Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8 My MacBook can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8
My MacBook is too old and  can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook.
It all worked perfectly prior to updating the iPad 2 to OS7.
There were no cautions or warnings
Are there any work arounds?
Can I uninstall OS7 and go back to OS6?
Rediculous thing is I can connect to iTunes on an old PC of the same age

Thanks for your comments but this doesn't help my situation at all.
Again Apple fails to provide backward support for its own products.
I could go to the trouble of hacking the MacBook and running Mountain Lion and iTunes 11 that way
I think I will just move across to a PC as a result of this Apple strategy and I think I will just give up on Apples short lived product strategy.
A laptop that lasts five years indicates a long lived product strategy.  Where they go wrong is to prevent backwards strategy when someone genuinely cannot live with ios7 like you. even the "unsupported" downgrade has now been blocked.
Don't go windows,  you will not get five good years from a dell or an asus. If you can't buy Mountain Lion for it,  get a new macbook, enjoy.

  • TS1368 I've updated my iPad to OS7 and now can't connect to the App Store. It works on my phone and interject connection is fine. Any thoughts?

    I've updated to OS7 on my iPad and now can't connect to the App Store.  The internet is working and it works on my phone, though slow;  is this an App Store problem or a problem with the software upgrade? Am I alone with this issue?

    belive it or not this worked for me:
    “Go to Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again or press the button from Passbook. If you get an error message, go back to the Settings app and change Date and Time > Set Automatically back to On. Then go back and try again.”
    please note that when you go to app store when you change time to future go through passbook / and close the app then and then wehn you set time back to auto go back to app store through passbook and it will work then close it and then normal app store icon will work form now on
    good luck

  • HT201210 I tried to update my ipa to OS7 and now it's stuck on an itunes screen.  I don't even use itunes on this ipad.  I hae tried restring and it doesn't work.  What should I do?

    I tried updating my ipad to OS7.  Now it is frozen on an itunes screen.  I dont even use itunes on this devie.  I have tried restoring but nothing works.  Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What are my options for having my case for my Early 2008 white macbook repaired?

    I own an early 2008 white macbook and as most people know they were notorious for ending up with cracks in the plastic body. Well, mine has it's fair share of cracks and the little nob on the bottom used for securing the battery in place has also broken off. The computer still runs great and does everything I need, but the keyboard and trackpad are glitchy, the battery won't stay in place, and it just kind of looks bad with the cracks. How can I go about getting these things fixed? I read that apple was fixing the cases for free for a while if it was within 5 years of purchase but I was NEVER told about this even when I took the laptop into the apple store several times for general questions and I am now beyond 5 years since purchase. I've seen plenty of third party sites to buy new cases on, but is there any chance the apple store would be willing to replace it for me still a this point? Also, since the plastic casing is so prone to cracking is it possible to replace my keyboard with one of the keyboards from the late 2008 aluminum body to avoid future chipping or would this not fit my model?

    Call an Apple store and ask.

    You have to connect your iPad to your computer now and restore the iOS software with iTunes. The update went bad. Read about how to do it here.

    You updated you're phone to 7.0.6? Thats impossible since you can only update to the newest OS version Apple released which is currently 7.1.1. Unless you updated before April 22 and just now posting you're question.

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

  • New Ipod update screwed up my ipod and now it won't connect

    My computer got reset over the weekend and I had to put all my ipod songs on the computer again. I did that and was about to connect my ipod to sync to the new Itunes. I decided to download and install the new update (which I had been avoiding doing for a while) for the ipod. It downloaded it, but when it tried to install it on my ipod, he gave me an error message. Now, all my ipod Touch shows me is a picture of a USB cord, the Itunes icon and an arrow pointing between the USB and the Itunes icon. I think this means to connect it to Itunes but Itunes doesn't find it when I connect the ipod. I've tried restarting the ipod but it doesnt work and I can't bring it back to factory settings if I can't connect it to itunes.

    hi hanka
    you can do a few things (but make sure that all your music on your touch is safely sotred on your computer otherwise if you reset it you could lose all your music on your touch but not on your computer.
    1. press and hold the home button the square at the bottom of the itouch for about 6 seconds (maybe a bit more).
    2. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1394
    3.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    reseting your ipod deletes everything on it (not number 1.) But as you are syncing your music it should be easy to restore.
    to reset you hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for about 10 seconds then slide the bar to turn off your ipod and connect to your computer it will notify you (if all goes to plan) that its going restore or reset your ipod. if your music is on your computer then your music will be safe.
    if none of this works apple has a returns policy if it is less than a year old and they should replace it unless you have done something that is against the warranty.

  • Just upgraded my iPad Mini software and now it is stuck in a reboot and won't come on.  Please help!

    Hello.
    I just noticed that a software update was available.  I think it was iOS7.  Did not really take note of what it was.  But now my iPad Mini won't come on.  it is stuck in a reboot and has been that way for at least an hour.  Just tried to attach a picture of the screen without success.
    If it was a phone, I'd have taken out the battery and just reinserted it but I can't do that with the iPad.
    What can I do???  Please help!!! 
    Thank you.

    Much better to update your iPad's software while it's connected to a wall outlet via the cable and adapter that came with it. Do not update on battery power alone.
    Follow the instructions here >   If you can't update or restore your iOS device
