My iMac won't support the latest version of iTunes which I need in order to add apps to my new iPhone5
I recently purchased an iPhone5. When I tried to sync it using my iMac with Lion, I was told to upgrade my iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes which my iMac will support but that won't work to sync my iPhone. Are there other ways to sync my iphone?
Thanks for any ideas/hellp.
You're Tag says you are running Leopard 10.5.8
If this is correct... Read on...
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

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...

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

I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.
Did you already have a look at this article?

I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?
Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,

Also, the "burn playlist to disc" command has disappeared from the File options. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that only restored tracks I'd bought from the iTunes store. I also tried setting up another logon.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

iphone 3g not working because of uncompatible update, what should i do?
There is no way to update a 3G to iOS 4.3.x using approved Apple procedures (meaning using iTunes), so presumably you used a non-approved procedure to do it. You may now have an iBrick, but you can try to restore it to a supported version using iTunes and DFU mode. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If this fails there may still be a way, but you won't find it in this forum. You need to try some iPhone hacking sites.

WHERE IS THE RESTORE KEY ON THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES? I NEED TO RESTORE MY IPAD AND CANT FIND IT

What version of iPhoto are you trying to update from? You need iPhoto 9.2.2 or later and OS X 10.7.5 to use "My Photo Stream".
Your Macbook, model 7,1, will run Mavericks which is a free upgrade. If you currently have iPhoto 9 then the upgrade to the iPhot0 9.5 from the App Store will be free.
If you currently are running iPhoto 8 (09) then you'll need to purchase a copy of the iLIfe 11 disk from an online retailer and install iPhoto 9. Then, if you've upgraded to Mavericks you can upgrade free to 9.5.
If you keep OS X 10.7.5 you'll still need a copy of the iLIve 11 disk to install iPhoto 9.0 and then update it to iPhoto 9.4.3 thru the updaters available here: Apple - Support - Downloads

Hi, I was installing the latest version of itunes, which wasn't completed
I am now getting the message that itunes can't be accessed owing to MSVCR80.dll not being installed and advising me to re-install this. Can anyone help?
Thanks

1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80. -
This article seems to be based off of an older version of iTunes. With iTunes 11 I have no left side column. The screen shot is not what is on my computer with the latest version of iTunes. I need help putting music and pictures on my new iPad from iTunes, the new iPad and latest version of iTunes. Thank you.
On iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - it should then look similar to that article.

Syncing photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Note that synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you need to include all the photos that you want on the iPad from your computer in each photo sync. -

Why won't the latest version of iTunes run? I've downloaded it twice. Come to that, why isn't iTunes an option in the product list on this site? Apple did make that, didn't they?

When trying to download the latest version of iTunes, I receive the following error "Apple Application Support was not found", any suggestions?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

I have an iMac 7.1 purchased in 2007 which currently has OS X 10.5.8. Until 6 months ago it happily synched with my iPad3. Now it doesnt because I do not have the latest version of iTunes and that will not download because it is not supported by the OS which says there are no software updates. Any ideas of what I can do.
