IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. (CAN'T DOWNLOAD VERSION 10.6.3!)
After downloading the new IOS 6 update for my iphone 4, my phone will not connect to my itunes on my laptop and a message pops up and states: "The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". I can't find the 10.6.3 itunes anywhere to download and I cannot download the 10.7 version because my Mac is the 10.5.8 version. What can I do? I do not want to pay for an update for my computer- I wish I had never updated my phone in the first place so I wouldn't have this problem.
I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
These are the error messages in order.
1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
Thanks so much in advance.

IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later
I have a user who is trying to use her iPhone 3 with her MacBook Pro. She is running Lion and has the latest version of iTunes installed (version 11.0 or whatever the new one is). When she plugs her phone into her computer a message pops up on her computer screen:
"The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
We have ensure that all the software on her computer is up to date and this still keeps popping up. Please help!
Thanks!Restart the Mac and try again.
You can always re download iTunes here > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
No need to uninstall the currently installed copy of iTunes before doing so.
The latest version of iTunes available is v11.0.4
With iTunes open, from the menu bar click iTunes > About iTunes
That will tell you the currently installled version. -
My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!
If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

The iPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone
You must be referring to OS X 10.6.4, because there is no iTunes version 10.6.4. You can download iTunes 10.6.3 here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Any reason why you have not updated to OS X 10.6.8? If you did, you could then run iTunes 11.0.1. -
when i connect my phone to itunes it saysThe iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later and i just downloaded the latest version
Julie, there seems to be some snafu with the updater, so go here https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575 and get the download directly. That should do the trick.

When connecting my iPhone I get the following message "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. What does this mean? My computer has 10.4.
That's an issue with your system. Try removing the iTunes and the other APPLE software related from your system and reinstall it again.
Follow this if you're using XP: support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
I just purchased the iphone 4S and want to connect to itunes to move my backup onto the new phone but when I plug the new one in it says - The iPhone "iphone" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 10.5 or later. The iphone 4S has the latest everthing??? Why am I not able to connect to itunes?
My MAC is app. 2yrs old.You need to update your version of iTunes. Ios5 is only supported by iTunes 10.5 meaning, an older version of iTunes is not compatible. You can download the newest version free via iTunes or apple .com but I would recommend going to the top left cornner of you screen, click the apple and choose "software update". iTunes 10.5 was an update that came out earlier this week and by doing this you can see if any thing else needs updating and it will do it automatically.

This is getting so frustrating, I last synced my iphone in september and it worked fine, as i've just imported a new cd I wanted to sync to get it on my phone - anybody help to get a more uptodate software on my iphone, please
iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.

Cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.
I updated my phone and now when I try and update my podcasts, etc I get this message:
The iPhone “John Mott’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
When I try and update iTunes it tells me I'm up to date.
How do I fix it?
Why did I update? I use Apple because MS always does this. C'mon already!I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.

I just bought an iPhone 5, and tried to sync it to my iTunes account but when connected it says: “...cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later.” However when I try to get iTunes to update it says: “This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version.” Can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference. -
I have a problem with connecting my iPhone to iTunes. I uninstalled one of the computer program and restart my laptop. After restart my laptop and a message said that iTunes might not working because one of the component is missing and request to reinstall the iTunes. Hence I remove iTunes from my laptop and I reinstall iTunes to my laptop but still not working.
Before this the iTunes will automatically launch when I plug in my iPhone. But after I reinstall iTunes, it's not working. When I try to plug in my iPhone after iTunes launched and message "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." popped out. I did this twice but it's not working as well.
Please advise what should I do to fix this.First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -

When I plug in my iphone 4S to my 64-bit computer a error box comes up in my 64-bit itunes that reads (This iphone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove itunes, than install the 64-bit version of itines.) This just started a few weeks ago. I've done a system restore on my computer, deleated and reinstalled the 64-bit itunes several times, did a registery clean, rebooted. Nothing seems to work it will not pick up my phone.
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I restored my iPhone 3 g to its factory settings and I tryed to connect it to iTunes on my laptop and it said This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the installer to remove iTunes. Then install iTunes again. HELP!! PLEASE!! Because I cannot get on my iPhone!!
Hi, Mommacat26.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This usually means that a required component is missing. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.
