac.
Apple reps (you guys here)
They are not, at least the ones you wish to talk to.
MUST escalate this issue for computers/software purchased from that October announcement and understanding.
Why? You didn't buy a "Mac App Store" bundle with your Mac. As I explained above, you received applications bundled with your Mac. They still work. You have not been cheated in any way.
