Help Iphone 5 trying to add music from itunes version 10

I just got an iphone 5 and I want to add music from my itunes, which is version 10. when i tried to add music it said that the iphone 5 requires the itunes version 11.1 or later. so, i tried to download the latest itunes and it said that: "This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later." My computer is mac version 10.5.8. Somebody please help..

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

Options if you cannot upgrade:  iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there.  Backup your device directly to  iCloud over a wireless connection.  Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

  • Only purchased music showing in iPhone 5s/ cannot add music from iTunes

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5s, running iOS 8.1.3, and the iTunes on my laptop is also up to date with the latest version. Last night I was dragging and dropping music from my iTunes library to my iPhone as normal - but then I suddenly noticed that all the music in my iPhone Music library had disappeared, except for things I'd purchased. I didn't change any settings or press anything by mistake or do anything different whatsoever, it just suddenly happened. Now whenever I try to drag and drop or even sync music from my iTunes library to my iPhone, nothing happens - the music does not appear on my phone. I have "Show all music" checked on my phone, but still only the purchased stuff is showing up. I don't use iTunes match or iCloud or anything like that either, I always just drag and drop music from my laptop onto my phone and it has always worked fine up until this point. Can anybody help with this? Thanks!

    According to feedback I have received, this is what has worked for many people:
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • I tried to add music from iTunes that it says I puchaced, but it is not located in the puchaced music on cloud

    I Am trying to add some Christmas music to my iPad, and when I searich for the songs I want in iTunes it says they already purchaced. I tried going into the puchaced music tab, but the songs are not there. Can you help?

    Nevermind... They were under hidden purchases in my account

  • I am trying to add music from itunes. The songs I recently purchased are coming up as a generic error. what do i do?

    In the past I have not had any issues adding music to my videos. Now all of the sudden I am unable to add recently purchased songs. I have tried burning them to a CD and reimporting the songs to add. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    More details are needed for "In the past I have not had any issues adding music to my videos."
    But, hopefully, cutting to the core of the issue
    In what format are your problem files?
    iTune music issues are typically resolved by converting the iTune music file to .wav in iTunes and then importing that .wav into
    Premiere Elements, using Premiere Elements Add Media (version 11 or 12) and Get Media (versions earlier than 11)/Files and Folders/
    This the iTune link for the how to.

    Please let me know if you need for me to fine tune any of the details.
    Please let us know if any of the above worked for you.
    Thank you.

    Each Apple ID has it's own library in iTunes.  If you tried to sync his music to your device, then it will not only wipe your information on your phone, but can affect your sons.  Make sure you are logged into iTunes with your Apple ID and restore your device from a previous backup.

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and  wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add to songs

    When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod, Itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and  wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add two to songs. My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.

    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

  • Has anyone heard of error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

    Has anyone run into error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

    I had this problem just recently.
    I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared  -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
    If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
    Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
    If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
    To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
    Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
    Re-lock the folder when you're done.
    Hopefully that will solve it.

  • How can I add music from itunes to my slideshow in premiere?

    How do I add music from itunes to my slideshow in premiere?

    What have you tried, and do you receive an error message?
    In general, itunes has DRM (copy protection) so it will only work according to the license... and as far as I know, Apple's license does not allow use in a new product, only in the Apple player... new product being the video you want to create

  • I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device.  I am also dealing with new iTunes 11.  How do I do this??  What folder does iTunes use?

    I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device.  I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11.  How can I accomplish this successfully?    What folder does iTunes use to store the data in?  I've tried several things.  Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered.  It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer.  This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.
