iTunes 11 Check for Updates button not working

Same problem here as well. I posted my issue at MacRumors:

I am missing these buttons entirely... there is no "check for updates" or "get more apps"

Anyone else with this problem?

I think I might be on to something with my setup. I use Synergy to share my keyboard and mouse between my Windows PC and MacBook Pro. The keyboard and mouse are physically hooked up to the Windows 7 computer. Just out of curiousity I plugged in a USB mouse on my Mac and clicked the update button. Sure enough it took me to the list of apps available to update.

Apple must have changed the way they deyect mouse clicks on certain buttons within iTunes 11 it seems. I can click on that button all day with my mouse over Synergy and nothing hapens. I use a USB mouse and it works fine.

I saw a similar issue with clicking on URLs in the old Tweetie for Mac a long time ago.

I must be missing these same buttons since I also cannot find a way to update my applications.

To update Apps, Click on Library in upper right, then click and then it will say iTunes Store in upper right. Now look on the left side and you will have Music selected, click on Music on upper left side and then select Apps. The Check for updates button is on the bottom right.

I found the right page by clicking the "Music" dropdown top left.. select Apps and you get to a page that shows updates available. Seems to work fine.

I don't even have the apps button :/ just Music, Movies and Tv shows. Can anybody help me?

Thanks! I'd never have thought that synergy was the problem - using a locally-connected mouse to click the button was all that I needed to do. Thanks again!

Exact same issue, in that Check for Updates does nothing.

I do NOT have any keyboard sharing stuff, so that is NOT my solution.

Running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8. I manually sync my apps/songs/etc.

I atttempted to updates apps using ITunes. The "Check for Updates" at bottom left was non-responsive. I tried:

• Disconnecting the phone (2x), then reconnecting to iTunes

• Relaunching iTunes (2x)

• Reverting back to the previous version (ugh - don't try it)

Googling the problem lead me to many MacRumors and Apple forum threads.

Went to work, tried again tonight and success! The only thing I can attribute the sudden functionality of updating via iTunes is from REBOOTING my G5. BTW, I am using a wired mouse.

Feeling a little silly that I didn't try that earlier.

For some reason, I had the iTunes store disabled in my preferences (under Parental tab) After re-enabling the store, the Update / Get More Apps buttons were working again.

I am having this problem too, with no keyboard sharing involved. Have rebooted and restated itunes several times. Once, it went so far as to let me into the "updates available" page to see the 39 updates availalbe, but then was unresponsive, both to clicking the "update all" or to individual app update clicks.

I just did a Flash update last night, could that be related? Flash 11.7.700.169 - I just reinstalled that Flash version but the same thing. Would rather not have to mess around with downgrading Flash or other steps like that...

I'm having a similar problem except that my "check updates" button is not just non-responsive... it's gone completely. I have the 'get more apps' and that is it. I've rebooted, logged in and out of my account. Nothing. It's gone and I can't seem to get it back.

Note: not a figure of speech. The button simply is not there!

Ahh, heck. I found it. There is a whole tab devoted to it. Would that Apple enjoyed information exchange half as much as they do changing and crippeling things.
