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 macbook pro needs to be updated but when going to the software update it says there are no updates. its incredibly behind.

    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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

  • HT1351 I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes.  All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos.  It said that they were in the wrong format.  What to do??

    I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes.  All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos.  It said that they were in the wrong format.  What to do??   I would have thought if I bought the films from itunes it would be compatible with an ipod classic??  How do you change the video format?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

    Contact yor carrier. Your carrier may have some Mobile Insurance that you pay a certain amount per month to insure your device. Most carriers require you have the device less than 30 days in order to insure it. If your carrier is AT&T, AT&T has mobile insurance for only $6.99 per month. AT&T has open enrollment for their mobile insurance now. So anyone has an AT&T line can get insurance coverage for their device.

  • TS3694 I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

    Hi nprguy,
    It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation. 
    I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
    The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
    "Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software

    Thanks.

  • I have just bought a new laptop, i am trying to sync my songs on my iphone to my itunes, but it says i can only sync with 1 itunes, any way round this?

    iv just bought a new laptop, i am trying to sync my songs on my iphone to my itunes, but it says it can only be sync with 1 itunes, any way around this?

    The iPhone like all iDevices is not a storage device, it is merely a mirror of the content in the library to which it is synced.
    If you wish to sync to a new computer, the first step is to copy or move the iTunes media library from the old computer to the new computer.  This can be done via the network or by using an external hard drive.
    Once the library has been moved, simply sync to the new computer.
