HT3606 How to update iTune of my Mac 10.5.8 ?

(The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.) This shows up and cannot open iTune anymore. Why? What shall I do?

Is there a story behind this such as you have just reinstalled the operating system on your computer?  If you did that, download the newest iTunes from Apple's web site (do not use Software Update) and install it.

    Why wouldn't Apple warn its consumers before letting them download an update on the iphone that can't be used with their itunes??? It's infuriating!!!!!

    I believe you can get to OS X 10.6.8 on your Mac.  Here's how to purchase it:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You would have to purchase Snow Leopard, then do all its software updating to get to OS X 10.6.8.  At that point, your OS X version would be almost three years behind current (which is 10.8.5).
    I disagree with your assertion that Apple does not publicize which version of iTunes is required for a specific version of iOS.

  • How to  update iTunes - installation failed. iTunes 10.6 to 10.7 or 11

    How to  update iTunes - it goes through the verification process and then gives the error " installation failed". With no error codes. My Macbook Pro is running Lion 10.7.5 and I have iTunes 10.6 and need to upgrade  to 10.7 or 11. My iphone can't be used until I update iTunes

    I downloaded iTunes 10.7 and 11 from the sight and went throught the installation process on both versions and still get the "installation failed" error message at the very end.  I tried to delete iTunes from the Library after several attempts to just reinstall and got the same thing. If I try to install from the software update under the apple top left, it goes throught the whole process and gives me the "no updates were installed due to an error, contact your manufacturer".  I am running Lion 10.7.5 on my Macbook Pro. Nothing seems to work.  My iTunes works fine  but in order to get the media off of my iphone 4 running ios 6 I have to have iTunes 10.7 or later which I can't install.  Totally frustrated.

  • Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

    I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with  Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
    I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
    However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
    It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
    I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    same problem here 
    This solution work fine with me :
    1. Systems Preferences -> Network
    2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
    3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
    4. Click OK, then click Apply.
    5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.

  • When updating iTunes on my MAC, I get the error code (-42408)

    When I try to open iTunes on my MAC it states I need to update. After updating, it closes and when I open again, I get the same updates. When I choose to not update, I get the error code (-42408). What can I do now?

    What is your iTunes version? The error message indicates missing ressources or software conflicts.
    Did you try to downgrade from iTunes version '11 to '10?

  • I can't see how to update itunes match.!

  • HT4623 how to update itunes version on iphone5?

    I recently updated the OS in my iphone5 to 6.1.4.
    So now when i tried to transfer music from my macbook pro to iphone5, it said iphone should have itunes version of 10.7.1 or higher for the sync.
    When i tried to update itunes software, by checking if any software updates are available, there were none.
    Also, when i tried to updated the itunes from apple website, i could not?

    You can't update iTunes on your Phone separately to the iOs.  The iTunes its referring to, is the iTunes on your Mac, that's the one that needs to be itunes 10.7.1 or higher.
    Go to itunes.apple.com to get the newest version.  However as was said you'll also need to update Mac's Operating system.

  • My iPhone 4 will not update. iTunes and my Mac is up to date.

    I cannot get my iPhone to update. Everytime I hook it up to iTunes, it says that version 4.2.10 is the current version. I have the 10.4.1 version of iTunes and my Mac is 10.6.8. It still recognizes it and syncs just fine.

    It's not a matter of Verizon catching up on the updates. The CDMA (Verizon) iPhone and the GSM (everyone else) iPhone use different chipsets. iOS should be brought up to speed when both are unified with iOS 5 this fall.
