How do I update itunes?

My iphone is disabled and to be able to use it I need to restore/update it but my itunes is outdated and needs to be updated but it says I have the newest version. After some research I realized it probably is saying this because my os x needs to be updated (I have os x 10.8.5). But when I check for updates it says there are no available updates. And when I tried to update it by searching the update on the web and trying to download it it says something about the volume of the disk not being enough to update. How do I update osx ?? How do I update itunes?? My computer basically doesnt seem to be letting me do either.

The current version of OS X is Sierra for machines that meet the requirements. Otherwise, El Capitan will be the last compatible version for older machines.

How to get macOS Sierra - Apple Support

To upgrade to El Capitan you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

Macs that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later

5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities' folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
