new iphone 5c... trying to sync with itunes on my Mac so I can retrieve contacts

I have a new iphone 5c. When I connect it to my MacBook Air and open iTunes it says this iphone needs the latest version of itunes. How do I get that onto my phone, and how on earth can a new phone not have it already?

It means you have to have the latest version of iTunes *on the computer* to work with the phone. You need at least version 11.1 to work with iOS 7.


Update to the latest version of iTunes and you should be fine.


This was kind of annoying because they pushed iOS 7 before they pushed 11.1, so there was a period where you had to do the upgrade by hand, but the autoupdate should work now.
