Need to install iTunes 10.7 on a MacBook 2.1

I just bought the new iPhone 5, but when I link it to my MacBook 2.1, it errors out and says I need to install itunes 10.7.  When I try to install nothing happens.  I have come to the conclusion that the OS is very out dated and might need to be updated.  I was told to download mountain lion but hen he details appear to not support my system.  I need direction as to what the exact OS I should download, where to download it from; I was having issues doing this in he morning and what the exact steps to resolve the OS issues - step by step.
Thx

In order to install iTunes 10.7, you need to install OS X 10.6 or later. On your system, click on the apple to the left of the menu bar, and about this mac. It will tell probably say OS X 10.5.x.
In order to get OS X 10.6, call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE. Cost is $20. When you receive the DVD, first backup your system, then install the operating system update. When done, perform Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 10.7.  Your system needs 1GB minimum of memory in order to install OS X 10.6, also. The about this mac pop-up will tell you how much memory you have.
You can install OS X 10.7 Lion, if you want, however, since your goal is to sync your iPhone 5, I'd upgrade to OS X 10.6 and leave it there.

    Hello ekbowers,
    It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5.  I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system. 
    I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Snow Leopard, if you can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

    You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well.  It was buggy for me.
    I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
    Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
    Just had to try everything.  As final choice, update over the air.  I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.

    You need to tell us exactly what messages you are seeing.
    You posted this in the OSX 10.4 forum but your computer profile says you are running OSX 10.6.8  Which system version you are running makes a big difference.

    Do I need to install virus protection software on my MacBook Air?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You do not need to install additional security software. OS X already comes with security software to keep your Mac safe. See > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
    However, you should keep OS X and all your applications updated, and do not visit strange websites. Also, be careful with public networks, where your Mac is more vulnerable.

  • I have windows 8 and need to install itunes (without internet)

    I've got the set up.exe file through another computer (latest version downloaded) and have put on desktop of windows 8, but when i go to use the set up it say  "this app can't run on your PC" find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher" any clues?
    My main reason for wanting to put iTunes on the windows 8 computer is so i can use my iPhone 4 as a hotspot, I've seen that it won't work unless iTunes is installed....
    feel like I'm going around in circles!
    Any help would be amazing!

    You need an Internet connection to install iTunes.
    That is not true.
    If you have the installer, iTunes will install without an active Internet connection.
    The OP must have the correct installer for the OS on the computer.
    The installer for Windows 8 64-bit can be found here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
