How to have 2 versions of iTunes? Should I update?
I have several Mac I use for the production of the show / audio - I prefer 10 v interface and the latest versions of vs and this is what I have installed on Snow Leopard, I prefer to allow the use of old audio software more stably. Question is, since apple made iTunes the means of transfer of audio data on or off of an iphone, I have to run the latest version of iTunes to do any seized of, say, a simple ringtone for example - on my iphone running ios 9.1. So I don't want to upgrade iTunes to 12, so what can I do to have a version of iTunes 12 co exist on a machine that can also run iTunes 10... ? What I have to sacrifice just version 10 on one machine just devote a copy of iTunes 12 to interact with my iphone. No doubt this means that I also have to launch at least v 10.8.5 on this machine in order to run itunes 12... It seems tedious and cumbersome to say the least. If I like an older version of something, why should I give up? It is absurd that I have to go at this point to put a stupid ringtone on my phone. Rant, just to search for the path of least resistance to achieve. The only way I found so far is to force an upgrade of a machine JUST to run the latest version of iTunes - because they have made obligatory to be able to synchronize any iPhone with a mac, period. Or am I missing something? Thanks for all the ideas,
Mike
We have to abandon the 'old', because unlike the ricer in your great-grandmother of 1902, which can always be used to crush the potatoes today, digital technology is much more complex. The elements are replaced by something new every 6 months and does not interface with the former because of the very different capabilities. It is simply the way of the 21st century. Either that or do what I do which is not buying an iPhone, or iPod or iPad, or use new software, be patient with very slow web page rendering and continue to use a computer for 14 years with iTunes 7.5 which is solid as a rock. Convince everyone not to jump on new technologies so fast and maybe the world electronics companies will change their habits. Good luck.
Only one version of iTunes can run on a computer at a time. Since you're using iOS9, you are in a bind if you use iTunes to synchronize because it requires iTunes 12.3 +. I guess you could learn how to use your iPhone way more limited without iTunes. With the advent of the game, the music of Apple and iTunes Store purchase download again (if you buy your stuff from them) traditional synchronization is not as critical.
A library opened by a newer version of iTunes can no longer be opened by an earlier version so even if you can run two iTunes you should have two libraries (you can share multimedia files however).
Perhaps you could implement something fancy such as running a virtualized version of Snow Leopard server in an environment of Mountain Lion +. I think you might be able to run a separate version of iTunes like this. Either that or configure a system dual boot where you start at one or the other (a little annoying) if necessary. Or buying a second computer (I have 2, one with the OS Tiger and the other I'm going to put up with the Mavericks + Snow Leopard server).

Hi sonalnj,
I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.
According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.
iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.
OS X Lion mountain
http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lionNow the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

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.
