Why cant I download any new versions of itunes?

I know MacBook isnt exactly new, but every time I go to download the newer version of itunes, as I'm instructed to do it wont download. It says because I cant download 10.6 or higher? Is this a ploy to make me buy a new computer? I cant transfer any new music or photos because of this issue and its making my phone use all of its memory. Help Please!!

You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download iTunes 10.7 or 11.  The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If you're running 10.5 you've got an OS that was written for the old Power PC Macs with code added so it could run on Intel Macs. 10.6 was designed for Intel Macs from the ground up.

    why can't i locate the new version of itunes i just downloaded on my computer?

    That bar you refer to is the "Menu Bar" with File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, Tools, Help. The "Navigation Toolbar" contains the location bar (/address bar) and navigational toolbar buttons like back/forward.
    To restore the menu bar use "Alt" to bring up menu bar temporarily then View > Toolbars > (check) Menu bar, and suggest you put tabs bar back to bottom of top toolbars instead of on top. This is items #2 and #3 in the following and you had better read about back/forward changes in item #5 using right-click instead of drop-down.
    You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
    * [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
    * [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
    * FirefoxButton -> add-ons
    ** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
    ** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
    * also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html

    I downloaded a new version of iTunes, then rented a movie to watch on my laptop. Now I cant find the rented movie or how to play it. Please Help.

    It should be in the Movies part of your library - if you select Movies, then is there a Rentals tab on it with that film in it ?

    Hello there, RJ Quick.
    I've located the following Knowledge Base article that might be the information you're looking for:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
    The following section may be of help:
    Change where imported files are stored
    Choose iTunes > Preferences and click Advanced.
    Click Change and select a new location for your files.From now on, new songs and other items you import will be stored in the new location. Songs you’ve already imported stay in their current location.To go back to storing imported files in the iTunes folder, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Reset.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • After downloading the new version of iTunes the program will no longer start on my MAC.  any ideas?

    after downloading the new version of iTunes on my MAC book pro it will no longer start.  any ideas? 

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
    Regards.

  • I have an iMac OS X Version 10.4.11. Can I download any new version with this?

    I have an iMac OS X Version 10.4.11. Can I download any new version with this?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
    If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
    If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

    I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • Cannot uninstall or install any newer versions of itunes

    My laptop recently had to have the registry recovered. I'm sure this problem is related to the registry, but I don't know what key is preventing this from happening. Whenever I try to install any newer versions of itunes I get an error about the apple updater software cannot be uninstalled because the associated .msi can't be found. I even point to the .msi and it still fails. I have even tried to completely remove itunes and I get the same error. First of all, I don't understand why apple has designed the install files to remove previous versions when merely upgrading them would fix any problems like this. So, if anyone knows how to fix this, please help! I am now several versions behind and am getting errors adding music to my shopping cart because of it.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (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?
