How to Update iTunes

Update instructions vary depending on whether you're on a Windows PC or a Mac.

The Bark Desktop App needs to communicate with your child's iOS device to monitor texts, photos, and more. Keeping iTunes up to date helps ensure that communication works properly.

Windows 11 icon Windows PC

  1. Open iTunes.

  2. From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Help > Check for Updates.

  3. Follow the prompts to install the latest version.

Check for Updates isn't shown in the Help menu? You have downloaded iTunes from the Microsoft Store. Uninstall that incorrect version of iTunes before installing the correct one.

Apple icon Mac

If you update your Mac to macOS 10.15+, iTunes will no longer be available. To check for updates to the things needed for your child's iOS device to work with the computer, check for updates to macOS.

Tired of managing iTunes updates? The Bark Sync monitors your child's iOS device automatically whenever they plug in to charge — no computer or iTunes required.
