I have imported a cd into itunes on my laptop, when I plug my iphone 4s in it comes up with the error message "the iphone cannot be used because it requires itunes version 11.1 or later. Go to itunes to download the latest version, which I can't do???
This is getting so frustrating, I last synced my iphone in september and it worked fine, as i've just imported a new cd I wanted to sync to get it on my phone - anybody help to get a more uptodate software on my iphone, please
iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.

IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later
I have a user who is trying to use her iPhone 3 with her MacBook Pro. She is running Lion and has the latest version of iTunes installed (version 11.0 or whatever the new one is). When she plugs her phone into her computer a message pops up on her computer screen:
"The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
We have ensure that all the software on her computer is up to date and this still keeps popping up. Please help!
Thanks!Restart the Mac and try again.
You can always re download iTunes here > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
No need to uninstall the currently installed copy of iTunes before doing so.
The latest version of iTunes available is v11.0.4
With iTunes open, from the menu bar click iTunes > About iTunes
That will tell you the currently installled version. -
After downloading the new IOS 6 update for my iphone 4, my phone will not connect to my itunes on my laptop and a message pops up and states: "The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". I can't find the 10.6.3 itunes anywhere to download and I cannot download the 10.7 version because my Mac is the 10.5.8 version. What can I do? I do not want to pay for an update for my computer- I wish I had never updated my phone in the first place so I wouldn't have this problem.
I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
These are the error messages in order.
1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
Thanks so much in advance. -
My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!
If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

The iPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone
You must be referring to OS X 10.6.4, because there is no iTunes version 10.6.4. You can download iTunes 10.6.3 here:

Any reason why you have not updated to OS X 10.6.8? If you did, you could then run iTunes 11.0.1. -
when i connect my phone to itunes it saysThe iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later and i just downloaded the latest version
Julie, there seems to be some snafu with the updater, so go here https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575 and get the download directly. That should do the trick.

When connecting my iPhone I get the following message "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. What does this mean? My computer has 10.4.
That's an issue with your system. Try removing the iTunes and the other APPLE software related from your system and reinstall it again.

The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
I just purchased the iphone 4S and want to connect to itunes to move my backup onto the new phone but when I plug the new one in it says - The iPhone "iphone" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 10.5 or later. The iphone 4S has the latest everthing??? Why am I not able to connect to itunes?
My MAC is app. 2yrs old.You need to update your version of iTunes. Ios5 is only supported by iTunes 10.5 meaning, an older version of iTunes is not compatible. You can download the newest version free via iTunes or apple .com but I would recommend going to the top left cornner of you screen, click the apple and choose "software update". iTunes 10.5 was an update that came out earlier this week and by doing this you can see if any thing else needs updating and it will do it automatically.

Hi, Mommacat26.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This usually means that a required component is missing. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.
