I've noticed that if you check for updates and select items for update, then check again before the item is finished downloading that it will think you need the update again.

This can be a bit confusing until you realize what is going on.

With larger apps like Aurora this can happen fairly easily. Also if you have other downloads in progress and your apps are behind them in the queue.

Edit: Oh, and if you get yourself into a situation where the download finishes, the copy of the app in iTunes is the same version as the one in the store and so it will display a warning.

I've since started paying more attention to the downloads item in iTunes to watch to make sure my update started and finished downloading before syncing my iPod.

Hmm, strange. The reason I mentioned it was because iTunes told me to. After I updated to version 8, I noticed I had 7-8 application updates. The update all button was finally back, so I used it, but nothing happened. The second time it gave me some message that I already purchased or downloaded these before and blah blah, then a second window saying to go to store and check for purchases, which doesn't exist except for check for downloads.


Damn, iTunes 8 is still screwy. My iPhone showed I had two updates, Bloomberg and Aurora Feint. I go to iTunes instead, checked for updates, it says I have some, but it only shows Aurora Feint, yet the applications name on the left and the section say there are two updates. Why the hell is it not showing the Bloomberg update. Edit, I just left the apps update area, went back into it, now it shows it. Stupid thing, I hope it won't be as unreliable before where it never showed an app update, sometimes only until the app had a 2nd update.

I doubt the iTunes update is enough to fix the problem, the 2.1 update is coming on Friday.

FWIW, even though they said Friday, 2.1 was available yesterday.

Huh, I assumed or it seemed to appear that was for the iPod Touch only for now, and iPhone 2.1 was still Friday.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I have no idea about the iPhone.
