Upgrading iTunes on an iMac -- 10.2.8
The majority of my iTunes library is on my old desktop iMac running 10.2.8 --
Now that I have a new iPod nano, I need a newer version of iTunes for it to recognize that the iPod is docked so I can sync. However, the new version of iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.4.9 or newer. Is there anyway around this, or to download an older version of iTunes that will recognize my new iPod?
Currently running iTunes 6.
Sorry but no, there is no way around this other than to upgrade your version of Mac OS X. The new iPods need a newer version of iTunes than you can run on Mac OS X 10.2.

My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC. I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Hey Oynkus,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5. Did you update iTunes as well?
If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Info.
Select the items you want to sync.
Click Apply.
Take care,

Post Maverics Upgrade - iTunes, Sleeping display and Apple Remotee
Before I upgraded to Mavericks, my Imac would play itunes and eventually the display would falla sleep. Perfect for pdocasts and internet radio at night. I'd use my apple remote to adjust the volume or change tracks and the display would remain asleep
After the upgrade, any touch I'd make with the remote wakes the display - which is sort of brutal at night - and I'll be darned if I can find a setting to revert it back to the way I had it.
Any thoughts?
-JohnnyIt is frustrating, but you have to help the other people here help you by giving more information or asking a formal question.
The reason why people aren't replying to your post is because there really isn't much of a question other then:
"do anybody reply to these posts?"
and
"Does Apple care?"
No one can really respond seriously to those posts.
So I will help you with the following.
Provide your model of iPod, its age, and what software update you are talking about. Then people can start to help you with your problem, if that is what you are requesting.
Otherwise, you have a 1 year warranty standard on iPod where they will repair defects. You do have support beyond 30 days, just not telephone support. You can go into any apple store and have your problem diagnosed for free if you are still within your 1 year warranty, or can call Apple to ship it to a repair center. -
Help--upgraded itunes 7.0.1 can't see my music or video
I upgraded to 10.4.8 and 7.01. Every other time i have upgraded, itunes just opened up and all my music was there. Including upgrade to 7.0.
Now when i open itunes it has none of my music. When i try to import and i point it toward the itunes music folder, it doesn't see the music folders inside. I selected "consolidate" to see if that would help, but it did nothing.
If i go into the finder, and click thru to a song and then click on a song, it opens in itunes and then i can see it in itunes. I have a lot of songs so clicking on each one is not practical.
It might be a 10.4.8 problem, bc when i opened entourage and safari, i had also lost all my settings and had to start from scratch. What is weird about this is that the files are there for itunes to see.
Btw, this is only a problem on my imac. macbook pro is working fine after upgrades
thanksHave you tried playing the downloaded song in iTunes, while connected to the internet? The authorization process for the song would be the same (probably) as you're logging in here, presuming you bought it with the same id.
This presumes that you haven't hit the limit of authorized computers.
Just making sure of the basics. -
HT2311 Install iTunes to my iMac version 10.5.8 but it is requiring 10.6.8.
Hello,
I am trying to install iTunes to my iMac. It is telling me that I need Mac OS version 10.6.8 but my system is saying I am up to date with the current 10.5.8 that I have. I can not install iTunes 11.4 until it is updated obviously. I deleted the previous version of iTunes so that I could reinstall for the newer version to be able to sync with my iPhone and iPad. I did not however empty my trash yet if that makes a difference. I drag and dropped it there from applications. How do I update my Mac to accommodate the iTunes? Please advise. Thank you!!
KyYou likely are up to date with iTunes as far as your present operating system version goes, but since 10.5.8 is fairly old and your present iTunes is as far as you can go until you upgrade the operating system version (as Niel outlines). If you have newer i-gadgets requiring a newer iTunes version then you have no option but to upgrade your operating system software. Make sure you back up your computer first.

Upgrading from a G5 iMac running Tiger to a new iMac.
I am upgrading from a G5 iMac running Tiger to a new iMac, can I use 32Gb SD Card to move iphotos, itunes, ivideos? If so, how do I do it and insure I keep slideshows, playlists etc. I have built in iphoto, itunes etc.
Your Tiger iPhoto library may need upgrading with a Apple Library updater tool before you can use it with iPhoto '11. Reference. More iPhoto help just in case.
Make sure that that SD card is an SDHC card, and not just an SD card, or it may not be readable in your new iMac.
Here is the layout of the iTunes 11.0.1 Music folder on OS X 10.8.2. It may vary from what you have on Tiger.
Read the following articles before you move your iTunes library from Tiger.
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder.
iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
When you are satisfied that your iTunes content is moved over to Mountain Lion, you may wish to deauthorize the G5 from iTunes. -
ITunes on my iMac seems to think my iPhone is connected and tries to sync even even when it is not.
iTunes on my iMac seems to think my wife's iPhone is connected and tries to sync even even when it is not. This has been going on for a couple of years now and I am finally trying to stop it. I launch iTunes manually to sync any number of devices we have in the household and, at least every third time I launch iTunes, it pops up my wife's iPhone and start spinning around as if it is connected and syncing but it is not. This happened to me today when my wife and her iPhone were not even in the house or even the same city for that matter! Oddly, she recently (finally) upgraded from an iPhone 3 to a 5 assuming that would finally stop it but it just kept on happening. Anyone have any idea how to stop this? Thanks!
- MattYou might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease? -
Ok just updated my iPad 2 to the new OS 5. Now it wont sync to my iTune on my iMac by Wi-Fi. The only thing it's saying is (Sync will resume when "name of computer) is available. Now WHAT?
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -
Extra computers added to authorisation list after upgrade (iTunes 9)
I've just upgraded iTunes to version 9 on 2 of my computers (1 pc laptop & 1 imac). On both these machines when I have went to turn Home Sharing on I get a message saying that the computer is not authorised so I go to "Store" then "Authorise computer" and insert my password. Each time I have done this it has added both the computers to my authorisation list which now has 4 computers registered instead of the 2.
Is there a way of removing computers from this list so that I only have the 2 as it should be?
Thanks
BryanThanks for the link Jim.
I de authorised then re authorised the mac and it's only showing up as having one account so i'll do the same for the laptop and see how that goes.

