How to get new version of software?

Hello,
I got an iPod Shuffle for Christmas, which requires the newer version of iTunes to work. I tried to download a newer version of iTunes, but when I tried to install it I received an error message stating that I needed MAC OS 10.5 or higher to run it. I currently have 10.4.11 on my computer. I downloaded the new 10.6 version, but when I tried to install it I received the same message. Is there somewhere that I can download the 10.5 version or is there a way to get around this error? I should also point out that my disk drive doesn't work, so I would like to avoid any sort of resolution that involves purchasing a disk with the new software. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help!

OK, I'm looking at this again, and I see that I downloaded: "MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.5.pkg". Maybe that isn't the actual software?
Correct, only an update for those that have 10.6.0 through 10.6.4 already installed.
Is it true that I still cannot download an updated version of iTunes without updating to the 10.6 Software?
You could download it of course, but you cannot use it in/from 10.4.x
Is there a way to purchase the software and download it online instead of using a CD/DVD?
No, sorry, you need a physical copy.

    I do NOT have a software update box on my ipad2....how do I get a newer version of software?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    Hi kwalker08865,
    It would appear that the most recent version of Safari that is compatible with OS X 10.5.8 would be Safari 5.0.6. If this would meet your needs, you can find more information and a download link on the following page:
    Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

  • HT204053 my safari and firefox old versions how to get new

    how do i get new version of firefox and safari to support icloud?

    As I aware of there is not concept of :old vs :new in alert. since you change last_name which mean it is an update instead of correction then you can get the new effective start_date and do minus - 1 to get the previouse record effective end_date and using that you can get the old last name.

  • Get new version coherence 3.5?

    Hi,
    when i want get new version 3.5 ,
    I try to register in Oracle metalink and it asks me for customer
    support identifier. May I know what is customer support identifier
    and
    how can i get that.

    The customer support identifier can be obtained from the person in your organization that was designated (usually at the time the software is purchased) as the owner of the Oracle support account. If you are not sure who that is or if you have one, you can call Oracle support at 1-800-633-0738 to get help with activating your Metalink account activated, or navigating to the right person in your organization to authorize that (assuming your organization is current on Oracle Coherence support).

  • ITunes says a newer version of software (4.3.3) is available.  However, when I download it it gives me an error message after the download is complete.  Any solutions?

    When I sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes it says that a newer version of software (4.3.3) is available.  However, after it appears to download the software I get an error message that the server timed out.  What's happening?

    This is asked and answered here many times each day.  You can do a forum search ( right side of this page).
    Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

  • New version of Software Packager?

    Our Company is Oracle Partner and we use Oracle Software Packager for deploying our application to our customers. It's been a while since Oracle released an update for it.
    Does Oracle plan to release a new Version of Software Packager which supports products.xml or will Oracle release a new toolset for creating installation sets in the new .xml format?
    Maybe the tools you internally use for creating your installation sets? Or does Oracle create everything by hand?
    Thanks for your reply,
    Regards Daniel

    Trust me i have read every document on metalink concerning OSP more then once...
    "Any question or problem with this product from non members of Oracle Partners
    should be posted in the OTN forums."
    If this are not the OTN forums tell me where to find them please.
    (Ignoring the fact the we are oracle partners.)
    I didn't criticize the support itself, it's the philosophy how oracle tries to let some products die silently, more or less ignoring the fact that they have customers which use them.
    This isn't the first time/product we have to deal with that...

    - First try resetting your iPod.  Than may make the iPod visible in iTunes o you can restore it.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visable.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Lastly see if DFU mode will make it visible.

  • I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

    I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

    For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
    1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
    KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
    2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
    http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
    3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

    I don't understand the question. Safari is a browser.
    Can you elaborate on what your are trying to do that initiated the question? People may be able to come up with some other option that gets you working the away you want.
    When you respond, please post the version of the Mac OS and the version of Safari you currently have. Otherwise, people are guessing and the quailty of help you get plummets.
