iTunes 12.0.1 unable to update

Just updated to Yosemite. but iTunes was unable to install iTunes 12.0.1

The App store updates kept telling me 1 update available. I have already downloaded 4 times, as you can see from the install history.

What's going on? Anyone got the same problem?

I've got the same problem, after updating to Yosemite I tried to update iTunes to 12.0.1, did it several times but still got iTunes 12.0.0.140... The App Store icon shows 1 update to be installed but every times I try it stops downloading and moves under "Updates installed in the last 30 days" tab... See the image below

Guys who have this problem with iTunes, this error might be from Apple, and the app doesn't update automatically, so it is necessary to do it manually.


First, go to this link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/,then open and do exactly that the installer says, and your done. Open your iTunes and check the version, and it might show v12.0.1.26, that means that it is updated.


My method had worked, trust me. This is how it ended:

I'm having the same problem. In App Store I click the Update button next to iTunes 12.0.1 and it starts downloading. When it gets to just over 55Mb is goes back to the Update button. If I click it again, it says Installed but it isn't. Restart App Store and the Update button shows again.


I went to the iTunes download page as MrGordonian suggested, downloaded and installed it and it works fine.


Thanks MrGordonian.

So I've done the manual download but I still have the issue with tracks that never jumped or skipped before still jumping and skipping. Has anyone else got the same issue? I've checked all the performance stuff and it isn't that I'm running out of space, everything else seems to be working fine as well, it's just iTunes that's going slow...
