My mac won't sync with my new nano it says I need to have OS X version 10.6.8 or later, when I try to update i tunes it says it is up to date

Help

The iMacs covered in this forum were made before 2006 and have PowerPC processors. Those processors cannot support any higher Mac OS than 10.5.8.
If the bad forum lableing has led you here by mistake and you may have a newr processor, let's verify your machine's family. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get a window like this:
Note the "Processor line (second red arrow):
<> If is includes the word "Intel" as above, you can upgrade to 10.6.x by purchasing a US$20 disk from Apple
<> If it includes the word "PowerPC" you can upgrade no higher than OS 10.5.8.
If you have an Intel iMac, let us know and I can get you moved to that forum--it's more active. Also, here is the web link for ordering 10.6 if you have an Intel iMac:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Newer iMacs can but updated farther, but require 10.6.6 minimum to have access to the App Store where upgrades are now delivered. If you have an Intel iMac, we will need to get more info to see exactly how far you can upgrade. That can wait, though.

My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
thanks

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

My friend gave me his old touch, however it won't sync with my new mac but it charges the itouch so i was wondering how i could sync it to my iTunes.

Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

ITunes on my Mac Mini won't sync with my iPod nano. Any suggestions

Does anyone know why my iTunes won't sync with my iPod nano. When I follow all the directions, the last step says "Click on Apply", but there is no "Apply" on the screen.

Double check to make sure podcasts and configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.

You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
I have done all of that but not luck. That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok. I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised. I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

v10.5.8 is as far as Mac OS X Leopard can be upgraded to.
To run the latest version of iTunes you will need to upgrade to either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion.

My new ipod nano won't sync with my new itunes?

I have purchased a new ipod nano and for some reason it won't sync with my itunes. Please help

Make sure the Enable disk use option is NOT ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. If you do have to remove this tick mark, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower left hand corner of the window in iTunes to update the changes to your device. Then try restoring it again.

My ipods Library won't sync with the new Library

Hi, I had do erase everything off my hard drive to fix a problem with my iphone today and when I went to restore itunes, my ipod won't sync with the library. I get the message that I would need to erase everything on my ipod because its sync with another library and sync with the new library which just has the things I brought in the itunes store. I have a lot more music that the music I got in itunes. So my question is how can I copy the flies (music/videos/movies) from my ipod to the new library? Please help me. Thank You.

You erased your hard drive without making sure you had a current backup copy of your music?
You can try a 3rd party program to get the music off ( this is not supported by Apple).
You can also try a forum search ( right side of this page), as this is asked and answered very often.
Zevoneer ( a fellow itunes user) does a great job explaining the options.

Contacts won't sync with my new MacBook (The operation couldn't be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.))

Hello everyone.
I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, running OS X Mavericks) as my first Mac, so maybe it is really easy but I cannot figure it out myself.
I am really satisfied with the product, the only thing that is bugging me is that the built-in Contacts App won't sync my existing iCloud contacts.
It's working fine on my iPhone and iPad but it does not seem to be working with the MacBook. At first I thought maybe it could use a reboot. That didn't work. Next I deleted the iCloud account from the Mac, rebooted again, entered my account data and opened contacts again. Still nothing even after waiting 10 minutes.
Then I found this nice option "Show Last Import". And behind the "iCloud" group I noticed a little exclamation mark. After I clicked on it I was presented the following error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.)"
I don't really know what to do with this error since google and other search engines did not deliver a resolution to this problem which worked...
Is my iCloud broken or something? Everything is working fine so far with my other devices (iPad, iphone, icloud-website, even my Windows PC at work can sync the contacts :-/)
I hope you can provide me a solution because I am out of ideas myself

