Hi, I am running 12.9.2.5. Interesting because I am also running the latest version of Mojave 10.14.3 that just came out recently. I would think that would have included the most recent version of iTunes. Hmmmm...
And I just now checked with Software Updates to see if there was anything to update and NO. See screenshot... hmmmm...
I know I sometimes see Safari listed as an update separate from say a full macOS update and I recall having seen the same in the past for iTunes (at least I think I've seen that). But it would appear 12.9.3 for the Mac side of the world isn't out yet??? But that might answer my question. You say you see that on your windows 10 version.
That would be a reasonable answer. I will wait and watch for a new version of iTunes...
Slightly off topic, I like to decide when to do updates. See on my screenshot below where I do NOT have the checkbox checked to automatically update the Mac. I've been updating Mac software since 1984, seriously. And it used to be a process that I was quite comfortable with. But in recent years, Apple has begun to toss some curves, especially with update progress bars that either don't move (don't "progress" for the longest time), start over, or worst of all, back up. And sometimes the computer restarts more than once during a single upgrade... But by far the scariest thing I've encountered and it's happened more than once, is, in the middle of an upgrade, for the computer to shutdown and just sit there, for the longest time... Sits there... Sits there... a good minute and likely more... I finally get too antsy and press the "start" key.... AND IT STARTS!!!!!! And goes on with the update. Like I was supposed to know that I needed to intervene??? Nothing but my own anxiety suggested that... My guess is it would have eventually restarted on its own but I don't know... Again, I've had that experience at least twice. Once is an event. Two is a trend... And I ALWAYS clone my entire drive and usually do an update first on an older MacBook Pro. Still sometimes scary these days though... OK, enough of my whine about "progress bars" and updates.
But it's that same reticence these days (about doing any kind of updates) that prompted me to ask about this disconnect between the iTunes message and what is actually contained in the current version of the iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for your help.
