You call Apple Sales & order a retail copy of Snow Leopard(10.6.8), US $29. Then update to iTunes 10.7. Either that, or you don't use your phone with your computer.

    I can't update becuase my mac says this, This software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. any ways to update my iTunes?

    You need to call 1 800 My APPLE and ask for Snow Leopord disk.
    The cost is $29 I believe.
    all iOS 6 OS and hardware announced (iphone5, new nanos, etc) require at least 10.7 version of itunes.

    I can not back up my new iphone 5 to y itunes because my apple computor won't let me upgrade my itunes. After I try to download the latest itunes, it tells me "This software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later" I don't know how to get it to download. Any suggestions would be welcome. My mac os x version is 10.5.8

    SL = Snow Leopard.  10.5.8 = Leopard.  10.6.8 = Snow Leopard.
    10.7 = Lion, successor to SL.  And 10.8 = Mountain Lion which succeeded Lion.
    Not in person, as far as I know.  But free shipping, usually within 4 business days.

    I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
    I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
    All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
    PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
    PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

  • What does it mean when itunes requires 10.6.8?

    what does it mean when itunes requires 10.6.8?
    I accidently deleted my friend's itunes and it will not let me download it

    If the computer is running Mac OS X 10.5.8, you cannot install the most recent version of iTunes. You will have to download iTunes 10.6.3, the last version that will run on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 system:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    To reinstall Microsoft Word, you will need to use the installer disk for Microsoft Office. To reinstall PhotoBooth, you would need to reinstall Mac OS X itself.
    I presume you looked in the Trash on the computer, though, to see if the things you believe you deleted are perhaps still there? If they are, just drag them back to the Applications folder.
    Regards.

    What does it mean
    This is an imei number for a product
    that has been replaced?

    What carrier did you buy it from? Are they on this list? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If they are on that list and you have the original receipt from them showing the serial number, they may be able to correct the error in the Apple database.
    If they're not on that list, you were sold a black market phone.

    Hallo Apple,
    what does it mean this Message0x7fff7500b300 resumeBackgroundConversion: background conversion started/resumed for lv 82832E6C-B6AC-46A6-8836-715414EBE8F4.
    Because I have a Problem with my CPU: Kernel_task and corestoraged.

    I'm having this same issue. I also have this line in my log, which is curious:

    Is this related to the problem? What does it mean?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

  • TS4268 What does it mean 'This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time'?

    I have iMessage to my friend successfully before.  But yesterday when I tried to iMessage him again, these words appear 'This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time?  What does it mean?

    Thanks for this thread.  I had the problem too.  It was very frustrating because he's overseas and we iMessage a few times per week.
    The reason it was broken: the specific contact had changed his AppleID password and had not updated it on his iPhone. 
    The solution that worked for us:
    He reset his AppleID (c.f.: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624)
    He updated the password at iPhone (iOS7) >> Settings >> Messages
    He updated the password at iPhone >> Settings >> FaceTime
    I reset my network settings: my iPhone (iOS7) >> Settings >> General >> Reset >> Reset Network Settings
    He didn't have to reset his network settings, and neither of us powered our iPhones off/on.

  • Why does my Macbook say, "This software requires Mac OS X 10.6 to be installed"

    I am so confused. Its not letting me use itunes store, or anything. I cant hook up my phone and put songs on my computer or anything. And everytime I try to update it says system is up to date. ???????? What is going on with my computer? I neeed help!

    Your 10.5.8 Leoaprd may be up to date, but your latest gadgets require a new operating system being 10.6 Snow Leopard. This is available on DVD from the online store. Costs approx $20.
    Here is the US example.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Once installed you then can do further free updates.
    This depends if your computer can handle the upgrade. These are the requirments.

  • What does it mean this message in iTunes?

    Hello there everyone!
    Well when I enter into iTunes there's apearing a message that says
    Does anyone knows what is the meaning?

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Aperture 3.1.1 on iMac  try to upload to 3.1.2 and more,mac givs me warning this software requires mac ox 10.5 or newer,i have lion on it,i have try the pro kit 1.5 and 3.1.2,3.1.3 can not download can anybody help me out?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
