iTunes, how do I do a manual check for update

Hi all,

How do I make a manual check to see if there is an update waiting to be installed.

I have read that I have to load the iTunes page (from the app) which I have done.
I am advised that I should then click the Help button and select Check for updates.

Great, but when is the help button?

I cannot find it anywhere in my open iTunes panel/window.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards

 

Hi there.
I am sorry but I did not explain my self. What I really need is, how can I check to see what version of iTunes I have at the moment loaded onto my PC and how can I then update iTunes if need be.

Regards

 

Hi there.

Nope, I have looked everywhere on every panel that I found to open within iTunes. Nowhere did I find anything as to where I might find the version of iTunes that I am currently running let alone to check for updates. I read somewhere recently on this subject and it advised that I should click on "Help" and then click "Check for updates" whilst in the iTune site.

Well he is a better man than I am Gungedin! I can't even find the said Help button within the site.

Open iTunes on your computer then click the help button at the top left of the screen.

 

In the last version of (PC) iTunes I've seen, after you open iTunes but not going to the "store", their should be "file" "edit" "help" etc on the top left of the screen. You would click on help, on the bottom I believe you can select "check for update" or "about" I think to get your version.

 

Another thing, different iTunes versions can have different layouts so what you see and what I see may be different.

 

Hi.

Again nope.

If you are referring to File, Edit,History,Bookmark Tools and Help items located in the top left corner, these are not part of the iTunes display. These item belongs to the browser you are using, ie.Internet Explorer or Firefox, "Menu Bar". If I click the Help tag of this Menu bar, what I get relates only to the browser that I am using at the time.

When iTunes is loaded, there are no such tags or headings as described above.

In the iTunes Menu (just left of the File menu) choose About iTunes. The current version is at the beginning of the credits; which may take a few seconds to scroll into view.

You can check this against Apple's iTunes download page to see if you have the current version.
