Cant update itunes but need to for new ios6
Hey im an owner of a macbook pro from a few years ago and its still on version 10.5.8.
Now I regretfully updates to ios6 on my iphone 4s and now cant sync with my itunes because my itunes cant be updated unless I have version 10.7 or newer os.
Is there any way to work around this so that I can sync my iphone 4s again with ios 6 with my macbook pro or should i just start using my windows computer for everything mac (because im not spend 60 bucks for this update).
I am having a similar issue, I have an older MacBook and am still using OS X 10.5.8. But unlike my fellow user, I am unable to download the latest version of itunes because it is requesting I have at least OS X 10.6.8. What can I do?
I don't want to purchase an expensive software update, but I must be able to sync my phone with my mac.
Thanks in advance!

I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Any help?
First you need to install Mac OS 10.6. To do this you have to buy the OS disk. (This is a whole different OS, not an update of 10.5.) Order it here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You may be able to install an even newer OS, but you have to get 10.6 first.
Please look at Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info... and check under Hardware Overview for the Model Identifier of your Macbook. That will tell us whaat is the highest OS you can install. -
My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?
It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

i need to update to the latest version of itunes, but need to download some images and video first.....it is telling me that this will all be erased if i update, but it is not letting me do anything else.....what can i do??
You have no choice but to restore the phone.
However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right? -
Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

OK so yes, but if, and only if:
(1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
- and -
(2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
- and -
(3) your MacBook is working properly.
If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model. Alternatively, check the User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.

Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight. Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight. If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need. We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.
You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So how do I get my ITunes back?Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I've tried updating itunes but nothing happens. It always asks me if I want to download the newest version but when I click download it does nothing. Then when I open itunes again it asks me the same question.
Try downloading an installer for the new version directly from the Apple Website, debra:

Please find a moment to tell us more about your machine, the model identifier, the OS version, and the total amount of RAM you have. It also helps to know where you are, nothing specific, just the country.
All of this needs to be shown for us to answer questions. Remember, different OS's and devices often require different answers for the same question.
This current question is unanswerable except by blind guesswork. -
