How can I connect my iphone to my computer with the new upgrades? My mac (old) cannot support the new itunes and my phone can't connect to it.

I have a macbook that I purchased in 2007 with operating system Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I recently did the new software upgrade on my iPhone and now my iPhone and my computer cannot connect. I tried downloading the newest iTunes but it is not supported by my software. What can I do now? (Other than buy a new computer).

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • How do I transfer information from iphone 4s to iphone 3g or is this possible?  I dropped my iphone 4s in water yesterday.  I had saved my old 3g.Synced 3g to itunes and restored from back up.I have no pictures or texts from my 4s.Why didn't they transfer

    I dropped my iphone 4s in water yesterday.  Got out my old 3g to use temporarily.  I synced it to itunes and restored from backup.  However, none of my pictures or text messages transferred to the 3g.  Did I do something wrong?  Why won't those transfer?  I had just synced my 4s over the weekend.  Everything I have read says to just hit restore and it should have restored to what was on my 4s.  Can someone please tell me if I've lost those things forever?
    Thank you.

    If you got a replacement iPhone 4s or iPhone 5 you could restore the backup of the damaged 4s device to either device. 

  • I am the administrator of my computer with other family members having accts. One member is grayed out and no one can access that acct.  Why and what do I do about it?

    I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.
    One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
    I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
    I don't have permission.??

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How to I scan a paper onto my computer with MG 3222, using a Mac OS?

    I am having trouble figuring out how to scan then upload a paper using my MG 3222 scanner printer combo.  I looked for a program on my computer but the only things I found were the system configuration programs for my printer.  

    Hi amfarrell77,
    There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning.  To scan using the IJ Scan Utlity, please follow these steps:
    1.  Place the documents on the platen glass of the printer.
    2.  Start IJ Scan Utility by going to the Go menu of Finder, selecting Applications, then double-clicking the Canon Utilities folder, IJ Scan Utility folder, then Canon IJ Scan Utility icon to start IJ Scan Utility.
    3.  In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window.  The Settings dialog box appears.
    4.  Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window, then set the item size, resolution, etc. as required.
    5.  In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
        a.)  In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file.  By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
        b.)  In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the option that is relevant to the type of document you want to scan.  
        c.)  In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in.  By default, the file will be saved in the DOCUMENTS folder.
    6.  Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window.  The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    7.  Click the DOCUMENT button.  Scanning starts.  Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed.  Scanned images and documents are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I connect an iPhone 5S or 6 with audio video cables?

    How do I connect an iPhone 5S or 6 with audio video cables? Our van only has these connections. Apple did have a cable that worked with the 4/4S, but it does not work with an adapter on the 5S. I want audio only.

    something like this should work then, right?
