iTunes 12.5 & macOS Recovery HD Update 1.0

[iBighouse]

Since installing the Sierra public beta I've had a notification of two items that want to download and update, but they won't do either. Just sits there and does nothing.

Is this some kind of a queue item in a folder that I can just hunt down and delete?

Same problem...im running PB1 on unsupported 5,1

PB1? Oh...Public Beta 1. Same here. I'm running it on a iMac15,1 - not sure what "unsupported" means?

I had to use a working around from another forum member @dosdude1 to get it to run. Its a Mid 2009 MB. Didn't know if that is why I can't get it to download.

I've got the same thing on a 2014 rMBP

Many people have had a similar problem.

Problem has already been solved in apple's developer forums at

Well, I ran all six of the updates manually and they all installed. HOWEVER, after rebooting I still have the two listed as UPDATES in the app store list and they're both still at 0% calculating.

What next?

Have you opened itunes? Is it version 12.5? If so then it is already updated.

There is obviously something wrong with the mac app store. But this is a beta, so bugs are to be expected. I just hope apple don't release an update to the faulty mac app store via the mac app store!

… What next?

What's output from the following command?

sudo softwareupdate -l

Use Disk Utility to verify all volumes. Do HFS Plus volumes appear to be OK?

Then boot in safe mode, then normal mode.

I trashed some folders inside of /Library/Updates and that took care of the items on the update list...but it also removed all of my prior update records. I don't think that's such a big deal though so I'm ok now.

I reinstalled PB1 on top of PB1 and after that the updates installed from the App Store successfully

Anyone notice that iTunes 12.5 is auto-opening when an iOS device is plugged in? I can't find the setting that disables this.

Try removing the iTunes Helper app from login items.

i've noticed the new iTunes doesn't minimize unless you go to "hide iTunes", you cannot click the minimize button, it just pops back up on Sierra Public Beta.
