How can I update iTunes 11.1.2?

I recently bought an iPhone 5c and I plugged in my phone to sync with my iTunes library.
However, I had not installed the latest update yet and my computer notified me that I must have the latest update (11.1.2) to sync my new device.
So I attempted to update it several times only to recieve an error message:
"Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.
I tried going into my program files and setting my iTunes folder NOT read-only.
I tried going online and downloading the latest iTunes installer.
I tried updating multiple times and nothing is working.
I just want to get the latest version of iTunes so I can sync my new iPhone.
This is too frustrating. Please help!

The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

Which OS X version is your Mac running?
If you have used Software Update on your Mac or tried to update iTunes only direct from iTunes on your Mac and you are notified there isn't an update available, this means your Mac is running an OS X version that is not supported for iTunes 10.7 or later. The current OS X version is 11.0.2.

How can I update iTunes on my ipad?

I am unable to sync my iPad with iTunes on my lap top.
The warning reads:
'The ipad "xxxx's ipad' can not be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.iTunes.com/uk to download the latest version of iTunes'
but when I go to iTunes.com/uk it redirects to apple.com and I can not find a link to update iTunes for an ipad anywhere.
If I'm being dense I apologise - please someone help!
Thanks

Correct. The iTunes App on an iDevice is not the same as the iTunes Application for a Computer.
The message you are getting relates to Updating iTunes on your computer not your iPad.
What type of computer do you have...?
If a Mac...
Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...
 > About this Mac > Version...what does it say?
If it says OS X 10.5.8... you have Leopard. If that is the case, you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x
You will then be able to Install iTunes version 11 to Sync your Device.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

How/can I update itunes library from ipod

I had a previous version of iTunes on a work PC, which I had copied my entire CD collection onto. I have since moved companies and hence lost the laptop. I(maybe stupidly) assumed that I could update the iTunes library from the iPod.
Having searched the support pages, the only way that I can tell to do this was to export the library in the first place, which I did not do. Also iTunes seems to want to delete everything from my iPod everytime I try to do anything?!?
I really want to avoid spending every evening for another week downloading all the albums again, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
Mark

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended (as previously mentioned) is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

HT5457 How can I update iTunes?

My IPAD keeps crashing while on Safari, Google, in an app, and it is annoying. Some apps will not download while in the app before it crashes. I contacted a customer service rep of the iTunes Store, and he said I would need to Update my iTunes first then update my IPAD from IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 6. I uninstalled iTunes then installed it again. Then went to Settings, - General - Software update - and when it checks for updates it states it is updated to current of IOS 5.1.1. I connected my IPAD to my PC. I have Windows 8, and 19.4 GB of memory free. What should I do now? Thank you.

The iPad 1 simply can't handle iOS6. There isn't enough memory when you factor everything in..
But there is enough memory on iPhone 3GS that predates iPad 1 by many months? :blink: Sounds difficult to believe.
In most of the Mac related places I go on, I haven't heard very nice things about iPad 1st gen and iOS 5 in general. Most people have stuck to iOS 4 instead.
They've got to be kidding. iOS 5 is great, a seminal, must-do upgrade.* It introduced iCloud, finally allowing us to forget about iTunes and the USB cable once and for all; a landmark. iOS 5 runs reasonably well on my iPad 1, although the device does suffer from a lack of operating memory especially.
* and I'm not an upgrade freak, sticking with iOS 5 on all my iDevices so far

I attempted to install an update to my iTunes and got a "C Runtime Error" message. Now when I attempt to open iTunes I get a pop up that says to reinstall iTunes. But I can't open iTunes to reinstall it. How can I reinstall iTunes?

I received notification of ANOTHER iTunes update being available, so I attempted to install the update on my Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. During the update process, two pop-up announced that I had a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" Runtime Error, R6034 and another pop-up that states "iTunes" iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. However, I cannot open iTunes. I get the same pop-up telling me to reinstall iTunes.
I had many songs in my iTunes library that came from sources other than iTunes, mostly my own CDs. Plus, I have nearly $100 credit remaining in the iTunes store. I'm converned I will lose the songs and store credit if I reinstall iTunes. So my questions are:
1. How can I reinstall iTunes?
2. If I reinstall it, will I lose my store credit and non-iTunes songs?
Thanks,
Jim

Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

Requirements for iPhone 5:
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 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

HT2305 I am currently using a PC and it wont update which means the itunes I am using on my comuter is not up to date. How can I update it? do I have to uninstall and install it again?

Today when I recieved my new phone I realized I needed to back the older one up so I tried and failed when my computer said that my Itunes was out of date so I went on itunes to find out that I have no idea how to just update itunes with out uninstalling it. does anyone know how?

What do you mean it "won't update"? That is extremely vague and frankly a useless statement.
What happens when you try to update iTunes? Any errors?
There is no reason to uninstall.
If you want, you can always download and install the latest version from Apple's website, that is essentially all the update does anyways.
