HT2311 i currently have mac os x and cannot download itunes because it say that i need to have 10.5 or more so i can have itunes please help because i need itunes badly than you

I hace a mac os x and doesnt let me install itunes because there's a message that tells me that i need 10.5 or more please help...and tell me what i need to buy or download so i can have itunes asap thanks

Okay, now we are getting somewhere.  With a Core2Duo you can upgrade to at least Snow Leopard, and you will need Snow Leopard at least if you want to upgrade further.
1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575  This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac (yours is) and has at least 1GB RAM (more is recommended).  To check RAM, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac". Now continue to "More Info...".  It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
2) Apple no longer carries 10.6 in its stores or online. Telephone Apple to purchase a Snow Leopard disc. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Further upgrade options:
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.

    i dont know how to deinstall itunes ...i dont have the iconbelow so i cannot drag it and i cant find it...i can only find itunes 9.2  but doesnt let me open it because it says that i have a newer version which i cannot open either because my computer is 10.4 and i need an older version...thats why i downloaded 9.2 and now it doesn't let me because somewghere in the computer theres a newer one
    please help

    This is not a QuickTime issue so this was not the best forum in which to take up this question, but if you have only Mac OS X 10.4.x on your computer, you cannot install any version of iTunes later than 9.2.1, which you can download here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    Note that you will need to have updated your iMac to Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    If you need a newer version of iTunes, you will need to upgrade your system to at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 which would allow you to install iTunes 10.6.3. If you have a new iPhone 5 or iPad that requires iTunes 10.7, you will need Mac OS X 10.6. Neither Mac OS X 10.5 nor 10.6 are a free upgrade.

    Dear Madam/ Sir.

    Please help me.

    You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
    Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

    Since this is a user-to-user support forum, there isn't much we can do other than refer you to the following instructions and as noted in the instructions, then to Apple Support if you can't reset as shown in the instructions: If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • I am not able to use my account because it says that something went wrong with my billing info., but i do not have a credit card but it says i do. I put $15 itunes card on it today and now apple is not letting me use it.

    This is the second time I have had a problem with my account. I am extremely frustrated with it. A while ago I was not able to purchase anything including free apps. At that time I had an outstanding balance. Which had been from using a visa card on my account. I was then told to purchase iTunes cards which would be able to pay it. It then automatically took of the money for the balance that it needed. So I thought okay problem solved. Then for about a month or two I was able to buy music and apps. Now on April 8th, 2012 I am not able to buy anything again after I put a 15 dollar iTunes card on it. It is saying that my account had been opened on another device/ computer. But I use my computer for my account too.

  • I have Firefox 3.6 and cannot download Quicktime Plug-In 7.6.6 to update Quicktime. Please let me know how I can do this?

    I currently have QuickTime Plug-In 7.6.3 and been asked to update the latest version of QuickTime from the Apple Website. I tried to manually load QuickTime Plug-In 7.6.6 to Firefox and it wouldn't let me do this. A .window came up on my MAC and told me that I had QuickTime X on my hard drive. I currently have a MacBook Pro and it has the Snow Leopard Operating System

    If you're running the latest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.4 as of today), you are fine. This is a FF bug.
    To be certain, double-click on your hard drive icon and go to the following folder: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Do a "Get Info" on the "Quicktime Plugin" and see what version is stated. Most likely, it's version 7.6.6, in which case you have the latest version.
    I spent the past 10 mins trying to figure out how to report this, but I gave up. Hopefully, other people having this problem find this discussion and don't waste their time trying to fix something that isn't broken.
    Edit: OK, just found Bugzilla in the "Community" section for reporting bugs. Makes no sense to me that there isn't a link in the "Support" section for this, but that's just me, I guess.

  • I can not get Firefox to reset to normal size. I have tried everything including reinstalling it. Only some webpages like Facebook are large & it will not reset but in IE it is normal. Please help because I hate IE & really do not want to use it!

    When I open Facebook and a few other webpages the screen size is large and some of the info will not appear. I have tried everything to reset the size and it does not work. I have even zoomed out and the missing info still does not appear. But if I log into IE it is just fine and all the info is there and is useable. I hate IE and do not want to use it so please help me fix this issue with Firefox.

    CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.

  • HT204053 Hello l bought second hand iphone 4 and l cant Log in lclood because System says that l reach max number of free Apple accounts so how can l erase old accounts that l dont know ???

    You can't erase or delete iCloud accounts, you can only stop using them.  If the previous owner already created the maximum number of iCloud accounts on your phone, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one.

    Have you checked the Apple support site? If not, take a look at this -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    If you've used some progam with your iPod that wasn't made by Apple, it might have modified the host file.

    You will need to restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
