Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).


One we know what it is exactly you are running we can be more specific.

With your computer you can certainly upgrade at least 10 OSX 10.6 and possibly further. You need 10.6 to start with before doing further upgrades so order it. Once you have the basic 10.6 installer DVD you can update 10.6 to 10.6.8 using the free updater.


Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399


iTunes 10.7 absolutely requires at least OSX 10.6.8 You have to buy this.


Note I use the terms updates and upgrades very specifically.
