HT2305 mac os and itunes problem!

ok, so i've been trying to connect my iphone to my itunes, but when i open itunes and connect my phone nothing happens! it says that i need to update to the itunes 10.7 or higher, and when i try to do this is says i need to update to the mac os 10.8 version, which i apparently have to pay for. im happy with the software i have at the moment, but i need to be able to keep my phone up to date with my computer. is there any way that i can get out of this or download the new mac os version for free? i think its stupid that i have to pay for something i did not want/ ask for!!!!
help?!

Oh, it wouldn't be any different, it would just be an account that the company could use for purchases, such as Lion or Apps from the Mac App Store, since you can install the Apps on as many computers as you want.

  • Have music files from a windows PC and put them on a usb drive. how do I transfer them to the mac mini and iTunes?

    Bought a mac mini and have music files from my old windows PC on a USB drive. need to know how to transfer all the music from the USB drive to itunes so I can sync them with my new ipod.

    Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the icon for that drive, locate the song files, drag them to any location inside the Home entry, open iTunes, and drag them from there into it.

  • Mac Mini and Internet Problems

    According to my re-install disks, which there are 2...I can put in 0S-9 or OSX 10.3.7. I believe currently that I am running the OSX 10.3.7. By the way, please be patient with me, I am relatively new to Macs. Anyway, this morning the internet was working perfectly. This afternoon, when I clicked on my Safari Icon, the Yahoo homepage will load about 75% and then it closes and I get an error message. I also sometimes use Netscape for ebay listings and it is doing the same thing. I called my ISP and my cable modem seems to be sending proper signals and he said it sounds like a computer issue. Through Internet explorer I am able to get on the Mac site and leave a post but this is far as I can go. Any help will be appreciated!
    God Bless!!!

    The Mac Mini (probably) won't boot natively to OS 9. The OS 9 disks are for what's called Classic Mode. It's for backwards compatibility for those of us who have older software we still want to run; it basically runs OS 9 within OS X. Since you are new to Macs, running old applications is probably not an issue for you, and you will save around 300 MB or so by not installing it.
    About your network problem:
    +Not all browsers and webpages are built to the same set of standards. Webpages built with Microsoft software tend to be especially notorious about not working with anything other than IE, but IE-Mac isn't up to the universal standards. I usually run Safari, but I have 4 browsers installed: Safari, Firefox (tends to be the most compatible, but I like Safari's interface better), IE, and Netscape (I use it for building simple html).
    +Sometimes weird problems are cause when the file permissions are messed up. Go to the folder /Applications/Utilities and run the application Disk Utility, then find the button that says "Repair Permissions" and click it.
    +Use the Software Update utility and download the latest updates. First download the 10.3.9 update all by itself, then any Security Updates, then others. You will be stuck rebooting more than once, so when you do this, make sure you have time to sit in front of your computer for awhile.

  • Screensaver, system sounds and itunes problem

    I did all the updates and even used migration assistant so my computer has been through allot already. I do not know which update affected my screen saver and optical audio but my screen saver is having the same issue with two monitors. My VGA monitor displays photos when the screen saver kicks in but my macbook just says looking for pictures. I tried reseting pram, repairing permissions and "safe boot" but nothing works. My optical audio somehow messes with my system sounds and iTunes on first song or podcast played. Sometimes the progress bar will freeze and I can't move it.(the time counter for a track in iTunes). The system sound works off and on when I use optical audio out to my stereo receiver. I talked to apple care and the genius bar and they said I might need to archive and install from the recovery discs that came with my computer. I think if I did that and did all the updates then the problem would return because I think it is a firmware or software update problem and not third party software interacting with the system.

    iTunes shouldn't do that. Normally when iTunes finds that it would like to move/rename a file after download or a tag edit, and the filename it wants to use is already in use, it adds a " 1" or " 2" to the end of the filename. It does not overwrite the original file. In fact if it had reused the filename then there would be two entries in your library, which would both have the same information and content. Is this the case? How exactly is the title of the film spelt?
    File & folder names are limited to 40 characters in Windows so I would expect (judging by the titles given in the store) to find the movies in a folder called:
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - P
    and to be called
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.m4v and
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallo 1.m4v
    Hopefully you have a backup of the missing file as, in principle, you are only allowed to create one copy using the redemption code.

  • Why isn't there a chart with ios, mac os and itunes compatibily?

    Since there are so many people who have been screwed over by upgrading to a newer ios without knowing that they would need a different version of iTunes that can only work with a newer Mac os, but their computer cannot run that os, so now they are out of luck, WHY isn't there a chart somewhere that shows the compatibility between ios, itunes, Mac os and even Mac computer versions? The info is available if you search for it separately (lots of searches), but I can't find it all in one place. For example, ios7 works only with itunes 11.1 and up on 10.6.8 and up on an intel Mac. That is really useful for people who want to make sure their whole infrastructure is compatible before they upgrade. Does anyone know if something like this exists anywhere? Thanks.

  • PSE 2 won't open on Mac "unexpected and unrecoverable problem"

    Got a new PowerBook G4 (Mac OS 10.5.6) and trying to use PSE 2.0 (which worked fine on my older iMac)
    When I click the icon it acts like it is going to open but then I get a message saying "an unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occured because of a program error."
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    PSE 2 is, unfortunately, not compatible with leopard. PSE 3, 4, and 6 will work just fine.

