Q: Mac mini trying to install iTune v12.x
I've got an older Mac mini (2009) running Mac OS X 10.5.8 that does not allow me to install the latest iTune (v12.x) which would allow me to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen. Is there any work around?
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 9.3.5

- Your computer supports the latest OSX version which is El Capitan (but not the next which is Sierra). Your Mini also supports 8 GB of memory and that is recommended. Apple says 2 GB is required for El Capitan but it will be slow
- To upgrade you first have to get and use a Snow Leopard install DVD. You can oreder the SL install DVD here here:

- Then fully update Snow Leopard via the Software Update and go to the Mac App Store and download EL Capitan