So for me I found a solution after hours of searching. Surprisingly it is in another thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19223886#19223886
Problem solved with a lot of help from Apple Support. After upgrading to ML, I still had all my contacts in iCloud and on the iPhone, but not on the iMac and the MacBook.
1) We have set up a temporary second iCloud account for me.
2) On my iPhone, I signed out of iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
3) On the two Macs I signed out of iCloud and had everything deleted.
4) I signed the iPhone up with the new iCloud account and synced all contacts into that one.
5) With Safari I opened the online interface of my original iCloud account and manually deleted all contacts.
6) On my iPhone, I signed out of the temporary iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
7) On my iPhone, I signed into my original iCloud account and waited for the contacts to sync.
8) On the two Macs I signed into my original iCloud account and everything was okay again.
So have my contacts back, but we do not really know what was wrong.
As the original author said, I had no idea what exaclty was wrong but somehow it's working.
I'm not using any Google contacts so unfortunately I can't help you with that.

Please help.

Sorry iOS 8 requires iTunes 12 (or iTunes 11.4 – I'm not sure if that was for the iOS beta only).
http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/09/apples-itunes-114-update-for-os-x-mave ricks-adds-ios-8-support
There isn't much you can do to sync with this Mac. I think you will want to use iCloud for backup & simpy restrict yourself to downloading, installing apps & music from the iTunes & App store on the device.
I suppose you could try installing libimobiledevice to use the command line (Terminal) to pair & sync - but that is probably beyond what you want to do & requires compiling code by hand. It may not work without the newer iTunes anyway.
You need to update your OS & iTunes or get a different iOS device. I suspect your Mac is PowerPC, which may mean you are stuck on 10.5.8.

1 file in iTunes on Mac won't sync with iPhone 3GS

I have one big mp3 file (around 100 MB) that's in iTunes 9.2.1 on my Macbook that won't automatically sync with my iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1).
When I turn 'manage manually' on, I can drag this file to the iPhone and that does work.
But when I turn 'manage manually' off again, the next sync this file is removed again from my iPhone.
Any ideas how to solve this? I removed the file from iTunes and reloaded it back in, but no luck.

Thanks. I checked that already and the weird thing is, that is says 'Music' there, but in list view in iTunes it's ranked under 'Podcast' (in the Artist column). When I imported the file in iTunes, it was correctly categorized under the right artistname (not in 'Podcast'), but after syncing with my iPhone it was suddenly categorized as a podcast.
Weird...

IPhone won't sync with my new laptop

I've just invested in a new Macbook Pro but its not letting me sync my iPhone to it because "it can only be synced with 1 iTunes library" Is there no way to transfer over the iTunes library from my old laptop to this one?

Copy the iTunes library from your old computer to your new one. There are multiple ways to do this. Transferring it via the iPhone is NOT one of them. The iPhone is not a backup, or data transfer device.

IPhone won't sync with my new HP Windows laptop.

iPhone 5, Black, 16GB, IOS 8.1.3
I recently purchased a new laptop and installed iTunes right away! the problem is, a few min after I have connected my iPhone and it is supposed to be syncing music to the laptop, it keeps popping up with Error -54. which i guess just means it can't sync? So i uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes again several times and i still get the same message except only now it shows up in my music library but when you click on it, it skips to the next available song automatically. What do i do and how do i fix this?

My Iphone won't sync with my new computer

I recently lost my hard drive on my old computer. I have authorized my phone on my girl friends computer which uses windows XP, but when I go to transfer songs from her library on ITunes I get a message that it will wipe all the music off my phone and replace with her library. I have tried to manually transfer the songs but get the same message when I try to change any of the setting for syncing.
I have over 900 songs that I have purchased over the years from other services and do not want to loose these songs. Can anyone help?! This is becoming very frustrating!!
Thanks in advance.

" when I go to transfer songs from her library on ITunes I get a message that it will wipe all the music off my phone and replace with her library"
That is true.
" I have tried to manually transfer the songs but get the same message when I try to change any of the setting for syncing."
True also.
Iphohe will sync or manually manage with one and only one itunes library at a time. Syncing or manually managing to another, will indeed erase the current content. This has always been the way the iphone works.
"I have over 900 songs that I have purchased over the years from other services and do not want to loose these songs."
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put the music on another computer.
