The fact that without a special program it is impossible to transfer files from iPad and iPhone to a computer and from a computer, every user of these gadgets knows. But not everyone knows how to update this iTunes. But there is nothing complicated in this, by the way.
Why is it necessary
Unfortunately, this much-needed program takes up a lot of space on the hard drive of a personal computer, and even spends a lot of RAM when working. That is why many users are thinking about why you need to update iTunes to the latest version. Firstly, the updated interface is usually much simpler than in older versions. Secondly, using a program usually becomes more convenient, and the functionality expands. In addition, at some point, the old version simply ceases to recognize the connected gadget. Therefore, iTunes needs to be updated in a timely manner, so that at any time it is ready for use.
Mac and updates
First you need to run the program. In the Mac system, it is usually located in the work area at the bottom or side of the screen. The icon is like a note. Depending on the version, it is either a red, or a blue, or a multi-color icon. Usually, after launch, a prompt appears on installing a new version of the program. Simply agree to let iTunes update in seconds. The Mac system is noteworthy in that it usually does not ask for user opinion at all, timely and independently installing new versions of Apple programs. Provided that the owner of the personal computer has not disabled this useful option.
Windows and Apple programs
There are also no special difficulties. You must enable the program on the computer. If it is not fixed in the taskbar and there is no icon on the desktop, then you need to go to "Start", "Programs", "All Programs". From the list you need to select iTunes. Update it is not difficult. If the "Apple Software Update" window did not appear immediately, then go to the "Help" section in the upper left corner of the work panel. This applies to version 12.2.1.16, which is already quite outdated. In the section you need to find the "Update" key. The program will automatically start searching for available new versions. If they are, then 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 timely updating allows the program to work without interruptions. But ignoring these simple rules can lead to the problems described above.
Gadgets and Updates
To update iTunes to the latest version on the mobile device of the Apple company, not so much manipulation is required. 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 the "tuna" at the same time, you need to go to the settings of the "apple" gadget. In the section "General" there is a sub-item "Software Update". It is necessary to check for new versions, read the terms of the agreement and agree with them if an update is available. After loading, the device will automatically restart, the novice will take effect. Most often, the mobile version of iTunes updates the functionality and some interface elements. 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 must also be updated in a timely manner.