  • Mac Mail and Hotmail problem

    Hello,
    Sorry if this has been asked before but I have searched with no luck yet.
    I recently set up Mail to retrieve mail from my hotmail accounts.
    It worked fine for about 4 days then just stopped working. It will not connect to the hotmail server.
    I have tried all the suggestions I have seen during my search but nothing works.
    I deleted my accounts on Mac Mail and started again but now get the message that the server "pop3.live.com" is not responding during the setup.
    Why would this work for a few days then without any changes from me just stop working? Why does the server not respond now but did four days ago when I initially set it up without any problems.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Regards.

    The same thing happened to me and probably to all other users of the httpmail plugin. I looked up on the Automagic Software website (creator of httpmail) and they mentioned that as of September 1st 2009, Microsoft has withdrawn support for HTTPmail protocol.
    If someone else has got it to work, please post here. Thanks.

  • New Address Book SYNC and ITUNES Problems- HELP!!!

    When I try to tick the check box to syncornize my address book in my iPod preferences panel, I get the following message: "No contacts available- contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Address Book and create contacts now?" When I do, Address Book opens (full of the 1100 contacts), but does not resolve the problem. Neither does deleting then reimporting the contacts, nor restoring from back up, nor Disk Warrior's rebuilding of the Directory.
    Likewise, when I try to use iSync with my phones (until recently working by the way), I cannot tick the sync 'Contacts' box and then choose a phonebook, as it just gives me All Contacts as the only option. And even then, when I try to sync, I get a "sync failed" message.
    These probelms started occurring after a kernal panic that happened when I connected my Sony Ericsson w800i to my computer via a USB cable. iPhoto and iTunes freaked out, but have since been restored to working order. But when I connected the new video iPod for the first time, I couldn't get it to sync with Address Book nor iCal. iCal works today, but not so the Address Book.
    Yikes....if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
    A

    THANK YOU for this solution; after trying MANY things to get my addresses to sync again, this fixed my sync problem! One suggestion I would add is if you try this, be sure to check the box "sync notes when exporting vCards" (Address Book: preferences) before exporting. The first time I lost my notes, but just removed the folder again and exported with notes. I had to recreate all my groups, but a small price to pay to get my addresses syncing again to my iPod.
    I think one of the address files may have become corrupt, POSSIBLY after my iPod appeared to be stuck during a sync one time, but I later discovered that there was a sync dialogue box hidden behind iTunes waiting for my response. Problems seemed to start after that.

  • Quicktime and itunes problem

    when i try to uninstall quicktime it says that there is a fatal error and wont uninstall! anyone know what i can do to get quick time completely off my computer? ive tried deleting the two files and all that. when i install the new itunes, i try to open it and it just says a error has happend and itunes must close thats all. anyone have any ideas would be great thanks

    I'm having issues with Quicktime as well. I tried downloading iTunes 7. Got that done, rebooted, didn't work. Said I needed quicktime 7.1.3 - so i went to the site to download the new quicktime + iTunes. Quicktime is working, I checked for updates - says there are no updates available. iTunes is STILL telling me it won't run without quicktime 7.1.3 - quicktime is telling me that I already HAVE version 7.1.3.
    I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling several times, the same error keeps happening. I would give up if I hadn't already spent so much money on iTunes in the previous version. Really the only reason I want it is for the easy way to backup my iTunes... that and I no longer have the old version, new version deleted it. headesks Help please?

  • Red Light and iTunes problems! Please help!

    My macbook is a little more than a year old. Just recently a little red light came on inside the headphone jack and the internal speakers will not work any longer.
    Well, I searched online and read about the "switch" that sometimes gets thrown off or whatever. I've tried locating this switch with a toothpick and small metal rod, but I can't find it. If I hold the metal rod in a certain way, the light will go off momentarily. And if I hold the headphone jack in a certain way, the internal speakers will work momentarily.
    And just recently, iTunes has started acting up. I play a song, and it will play through the speakers. I take the plug to the speakers out of my macbook and plug it back in, and iTunes will not play the song. It states that it is playing, but no sound is coming out of the speakers that had just worked prior to unplugging them. I have to restart iTunes for it to work.
    I can't afford to send my Macbook in.
    Please Help!
    =(

    Now, on top of all of this, I have to jiggle the headphone switch around to even get full sound; otherwise sound only comes out of one side
    Someone please help
    I can neither afford to call Apple, or afford to send my computer in
    And it's been a little over a year since I've had it
    This is seriously horrible, horrible customer service
    I'm extremely disappointed
    I've never been rough with my macbook. I take the headphone plug out one day and this happens
    Please help!!!

  • Just switched from pc to mac book and itunes not what it used to be

    I just made the switch. I used an external hard drive that I was using anyway to hold my itunes library to move my music and itunes content over to the new computer. When I restarted itunes with existing ipod, the itunes set up was different. I had two different play lists; one on itunes and one set that pops up when ipod is connected. very strange. I just purchased an iphone and I am having a real dandy getting the music to sync onto the phone. I think it started with the transition.....
    I hope this is clear as mudd! thanks for any advice or assistance!

    When you swap you have to remake your playlists I think. i don't have an iPhone so i can't help there sorry.

  • Quicktime 7 and ITunes Problems

    I am a newbie and I downloaded the Quicktime 7 and Itunes 5.0 package. It installed correctly, but it won't let me open Itunes. It says I have Quicktime 6.5 and that I need QT 7 to run Itunes 5. Do I have to uninstall QT 6.5 before the QT7 download? I am at a loss. Someone please help!

    I upgraded all three downloads - iTunes, Safari and QuickTime and was unable to open iTunes after install. I read through some of these suggestions ans I installed QuickTime again, but chose the second option -- WITHOUT iTunes. I did not UNINSTALL anything. And after doing this I was able to access iTunes again.
