ITunes 10.2.1 not installing

Hello
I'm trying to download the latest iTunes, should be very simple. I click 'Check For Updates' in iTunes and it tells me there is a new version available - 10.2.1 - and asks if I want to download it now. I click to download it now and the Software Update window appears, checks for new software, and tells me that there are no new updates to report. Even though I've just been told there is.
So I went to the iTunes website and downloaded 10.2.1 but when I click to install it says:
"Couldn't open "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5."
My Mac OS X is version 10.4.11. So I go to Software Update and it checks for new software and then tells me again that my software is totally up-to-date and there are nothing new to report.
I've done this about twelve times, restarting the computer after every attempt. What's going on?! I got an iPod Touch today for my birthday but have spent most of the afternoon frustratedly scrolling through reams of useless troubleshooting guff.
Can I only operate the iPod when I've installed it with the latest iTunes? It won't do anything until then?

Simple as that eh? Cough up yet more cash for an upgrade. Righto, thanks very much. Surely that could have been made clear by the MacHelp and Apple troubleshooting guides, would've saved me several hours' frustration. Thanks again.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • ITunes 10.1 will not install.

    iTunes 10.1 will not install regardless of which installer I use. With all of them I get an error message to close iTunes (which is closed) and just before the end of the install it stops. I have tried several times with each installer with the same results.

    try the procedure suggested in [this|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12581713&#12581713] thread.

    You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
    But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

    Not to worry. The package downloaded by Software Update seemed to be b0rken.
    I fixed it like this:
    Download iTunes 9.0.2 here:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iTunes9/061-7197. 20091029.tnz9f/iTunes9.0.2.dmg
    That disk image unpacks an .mpkg (meta package) whereas Software Update downloaded a folder containing packages. Looks like it just unpacked on download instead of install.

  • This Copy of iTunes is corrupted or not installed properly

    Ran software update and now iTunes shows as v 9.0, but when I run I get the error; This copy of iTunes is corrupted or not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I've gone to the download link on Apple's iTunes web page. The 82.8MB file is downloading as 110MB and when I double click on the .dmg file to open, I get a warning: The following disk images couldn't be opened iTunes9.dmg error -4960.
    Anyone else?
