iTunes 11.0.5 needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, so if you buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you will be able to install iTunes 11.0.5.


Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Insert the disc and upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install all updates. You may have to use Software Update again to install the most recent iTunes version

Yes, assuming you are not already running Snow Leopard.


You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.


After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.


Snow Leopard General Requirements


1. Mac computer with an Intel processor

2. 1GB of memory

3. 5GB of available disk space

4. DVD drive for installation

5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;

fees may apply.

6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and


terms apply.
