Do I need to update iTunes?
I have iTunes 9.1 that is running fine with my 3rd generation iPod touch.
If I buy the new 4th generation ipod touch, will it sync with my existing iTunes program, or do I need to update iTunes?
I read all the grief and problems people have in updating iTunes from 9.1 to 10 and I'd rather not if it's not necessary.
Thanks.
"I was just about ready to pull the trigger on buying a new ipod Touch, but then thought that with all the problems people have posted about upgrading itunes, maybe that wasn't the best idea. Every upgrade seems to have issues, and break things....
This is a support forum designed for people with problems, so naturally you will see problems here. Just as you will see many sick people in the hospital.
Most never have an issue. I have never had a problem nor has anyone I know.
"Maybe I should just install a new iTunes on a completely separate computer... but then I wouldn't be able to transfer apps from the old touch to the new one..... oh well....."
You can certainly move your apps to a new computer or redownload them.
Use your backup copy to move everything over or plug in your ipod to the new computer, do not sync, then click File>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload them:

Ever since updating to new OS, my iphone won't sync to itunes. When I plug in the phone to the PC, dialog box says I need to update itunes to 10.6.3 or later. I did that update, but still get the same error message.
Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks!Since it told me to update, I updated to 10.7.
Then when I plugged in the phone again, it gave the same message that I need to update itunes. -

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.

when i plug in my iphone to my macbook it says i need to update itunes to 11.1 but i've already downloaded it and installed it. it still says that i need to download iTunes. what do i do?
Hi conor1221!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

I want to Sync music from my PowerBook 4 to my Ipod generation 7 but it says I need to update Itunes to 10.7 but when it finishes updating and i go back to itunes nothing has changed and Itunes is not updated.
In order to install iTunes 10.7 or later you need OSX 10.6.8 or later. A PowerBook can install up to OSX 10.5.8
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but any new iPod won't sync with iTunes on Mac not using an Intel processor. -
I am trying to update my first generation ipad and I keep going in circles. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
First gen iPad or 4th gen iPad?
first gen iPads max out at iOS 5.1.1
If your 4th gen says you need an updated iTunes then it's talking about the iTunes on your comptuer. For iOS7 you need at least iTunes 11 -

I'm about to hulk out guys! Brand new iPhone 5 and need to update iTunes for recognition. Keep getting "the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." Can anyone help? I may smash something very soon.
iTunes:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer: 10.5.0.142
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 001be6f6
Quicktime:
EventType : BEX
P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe
P2 : 7.71.80.42
P3 : 4ea5c6ef
P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll
P5 : 7.71.80.42
P6 : 4ea5c6d5
P7 : 00005b6d
P8 : c0000409
P9 : 00000000
That's consistent with another application (other than QuickTime) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on the PC.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -
I purchased the new gen 7 ipod nano and needed to update itunes to 10.7 but my current software says its up to date and won't download 10.6.8 Currently I have 10.5.8 Why won't this update?

Need to update iTunes, iPhoto, etc.?
Hi,
I installed Snow Leopard10.6 on my desktop iMac, and noticed when I connect my old iphone (about 3 yrs old), iTunes and iPhoto doesn't recognize it. So, I can't download music or upload pics from the phone to the iMac. Do I need to update these software apps as well?
tks,Try running Software Update under the Apple for everything until there aren't anymore, if it works after that you just needed the updates if not most likely theres an update in iTunes for a new iOS for your iPhone
