I have an old Mac laptop that Apple no longer supports -- so, I can't download the latest version of iTunes. Also, I got a new iPhone that won't communicate with my old version of iTunes. How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my new phone?
Old version of iTunes on laptop won't transfer music to my new iPhone.
Your profile shows you are running Lion (10.7.5). If this is the case, you certainly can sync with a new iPhone. If you are not running Lion, you will need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8). See below to purchase.

How do i transfer my music from one laptop to another
I have just bought a new laptop and have installed itunes straight in to it. How do I get my music from the itunes on my old laptop to my new one, I do have an iphone but when I connect it to my new laptop and find it in 'my computer' the music file doesn't seam to be present. Any suggestions?
You will have to move them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar. -

How to contact support when I can not download the latest version?
I keep getting a message that soon my browser will no longer be supported so I try to get the new version of firefox and get the message "Your system doesn't meet the requirements to run Firefox. "
I try to contact FF support and get the message I must have the latest version of FF to proceed...
so Iam being sent in a vicious circle.... I have 2 powerpc running osx10.4.11 and 10.5.8 respectively... these do everything I need a laptop to do but now I am having this issue that I soon may not have a browser HELPhello, the last firefox that ran on macs with the powerpc architecture was [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/en-US/ version 3.6.28], which is now also outdated and affected by various security vulnerabilities.
[[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]
you could switch to tenfourfox - this is a browser based on mozilla that is maintained & kept up-to-date by an independent project (the downside is, it doesn't support plugins, like flash player):

I dont want to transfer all the music just the checked ones. My macbook transfers all the music from my library to my iphone. I dont get it. Please if you could help that would be terrific.
Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone? -
I am trying to save all my music and pictures to my apple desktop from my apple laptop in order to sell my laptop. Any advice would be great! Thanks!
Hi Kschmuckal,
Select the method in the support article below that will best work for you:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
For photos, here are instructions from our fellow Community Support member Terence Devlin:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Also, you want to make sure you follow the instructions below to prepare your laptop for sale:
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
Cheers,

The music can be played through my computer speakers when the iPod contents are showing in iTunes, so iTunes recognises and can us the iPod, but I cannot move tunes/playlists from the iPod to iTunes (they appear to get dragged but do not appear in the new location).

How do I transfer my music from my old iPad to my new one?
How do I transfer my music from one iPad to my new one? Photos are easy my music is the pain. iTunes won't
See my music. I dislike putting a ton of CDs all over again when I did it once. I would like to empty
My old one to give it to is relative and I need my songs.I'm sorry but I still do not understand what you are saying.
The songs are playable in the music app, so there's no problem there. You didn't download the songs using iTunes on the iPad, you synced the songs from iTunes - that is the way I read your statement.
iTunes on the iPad doesn't see the songs? This is what doesn't make sense to me. Why would iTunes need to see the songs. The songs are in the music app. There is no need for iTunes to see the songs. You imported the songs from CD into iTunes - correct? The songs are in your iTunes library on the computer. Once again, there is no need for iTunes on the iPad to see the songs.
Are you talking about iTunes Match? If not, why does iTunes need to see the songs? The songs are in the Music app. -

How can I view the videos of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?
How can I view the videos from the internet and networking of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?
Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

ITunes 11 - Gapless Albums not working
I have some "gapless" albums in my Library. This should mean that when playing the album back, no pause or gap should be heard between each track on these albums. Apparently iTunes 11 identifies gapless albums, and dissables "Crossfade Songs" for the
