Can't update Itunes.  Need OS help.

I am having issues updating Itunes to be able to sync my Ipod mini.  It says I need a newer version of itunes, but I can't get the newer version without 10.6.8.  I can't get 10.6.8 without 10.6.  I can't figure out where to get 10.6.  What do I need to download and how do I get it done?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Steve is correct but
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:

  • Can't Update itunes?? HELP!!

    Every time I go to install the latest version of itunes on my computer, it will start downloading and then it will says, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." and it gives me the option to trying again or browse to find an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' but I can't find anythin on my computer that will work. So I tried to first uninstall itunes and then go back to install the latest version and it then it still gives me the same message :/ I don't know what to do, please help!
    Thank you!

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Requirements for iPhone 5:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later
    The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

    The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way.  Hmmm....
    I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

  • HT5191 i can't update iTunes 10.6.1

    i can't update iTunes. i got this message: The file “iTunesXPatch.pkg” couldn’t be found on the server “swcdn.apple.com”.
    what should i do?

    I was prompted to the newest version 10.6.1, downloaded it and then my computer crashed.  Now I have a corrupted version of 10.6.1 and the website only lists the 10.6.dmg to be downloaded.
    I can't run any version of iTunes until I can download the 10.6.1.dmg.  Any idea where I can find it?

  • I can't update itunes to 11.0.4 on windows 7

    I can't update itunes to 11.0.4.
    When I try to update a message pops up saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". The same thing happened with the last update. I had to uninstall and download the new version.
    Every other update has worked on this laptop until then. I've just updated itunes on the other two laptops without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    I've tried again but it's still not working. This time a message appears saying iTunes64.msi file not found. Check the file name and try again.

  • Can't update iTunes

    Every time I try to install iTunes 10.5 on my macbook pro, it gets almost to the end (blue progress bar moving along then stays at about 90% for a couple of minutes), then my entire computer crashes/shuts down. This has happened three times in a row. What can I do to successfully update iTunes so I can update my iPhone? Thanks!

    1) Nope. I rarely even use QuickTime, unless it's to view a video I took with my digital. So I never really even updated unless the little notice opened up prompting me to do so.
    2) Actually, when I try to uninstall, it's not in the add/remove window, but the uninstall link is in the programs menu. But when I do that, the InstallShield comes up, loads for a few seconds, and then nothing.
    Also, when I try to open QuickTime by itself, I get this message:
    "Your copy of QuickTime 7.0.2a63, QuickTime Player 7.0.2a63 has expired. Please visit www.apple.com/quicktime/download to download and install a new version."
    I can't update iTunes without the latest QuickTime, and I can't download the latest QuickTime without installing iTunes, but it keeps giving me errors. I had circular dilemmas like this. =/
