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.

I just bought an iPhone 5, and tried to sync it to my iTunes account but when connected it says: “...cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later.” However when I try to get iTunes to update it says: “This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version.” Can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference. -
I cant' sync my ipod because it says"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. I can't download it because my MAC is version 10.5.8 and it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Any suggestions?
If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

IPod Touch iOS6 cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.
Hi, just now I've updated my iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 and I backed it up on iTunes before. Now I want to restore that backup but when I plug it onto my iMac (running OS X 10.5.8), iTunes pops up a message that says: "The iPod "Trang's iPod touch" cannot be used be because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". My iTunes right now is iTunes 10.6 (40) if that helps. I pressed iTunes > Check for Updates... then it says that I have the current version! I did the same with apple logo > Software Update, and nothing new. I then went on itunes.com and the newest version is 10.7, except I don't want to risk to download it and lose all my music files again, and it's not even compatible with my iMac!
Like said, my version cannot sync over wi-fi because iCloud also isn't compatible with Leopard. What do I do? Do I HAVE to buy an update for Snow Leopard then be able to sync my iPod? They don't even sell physical copies in stores anymore.. now I'm stuck with a clean state iOS 6 iPod. If I knew, I wouldn't have updated it. Is there any way to go back?
RegardsI'm having a similar problem, but moved on a few versions. I've been given an iPod nano, but when I try to add music to it I get an error message saying, "The iPod “iPod” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later" and inviting me to download the latest version. However, I'm using iOS 10.5.8, and the computer can't update to a newer version. That, in turn, limits me to versions of iTunes no later than 10.6.3.
Is there a way to make the new iPod connect to my still very much functional but not new Macbook? All help gratefully received! -
I'm getting this message "The iPod “Sage’s iPod Touch” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. " But cannot update iTunes because my OS is 10.5.8. How do I use my iPod with my iTunes?
Solved. Not sure what I finally clicked on on Apple.com but found iTunes 10.6.3 and was able to download that for free and now my iPod can sync.

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. -
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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Any reason why you have not updated to OS X 10.6.8? If you did, you could then run iTunes 11.0.1. -
I'm getting an error message saying iPhone 4S cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. I've checked
Download itunes 11.1 from
www.apple.com/itunes/download/
from Safari. Not Google Chrome! It only offers 11.0.5 in google chrome. I had the same problem and fixed it by downloading the newest itunes (11.1) from Safari. -
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.

Cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.
I updated my phone and now when I try and update my podcasts, etc I get this message:
The iPhone “John Mott’s 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.
When I try and update iTunes it tells me I'm up to date.
How do I fix it?
Why did I update? I use Apple because MS always does this. C'mon already!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.

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. -
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.
Follow this if you're using XP: support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Follow this if you're using VISTA/7: support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Follow this if you are using a MAC 10.5.8 or later: support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 -

IPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes 10.0 or later on Tiger
I just purchased a new iPod touch for a friend and she is getting the following error from iTunes when she connects the iPod to her MBP:
"The iPod "iPod" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.0 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes"
She has an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Quicktime Player 7.6.4.
Is she able to sync the iPod and iTunes on her Mac running Tiger? And if not, is there an alternative that will allow her to sync?
EDIT: Software update says everything is up-to-date.
Thanks!
Message was edited by: HighwayShe needs to upgrade to Leopard.
As per Apple's website:
Mac requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10 or later
