I have tried a zillion times to update itunes to 10.5.2 but it won't work. Under the "About iTunes" section it says that I'm still using itunes 10.4. What I'm really trying to do is update my iphone 4 software but itunes says I can't do that without first updating the itunes software, which it won't let me do. Anyone know how to fix this? Much appreicated.
Look at the system preferences for iTunes 10.5.3. Are you running 10.5.x (Leopard) or later? If you are then please repost in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Help?! Can't update to iPhone 4.2.1 from PowerBook G4 running iTunes 9.2.1
My aging PowerBook G4 is running iTunes 9.2.1, further update of iTunes not available for my version of OSX (10.4.11). When I sync my iPhone 3G (running 4.1) I am told there is a newer version of the iPhone software (4.2.1), but upon clicking the "Update" button in the sync window I get a prompt saying "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version." What's with this prompt? This update button has worked in the past to keep my iPhone software current, don't know what's going on now!
My laptop and my iPhone used to play nicely together all the time. Not really sure where to begin with this one and would appreciate any suggestions.I'm experiencing this same problem and am also highly annoyed. For several reasons, I cannot upgrade to 10.5 on my Powerbook G4 and thus can never update my iPhone software again.
However, what's even more annoying is the snotty, condescending attitude of the people who respond on these boards to anyone using an older-model computer, particularly the ones in this thread.
Just so you know, you guys are hardly supporting Apple by providing case studies on superiority complexes in place of actual advice.
There is absolutely no reason why a person should not be able to upgrade the software on their top-of-the-line phone because Apple decided to arbitrarily tack said software update to an iTunes version that is unattainable to many devoted Mac users. Especially when Windows users (you know, those people who are actually "hardly supporting Apple") are afforded support that we older Mac users are being distastefully excluded from.
Only a truly sickening Apple sycophant could look at this situation and say it's anything bordering on fair. -
Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I updated my iPhone software and now it is saying that I need to connect it to iTunes. I no longer have my computer with my iTunes on it. What can I do? I really don't want to lose my data! I wouldn't have updated if I had known but there was no warning.
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Error 50: This error (and error -50) are timeout errors. Follow the steps for errors 13 or 14 above.

i have version 4.3.3 and am updating my iphone software. I am updating it on a computer that is not mine, as i only have an iPad. Can I do this without loosing my music, apps, photos, etc?
You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

HT1688 Activation server can not be reached while updating my iPhone software.
Why is my phone not activating the new 7 software on an iphone 4s.
Here is part of the message I have beengetting...
Activation server can not be reached while updating my iPhone software.Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
