Software Updates for iTunes

For Mac OS 9, Apple stopped upgrading iTunes at version 2.0.4. If you need a copy, type iTunes 2.0.4 in the Knowledge Base search box at http://www.apple.com/support to find the page with the Read Me file and download link.

If you use iTunes for Windows, you can tell the program to alert you to newly available versions by choosing Edit Preferences General and turning on “Check for iTunes updates automatically.” If you prefer to check yourself, choose Help Check for iTunes Updates or visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download.

If you’re in Mac OS X, life is just as easy. The Mac’s Software Update program is designed to alert you, via a pop-up dialog box, about new updates for iTunes.

If you’ve turned Software Update off (in System Preferences), however, you can run it manually by selecting it under the Apple menu and sending it out to look for updates right then. Or you can always hit up the iTunes download page at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download to see whether your version is the latest and greatest. The page lists all of the new features and may include some special offers, like a free sample from Audible.com or the chance to buy even more Apple software.

If you’re having technical troubles, go to Apple’s main Support page at http://www.apple.com/support and chose the version of iTunes (Mac or PC) you’re grappling with.

Tip

You can download the latest versions of AppleScript, Safari, iTunes, iSync, and iCal at http://www.apple.com/software.
