Software Update: Itunes 10.4.1 & Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Hello,
I have looked at the latest software update and it includes Security Update 2011-005 and the latest Itunes 10.4.1. I would like to update my security, however I'm concerned about the Itunes update. Is it safe and compatible with my version of Snow Leopard or am I at a higher risk of losing my library? I know that there have been issues with some updates pertaining Lion compatibly (such as some games) and I wanted to make absolutely sure before I updated.
Sincerely,
Sarah

It is fine.
However, as a normal precaution, make sure you have a full backup of your hard drive.

  • Software Update ignores Scheduled Check under Snow Leopard

    I've tried asking our local Apple Genius Bar about this, but they weren't able to help me.  Here's the problem:
    I've upgraded to Snow Leopard on my late 2006 Mac Pro last year and changed my daily user account from Administrator to User.  I run the Stanford Folding@Home on this Mac 24x7, so it is always on and awake.  I noticed that I stopped getting notified that Software Updates were available.  I regularly check the Internet Storm Center and they announce OS X updates as well as the Microsoft updates.  When I run Software Update, I am challenged for my Administrator account and password (as I would expect) after which the program checks for updates and identifies the updates that are available.
    My question to the Genius was why do I have to run this manually when I have set the Software Update preferences to Check for updates Weekly and Download updates automatically is checked?  I have checked this setting from both my user account as well as my Administrator account and they both show the same settings.
    Since then, I've added a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and I set it up with an Administrative Supervisor account and User accounts for all of the family.  The Mac Mini never notifies us of updates, either.  Plus, I supply tech support for my in-laws' Macs and they all exhibit the same behavior.  This has been around since OS X 10.6.3 (the first version I installed) and every update since.  So, obviously, I know how to configure a Mac to break Software Update, but how do I "fix" them to let everyone know that it's time to update the Macs?
    Thanks for any help you can lend me.

    The software update can be run within a Standard users account it they have an administrators user name and password.  I am thinking that if you set a schedule for an standard user and the account is logged on then software update will not attempt because that use don't have the privileges to change system information.  The Software Update schedule is saved separately for each user of a Mac.  Try leaving the administrators account log in and see if it works.  Note: Thus another user's account may automatically download updates even when your account has them disabled.

  • Canon EOS Rebel XSi Software update won't install in Snow Leopard

    I tried to install an update to Canon's EOS Rebel XSi camera software using downloaded images from the Canon website. Image loads, but when I start the installer I receive the error message "Don't have enough privileges to install. Log in as administrator and try again." I am logged in as the administrator and have no issues loading other programs or program updates. I tried installing the same software from DVD with the same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Sorry for the confusion. I'm new to the discussion thing and didn't update the entire profile from my last visit. I'm using a Mac Pro and am more concerned about not being able to install/update software because the program doesn't think I have admin privileges. I found the privilege thread in this section so that's where I posted the question.
    I know the Canon software works in Snow Leopard because it's running on my laptop.
    I'll try the Picasa software option you suggest.

  • Cannot install iTunes 10.7 on snow leopard MacBook Pro.

    I have received my new iPhone 5 two weeks ago but I am unable to use it since I cannot install iTunes 10.7. I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6 (snow leopard) and 2GB RAM. I have been trying to install it and every time I get an error message saying that the disk could not be verified. I tried skipping verification and again it would allow me installing. Furthermore, I am trying to do my recommended software updates (including one about security) and my mac never succeeds. I am just wondering if that could be the problem.
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • ITunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard crashes

    My iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard crashes after several minutes from starting. I've tried to reinstall it many times, but nothing helps. What should I do to solve this problem?

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

  • Update Version 10.6 to Snow Leopard.

    I am trying to update Version 10.6 to Snow Leopard. I keep getting this error messages 'The Software Update Server (192.168.16.6) is not responding.’

    I have tried changing the IP address based on another suggestion to a similar problem but I keep getting the same messages with the same IP address. Would you have an idea of how I can change the IP or which address would enable me to download?

    and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

    The requirements for iTunes:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
    Which Mac do you have?

    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

    I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with  Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
    I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
    However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
    It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
    I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    same problem here 
    This solution work fine with me :
    1. Systems Preferences -> Network
    2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
    3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
    4. Click OK, then click Apply.
    5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.

  • What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard.  Have you heard of anyone making a patch for LION?

    What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard when the Os is Lion?

    It is up to the publishers of games to accommodate their software to Lion.
    Blizzard, publisher of StarCraft, WarCraft, and Diablo, has posted a statement about that -
    Blizzard Support
    Although they were able to create patches to allow the use of their (OS 9) games in OS X up through Snow Leopard, apparently from their perspective it is not possible to patch those games for Lion.
