My MacBook and IMac won't download new iTunes 11.1?

For Christmas I received loads of CDs. I also received an iPhone 4. I have a PowerBook G4 and an older iMac model. When I went to load the new CDs onto my new phone for the first time, it came up with text saying I needed an iTunes Store update for 11.1 or up. When I went to download this on the online store it came up with another text box after I had downloaded saying I can't install it. So, I went to the iMac computer and tried this again, it did the same thing except it kept bussing and my phone kept saying do it it this computer? At the same time the computer was saying I need in lock my phone and enter the passcode- I haven't got a passcode on my phone yet. Then finally I gave up because I was getting frustrated.
It could just be because their older computer models but I want to listen to the music at school and I can only do that if it's on my phone. Is there any solution?

Hi,
It is because the computers are older models. The G4 is not compatible. How old is the imac, what's its processor and OS X?

Why did my ipod die AND I can't download new itunes?!?!

I got my ipod mini 2 years ago but just started using it (I know I am late).
I was using itunes version 5 (ignoring the update messages when I plugged it in) and then one day the music died...
Literally my ipod got a folder with a "!" icon and stopped working. Stopped charging I think too.
I tried all the things on the support pages and nothing helps.
Now all I see is a apple icon... It won't recognize the ipod om itunes.
and NOW I can't install itunes 7. I get a message saying: "Service ‘ipodService’ (ipodService) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to stop system"
Can one of you help me PLEASE! I have been traveling and no ipod = no fun
Thanks!!!

BUT it won't restore... any tips?
could you describe what happens when you try to restore?

I have Office:mac 2004 and it won't download on my new MacBook Air. Is it too old? It says PowerPC applications are no longer accepted.

I have old Office:Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition from my previous MacBook and it won't download onto my new MacBook Air via external optical drive and says that PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Am I stuck bying the newer version or is there a way around the software issue so I don't have to spend more money. Thanks for your help.

You can purchase Offce 2011 from MacMall for about $99 so it is well worth the money. As said in a previous post by Kappy, you can try one of the free office suites available. They can read Office files and can save documents in Office format. Apple's iWork is also a good ffice suite afavilable from the App Store by download. I have used Open Office,Libre Office and Neo Office and have liked each one of them. Neo Office has the closest match to Apple operating systems - it just feels like an Apple program. Open Office and Libre Office are also very good choices and dont have much of a learning curve at all.

As stated in the System Requirements, an iPhone 5 runs iOS 6. In order to sync to a computer you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later and iTunes 11 on the computer. If you can upgrade your MacBook to OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) you can purchase this version of OSX in the Apple Store. Most intel macs can run at least OSX 10.6.8. If your MacBook is a power pc Mac you are at the end of the supported operating systems and will not be able to upgrade the OSX or sync your iPhone 5.

Certain music pieces and apps won't download from my iPod to iTunes on my MacBook

I want to put what is on my iPod on my new MacBook, but certain pieces and apps won't download because my computer isn't authorized (so it will delete it from my iPod if I sync), but when it asks me to authorize it it uses an old Apple ID that doesn't exist anymore and to which I do not have access. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want to be able to sync my iPod with this computer without worrying about losing anything.

Check out this article:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Read the "iTunes and App Store Content" section, especially the "Transferring purchased content" link there.

HT1689 I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no pro

I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

You did a d/l of the iTunes .dmg - did you install by opening the .dmg and following the dialogs?

Sync Macbook and iMac

I recently purchased a new 27" iMac. I want to be able to keep my photos and music in-sync with both my new iMac and my Macbook. For example, when I am on-the-go, I want to be able to open my Macbook and if I have downloaded a new song back home from my iMac; I want it to be available on my Macbook. I know I can enable Library Sharing via iPhoto or iTunes, but that only works with both computers on and running. I want something like MobileMe, where if one thing changes, it changes it on every device. However, I have gigabytes upon gigabytes of photos and music, therefore MobileMe or DropBox aren't useful to me. Please help me. I have read in some threads about using FireWire and such, but am illiterate when it comes to how to set this up.
Thanks,
Jeremiah House

I do exactly the same thing. But it's not as easy as one would think. I like to keep my MacBook exactly like my iMac right down to the desktop.
Music - If you use iTunes you need to turn on the home share option and let them sync when they see each other. This is automatic and built into iTunes. If you do not use iTunes, then syncing of your music should be no problem with ChronoSync.
Files other then in Mail - I use ChronoSync. I have it set to sync everything I want to keep on both machines automatically. The moment each computer sees the other they sync. Usually very quickly unless I have change, added, removed a lot of files.
Mail - You need to use an IMAP system to keep all mail synced as copying the files from computer to another will not put them back into mail. Like iTunes it has it's own database engine that everything has to go through.
Contacts, Calendar, notes, widgets, dock items, keychains, mail rules, bookmarks, and preferences - If you use MobileMe to sync then do not sync any other way. It will cause havoc... If you do not use MobileMe, then there are settings in ChronoSync to sync those too.

Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop. When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows: iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
Thank you.

Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

Iphone won't download from itunes (purchases or updates) and keeps asking for password

My new Iphone 6 won't download from itunes, whether it is a new purchase, previous purchase or update. Itunes keeps asking for password. Icloud seems to be working, find my phone works, so what do I do? I've signed out and back in to the app store. Restarted my phone. Ugh!!

Why my macbook won't download latest itunes?

my mac book won't download latest itunes? why?

Have you figured this out yet? I am having the sane trouble and can't get it to load either. I updated my older MacBookPro yesterday. I downloaded Leopard and then Lion. I currently have iTunes 10. I have a brand new iPhone 4S 16G, and a brand new iPad 2 3g 64g. I went with the 16g phone because I decided to use iCloud and not store all my songs and photos in the phone. However, now I can't seem to get iTunes 10.5 so the iCloud is just an idea at this point.
When I use the upgrade to 10.5 link on Apple's home page, my screen flashes and says "Upload successful." then I go into About iTunes and see that I'm still 10. There is no iCloud in my menu and I'm stuck.
I'm a regular PC user and am trying to convert myself over to Mac once and for all. So I'm early in the learning curve on how this all works.

My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing. Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired. For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts. The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below.
When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs... Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod. If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

Lion designed for MacBooks and iMacs, not Mac Pros?

Seems to me that most of the major features of Lion only benefit folks using trackpads, which means mainly MacBook and iMac users. If you're a mouse-user all that built-in swiping and tapping is useless. To some degree, the same is true with Air Drop,great if you're mobile, but not so necessary otherwise. So, since I do 95% of my serious computer work on a Mac Pro, I see no benefit in upgrading to Lion. The only features that seem relevant are some of the lesser touted features like auto-save and maybe Mission Control, although that seems a bit meh to me.
Anyone care to tell me why I should invest $29 in this alleged upgrade?

Nostatic1
I upgraded, had a look and then decided to go back to Snow Leopard. Lion was a bit buggy for a start, but like you I have a Mac Pro, and do a lot of design type work, not as a profession though. Auto save worries me, as I want full control over when I save when designing stuff. To have to go back through lots of saved versions to get to the one I want to keep would seem to me to just be creating more work for me. As I understand it, it only works in apps that are adapted to use it, so my old CS3 would not do it, but that direction worries me if I don't have control over it.
A lot of the new features can be switched off if you don't like them, which is what I did, so why upgrade? The new iCal and Address Book are horrendous looking too!!! Gaudy is the term that comes to mind. So is the full screen version of Photo Booth. Those types of apps look OK on the iPhone, but look horribly out of place on a Mac, where they have already taken all the colour out of the program window borders to leave a pale grey. I couldn't bear to look at them, and had to replace those bits of the apps with graphics of my own.
My advice is not to do anything for at least a while. It seems that an awful lot of posts in this forum are people wanting to know how to alter Apple's defaults and to switch things off. I am hoping Apple is watching and taking notice.
It seems to me that Apple has taken the success of the iPhone and iPad as its inspiration to change the Mac. I have an iPhone and I find the apps like address book that reopen where you closed them a pain. Usually I don't want that same person again, and I have to navigate back to my groups, then out again to get to the right person. It would be much simpler to always start at groups. I cannot imagine doing serious design work with my finger on an iPad. The two should remain separate entities.
This is the first upgrade that I have reverted from in 18 years as a Mac user, and the first time I am really getting worried that Apple is going off in the wrong direction - and the first time that Steve Jobs is not at the helm. I don't have a good feeling for the future.

NY Times Application Won't Download New Content

The New York Times application on my 2nd gen. touch won't download new stories. When I hit the refresh button, the status bar "Downloading Latest News" appears, but it remains at 0%.
My other apps have no problem connecting to the internet - mail, YouTube, Safari, Joost, etc.
I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, restarting and resetting my iPod, and resetting the settings.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Wife loves to read the NYT and this was one of the primary reasons I was able to talk her into getting a touch. Have tried resetting the network setting, resetting the app, reinstalling the app, restarting the ipod between all of the above, erasing and resetting the whole ipod. Nothing works.
