iTunes 12.0.1 unable to update

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

See below the image of my iTunes version after all the updates

I would not re-install everything just now and see if there is a new update coming out.

Im downloading from the UK, but I would assume the link is still coming from he same location since it's just Apple.com

I've just went there again, and you can see below... its there for me!

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:

Try going into Finder/Applications then right click on iTunes and show package contents. Then go into Contents/MacOS. There, double click on the iTunes exec file (black icon). That should open it.

Hope this helps!

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...

I am having the same problem. I installed Yosemite yesterday and now iTunes will not open. I have tried to re-install iTuns manually with no success.

System Settings:

OS X Yosemite v. 10.10

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)

Processor 2.4 GHz Inter Core i5

Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Tap iTunes icon..does nothing ,it just does't work

have downloaded it twice from App store.

Have the new Yosemite on My" 27 inch mac Late 2009"

it is a no go for iTunes?

What up with this?

Everything else I have works fine?

Tried and tried no iTunes?

The same problem also for me with Yosemite and iTunes 12.0.1 on My iMac 21" late 2009.

If I double-click on the iTunes icon it does nothing; I can run it only if I right-click on iTunes, select "show package contents" and run the iTunes executable in Contents/MacOS.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thanks Gabriele.

Have a call in at apple support ! .( SUNDAY ) will have to pay? Don't you know and it's there program we are having trouble with , thanks Apple? still Love ya!

Will let you know what they tell us tomorrow ! (on post) hang in there!!!!!!!

or

May have to take it in to an apple store? hope not ..! more pay!!!

What is this right click ? on an icon?

my icon on the Mac will not right click ?

IS THERE SOME PLACE YOU ARE RIGHT CLICKING ?

The icon you have to right-click is the iTunes icon in the Applications directory. Right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock doesn't work the same way.

@danielgaskins: I also tried the manual download, but it didn't work anyway.

Gabriele,

I have the answer....phone call to apple is off;;

I had to blow the entire drive away, re-install from a clone drive, then make a bootable USB drive of Yosmite, and then do a clean install with migration assistant. after 2 days it all now works!! omg, WORST INSTALL PROCESS EVER !!

Thanks Mr.Gordonian. Your suggestion fixed my iTunes update problem as well. I tried update about 5 times. Each time update added it to the list of recent updates but, still nagged to update again. Downloading it from Apple's iTunes page installed correctly and the nag went away.
