Problem syncing upgrade iPhone with older Macbook

Today I synced my iPhone 3GS for the first time with my Dad's Macbook Pro. I updated my iPhone to version 4.3.2m as it suggested. Now I can't (re)sync my iPhone to my own (older) Macbook Pro (10.4.11). It says I need iTunes 10 , but I can't get that with 10.4.11. Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard and if so will I lose all my documents and files? thanks.

What version of iTunes do you have on your Mac : iTunes > About iTunes ? And what version of OS X do you have on your Mac ?

  • Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
    If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

    Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

    Yes.
    1) With iTunes and an USB cable.
    2) Using MobileMe over the air. (I think it's replaced by iCloud soon [5th Oct.])
    I would just wait and create an iCloud account when it's released.

  • Why is it taking so long to sync my iPhone with my macbook

    I have tried several times to sync my iPhone with my Macbook but is seems to get stuck to syncing email. I'm only syncing my Mac mail account which has 470 emails in it so I don't know why it's hanging here.

    how do you expect us to know? contact Apple directly and ask them.

  • I can't sync my iPhone with my macbook pro?

    its a long story but what happened was a few months ago in June of 2014 I found out my macbook pro had a virus. I have had my mac for almost a year before June so I had synced my iPhone which was running 7.0.6 and still is since I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 8. So the only way to get rid of the virus I had to erase my entire mac. I basically returned it to factory settings. I lost all my data. Lucky I saved some of my data on an external hard drive. Now fast forward to today Nov 27 and I had downloaded music from iTunes on the same iPhone and i wanted to sync my music on iTunes and my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and it says that my iPhone 5s is synced with another computer but in reality its the same computer its just I restarted my mac to factory settings. I've tried going online to see if there's a way to bypass it and trick my iPhone into thinking its syncing the with the same iTunes cause thats the reason it won't sync with two computers but my problem is I'm using the same mac and i can't find a way to fix my problem. PLEASE HELP ME.

    Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

  • Problem syncing my iphone with itunes

    Right i have been given a Power Mac G4
    I have managed to get the itunes that was already installed on the computer to work with my itunes account, but when i plug my iPhone in to the computer, it comes up with the following message...
    ''The iPhone ''Riki Urquhart'' cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes''
    I followed these instructions and when i went to load the new version of iTunes on to the computer i get a message saying there is a problem with my system and i need Mac os x 10.5 or later...
    Can someone please help me as i need to get my iPhone backed up and cleared as i have no memory left and need to organise the phone better, plus i havent managed to update in for over one year?
    Riki

    Not gonna work.
    iPhone 4G requires 10.5.8 or later & iTunes 10.1 or later.
    You should update your OS to 10.4.11 (run Software update from Apple menu). This is the most recent OS your system can run.
    Also, iTunes 2009 is not a version. iTunes menu iTunes > About iTunes.

  • Hi all, ever ytime I sync my Iphone with my MACBOOK PRO, it sync everything back in time (6months)

    Anyone?

    I reinstalled Lion and itunes, but I couldn't fix this problem.
    In my case iphone did not detected by the mac and was impossible to charge.
    But, a very weird thing happend.
    When I used another cable, it worked!!
    So, I thoungt that cable broke down.
    And I bought two cables yesterday.
    One works very well, but the other does not work.
    It's really strange.
    I think itunes 10.4.1 has some issue with cable connection. I konw that it's ridiculous supposition.
    Anyway, I fixed this problem.
    Thanks!!

    I already updated my payment information and still getting the error

    Doublechecking. Did you also check on the system preferences (for Sharing) as per the 1008 section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?
