Can't open Itunes. Update states system not compatible with leopard 10.5.8

I was trying to sync music to my Iphone through my Computer, Mac 0S X Leopard version 10.5.8.  Couldn't open iTunes.  There was a update for iTunes and I downloaded it but before it could be loaded to my computer, it said my operating system needed to be 10.6.8.   Where and what should I be looking for to update iTunes on my computer?

Greg,
If you can update your computer to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that would be the smartest thing to do. Otherwise you can restore an earlier version of iTunes from your Time Machine backup. You can purchase Snow Leopard from Apple's online store for $20 and then use the 10.6.8 Combo Update to get the most up-to-date version of SL. You can find that download at:

Before doing ANY update make sure you have have backed up your system using Time Machine or create a bootable clone onto an external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Itunes update 10.7 not compatible with OS X 10.4.11

    I wanted to update my iTunes to 10.7 so it would be compatible with my iPhone but it requires OS X 10.6.8 or later and i have OS X 10.4.11. Do i need to update my software if so how do i do that?

    At least to 10.6.8.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
      2. 1GB of memory
      3. 5GB of available disk space

    Upgrading to Lion
    First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:

      4. 7GB of available space
      5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:

  • Updated Firefox is not compatible with my low vision software - Zoomtext. How can I get Firefox to stop asking me to upgrade!!

    Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.

    Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
    see for more info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel#w_update-tab Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab]
    BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive '''critical security updates that may keep you safe online''' unless you frequently do a '''manual check for updates'''.

    Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
    Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
    You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.

  • How can I download itunes 10.6.3, as itunes 10.7 is not compatible with my macbook?

    I upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS X 6. It will not connect to my itunes now because it requires itunes 10.6.3. The latest version of itunes is 10.7 but this is not compatible with my macbook, when I download 10.7 it says that i need to have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or better, which i don't and I think i have to pay to upgrade. Is there still a way that i can download the earlier version of itunes which is 10.6.3?

  • My mac OS X is version 10.5.8 and I have ilife '11 and if I try to open it "iLife '11 is not compatible with your version of mac OS X" "it requires 10.6.3 or Later" What should I do?

    My mac OS X is version 10.5.8 and I have bought  iLife '11 and if I try to open/install it says "iLife '11 is not compatible with your version of mac OS X" and
    "it requires 10.6.3 or Later"
    What should I do?

    Buy a Snow Leopard 10.6 retail disk and upgrade? $29.
    Or call iTunes, tell them what happened, and ask if it would be at all possible for them to issue you a refund & reverse the sale.

  • ITunes 7 shared music not compatible with previous versions

    I installed iTunes 7 on my PC and have iTunes 6.0.5 on my Mac. From my Mac, my iTunes shared library on the PC is greyed out. When I select the shared library, I receive the following message:
    "The shared music library ... is not compatible with this version of iTunes."
    However, iTunes 7 on my PC can see and play sounds from the shared iTunes 6.0.5 library.
    1.42GHZ Mac mini, Sony RX-500E, 2Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I find this same situation and it would be nice if the two were compatible. I don't want to buy another computer just to play music from a shared library but I like the new iTunes for other reasons. I bet that's what Apple wants me to do though.
    I am unsure why the two are not compatible because .mp3 and .aac files can be played in both versions and the files are unchanged. It would be nice if they would give an option for backwards compatibility but why would they spend the money to keep customers happy?
    Sorry for the cynicism.

  • Device Central CS3 NOT compatible with Leopard

    I just upgraded to OS X Leopard and Device Central CS3 is no
    longer usable. OS X says it is "not supported on this
    architecture," as if the machine was PowerPC (it is an Intel
    MacBook Pro). All the Adobe support docs says DC is compatible so I
    don't know how to resolve this situation.

    CS3 device central is fully compatible with Leopard ...for me its running fine

  • Can't open iTunes, CoreGraphics.dll was not found, Error 7

    For some reason, I suddenly could not open iTunes. I get the message " This application has failed to start because CoreGraphics.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
    I also get the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7".
    iTunes worked fine until just one minute it didn't work any more. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it many times, and I get nothing. Can anybody help, please?

    One of your Apple Application Support dlls has gotten damaged or gone walkabout, Martha. For some more information on the relationship between Apple Application Support and iTunes see the second part of this user tip:
    [iTunes for Windows, QuickTime, and Apple Application Support|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2355263]
    A couple of questions before proceeding.
    Do you have a 32 bit or 64-bit version of Vista?
    Do you currently have a Safari for Windows *version 4.0.5* installed? (That uses a higher version of AAS than the one in the current iTunes (9.0.3.15) installers, and I don't want to stuff up your Safari in the course of trying to get your iTunes fixed.)

  • Sonos Wireless Music System not compatible with iTunes music!

    Just purchased this $1,700 Sonos system so I can listen to my iTunes library throughout the house w/o spending $10,000 on a audio/visual professional!!! Anyone have any idea how to make these two systems compatible? I feel like someone just caved my chest in with a sledgehammer.
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    iTunes works fine with it.
    Songs purchased from the iTunes Music store will not work as they are DRM protected and the SONOS does not decode the Fairplay DRM used.
    You can burn the songs to CD and reimport them and they will work fine.
    I feel like someone just caved my chest in with a sledgehammer.
    I’m wondering why you would spend $1700 without doing a little research...

  • I can no longer connect to work (SConnect not compatible) with Gemalto key, how to fix this?

    Before the Firefox upgrade 4 and then 5 I could access my work email using a gemalto key. Now I cannot it says the SConnect not compatible. I need to fix this or leave Firefox so I can access work from home.

    What are you using for the SMTP settings?
    What I have that is working is:
    Port 465
    SSL/TLS
    Normal Password
    Check your firewall and make sure it is not blocking Thunderbird.
    Connecting with web mail just verifies that you know your username and password. Web mail and SMTP are completely different servers and operations.

  • I can't install Cooliris as it is not compatible with firefox 12?

    Hi, i used to use the brilliant Internet Add-on "Cooliris" but it seems that firefox has been uprgraded and it is no longer compatible with Cooliris and i'm unable to use the program. Is it possible for Firefox to update this so that people are still able to use this application?
    It's a shame that i can no longer use "Cooliris", i'd be greatful if this could be altered.
    Best regards.

    hello, firefox cannot update the addon compatibility - you'd have to contact the developers of the extension directly, since only they can make changes in the code of their program: [https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/user/9873/]
