How can i get the lates version of itunes on my macbook? it says i need to download version 10.8.6 first but wont let me download that either

i recently bought the new iphone 5s and cannot use it becacuse i need to connect it too itunes version 11.1, However it wont let me download it because it says i have to download version 10.8.6 first but wont let me download that either so i have a brand new iphone that is useless because i cant download itunes on my macbook. how can i fix this?

10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) is an upgrade from Leopard, which you apparently have (10.5.8).
iTunes 11 requires 10.6.8 (not 10.8.6 as you have typed). If your Mac is an Intel one with at least 1Gb of RAM then you can buy Snow Leopard in the online Apple Store (type 'Snow Leopard' in the search box rather than browsing for it).
Once installed, download the combo updater to bring it up to 10.6.8:

You will then be able to install iTunes 11. However if your Mac has a PPC processor you cannot install Snow Leopard and will be unable to proceed. To check this, choose 'About This Mac' from the Apple menu and look where it says 'Processor' - it needs to say 'Intel' for you to be able to upgrade.

  • How can I get the photos on my pc onto my Macbook without emailing each one individually to myself?

    How can I get the photos on my pc onto my Macbook without emailing each one individually to myself?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Copy them from your PC to a flash drive or an external drive, then open iPhoto and select Import to Library.
    Depending on your settings, iPhoto might open automatically and ask if you want to import them when the device (camera or flash drive or external drive) containing the images is connected.
    At the end of the import, iPhoto will ask if you want to delete or keep the photos on the other device. Keep until you're absolutely certain all images are imported correctly and you've viewed them in iPhoto. It's always nice to have a backup.

  • How can I get the sidebar back in iTunes 12?

    The Sidebar is the MAIN part of iTunes I have used for several years.  Unfortunately, I made the mistake of updating iTunes to 12, and the Sidebar is completely gone.  As far as I can see there is no way to get it back.
    Does anyone know a way to restore the Sidebar?  If not, is there a way to revert my iTunes back to version 11?
    At this point, I will only be using my iTunes to back up my iPhone, that's it.  Until I get an iTunes that is more user friendly....one with a Sidebar....I will not be using iTunes for any other reason.  (Yes, I'll be boycotting the store....no purchases of any kind from iTunes from now on.)

    But it's not exactly the same. You can only look at one thing at a time. You no longer have the heading that says "Library" and then the music, movies, etc., listings under it. I am now migrating computers and this has made it a royal PITA. Before, I could have all the listings, including my shared library, and I could just drag-and-drop from my shared library to the new one. Not anymore. Now I have to go in and import. Which, like many other people, takes a long time because of the size of our music collections. My rock category alone looks like it's going to take several days. I don't have a flash drive large enough to just copy to that and then move that way.
    So thank you so very much Apple for once again fixing something that wasn't broken.

  • Newbie: How can I get the camera to work with skype on macbook air

    Sorry that I'm a beginner at this.  I just can't find the answer to it, but I'm sure it's common question.  Since the macbook air has a camera built in, how come it isn't showing up on my new skype account?

    Go into an Apple Store if under a year old from purchase. They can assist you
    Or check out the issue at the Apple Support Community

  • HT4437 I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?

    I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?
    This one is used in Windows laptop, and I want it support AirPlay service, but Apple doesn't publish the AirPlay protocol.
    Many thanks.

    Create a developer account, then access he developers forums and see if you can find the information that way 
    The other option would be to simply contact Apple directly.

  • How can I get the HTML codes in illustrator?

    Hi, I am a graphic designer, and I am getting into the web world, I wanna know how can I get the HTML codes to upload a web design made using Illustrator,...¡?Does any one know?Please let me know...

    everyone here is right, dreamweaver is better and you will need to understand html for this to work. HOWEVER, you can make a functional website using just illustrator and notepad (or text edit if you're on a mac).
    Design your site in illy, slice it up with the slice tool. http://s23.postimg.org/mv311kpp7/test_illy.jpg 
    Save for web and select html and images, you'll get an html file and an images folder. Open the HTML file in your text editing program and it will look like this: http://s10.postimg.org/f32nf6r2h/html_stuff.jpg   you'll have to know HTML codes but you can find tutorials online for most stuff, you'll just have to figure it out. In my fake site, i linked a button to google so i had to add <a href> tags to the code. http://s22.postimg.org/5avpadhch/a_href.jpg  save the html file and open it in your web browser, hopefully not IE. You can't tell in the picture but the middle button actually does link to google. http://s21.postimg.org/qd77slqmf/firefox.jpg

  • C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?

    C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?
    Say I have a filepath=/mnt1/file1
    Using some OS API like stat, can I get the Filesystem /mnt ?
    Thanks in advance,
    -V

    Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
    If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
    Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
    So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
    Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

    I have a purchased version of Chess (from Apple) on my old iPod. Today I got a new Gen. 5 iPod. HOW can I get the chess app onto the new iPod, or do I have to purchase it again?

    Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         

  • How can i get the map version in OVI?

    In map loader,we can see the map version in the left of the bottom of the interface.
    But,how can i get the version in my phone in OVI Suite map?
    my phone is E72,ovi suite is the lastest.
    3x

    Hi think, currently you can check, what map data files there's in your device by browsing device in Nokia Ovi Suite. Just click arrow on top of the phone icon and check what map data files there's in the device.
    Unfortunately, we don't have yet functionality to show, what version maps there's in device.
