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Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.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