Help! I upgraded my iphone to ios7 and now i can't connect my iphone to my 2008 Macbook because i don't have the most recent version of itunes! how can i fix this?

My current version of my computer is Mac OS X 10.5.8. can i upgrade my mac to other software versions to then get the new itunes? I know my computer may seem old, but as my husband and I both have full time jobs (in front of computers) we really don't use our home computer much. It still runs great and i do not want to buy a new $2,000 computer when i have a perfectly working one right now. Please help me find a solution to this. Thanks!

Possibly...
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

Opening since update to Firefox 6, always get the message that I don't have the most recent version - have removed and reinstalled, but still persists.

I recently updated my Firefox to version 6.0. When it re-opened after installation there was a message that I didn't have the most recent version. I ran the update set-up again but got the same message. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh download but it's still happening.
I've restarted the computer several times. It doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

My mac is telling me i have no software updates available, but i do! i don't have the most recent ios software and i cannot update itunes or sync my recently updated iphone without it. help!

i am currently on the osx 5.8 operating system. I just downloaded the new iphone 5 software and cannot sync it with my itunes on this computer because it doesn't have the most current version of itunes which i discovered i cannot download without an iosx oeprating system. I have run software update 10 times, started and restarted the computer and the program. help! what do i need to do to switch over to the ios-x operating system....or whatever the most current version is called. if i have to pay for it, that's fine. i have just been routed and rerouted through the apple store trying to figure it out. can someone help me please!

Hello,
There are two different things here, an OS update and a software update.
Mac OS X 10.5 is the version of OS while the .8 at the end is the software update (release patches)
The most current software update for Mac OS X 10.5 is 10.5.8
No more software updates available. You would need to upgrade the OS, which would be to Mac OS X 10.6
Your new iPhone 5 would require iTunes 10.6 which is only available for OS X version 10.6.8 or later.
Your would therefore need to upgrade your Macbook to this version of OS.
It maybe brought on DVD via Apple directly (Contact Apple ) or using any good online vendor like Amazon.
Best of luck

HT4623 I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2. My iphone is plugged into my lap top that has the most recent version of itunes. It is a dsl connection. Is that my problem?

Exactly what version of iTunes are you running? And DON'T say 'the latest version'... CHECK the version number. You need to be running 11.1 or higher.

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and now it won't launch

I have a PC with over 800 gb of space, most of which is unused, and am running Windows 7, and when I opened iTunes (which opened and worked just fine) I was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes and iCloud. Upon completion of the download, which indicated it was successful, I had to restart my computer. When I tried to launch iTunes this time, I got two error messages: "The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll" and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
Last summer I got to the point where I was unable to access iTunes at all and worked for weeks with Apple support to correct the issue to no avail. I had my computer in the shop and they were able to clean up a couple of corrupted files, and thereafter iTunes worked great.
I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes for fear I'll never get it back. Anybody have suggestions?
Thanks,
Littleredz24

P. S. Just got brave and uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it. Got the same error message: Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll
Now I can't get to iTunes at all. Help, please!

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Since downloading the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I open iTunes

Since installing the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I go in to iTunes. I sign in to my account, but when I re-open iTunes, as well as having to accept the terms and conditions before continuing, I find that iTunes has logged me out of my account. None of this has happened before. I am using a PC with Windows 8.

Trying to download gifts, Apples says I need to upgrade to the laster version of iTuens. I have the most current version of iTunes. What's up?

I have been trying to download gifts, Apples says I need to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. I have the most current version of iTunes. What's up? Is there a work around for this? Thanks!

The requirement shoul be on the box the iphone came in. they are also on the website
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)"

I updated to the most recent version of Itunes and I do not see iOS5. Where is it? Everything is the same, no difference.

I updated to the most recent version of Itunes and I do not see iOS5. Where is it? Everything is the same, no difference.

iTunes checks for updates approx. once a week. If you go to the Summary page for your Touch and look next to the" Check for Updates" button it lists the date that iTunes will perform the next check for updates. To check for an update before this date, click the "Check for Updates" button. If iTunes doesn't indicate that the iOS 5 update is available for your device then you're Touch is probably not supported by the new OS.

After I downloaded the most recent versions of itunes and quicktime I cannot play any videos, tutorials. Thank you for any help.

Videos will not play after downloading the mmost recent versions of Itunes and Quicktime. What can I do? The video tries to start but freezes and does not respond.

Appreciate the suggestion. I did the repair, but videos still don't play.
I tried putting quicktime in "safe mode", but that also did not solve the video-play problem.
However, I downloaded a video and that video does play.
A video may start but quickly freezes.
In itunes is the player "quicktime or itunes"?
When I open the quicktime player(its appearance doesn't look like a player with controls for play, pause, etc.).
Maybe the controls appear when play begins' however, then I try to open any song of video, I always get the same message: "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer(in itunes, I assume).)
If i choose "yes" I get an error message.
I thought this additional information might be helpful, but you can just answer the original question if you have some additional ideas.
Thanks for your help.
