HT1338 Got latest iphone and trying to connect to itunes
I got the new iphone (I had the 4 before) and I am trying to connect to itunes and it says that I need the latest version of itunes. So, I downloaded newest version and when I go to install it says, "this software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later." How do I remedy this so I acn sync my new phone?

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...

Other countries...

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

i got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this and get my information back?
Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.
More info on backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 -
On my Iphone 4s, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. A few days before that the speaker suddenly stopped working during a call. I also reset everything by connecting to itunes but no luck then. help?
Hey there xntricj,
It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Well anyways, sounds like it's in recovery mode. You'll need to perform a restore through iTunes on the computer. -

Hi, Everyone my Uncle gifted me a New Iphone 4 From Us which was At&t
I live in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah As iphone was not In Service So i used a Application SAM then when i connected to itunes iphones latest ios version was available ios 6.1.2 i updated and installed it so now i have to Activate Iphone and itunes is telling
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care.
what to do pls help if u nwThat would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

I recently updated iTunes and when I went to put music on my iPod, however, iTunes could not pick anything up even though windows was. I then tried my iPhone and I had the same issue. I have gone through the steps off this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, and my problem was not solved. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and got nothing. What should I do now?

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

my grandson forgot passcode and iphone has been disabled and says connect to itunes how do i do this to restore the use of this phone??
Put the phone in rescue mode and have itunes restore it. This is how. Turn the device off holding down the sleep/wake button until you get slide to turn off. Turn off device. With the device off. Hold down the home button and keep holding down the home button while plugging in the iphone to your computer. Iphone will get an itunes logo and cable image on the screen release the home button. Itunes will see a device in recovery mode press ok in the message and hit restore.

Iphone and ipod crashing "connect to itunes"
My kids are having serious issues with their iPhone 3 and iPod Touch 4 -- they restore and sync, then after a few hours the iphone gets the error "activation required" then eventually results in the "connect to iTunes" screen. The iPod Touch just freezes and goes to the "connect to iTunes" screen.
Could they both be running an app that's suddenly cuasing them to crash -- or a notification or locations services error?
Just seems odd that the both started acting up at the same time. I removed the last two apps they had downlaoded but maybe it's an update to an old app.
Any troubleshooting ideas?My son's IPod touch is doing the same thing today and it IS saying activation required. And it wants to connect to iTunes. Trouble is we are in vacation..i cannot connect the iPod Touch to my computer with iTunes in it. All of hisovied, games, books are on this devices for this two week trip. I was thankimg Steve Jobs for
Keeping him entertained but now it looks as though he will have nothing. Does anyone know why this happened (so can prevent again) and second, if there is a way to fix without connecting to iTunes? -
