in Apple's recent update to iTunes they've made some changes to the way that apps get updated I'm Donald Bell and in today's how-to I'm gonna show you the new way to update apps and iTunes as well as a few tricks for updating just the apps you care about and when you open up iTunes 11 point 0.3 or later click on the apps tab on the side and you'll notice that the button for updating your apps has disappeared from the bottom bar you also get these lovely ribbons on all of your outdated apps as a gentle reminder that an update is overdue so how do you start the process well up here above the app icons you'll notice that the categories have changed to include a category called updates click this and you'll see a selection of just the apps that had update ribbons on the previous screen you also notice that the update all button has finally returned down here at the bottom but before you tap it if you're dealing with dozens of updates like me you may want to just selectively update only the apps you care about to do this you can click on any of the apps read the details about the current update and then tap the individual download button if you think the update is worthwhile to download a small group of apps select them with your cursor or click on a few while holding down the shift key then right click and you'll see an update option for just the selected apps that's all there is to it for more tips like this head over to how to cnet.com you can also find more from me over on twitter cnet.com i'm donald bells
