Need help installing new itunes version on older mac for nano syncing

I purchased a new nano and new music, but can't get the nano sync because desktop mac is requesting me to upgrade the iTunes version.
When I do, it says "This update requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later." How does this get done?

Which exact model computer?  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

Basically you're stuck unless you can upgrade OS.  There's no other way to transfer music to the device.

  • Installing new iTunes version and won't let me advance past QuickTime

    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
    ok so I'm attempting to update my iPhone 3G to the new 3.0 software and I CANNOT install new iTunes version 8.2.0.23 because as soon as installation begins it starts running the QuickTime install and says "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed". Funny thing is....it won't let me uninstall QuickTime because it gives me the same error as mentioned before...someone PLEASE HELP ME! my phone is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen and so i'm without a phone currently. PLEASE REPLY SOON!!

    Okay. Let's try removing your existing QuickTime by other means than the "Uninstall a program" control panel.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (6) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

    Hello xtremejoe
    I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

  • Installed new iTunes version and now can't see my Appletv

    Having just installed iTunes 10.0.1.22 there is no tab in preferences to see or connect to the Appletv. Appletv syncs with my main PC running windows and a previous iTunes version.
    Any suggestions?

    Same issue here as I'm sure everyone else is dealing with.
    iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1, iTunes running 12.0.1.  Windows 8 PC  (fully updated)
    AFTER downloading iOS 8.0, previous syncs would partially sync playlist (not all songs, or just the Pic icon for video files but no video files themselves and would show overloaded GB storage while syncing and stop syncing)
    Recent patch seemed to fix it.
    NOW after 'upgrading' iOS and iTunes, making sure Apple Mobile Device Driver (AMDD) is installed and working, updating PC drivers, uninstalling, rebooting, and/or restarting multiple times and in different combinations for the last 3 days the following: iPhone, iTunes, PC, AMDD, as well a doing every 'online' fix/suggestion I can find, i.e, switch off  WiFi/Handoff/WiFi Sync, everything the iTunes Help suggest, reset network setting on iPhone.
    Currently - iPhone 'seen' on Windows, NOT on iTunes,  Can open iPhone in windows to access photo folders, whenever you plug in the Lightning USB it asks the "Trust" question were all familiar with and nothing!
    APPLE-  Millions of your Customers complaints are falling on deaf ears.  This is an issue that seems to get a little worse each iOS update that affects all previous models of phone.  DO SOMETHING!  SAY SOMETHING!

  • I need help synching my iPod to my older Mac

    Hi,
    I have a 3rd gen iPod Touch (is that the generation before they came out with the camera?).  And, I had it synched with my home computer (a G4 running 10.4.11) for the longest time.  Well, then (in efforts to getting the latest iOS) I synched it with my work computer (a MacPro running Snow Leopard).  Clearly, I understand the difference in the Mac OS's and therefore the different iTunes version.
    However, I'd like to reformat my iPod to begin synching it with my home computer.  (I utilize iCal at home, and would like to integrate it on my iPod).
    So, I've erased the iPod (using it's proprietary erasing feature) and then plugged it in at home.  However, I still get the error: "upgrade your version of iTunes to the latest version."  I've upgraded everything I can, but I still get this error.  I'm guessing the iPod is still looking for the MacPro (or, at least, the latest iTunes -- which I can't install on my PowerMac G4).
    Any suggestions?  Is there anyway to format the iPod so it thinks it's a brand new iPod?  I'm not worried about my apps - those are all saved in my Apple Acct.
    Thanks,
    J

    I can't downgrade even if the iPod was originally setup on the older G4 ??  I guess I could check into leopard on my G4.  I didn't think I could run leopard.  I thought 10.5 was for Intel-chipped Macs.  But, I guess yours is running fine
    Yeah, I have a Dual 1.25Ghz processor, so, apparently, it should work fine.
    And, I guess I have the 2nd gen ipod touch -- determined by the list (thanks Carolyn Samit) and by the fact that it's the 8Gb flashdrive.
    Ok, I'll check into 10.5 for the G4!

  • Install newer OS version on old mac

    Hi,
    I was wandering if it's possible to install the latest OS version available on an old iMac.
    Here's the specs:
    Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    The reason why I'm asking this, is that in order to use the iPad 2, I need a Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, which I obviously don't have. So, in order to have the new gadget within few weeks, the only solution is to install a new OS on my old mac. If this is not possible, I'll have to use my money towards a new machine first and then the iPad.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks for your time and consideration to this matter.

    Hi,
    You can upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 on your iMac.
    Leopard requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP517
    You will need to purchase Leopard. Might be better prices elsewhere but start with Amazon as Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store. I strongly recommend not purchasing from eBay.
    Before you upgrade make sure there's enough free space on the iMac disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*
    Good idea to check out the iPad online manual here before purchasing.

  • Help with new airport express on older MAC

    How can I use a new airport express on an older MAC?  I am not able to install the new airport utility software because the MAC software is too old.  Can I install the airport software on my newer PC.  Will the older MAC be able to fist it and use it with AirPlay?

    You can run Airport Express on v10.4 or later.

    I use mine with two older laptops, one running Tiger, one running Leopard, as well as newer Macs running Snow Leopard.
    Try installing the software from the CD. If there's a problem, you should see a dialog box.

  • Need help to transfer itunes songs from older ipod to newer ipod

    I have an older ipod (one of the first generations!?) that I have downloaded songs from itunes years ago; however, those songs are not in my itune library. I now have a 3rd generation nano 8GB that I would like to put these songs on. I have tried downloading them to my laptop and then transferring into library. The songs will transfer into itunes library, but I can't get them to transfer onto the ipod. I transfer manually (don't sync songs)because I also have two sons that also have ipod nano and shuffle. When I click and drag the song from my library to the desired folder on my ipod it tells me that my computer isn't authorized. I have authorized the computer repeatedly and I still get the same message! I noticed the songs are protected and wonder...does that have anything to do with not being able to transfer?
    The songs were originally purchased on itunes store several years ago. I don't know why the 30 to 40 songs I have on the original ipod are NOT in the library, but I would really like them to be on my new ipod. (I have 200 plus songs that are on both ipods/library.) Can anyone help me? I feel I have tried everything and getting extremely frustrated! Are these songs a lost cause?
