iPod Touch iOS6 cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.
Hi, just now I've updated my iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 and I backed it up on iTunes before. Now I want to restore that backup but when I plug it onto my iMac (running OS X 10.5.8), iTunes pops up a message that says: "The iPod "Trang's iPod touch" cannot be used be because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". My iTunes right now is iTunes 10.6 (40) if that helps. I pressed iTunes > Check for Updates... then it says that I have the current version! I did the same with apple logo > Software Update, and nothing new. I then went on itunes.com and the newest version is 10.7, except I don't want to risk to download it and lose all my music files again, and it's not even compatible with my iMac!
Like said, my version cannot sync over wi-fi because iCloud also isn't compatible with Leopard. What do I do? Do I HAVE to buy an update for Snow Leopard then be able to sync my iPod? They don't even sell physical copies in stores anymore.. now I'm stuck with a clean state iOS 6 iPod. If I knew, I wouldn't have updated it. Is there any way to go back?
Regards
