My new I Phone SE will not aync to my Macbook Pro. The error message states that my phone cannot sync to i tunes as it requires a new version of i tumes. I currently have version 12.2.2 and have tried to update but the Mac says there are no updates for i tunes available as I have the current version. V frustrated!!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), I Phone SE
The current version of iTunes is 12.3.3
You may need to upgrade the OS on your Mac - which OS is that?

Hello. The current system OS is OSX lion 10.7.5.
I do not believe you can get to 12.3.3 with that - you may need to consider Mountain Lion or Mavericks or even Yosemite depending whether your computer can support it
That's right. You need at least Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) to install iTunes 12.3.3, but your MacBook may not support it.
I'm on the same boat: my late-2007 MacBook can't be upgraded to Mountain Lion, which means I can't upgrade iTunes, which therefore means I can't connect my iPhone SE to it and transfer my music.
This is clearly a decision by Apple to render old MacBooks obsolete. The changes between iTunes 12.2.2 and 12.2.3 are minimal. It just adds support for the new devices. It wouldn't have been a huge stretch for Apple to build iTunes 12.2.3 to run on Lion.
The irony is that I now had to install the new version of iTunes on a Windows PC so I can actually use my iPhone SE. Way to go, Apple!
Hey Spider. Many thanks for your help!!!
