Is it possible to update itunes without getting Mavericks? I have an issue with my iPhone.

I recently updated to ios8.0.2 for my iphone 5s. And now when I plug it into my macbook, itunes prompts me to update itunes because ios8 apparently doesn't allow me to sync the previous version of itunes. But the new itunes requires updating to Mavericks, which I really DO NOT want to do, mostly because I do run Bootcamp a lot and start up in windows from time to time. I've heard people having issues with bootcamp and Mavericks, like having to re install Windows/Parallels/etc. and I am not ready for that mess. I don't have access to my windows 7 serial number anymore (it was given to me by a teacher awhile back with whom I don't have contact with anymore). I'm just ultimately trying to avoid screwing up bootcamp/windows, losing files, and having to purchase windows if the worst case scenario happens.
I considered just using itunes in windows, but on the windows side of things, itunes wont give me the notification/option to transfer all my purchases from my iphone, so there goes that. If there is a solution to just transferring purchases, I'd much rather go that route than the mess of mavericks.

I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8? Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

I can't update iTunes without an upgrade of OS? Unable to connect iPhone 4??

Okay, seriously.
I have been having issues with my phone and I finally just got it to work again and I decided now would be a good time to back it up. However on plugging it in (I updated to iOS 7 yesterday) I was instructed that I needed to upgrade to iTunes 11. When I attempted to download it, I was then told that I needed to UPGRADE to OS 10.6.8 where as I am running 10.5.8.
Does this actually mean that I can no longer connect my iPhone?

that's correct. new software = new compatibility. luckily for you, there is a solution (unlike others).
purchase 10.6.8

Updated itunes, ipod and now i have playlist issues.

just upgraded to OS X (5.8). then upgraded ipod to os 4.2. then updated itunes to 10. now i am having interesting issues when i plug the ipod into the computer. of course, everything on the ipod music was wiped out. so i had to sync back all the music. but now i cannot make any playlists when i plug in the ipod. i can only make playlists in itunes on the computer. this is not right. i made several playlists on my ipod before. when i hit the file drop down menu, none of the playlist options are highlighted when i have the ipod selected. what has happened or what do i need to do???

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Update iTunes 7.3.2 and now sync issues with AppleTV

I knew it, I installed the latest upgrade as it said it solved some issues with iPhone Activation etc and added stability, well Apple is very stable, so stable it does not sync anymore with iTunes.
I tried removing and reconnecting it to iTunes, this at first seemed to help, but the sync stopped after 10 minutes...
Anyone else have issues?

I would have to agree Capaho because I tried everything before...
Well its official, after trying every troubleshooting tip & talking to tech support which sent me some more help info. My ATV is dead. I thought I had a revelation on what could be done to fix it but I was horribly wrong...I unplugged the unit for the 15th time to reset it and when I plugged it back in I heard the pop, and ATV was on its way to the Great Gigabyte in the sky.
I bought the unit July 5th. It now sits in the bottom of my trash can...funny thing is Im gona waste another $400. I cant find my receipt and it doesnt matter cuz even tho it was efed before it "popped" i still get blamed for user error.

This leads me to another dialog box that says: The file .......is not a valid installation package for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation package iTunes64.msi in a folder from which you can install iTunes.
That doesn't work either. What to do?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello Sonni,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:
Burning disc in iTunes for Windows using a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive fails with 4280 error
http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38101
If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

HT1338 trying to update iTunes but get a corrupt message

trying to update iTunes but get a corrupt message

How are you trying to update, via Software Update for from the standalone iTunes installer? And when does this error message appear and what exactly does it say?

Updating iTunes without Internet Connection

I just got a new Nano and it didn't come with any disks or anything.
When I plug it in it asks if I want to upgrade, then says that the iPod isn't compatible for such an update.
If I choose not to upgrade it continues, looks as if the songs are going on but they actually don't.
However, I can see via "Settings" on my iPod that the memory space has been taken up by "Other" but no songs are on it. Very strange??
I can't update my iTunes because I don't have internet connection on my laptop. Is there some sort of disk I could get instead to update it to iTunes 9???
Any help much appreciated!!

Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes.
Yes, you can. Download the iTunes installer on any computer that has Internet access. Then copy that installer to any removable medium - flash drive, CD/DVD etc. You can then take the installer to your computer and use it to update your copy of iTunes.
do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that?
No, you don't have to uninstall iTunes before updating (at least not unless something goes wrong).
Note that there may be issues with an iPhone - registering, updating, etc. - if your computer doesn't have Internet access. I don't have an iPhone so I'm not sure.
Regards.

Updating iTunes without an internet connection

Hi,
I just got my iPhone, but my version of iTunes is outdated and so I can't use it with the phone. It's a long, long story, but I'm without an internet connection for a few months.
Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes, or do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that? Or is there another way?
Yeah, in case you haven't guessed, I'm not exactly clued up on computers so go easy, please.
Thanks

Updated itunes and getting errors messages: iTunes.exe-Entry Point Not Found

After updating itunes, I get the message iTunes.exe-Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic library AVFoundationCF.dll.
Then another error message tells me: iTunes not installed correctly. Please reinstall. Error 7 (Windows error 127). I've tried to repair which looks successful until I try the desktop shortcut as well as going into the exe file in program files. Still the same message. Operating a windows XP service pack 3 with 32 bit. Help would be most appreciated.--No problems with itunes until this recent update.

iTunes.exe-Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic library AVFoundationCF.dll.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Please help...need to get newest update so I can activate my new IPhone4. Thanks

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
