thats all?
did you pressed ‘Y’ here?
are you now up to to date?
If I hit the Enter key, it says,
:Replace atk with extra/at-spi2-core? [Y/n]?
This is what happened this morning when I ran the original command. It kept asking me to replace files, dozens one after another.
Should I just keep answering Yes to each?
yes do that…

Oh no.
I answered y, but apparently it wanted an uppercase Y.
Should I start over?
::INFO Mirror list generated and saved to: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
:: Replace atk with extra/at-spi2-core? [Y/n] y
warning: binutils: ignoring package upgrade (2.35-2 => 2.40-2)
:: Replace crda with core/wireless-regdb? [Y/n]
This is because certain packages were reorganized since your last update. Some were replaced by better alternatives — e.g. packages that had become discontinued — while others were split or perhaps grouped together, changed from extra to community, and so on.
It looks like atk was skipped because the Y wasn’t capitalized. The package upgrade was ignored. Should I start this over or keep going
You probably have a couple of IgnorePkg entries in your /etc/pacman.conf. That’s dangerous.
So quit and start the pacman command all over again?
when was the last time you updated?
post output from:
cat /etc/pacman.conf
to check the ignored packages… then we rerun the update again…
and it doesnt matter if its capital Y or not
First check your /etc/pacman.conf and remove the IgnorePkg entries. You can just put a “#” in front of them to turn them into mere comments.
You can edit the file with nano. 
nano /etc/pacman.conf
Edit out or comment out the IgnorePkg entries, save the file with Ctrl+O followed by Enter, and exit the editor with Ctrl+X.
Then run pacman anew.

# Repository entries are of the format:

# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Mod note: edited your post for proper terminal output formatting
Not sure why its bolding some of it. Didn’t look that way on the screen
looks like binutils is the only one. OK will comment & re-run
do what Aragorn suggests, edit this line:
IgnorePkg = binutils
to look like this:
#IgnorePkg = binutils
save it and rerun the update again:
pacman -Syyu
you dont need to refreshe mirrors again…

When pasting terminal output into your post, you should type three backticks (```) on an empty line above and below the terminal output.

Alright answering yes for everything even if its [y/N] or [Y/n].
