my mac is running 10.5.8, I bought a new Nano, itunes is prompting me to get the current itunes, but my mac will not take it, states I need 10.6.8. How do I get that? When I run a software update, system says there is none. Help
Click here, check that your computer meets the requirements, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update.

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.
If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
my macknook pro is incredibly behind in updates. however when selecting software update it says there are no updates. i can't do much with it due to nothing running on the software i have currently.
To get to the next release of OS X, which is Snow Leopard 10.6, you must purchase the install DVD for it from Apple.
This is the next required upgrade from 10.5. Once you get there then you can consider upgrading to newer version if your MBP will support them. -

I need help updating my OS from the 10.5.8. It is causing a variety of problems in turn.
10.6 is the next OSX. It is not just an update of 10.5.
Call 1-800-MY-APPLE to order a DVD: $19 for single user license disk, $29 for s 5-user license disk. With Amazon charging much more than $19 for a songle disk license, I purchased a 5-user disk in case I need it and ONLY Amaazon is left. -
help?
Disable any antivirus and firewall software on your PC during the update. It can interfere with the authentication process. Kaspersky antivirus may have to be completely removed as it's especially bad about causing this problem.

I have an Dell Inspirion and 2 iPod 4 generation, 8 gig. When I cleared my iPod1 of everything it said I needed to connect with iTunes and I did. Nothing happened. My computer would not register that an iPod was synced. The iPod screen said it was syncing, but that was it. So I deleted everything on my computer connected iTunes. Now when I try and download it from the iTunes store it says error.

Software can't check for an update because of a network problem
Since I updated to Lion I keep getting this http://grab.by/cKz4 [Software can't check for an update because of a network problem window] everytime I click on Software update in finder. Also I get the same window when I try to open the App Store app.... my internet connection works fine and I previously updated with the direct stand alone downloads from the Apple site.
I downloaded the new 10.7.2 like this as well as the iphoto update.
Any ideas why this is happening?just did a bit of a search and discovered that it was Little Snitch that was the problem.... you have to update to the latest version [or switch it off for software before using software update]

How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon? I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available". I contacted Epson and was told all driver updates had to be obtained using "Software Update"?
You will find the latest Epson drivers herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398.
If you don't find a driver for your printer in the above, then install the Gutenprint drivers. It supports your model. -
my imac hasn't downloaded up to date versions of Mac OS X version 10.6, when I ask for a software update it says my software is up to date but i am running v10.5.8
v10.6 isn't an update, it's an upgrade. You must purchase v10.6 / Snow Leopard.

I have 10.5.8 and when I run software update, it says it is up to date. How do I update further?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Snow Leopard is a paid upgrade, so you can't get it in Software Update.
First, check if your Mac is supported > 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 upgrade. The disc will upgrade OS X to 10.6.3, so open > Software Update and install the most recent version -
I got a refurbished mac yesterday, and it disent have the latest osxlion software, and i think it has snow leopard. When i clicked software update it says my software was up to date. Please help me get it freee, because i was supposed to.
Apple includes Lion with its refurbished products. What you bought was a used computer. The best course of action is to try to get your money back and buy a factory-certified refurbished computer. Otherwise, you are likely buying someone else's problem.
