    i have found the answer, firstly navigate to system-> administration-> software sources

    then go to update and at the bottom of the window their is an option to select what type of update you want. select -normal update- the close the window and reload.

    the problem should be fixed. -thank you for those who tried to answer it really helped.

  3. Do you have examples of such software? It might be software that has no 64-bit version, or it might not be available from the currently configured repositories (software sources) for another reason...

  4. Try reinstall Software Centre by the following command in Terminal:

    sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install software-center

    If this doesn't help, run software-center from the Terminal, you should see the errors, this should point you to the more specific issues.

  5. I didn't see the button too, I found that my proxy settings were not properly set. So if you are under a proxy,

    Get this file : https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxbi3rl2p9wmsx7/setproxy.py

    Then in terminal,type in-

    python setproxy.py <proxy ip><space><port><space><username><space><password>;

    Now check the software center for install button.
