Help with iTunes/iPhone/Software update

Hi all, I have a MacBook Pro and am running OS X version 10.5.8 on it.  However, when I plug in my iPhone 4GS in it now, it says that it can't be used unless I have the new version of iTunes (currently showing version of iTunes 10.6.3)--- however, when I check for software updates, nothing is coming up and it says everything is up to date.  If I directly try to download the newest version of iTunes, it says my OS isn't up to date...  This is something new that has occurred within the last couple of months.  I didn't have a problem with it before.  Help please!!!
Thanks!

If you need the current iTunes 10.7, you'll need to upgrade to OS X 10.6. You can buy it online from the Apple store or call them, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE.

  • Need help with itunes iphone update

    When I try to sync my iphone 4 with ios 7 to itunes for windows, I also receive the "can't use devise...requires itunes 11.1 or higher". I am advised to download this version at itunes.com. However, when I follow the link, I am not allowed to download b/c my phone already has itunes installed on it. The download link offers no tab or lik for either updating or downloading any new software. What am I missing? BTW, my pc is updated with itunes 11.1.

    Same problem here. It shows up under devices but there is no "page" for it. No tabs, music, apps, nothing.

  • Hey guys, when I try to update my iPhone my iTunes responds with 'The iPhone software update server could not be contacted' please help, I believe this is why none of my downloaded apps are working. Cheers.

    Also Internet isn't working on it. Either this is all down to a botchy update issue or I need a new phone.

    Try posting to the correct forum.
    This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.
    Try posting to the iTunes for the Mac forum.

  • Help with iTunes, iPhone and a third party app

    First off, I didn't know where to post this, so I am posting it in iTunes because that's where I am having trouble accessing it.
    I just downloaded the new remote app ( http://gizmodo.com/5023715/apple-remote-iphone-app-controls-your-itunes-over-wi+ fi ) and I have a couple of friends who have it so I know it works, but I can't seem to get it working with my phone.
    The screen for the app install is telling me the fllowing:
    To add an iTunes library, open iTunes and select "xx's iPhone" form the devices list.
    To add Apple TV, go to your Apple TV and choose Remotes from the General menu in Settings.
    That's all the steps to seting up my remote, but I managed to mess that up. I did the first step just fine, and selected my iPhone, synced my phone up with the remote, but I cannot find anything about Apple TV. The only "General menu" I can find is in Edit> Preferences> General, but that has nothing about Apple TV. The only thing I can find about Apple TV is in Help> Apple TV Help.
    So am I just missing a simple menu option somewhere? Thanks in advance.

    I did try going minimal security (I believe I read elsewhere WEP 128) still without result. So after much frustration went and bought an Express, Extreme replaced Netgear router. Internet access is good but I have been unable to "extend" with the Express-- I can access other network devices, but not the internet. When I disable the various "extending" options internet works fine (probably should start a new topic on this). Thanks.

  • HT3669 help with hp 6700 software update

    In trying to set up a new HP Officejet 6700 I have now installed the software twice, following directions found in HP forums.  I still cannot update the software using their directions.  Can anyone help here?

    I have solved this by uninstalling the printer and software once more.  For an unknown reason, this time I was able to get the update.  But since this is such a common problem, it should be addressed on the HP site!

  • Need help with itunes / iphone sync settings

    The old computer I synced my iphone to is no longer working and i never changed my music settings to "manual". Is there a way to change it on my phone to where I don't lose all of my songs? Or is there a way of backing up my songs from my phone to a flashdrive or other sources? Please help!

    The option will be in your third party tool.

  • Help with the ios 5 Update on my 4th Gen iPod.

    For whatever reason, everytime I ATTEMPT to download the latest update on my iPod, it takes a good 7 minutes to download and then...
    "You network connection has timed out"
    And I'm pretty darn confused. So, is there anyway that you can explain to me what that means, and how I fix it?
    Please?
    Oh, and it also won't let me restore it.
    Thank You.

    If you cannot wait:
    download the iOS5.0.1 file directly to your PC (~700MB), if that works better, connect the iPhone and Alt+click on the "Update" button, choose the newly downloaded file.
    If you cannot wait at all, do the update on the iPhone itself (~38MB), but you still have to download the iOS full file to your PC, otherwise it will not be there when one time you need to restore: copy it to
    for XP:
    Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    for W7:
    Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    You throw awy the downloaded when after a time you are sure that everything is OK and the full iOS stays in the Updates folder.

  • HT4623 Can I update 3 iPhones with the latest software update that are all on thr same iTunes account?

    I kept all my iPhones after I upgrading to the latest one each time my 2 year contract was up so I have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. I actually still use all 3 phones for different purposes. My iphone 3gs is not activated, but I still use it for apps among other things when connected to wifi. My iphone 4 & 4s are both activated with 2 saparete phone numbers, but I have all 3 devices on the same iTunes account. I never noticed this to be a problem until just recently when I was thinking about selling one of my iphones since I'm now due to upgrade again to the iPhone 5.  Well my problem is that when the latest iphone software update came available I noticed that all 3 iPhones had a notification letting me know that there was a new update available & I didn't want to update my iphone 4 & 4S until I had a recent back-up on my pc just incase anything went wrong like once before. Referring to the last time I updated my iphone 4s for some reason right in the middle of the update it lost connection. So I had to restore my entire phone from scratch & because I didn't check to make sure that had a recent back up right before I updated I ended up losing a lot of important information. So anyway since my iphone 3GS I knew had a recent back up & plus it doesn't have a lot of important information stored on it I chose to go ahead & update it first. Then later on when I went to update my other two iPhones I noticed the notification that was there before on all my phones to let me know the update was available was now gone & it would not give me the option to update either of my other two phones. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was later told that Apple will only let you download the free update software on only one device on each iTunes account & since I have all 3 devices on one itunes account I could only choose to update one. I didn't know this beforehand so I used the update on my 3GS which I barely use except to play with on wifi & now my other two iPhones which are the main ones I use are both activated now function very slow & constantly crash. Also if I was to choose to sale one of the iPhones without the latest software update on it does that mean that the new owner will not be able to get the latest update meaning the phone would be out of date without having that latest software installed? If anyone knows how to help me fix this or give some advice I would really appreciate!!

    That's utter non-sense.
    Just connect your 4 & 4S, iTunes running, & hit the "Check for Updates" button, or you can update directly on the phones(if running iOS 5.0 or higher): Settings>General>Software Update.
    iOS 6.1.3 is the current iOS version for both phones.

    Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
    Still the same TS1275?
    Is your iPhone jailbroken?

  • HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

    I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

    That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
    Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

  • My iTunes is having issues contacting the iPhone software update server. Help?

    I click Check for Update in iTunes and it gives me an error saying, "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted." and then tells me to make sure my network settings are correct and my connection is active. But I can still get on internet with my computer.

    That error indicates that something is blocking your computer's communication with the update server. Remove your third-party security software and disable your firewall, then try again. As long as your phone isn't jail broken, which would also block the connection to the update server, it should work just fine after that

    my ipad2 show itunes and the usb but in my macbook shows iphone software update serves cannot be contacted... pls. anyone can help.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Diavonex's reply is not pertinent to your problem at all
