Why can't I download the latest iTunes to my mac which is a 10.5.8

I have got myself in a real mess, I installed the new iOS 7 onto my iPad and I don't like it so I imported all my new photos to my mac, then I reset all my settings on my iPad thinking that it would go back to the original settings but alas didn't work.
Then I thought I would put up with it but now I cannot put my photos etc back onto the iPad because my mac needs the version of iTunes but when I try to install the new version I get a messy come up that iTunes cannot install this new version on my mac which is a 10.5.8.
So now I am stuck with the software on the iPad I don't like and I cannot sync the iPad to iTunes
So why can't I download the new version of iTunes to the mac which is 10.5.8

Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

  • Why can't I download the latest version of iTunes onto my computer?

    My computer (Macbook Pro) won't let me download music to my iPhone 5 so I went to try and download the latest version of iTunes but it will not let me install it on my computer. Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

    The most recent iTunes version (iTunes 12.0.1) requires OS X Lion or higher, so you have to upgrade OS X to a higher operating system like OS X Yosemite.
    You can download OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store, and it will check if your Mac is compatible. Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible -> http://www.roaringapps.com

    Yes, you need Snow Leopard to use the latest version of iTunes - if you can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.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:

  • Why can't I download the latest CS6 Illustrator Hotfix with AAMEE?

    I tell Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition to Package the latest updates for CS6 Illustrator and what I get is 16.0.3 when the latest update is 16.0.5. I have found the update on Adobe's web site as stand alone exe but it will not install on my installation I'm assuming because I created the original Illustrator Installer package with AAMEE. Why can't AAMEE see the 16.0.5 hotfix?

    Problem solved, The latest hot fix was not a regular update. You have to download the exe form Adobe's websight and follow their instructions to install. you can't just double click the exe. It is a copy and replace the file in the \Support Files\Contents\Windows folder. It is important to make sure you are at the latest version before attempting the update. I trashed my first attempt and had to reinstall. Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I download the latest version of flash?

    Everytime I go to watch youtube, or use websites that require the flash player it tells me that I need Flash Player 11.3 or higher. I go to the website to download the latest flashplayer and it tells me to download 10.3 (which I already have). What's the deal?!
    I'm running Leopard on a Macbook Pro.
    I get the same messages in google chrome and firefox!

    Perhaps this will help.

  • Why can't I download the newest itunes

    I am trying to download the newest Itunes and the download file window stays at 10%

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:

    Does that go through any better for you?
