Q: 'The iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes.

I have recently upgraded to the iPhone 5c ..my problem is that now I cant sync to my iTunes on my iMac.

The moment I link the iPhone to the iMac I get:

 

'The iPhone “Richard's iPhone” cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes.

Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.'

 

…so I follow the link and find that the latest version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.8.5 or later.

My iMac is running version 10.6.8 so I do a software update and it appears that my system is fully updated.

So I cant download the latest iTunes because I cant update my OS software

I have exactly the same problem with my iPad Air

I hope that made sense… can anyone please help?

 

Devices:

iPhone 5c - Version 9.1

iMac - Version 10.6.8

iPad Air Wi-Fi, Cellular - Version 9.0.2

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz 12Gb ram
