Itunes says I need itunes 11.1 version or later on my iphone before it will recognise the iphone. How do I update itunes on my iphone or is it a computer problem?

I have been trying to sync/back up my iphone and ipad but iTunes is saying I need to update my iphone to version 11.1 or later. I thought my phone was up to date and I can't seem to update iTunes on my phone anyway. Does anyone know how to update iTunes on my phone or is it a computer problem? I've been having problems with iTunes on my PC so I re-installed it but it's been a nightmare trying to get it to work.
This is the message I receive says " The iphone 'iPhone' cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com.au to download the latest version of iTunes". I get a similar one for my iPad too.
When I go to the website I can only find the download for my PC but not the iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

No, your iPhone i s telling you that you need iTunes 11.1 or greater on your computer in order to sync with the computer.

Then you should fix this issue with iTunes before you try to sync your iPhone to it.
See this -> Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

    Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
    I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.  
    Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
    It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
    Well, that's about it..
    I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
    Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.

  • I can't update my 3gs iPhone through itunes as it says I need to download latest versions which I've done so I'm in a loop. I'm using a Macbook Pro 10.5.8

    Ahhh, the mysteries of software updating...glad it is working for you now.  Sometimes you just have to be persistent until iTunes figures out you aren't going to go away.
    So, are you now updating the iPhone to iOS 5.0.1?
    If you already have 5.0 and a wireless connection you don't need to use iTunes to update to 5.0.1...the wireless update only means a file of about 38 MB, while via iTunes it is the entire iOS and about 730 MB...big time difference.
    Hope all goes well for you.

    You need Snow Leopard before you can go to Lion...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements...

    What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
    The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
    An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded  to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.

  • HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

    Hi sharonpalencia, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information. 
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

    I am getting some update that says I need to have geno as my home page and down load something else on the computer to run the maverick os system. Is this you or some hacker

    Is your iMac running okay? Where are you getting this update from? Especially if it is an e-mail, I would not do what the 'update' is suggesting.
    Your profile shows you are running Mavericks. If everything is okay, then it would appear to me you don't need to download something to run Mavericks.

    Pages 5 requires OSX 10.9, for some reason that only Apple knows. Many users will not be able to install Mavericks on their Macs or do not want to.
    It has simultaneously removed iWork '09/Pages '09 from the App Store.
    You could ask Apple why it does things like this, but it doesn't say.
    If you don't already have iWork '09 I believe you can still purchase it from Amazon.

  • HT204152 I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.many times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

    i want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?
    Thank you

    Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
    The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

    To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

  • Do I need to keep old versions of CS on my PC in order to have the most recent work properly?

    I recently started a new position and plesently found my work station already set up with Creative Suite 5.5, but then saw CS 4 and CS 3 as well. When I asked IT why they were all there, the response was that upgrades build off of one another. If we were to uninstall 4 and 3, 5.5 wouldn't work.
    Now, this isn't my first time around the block... I've never done this in the past in any other position. In fact, I remember how much work it was to install the new software and then uninstall the old, frequently running into problems along the way.
    Is my new IT department right? Or can I uninstall the older versions in the hopes that my computer works faster/better?
    Thanks!

    Hi HeatherSenger,
    It is not necessary to have old version of Creative suite already installed in your machine. You can uninstall the old version form your computer and there will not be any problem.
    When you buy an upgrade of any creative suite let say for example if you buy an upgrade for CS6 from CS5.
    You start the installation of CS6 and it will ask for the serial number --- the moment you enter the serial number for the CS6 upgrade it will ask for the serial number for the previous qualifying version which could be CS5 or any eligible old version
    After entering both the keys it will continue the installation.
    So you just need to have the serial numbers of the both versions at the time of installation.
    Thanks
    Kapil
