Update to iTunes 10.6

Before you update you iPhone and/or iPad, be sure your iTunes is up to date. When you open iTunes, it should display a message that there is an iTunes update. Or, you may get a notice that you have Apple updates (on a PC) or Software Updates will appear on a Mac. On a Mac, click on "List Details" and you'll see that it is the iTunes update. On a PC, it will display what Apple software updates are available.

If iTunes is open, you will need to close it before running the update.
