drpewpew Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 hi iTunes (8) is telling me a new version is available (9) but software update says I am up to date... anyone know why this might be happening? Could it be because the server has worked out i am on a hackintosh?

digital_dreamer Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Heh. I just had the same incident occur this evening. I think there'a bug in SU or iTunes. I have v9.0, but there's, indeed, a later version available. I'll just download it manually from Apple's site.

Hello, you have to go to Library/Receipts/booms and delete this file --> com.apple.pkg.iTunes.bom then try the software update and there will be the update of Itunes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192831-itunes-8-is-telling-me-new-version-available-9-but-software-update-says-i-am-up-to-date/#findComment-1303541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpewpew Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies folks. FYI i just did as digital dreamer did and downloaded it from the apple website and all is working fine. By the way, one interesting thing i did note was that when i looked at the list of software installed on my mac itunes did not show up (even though it WAS actually installed).
