Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
iTunes 11 needs Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you have to upgrade Mac OS X.
First, open  > About this Mac and check if you see PowerPC in Processor. If you see it, you can't upgrade to Snow Leopard, so you can't sync the iPad with the Mac.
If you see Intel, check the Snow Leopard requirements > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 Then, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After that, make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, insert the DVD and follow the steps to upgrade Mac OS X.
The Snow Leopard DVD will install Mac OS X 10.6.3. To update to 10.6.8, open  > Software Update and install the available updates. You may need to run Software Update twice in order to install iTunes 11.0.1, that brings support with your iPad

  • How can I move my ITunes library (on MAC) to a USB Drive? I have around 22GB in the library.

    I have around 22GB of music in my ITunes library on my MAC and would love to be able to transfer it to a USB drive. I tried to transfer it to a 32GB drive and I receive a notice stating that the drive is too small. Why is that? Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.

    As for space, what and how were you trying to move?  If you used this drive before, did you empty the trash when it was connected?
    A 32GB drive?  Sounds like a flash drive to me.  I don't know I'd trust one of those, and certainly not without regular backups.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • How can I play my itunes music files on Hama Internet Radio? My Hardware: iMac Maverick and iPad 2

    How can I play my itunes music files on my internet radio? Is there an App for iPad or iMac?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

  • How can i up date pages on my mac I have osx 10.6.8

    how can i up date pages on my mac I have osx 10.6.8

    To update Pages, open  > Software Update, if you purchased Pages on a DVD, or open the App Store > Updates, if you purchased it from the Mac App Store.
    Note that the most recent Pages only works in Lion or Mountain Lion, so you can install the most recent version for Snow Leopard or the version you have now, If you want the latest Pages '09 version, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    Try disabling the computer's security software during the download and update.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • How can I delete an iTunes account ?

    How can I delete an iTunes account ?

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account (which would also delete any purchase history for it, so you would no longer be able to authorise that content on a computer, redownload it, and download updates to its apps) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Or you could just remove any personal info from it (e.g. payment details if you have any on it) and stop using it

  • How can I synchronise my iTunes Library on my iMac with the one on my MacBook?

    How can I synchronise my iTunes Library on my iMac with the one on my MacBook?

    Carolyn:
    I have almost 10,000 songs/cuts in my music collection and, because of the poor quality of iTunes music, very few of those songs/cuts come from iTunes.  My music came from me ripping it disc by disc over hundreds of hours. I would like to be able to add a disc and have both the iMac AND the MacBook music files (plus an external backup) be updated.  Surely there is an intelligent, relatively easy to implement procedure for doing this. Perhaps I am missing something but your response doesn't seem to address the sync issue with all its implications...

  • How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

    How can I locate my iTunes library files?  When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

    Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
    1. Delete old Library file
    2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
    3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension -  'iTunes Library'
    You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

    What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

  • Used my now ex's iMac and some of her music to start up iPhone 4 and backing up as well, but after break up, getting anther chance to update was out of question how can I transfer over 2000of3900songs from her Mac to my PC not using her computer or Apple

    I have over 4000 songs from mine and my now ex gfs Mac. After the split I was unable to transfer her share of music to my new lab-top. I don't wanna lose my music but I can't buy all music again I've had this problem for so long. My iPhone hasn't been backed up or synced since May 2013 I don't wanna download illegals just to get music. I figure if it's in my phone now why take it off to put back in. iTunes or Apple needs to fix the sync process or allow tranfer of music files from Iproducts directly to the computer if I back it up will it transfer all music or is this a lost cause.

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

  • How can I sync my iTunes Match covers to my iPhone?

    I have recently found new cover art for many albums and replaced this art in my iMac desktop iTunes 11 files.  However, the new art will not sync to my iTunes Match enabled devices (such as my iPhone or MacBook Air). 
    I've tried turning Match on and off on all devices to force a refresh of the contents.  Nope. 
    Unlike the problem reported here in some posts, iTunes is not changing my new art back.  I retain the new art and see it on the iMac, but nowhere else.
    Also, the art which will not change is not restricted to albums which ITunes matches with its online motherlode.  Some is music which is not matched and therefore has uploaded. I presume, therefore, I have control over all that metadata, but the original art I added to these music files years ago persists.
    I suspect that removing these files from iTunes and then re-adding them might force a new look, but this could take me weeks of work.  It seems that any updated metadata info ought to be synced to the iCloud without such a laborious workaround.
    Can anyone suggest how I can get iTunes Match to sync all my artwork?  Thank you.

    how can i get ios 7 in my ipad 2? i have tried to update it but in my setting>general there is no icon for software update.so help me please!

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
