iTunes 11.4 not showing in Mac App Store Updates

iTunes says I have an update, but when I hit Download it opens the App Store, which checks for updates then says I have none. Also the version on the iTunes website is still 11.3.1. Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 16GB 256SSD

I've uploaded 11.3.1 here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/**44bb0te62b7p4/iTunes11.3.1.dmg


You will probably have to delete your current install first, which is tricky but here's how:


1. Launch the Terminal, located in /Applications/Utilities/


2. Type the following at the command line to change to the Applications directory: cd /Applications/


3. Then to delete iTunes: sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/


If this doesn't work you will of course need to reinstall iTunes 11.4. Good luck!

Thanks, Yarrow, that helped.

...which is to be expected, so I cracked open the installer with Pacifict and replaced each of the components as well before reinstalling. Worked like a charm.
