My itunes won't update; therefore, I can't sync my music to iphone

When I open itunes, a message pops up that there is an updated version and asks me if I want to download it.  I click download, the message disappears, and then nothing.  I currently have version 11.04.4.  When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me it won't do it because it requires version 11.1 or higher.  I have tried going to apple.com and clicking the download for the itunes update, but that doesn't seem to work either.  It says I downloaded it, but as far as I can tell, I didn't because I keep getting the same message in itunes that an updated version of itunes is available and asks me if I want to download it.  I have checked to see if my pop-up blocker is too sensitive.  As far as I can tell, it's set on "low."  I am not computer savvy at all.  Can someone please help?

I realize this is a dumb question, but as I said, I am not computer savvy.  After the download was complete, no pop-up box occurred prompting the install, so as you said, I clicked on start to try to search for the download of it.  What do I look for to find the download of the new itunes version?  I am embarrassed to be so dumb about this and appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

  • My yahoo email won't update therefore I can't receive or send any emails

    My yahoo email account won't update I have tried turning my phone off but no luck, also says cannot get mail the connection to the server failed, also when I am trying to add this email account to my iPad it also says this email account may not be able to send or receive emails.
    Can anyone help with this issue please.
    Thanks Lisa

    You need to verify your settings with Yahoo. The error that you identify for the phone is for the incoming server, which shows you are not connecting to the server, for whatever reason.
    The iPad error just seems like the account is just not verifying with Yahoo at all. I would check with Yahoo and see if there is a problem with your account.

  • Can't sync all music to iPhone ?

    Hello all
    I'm currently trying to sync my music which is a total of 2358 tracks to my iPhone 5 (6.0.1)
    However when updating my music to my iPhone it only syncs 2331 songs (not a massive differance but still annoying)
    So far I have: restored my phone from scratch, deleted all music from the phone and rebooted. checked for updates on both iTunes and iPhone. Restored from a back up and tried dragging and dropping the missing tracks. I've tried the obvious of just pressing the Sync button on the music tab as well. I've made sure that its not syncing only ticked tracks and made sure that the new tracks wern't CP protected. I do work for another tech company so I deal with troubleshooting all the time but I'm baffled by this one!

  • Can't sync all Music to iphone 4s

    when i look on my iphone i am missing albums that i have on my actual library.
    i have my whole library ticked and each and every song, i removed all music off it and tryed syncing it again and it popped up saying '36 items could not be synced. see iTunes for more information' then when i open ituns it doesn't give me any information whatsoever
    please help, if it helps i restored my phone from icloud around 4 days ago when i got a new iphone due to warranty.

    Unless you've got the iPhone working in manual mode, you can't just drag-n'drop. You need to create a playlist and then tell the iPhone to sync that play list. (If you don't just want it to sync as much music as it can).
    What's more, you can refer these articles about transferring iPhone music to iTunes:

    Hope that can help you a lot.

  • Lost iTunes with Windows update, now I can't sync iPod Touch

    My computer recently updated windows and I lost iTunes and my music library.  When I re-installed iTunes, I tried to sync my iPod but it's telling me that I am synced with another library and it wont let me transfer my music from my iPod to the music library.  It will only let me transfer purchased music.  Is there a way I can restore my old library or will I have to start fresh all over again?  It will not let me sync my iPod with my daughters either whether home-sharing is on or not.  I also tried home-sharing, it does nothing.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put verything back.

  • I can't sync my music on iPhone 4S - trying to do manually but don't get options to drag and drop .  If I uncheck everything in my library it won't remove from my iphone

    I cannot sync my 4s.  If I uncheck all items on my library it doesn't remove all music from my phone.  If I try to update manually I do not get the drag and drop options that the user guide states I should?

    Did you check "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes before you tried to drag and drop?

  • Anyone know why I can't sync my music from iphone to itunes?

    I've tried syncing my iphone to my itunes library, tried transfering them as well....no luck. The songs appear in the itunes library but have an "!" in front of them.  I've tried locating them and when I go to my computer where it says they are not there. I am up to date with downloads and have a iphone 4s and itunes is on my pc windows7. I can play them on the phone only.

    When you reinstalled iTunes, did you remove and reinstall by the exact steps listed here? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    You will need to do it that way. That would be the only thing I can think of that would be stopping the transfer of purchases. If you go into Task Manager and Services, is the Apple Mobile Device Service running? If you go into Device manager when the phone is connected, do you see the Apple Device Driver listed under USB devices? Have you tried disconnecting the phone and then rebooting the computer, then doing a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots and the computer reboots, connect them again?

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

    Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • ITunes won't update, unistall or re-install.

    iTunes won't update or unistall. When I try, it says the installer source doesn't exist. When I tried to just reinstall it fresh, it says the old versions of Bonjour, iTunes and Quicktime can't be removed. Any solution for any of this?

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
