Hello.

I noticed there is a newer iTunes at v11.3, but for some reason my Mac
OS X 10.8.5's AppStore v1.2.2 (129.16) does not see it. However, iTunes
v11.2.2 (64-bit; 3) detected an update and offered me to get it (went to
App Store which doesn't see it)? What's up?

My Mac OS X 10.7.5 and 10.9.4 machines did not have this problem. Did
anyone else run into this especially in 10.8.5?

Thank you in advance. :)

I don't know, but I'm at iTunes 11.2.1, and the App Store hasn't done
anything about that since 11.2.2 was released. I'm on OS 10.9.3. I
don't use iTunes, so I don't know if it'd detect an update. Prior to
11.2.1, the App Store did function correctly.

App Store is showing the iTunes 11.3 update for me in 10.8.5 and 10.9.4.
Software Update is showing the same iTunes version in 10.6.8 and 10.7.5.

If you can't see it, the most likely explanations are:

(a) The update hasn't arrived yet at the particular Akamai distributed
server node that your 10.8.5 machine happens to be referencing (perhaps
a different node from the other computers due to different DNS settings
on that computer, or it is on a different Internet connection?) It can
take several hours for some parts of the distributed server network to
catch up with available software updates from Apple.

(b) You might have (deliberately or accidentally) told App Store to hide
iTunes updates. Have a look in the "Store" menu in App Store: if there
is a "Show All Software Updates..." command at the bottom, then choose
that, and App Store will recheck for available updates.
