HELP! My mac os version is old for newest itunes update!
Hi, please help, I'm soooo frustrated!!
I had an older version of Itunes and was forced to install the newest 12.0.1 version, so I did, and restarted my laptop to complete installation and nothing happened - the update wouldn't get finished, so I did this about 3 times still installation wouldn't complete. Thinking this is a glitch with installation, I deleted Itunes altogether and went on itunes.com to install the new version from there. After it got installed, it told me that it requires OS X version 10.7.5 and my current one is Mac OS 10.6.8 !!! This is sooo annoying, why does Apple force ppl to get updates all the time??
If it's a PowerPC Mac, upgrading isn't possible.
If it's an Intel Mac, upgrading requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Everytime I try to install the newest iTunes I get the error message,
"There is a problem with this windows installer package A program required for this install to complete could not be run contact your personnel or package vendor"
halfway through the install. I have tried every troubleshooter that half relates to my problem on apples,and microsofts webites, as well as several I found using Google. I know I can't be the only one having this problem. I would be gratefulk for any help someone could offer. Thank you.I'm having a really similar problem but my error message says "installer has insufficient permissions to modify this file: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dns-sd.exe."
I really don't have any advice except do NOT follow the 'general troubleshoot' crap on apple and delete your itunes. I did that hoping it would fix the problem and now I have the same problem and no itunes- it won't re-install.
Other than that I was hoping maybe if you figured anything out you could let me know and vice versa? Maybe we have the same problem somehow.
Good luck, and if i get any feedback, i'll let you know as well. -
I just download a software called Mac Guard version 2.6 for protection of viruses is there is a such software ? thank you
It's malware. Follow the instructions linked below to remove it. The name is different from what the instructions show, but otherwise the procedure should be the same. If you entered your credit card number, cancel the card immediately.

I started the download for the itunes update, but before it completed, it said there was an error. I then went to open itunes, and the message came up that itunes was not installed on my computer. Did I lose everything?
Hello llblake,
Fortunately, the process of installing or updating iTunes should not affect your library. The following articles can help with getting iTunes properly updated and stabilized.

The kids have 3 new iPad minis for Xmas, but our Mac will not recognize the devices when we connect the minis to it. The Mac/iPad says it needs a newer version of iTunes, but the Mac says that it has the latest version of iTunes. The kids can't transfer their music, books, photos, etc from the Mac, where everything is centrally stored, to their new minis. :(. Can any one help?
What itunes version do you have?
What Mac OS version do you have?
From the ipad mini box and web page:
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
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 2 or later

PSE 8.0 (Mac) Trial Version, no selection for Slideshow.
I select photos in Bridge then click on Create, there appears to be selections for Web Photo Gallery and for PDF Slideshow but no selection for plain ordinary Slideshow. Did Adobe eliminate the plain jane Slideshow from this version?
Regards,
BobThanks Barbara, I will go to the Hands On Training Room at the Green Valley Camera Club and use one of the Vista machines to build my lesson plan. Hopefully that version will have a basic Slideshow selection. When I saw the new PSE Version 8.0 for the Mac I thought it would be the one to use to teach the new class next week, so I installed the Trial version.
Our club is very active and has just installed PSE ver 8.0 on all six of the Vista machines and the instructors console. In case you want to have a look at us, our web site is: www.gvcameraclub.org
Our membership oscillates between 1,000 and 1,200 members. Right now we have 120 signed up for our 10-week Photography Basics Course.
Thank you again for your prompt reply,

PLEASE HELP. you don't have write access for your itunes media folder or a folder within it
I am using Windows 7. If it makes a difference, my OS and important programs run on an SSD, while eveyrthing else is on a larger HDD. For awhile now I have had this problem anytime I try to do things in iTunes like import a CD, or a blu-ray digital copy. It gives me this error "you don't have write access for your itunes media folder or a folder within it windows 7." I have read tons of articles on how to change file permissions in windows and give full control and all that stuff. I swear I have read and tried anything remotely close to a solution for my issue, and it just wont fix it. Anyone have any out of the box ideas aside from changing permissions on the iTunes folder?
Also, when I make a new user account on my PC, the fresh iTunes on that account works just fine. So I don't know whats going on. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!clsepulveda wrote:

Hi,
I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
Is this related to the iTunes update?
If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.
NikHi Jeff,
Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it a go again?
Brgds,

Do you mean that when connected to your computer your iPod isn't being recognised by your computer's iTunes, you aren't getting the device icon showing next to the content type icons towards the top left of the iTunes screen ? e.g.
If not then see if one of these troubleshooting pages help :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
iCloud isn't used for updating a device (apart from backing up to it, though ideally you'd also back up to your computer's iTunes and copy any iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes library). Or do you mean that you can't update wirelessly directly on your iPod ?
(I've asked for your post to be moved to the Using iPod forum, where you've posted is for questions about the iTunes U app.) -
When I attempt to download the lastest version of the iphone 4 OS update or the itunes one for the desktop, the file is too large for my internet carrier. It will allow only a 400 MB download versus the download size of 583 MB. Suggestions?
You can download on your work computer, then place the file on your desktop of your home computer, if you want. Then:
Launch iTunes
Option+Click (Mac OS X) or Shift+Click (Windows) the Update button
Select the IPSW update file you just placed on your desktop
Let iTunes update your hardware to the latest version
The .ipsw file is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it. -
The newest iTunes update for the iPhone just deleted at least 15 paid apps
I'm not here to be scolded or have any of the sarcastic or "holier than thou" replies said to me. So cut it out and be serious and save me your self righteous indignation.
Problem: In the middle of updating I experienced an error at the VERY last second of updating that showed me a usb plug and the iTunes image. I researched what this was and found out the problem.
*Item 1.)* all songs lost. So what, I am through with you iTunes, I've backed up and saved so many times without you even validating that fact. I've backed up and without fail somehow all songs have been lost in one way or another so I've come to terms I can't be happy when it comes to having songs. If I don't update I'll never get the new features, if I do update I'll lose all songs on my iPod. (also don't give me the "you need to back up" speech, I know, I accidentally deleted my backup hd and now it is serving as my time machine, however this also permanently makes it useless for windows even after "de-activating" it as a time machine)
*Item 2.)* all applications lost.
*Item 3.)* Able to recover 3%out of 100% of applications:
a. For some reason I've backed up my iPhone every time I've connected and also for some unknown reason it decided to tell me my most recent backup was from two months ago. Negating all paid applications I've made for the past two months. This, to say the least is very agitating. Not only am I angry because I lost all of them, I have no way for the iTunes store to have a shred of sympathy and replace the paid applications even though I have all of the email receipts. (if you know a way to contact them so that I can plead my case, although I've done this before and they basically told me to shove off, please direct me to the proper places to inform them)
I'm not trying to be so mean/mad/uninformed on these subjects but I love apple and their products but their failure to help me every time I mess up is disheartening because their system is set up so that I can't mess up. If I do I'm screwed and need to start over. This will be the 30th or so time I've had to start all over and I'm sick of it. Bloody sick of it.
Message was edited by: ddrtUPDATE: For some reason it specifically elminated 4 applications, twitterfon pro that was updated to ecofon pro, camerazoom (which was $12.00), and my reddit application.
I'm thinking it failed to finalize the most recent update which resulted in deletion of my applications. -
I was prompted to update my Itunes with version 11.?.? and now I can't open Itunes. When I tried to download the itunes app off the internet I quit after asking for me to verify Iapple devices. What am I doing wrong?
Hello Capt1961,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.
