Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (if you don't already have it -- OS 10.6), but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing, or if you already have some lower 10.6 version, run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

    If you have an Apple store nearby you can make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

    You can also try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • I have a new iPhone 6 and want to use my exisiting downloaded ringtone, how do I do this without paying for the tone again?

    How do I use an existing purchased ringtone on my new iPhone 6 without having to pay for it again?

    Do you have a copy of it anywhere e.g. in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library ? If you do then you can sync it to your phone from there.
    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, if you redownload it then you will be charged for doing so.

    Please do not use the post title to post the entire question (no offense, it just makes the forum look ugly). As for your question - you really did install it? I mean with serial and install disc? If so, the update would work, because it would find the proper install info. That not being the case, there are a few things that may be wrong:
    - due to you language settings, the installer cannot find the folder because it has a different name (though on Vista, that shouldn't be an issue)
    - at some point, you used the CS4 Clean Utility/ Script to remove install info
    - you are using a pirated copy that you may have bought on eBay or elsewhere that has a modified installer to circumvent licensing
    - you are using an unlicensed version a "friend" gave you and that never was installed, but merely copied to the harddrive
    That pretty much covers the immediate options, now it's up to you to tell us, which one may apply. Assuming, we are talking about perfectly legit software, re-installing it from the original media should take care of the problem. For illegal software, you should understand, that you are utterly on your own and nobody will help you, much less on the forums of the company producing the software.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

    JPPI-
    Did you try it with the iTunes your Mac already has?
    Try running Software Update in your System Preferences.  That should bring your computer up to the latest software available for 10.4.  You would end up with an older version of iTunes, but that may be good enough to activate your iPad.

  • I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

    I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If neither of the above work then you could also try deleting the app and re-installing it - as long as the books are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    What version of Windows are you using? This is not a problem with iTunes. It may have to do with an issue of the compatibility of a newer version of iTunes with an older Windows system/older hardware.
    What do you want to synchronize? If you were previously using iCloud you should be able to restore most of your oringinal content onto your new phone via was was last synched with the iCloud on your previous phone/device.

    I have an iPod mini, 6 GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it still work? Don't want to try and break iPod.

    Do you mean that the iPod mini won't fit on the "dock" because of shape (of the iPod), or is the docking connection a different type from the "30-pin" dock connector on the iPod mini?

    Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.

    http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
    Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
    It works now BUT there are still problems.  It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn.  Looking still for this fix.