I purchased the X-Men Bundle of 5 movies. I downloaded the first 3 onto my iPhone. Only 1 of the 3 (the first film) shows up as an option to sync to iTunes on my iMac. I do it this way because I have access to free hi-speed wifi at work but not at home.
I have verified that the other 2 films are actually on the phone and will play on the phone.
I have tried various settings and restarted both devices but to no avail.Thanks Alex! That did the trick! I just saw your reply. I thought no one had replied because I did not get an email alert. I think I had turned that feature off and forgot I had done so. Now it seems so obvious but for some reason I didn't look there. This is a big help. I can download stuff at work but at home I have only cellular data using a mobile wi-fi device and downloading movies, especially HD movies is just not an affordable option. Taking my iMac to the office would be crazy. I downloaded only my MacBook Air and copied the files onto a thumb drive but those were not recognized. I was at my wit's end. Thanks again!

I have just purchased a new iMac and this is all new to me as it is so different from my PC. I am trying to transfer my iTunes from my PC onto the iMac, I have got as far as pasting the itunes music folder onto the desktop but I cant seem to transfer that into iTunes on my iMac. Can anyone help me out with this?
See iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
BTW this list os for discussing the list itself. You'll get better response to questiosn you post if you post them to the correct list. I'll ask to have this moved to the iTunes list.

I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod although I can see the iphone but NOT the iPod on the computer (windows 8.1 Pro). I checked everything , cable, services, stop and start and automatice, etc.and went through all the steps on the apple support site, to include removing all apple software in the designated order and reinstalling it. iTunes still doesn't see the iphone.
The Apple iPhone shows up only under protable Devices in the Device Manager window and has a Yellow ! warning triangle, and there is no Apple USB controller in the devices menu.under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When I look under the properties of the Apple iphone, it says in Device Status, to reinstall the drivers for this device (Code 18).
When I do this, I get the following: "Windows found driver softweare for you device but encountered an error when attempting to install it" Apple Mobile Device Driver One of the installers for th this device cannot perform the installation at this time. I tried both suggested locations on the C: drive.
Also I can't seem to find out how to install the Apple USB Contoller or is that related to the problem above?
The iphone and my ipod work fine with this version of itunes on Windows 7 on my laptop. is it possible that I am missing a critical update from Microsoft on the driver and USB controller? I have been leery of installing them since my computer had problems with some updates in January.
I 've tried every thing listed in this forum, I think, and the Apple support page on this subject. Please help!Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

Unable to upgrade iTunes 10.1 or add new user
I have iTunes 10.1.0.56 installed on a Windows 7 PC. Whenever I try to upgrade to any newer version, the installation stalls. The dialog box says that the program is trying to use a resource that is unavailable, then it prompts me to try to find the folder containing iTunes64.msi, which is the installation program itself. One of the suggested locations is "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"; another is C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.1.0.22\ which was probably the first version I loaded after I bought the PC. I have tried over-writing the version number; I have also found temp folders in cache from previous upgrade attempts, but none of those folder names work. I keep getting the message that (whatever) is not a valid installation package. Eventually I have to cancel the upgrade.
iTunes works fine for me and my children on our respective user profiles. We all have iPods and used iTunes regularly. My wife up to now is a non-iTunes user but she just got an iPod Classic for her birthday. However, when she launches iTunes from her profile, the installation program launches and then stalls with the same error messages as above. So she can't use iTunes and without having her own iTunes account, her iPod is useless.
I have seen this problem or similar issues discussed on other boards, mainly involving older versions of iTunes and/or Windows. I have pretty much the latest of both but can neither upgrade iTunes or set up my wife as a new user. Can somebody out there help me?? Thanks!I also encountered the same problem.
and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..

try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
ok. lets start...
in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP

you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
uninstall itunes 9.2
and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP

reinstall the newer version 10.1
I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke. -
Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
Can you help me?
ThanksIf you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.
