How do i update itunes on my brand new iphone 4s?

Hi.  I just purchased my first iPhone (ever!!) today, and I cannot get itunes to recognize it.  An error message appears that says I need to update itunes on the phone, but I can't figure out how!  I updated itunes on my laptop (vista), restarted my lappy and the phone, and that hasn't worked.  I don't want to uninstall everything and reinstall it if I can help it...Please help!  Thanks!!

That is not correct... It is more than Likely asking you to Update your iTunes Application on your Computer...
The iTunes on the phone is the iTunes Store App...
See Here for Updating iTunes Application...

    If you have iOS 7.0.2 as you have indicated, there is nothing to update. You have the latest version of the software.

  • How do i get itunes to recognize my new iphone

    I just purchased iPhone 4.  I activated it online using AT&T. However, when I connected to iTunes, it was not recognized.  I followed the steps on the troubleshooting page, but none of the steps worked.  Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how was your issue resolved?

    if iTunes cannot find your device, go to Edit>>Preferences>>Devices and unmark "Block your devices automatically sync", then I hope iTunes can find your device.

  • How do I update itunes on MAC OS X 10.5.8?

    how do I update itunes on a Power Mac G5, MAC OS X 10.5.8?
    thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The most recent iTunes version for Mac OS X 10.5.8 and PowerPC-based Macs is iTunes 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update, and install this version.
    If you have an iPhone 5 or a new device and you can't sync it with your computer, you should know that you need iTunes 10.7, but you can't upgrade Mac OS X or iTunes, so you need a new Mac or PC

    You don't. Any reference to an iTunes upgrade would be referring to iTunes on your computer.

  • How do i update itunes 4

    how do i update itunes 4 on a mac desktop machine with a 2GHz PowerPC G4 processor running OS 10.4.11?
    The latest itunes 11 can't be installed.
    Thank you

    Hello Ebolean,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Itunes 11.1 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later in install.
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    From: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You would need to upgrade to 10.6.8 before you could install the new iTunes.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    iTunes:
    AppName: itunes.exe          
    AppVer: 10.5.0.142          
    ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0   
    Offset: 001be6f6
    Quicktime:
    EventType : BEX   
    P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe   
    P2 : 7.71.80.42   
    P3 : 4ea5c6ef   
    P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll   
    P5 : 7.71.80.42   
    P6 : 4ea5c6d5
    P7 : 00005b6d   
    P8 : c0000409   
    P9 : 00000000
    That's consistent with another application (other than QuickTime) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on the PC.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
