Mac Book Updates
Hello Apple Community - I am in desperate need of help!
I just got my new iPhone 6S, and I am having difficulty syncing it with my Mac Book. I was able to back up my previous iPhone's data on my computer successfully, but when I connected my iPhone 6S, I got an error that said I couldn't sync the phone because I needed a new(er) version of iTunes. I checked for updates in iTunes, and it said I was using the most current version - no updates were available. So now, totally confused, I go to the iTunes web page to download the newest version, in hopes it would overwrite the old one (thinking that maybe the updates aren't showing or malfunctioning). When I downloaded iTunes, I got an error that said something to the effect of "need OS X 10.8 or higher." Then, I went to download the Yosemite update which is 10.8, and when I tried to install it, I got another error saying I needed the 10.0 operating system, which I believe I already have, since I am currently using version 10.6.8.
I am really confused at this point and really need some help. I simply want to update iTunes so that I can sync my brand new phone and its impossible to do this right now. I am not familiar with how Macs work, I am more familiar with PCs and I am worried about how to fix this issue - I was leary of uninstalling iTunes to reinstall it (thinking it would work correctly), I am just wondering what I should do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Tina
