Itunes error says phone can't be updated because it doesn't have ITunes 11.1 or later

Ever since updating to ioS 7.0.2, I am getting an error message that says my phone cannot be used because it has an older version of Itunes. How do I fix this? I don't see a place to update just the Itunes software. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi hannijin,
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have. For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

Although your message isn't mentioned in the symptoms, let's try the following document with that one:

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

* Install the new version that you have downloaded

When I connect my new iPhone 4s to the computer and iTunes is running, I am advised that a new update is available, but when I download it, I am informed that my phone can not be updated because it has an incompatible hardware

When I connect my new iPhone 4s to the computer, iTunes informs me that there is an update avaialble and I procceed to download only to be told that my phone has incompatible hardware so cannot be updated. Any advice please

Hi, I just re-downloaded the update, but instead of telling it to download and install, I just clicked on download only. This is a 813 mb file and I am on limited broadband usage. I did it this way thinking that I would get a chance to see the exact wording when it tried to install, however, I have no idea how to try and install the file now and when I came to click on the iphone symbol on itunes, the download diassapeared, where to I have no idea. I can't afford to download it again, and besides it takes approximately three hours to download it in any case, so all I can remember is that the error message stated that it couldn't update because the phones hardware was not compatible.

I have an apple ID and password but my ipad is broken and they say they can't get in because they don't have my i cloud password. I never set one up and don't know what one is

My I pad broke after only a few months and now they won't mend it as they say they can't get in as my i cloud password not working. I never even set one up? I have an apple id and password but that's not enough for them to get in.

Welcome to the Apple community.
It's your Apple ID and password they want.

TS1702 App Store says I can't download updates because I am on the US site.

My pad apps show 3 updates are awaiting download. When I try to do this I get a message that I need to go to the UK site but how? There is nothing to take me there?. I have already downloaded 2 apps in the last 24 hours without trouble. I am puzzled.

You do not see this when you follow the steps above? If not, go to the App Store and swipe to the bottom of the screen in the Featured Tab. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in again and see if that corrects the problem.

Hey guys, I keep getting this error when I try to empty the trash. There's a folder that I haven't been able to delete for few months now. How can I empty the trash?
Please help me.

Okay. Make sure you have a current back up.
Open your Terminal application. Type "Terminal" in spotlight and it will show up. Enter the following bolded command below. Triple click it, copy it, and paste it into the prompt. Hit return. Enter the command exactly as it appears below. When prompted for your administrative password, type it in. Once the command completes, type "exit" and quit the terminal.
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
If you aren't comfortable using the terminal or entering this command, ignore this suggestion.

Can't move any files... "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."

This is a strange one... I just recently did a complete format/reinstall of Lion because of very poor performance after upgrading.
So I'm on a totally fresh system, no TimeMachine restore or anything. I've installed all my apps from scratch - no prefrence file backups or anything. Everything is fresh.
Yesterday I tried to copy a file from one folder to another and I got the error "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items". Checked file permissions... repaired disk permissions... made sure I was logged in as admin (I only have one account)... everything looks good.
This is now happening when trying to copy any files anywhere on my machine... Very frustrating.
There's a couple strange side-effects I've noticed:
- I can move & copy files just fine in terminal... without sudo...
- The little lock icon in the bottom right of the Get Info window doesn't do anything - I can't unlock it. I can still edit the permissions for the file/folder but I can't select the "apply to enclosed items..." option.
Does anybody know what the heck is going on?

Try creating a new admin user account, logging into it, and then creating some new items on the Desktop and elsewhere. Does the same thing happen there?
Ok the strangeness continues!
I created a new "TestAdmin" account, but it doesn't show up in the Users & Groups prefrences sidebar... The /Users/testadmin folder was created, but the account doesn't show up in the prefrences or login window...
I tried a reboot to see if the account would show up and it still doesnt.... However after the reboot I am now able to copy files again!
I'm paranoid that the problem will show up again since I have no idea what fixed it. I tried rebooting previously after repairing permissions which didn't solve the issue so it's not like I haven't rebooted since it started.
And now I have the issue of not being able to create user accounts.
A little dissapointed with Lion to be honest... the new features are cool but there are so many little bugs it really feels half-baked.

Restore from back-up now "The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges...."

My wife bought a new MBA and restored from back-up. Now when she tries to drag a photo from iPhoto into a Pages document, she get's the error "The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt". Interestingly, there is no problem dragging the photo into the finder.

What versoin of iPhoto and system are you running - 9.4.3 and 10.8 4? How did you restore from the backup? Are you able to view the photos when you double click on them in iPhoto? If not what do you see?
If I've guessed the versions correctly Apply the following fix to your library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Options #1 to repair permissions and #4 to rebuild the database.

Lion - deleting files on TC - The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.

I am trying to delete some files from my Time Capsule (2TB) but I keep getting this error:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
How do I solve this?
Thanks,
Jonathon

is the file faded and unable to be opened? i was transferring files from an old external hard drive to a time capsule, it stopped half way through and now refuses to delete the interupted folder because i dont have the correct permissions.

I have Itunes on my computer, however its an older version and it says I can no longer update it. My problem is im considering buying an Iphone 5, but if it is running on a new version what will happen when I sync it to my itunes account?

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running?

My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears. Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted. help?!

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My iPad is disabled, but I know the passcode.. When i connect it to iTunes it says it can't access it because it has a passcode. How can i get rid of the passcode without resetting the iPad? And if there is no way to do so, how do I completely reset it?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
