Every user of these gadgets knows that without a special program it is impossible to transfer files from iPad and iPhone to a computer and from a computer. But not everyone knows how to update this very iTunes. And there is nothing complicated in this, by the way.
Why you need it
Unfortunately, this much-needed program takes up a lot of space on the hard disk of a personal computer, and even spends a lot of RAM when working. That is why many users are wondering why they need to update iTunes to the latest version. First, the updated interface tends to be much simpler than the legacy versions. Secondly, it usually becomes more convenient to use the program, and the functionality expands. In addition, at some point, the old version simply stops recognizing the connected gadget. Therefore, you need to update iTunes in a timely manner so that it is ready for use at any time.
Mac and updates
First you need to run the program. On a Mac system, it is usually located in the workspace at the bottom orside of the screen. The icon looks like a note. Depending on the version, this is either a red, or blue, or multi-colored icon. Usually, after launching, a prompt appears immediately to install a new version of the program. Simply agreeing is enough to update iTunes in seconds. The Mac system is remarkable in that it usually does not ask the user's opinion at all, installing new versions of Apple programs in a timely manner and independently. Provided that the owner of the personal computer has not disabled this useful option.
Windows and Apple apps
Here, too, there are no particular difficulties. You need to enable the program on your computer. If it is not pinned to the taskbar and there is no icon on the desktop, then you need to go to "Start", "Programs", "All Programs". Select iTunes from the list. It won't be hard to update it. If the "Apple Software Update" window does not immediately appear, then you need to go to the "Help" section in the upper left corner of the working panel. This concerns version 12.2.1.16, which is already quite outdated. In the section you need to find the "Update" button. The program will automatically start searching for available new versions. If they are, the user will be prompted to install them. Of course, a person himself has the right to decide whether he needs it or not. However, it is worth remembering that a timely update allows the program to work without interruption. But ignoring these simple rules can lead to the problems described above.
Gadgets and updates
It doesn't take much to update iTunes to the latest version on an Apple mobile device. Although there are a number of features. Firstly, the application is not quite ordinary. It works smoothly, clearly and without failures. Because it is controlled by the company, not the user. You cannot delete, move, change, update it yourself. Secondly, it is the company that decides when the application needs to be updated. And a new product is usually released simultaneously with the release of a new version of the operating system - iOs. Therefore, the installation is inextricably linked with it.
To update the system and "tuna" at the same time, you need to go to the settings of the "apple" gadget. In the "General" section there is a sub-item "Software Update". You must check for new versions, read the terms of the agreement, and agree to them if an update is available. After downloading, the device will automatically restart, the new one will take effect. Most often, in the mobile version of iTunes, the functionality and some interface elements are updated. At the same time, everything remains the same efficient, stable and convenient. Major updates are not visible to the user (this is the compatibility of the program with the new version of the operating system). Therefore, gadgets also need to be updated in a timely manner.
