The latest version of iTunes is 12.3.2 and requires a later version of Mac OS X. The latest version of iOS requires the latest version of iTunes. See the system requirements for the Mac version of iTunes.

Sync with iTunes on a Mac or a PC requires:
- Mac OS X v10.8.5 or later
- PC: Windows 7 or later
- iTunes 12.3 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
you need to update OS X if your mac supports that otherwise, you need update on a computer that supports the required iTunes version
or update the iPhone itself rather than via iTunes on a computer.

He doesn't have to download a newer version of iTunes on the phone. It refers to the version of iTunes on your computer. The latest version of iOS 9.x requires iTunes 12.3.2. This requires a certain version of OS X to run. See these Mac requirements for iTunes.

I have a brand new iPhone (IOS 9.3.2). 5SE When I try to connect to iTunes I get the message ".. .iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version (12.1.3.6). How can I fix?
This is not the latest version of iTunes. The latest version is 12.4.1. What version of Windows are you using? If you use anything in Windows 7, it does not support the latest version of iTunes and the iPhone OS. You will need to update your computer.

Yesterday, I bought an iPhone 6s and decided to restore it via iTunes. This then is the message "iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes" came. So I installed the latest version, but the message still came, even if I had the latest version. What should I do?
What operating system you are using on this computer? If he is old enough like Windows XP or Vista, it is unable to get the latest versions of iTunes that are needed to work with the latest iPhone software.

I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)? Fact is need to update itunes? Also you can sync ipod touch?
iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher. Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated. It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11. El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM. Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.
At el capitan Snow Leopard, it will make my macbook is slow? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7412959

New version of iTunes required on 6s
Just bought 6 s - value u p ok but the problem with my Mac in sync with the iPhone by saying that the iPhone requires the latest version of iTunes. I checked Ian iOS is up-to-date as my computer is - have reinstalled later on the computer again to nothing does not! Have turned on/turned off, have reset new phone twice and still no good - Apple frustrated themselves! I'm relatively tech savvy but it's embarrassing!
Apple are not here, these are user forums.
The message refers to iTunes on your Mac - do you have installed on your Mac and iTunes version 12.3 10.8.5 + OS X +?

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package.
