Can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this?

can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this? Is there an itunes update? or How can I return to the previous ios?

To sync an iOS 7 device you need to be running iTunes 11.1.1; iTunes 10.6 is way too old and won't work. You need to install iTunes 11.1.1, but to do that you need to be running at least Mac OS X 10.6.8.
So you need to do the following:
1. Upgrade your Mac to at least OS X 10.6.8 (later preferably, but 10.6.8 at the miniumum).
    a. Check first to see if your model Mac can be upgraded, check that it has enough RAM and so forth (2GB at the least, more if possible).
    b. If you can't upgrade your Mac, or don't want to, then you will have to buy a new Mac with the latest version of OS X (currently 10.8.5, soon to become 10.9) and iTunes 11.1.1
2. Install iTunes 11.1.1 on your newly upgraded Mac.
3. Sync your iOS 7 iPhone with iTunes.

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

  • Trying to sync new iPhone 6 plus with Itunes on PC

    trying to sync new iPhone 6 plus with Itunes on PC

    Good.  I hope it's going well!
    If not, you should know you need a recent copy of iTunes on your computer.
    You should also check out the iPhone Manual:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 8.1
    Otherwise, if you are looking for help, it would be good if you told us exactly what your issues are.  What do you see?  What happens (or does not happen)?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,

  • TS4062 How can I sync my iPhone 6 wirelessly with iTunes?

    I have been syncing my various iPhones with iTunes for many years. I know how to do it. However, my iPhone 6 will not sync wirelessly with iTunes. It will sync with USB. It sometimes, but rarely, will sync wirelessly if I shut down the iPhone and reboot it, but most often it won't even then.
    My iPad will sync wirelessly with iTunes when it is plugged in to AC power. The iPhone 6 won't.
    Both my iPhone and iPad are running IOS 8.1.1
    My Macbook Air is running Yosemite.
    I have tried the various fixes posted online, i.e. turning off handoff, turning it back on, etc., turning messages on and off, etc. There have been others posted; I have tried them all. Nothing works.
    Is anyone at Apple listening?
    Thanks
    Rex

    Actually it does not tell you how to sync the iPhone to Outlook for Mac!

  • Syncing 2 iphone 4's with itunes on 1 pc

    My partner recently purchased an iphone 4 and synced with itunes.
    I have now bought the same phone and connected it to the pc.
    I incorrectly ticked the box to sync with my partners phone instead of setting up as a new phone. I ended up with all their photos on my phone but cancelled the sync in case I lost my contacts too. Now everytime I connect the phone to the pc it automatically starts to sync "sync in process steps 1 to 5". Can I go back a step and start afresh, adding it as a new phone?
    Thanks.

    Let it sync then restore as a new iphone.

  • Can't sync new Iphone 5S 64GB with itunes or recognized by laptop - total mistery!

    I'm not someone new with these things.
    But I must be cursed or something.
    anyway,
    ever since unpacking, my laptop wont recognize my new iphone 5S 64GB.
    I tried reinstall several times of itunes and assorted apple services and drivers, restarts of win7 64 bit ultimate and iphone too, no luck.
    I tried different ports for USB (without other things attached), different sides, different cables - nothing.
    All other ipads and iphones we have connect perfectly and are recognized in itunes.
    I even had a home 64bit version of win7 on same laptop, and it is recognized there, but I cant do anything with that version since its damaged.
    I tried all apple support steps in several documents.
    I even tried parallel connected iphones to see how the new one behaves in terms of charging (charging also doesnt work) and I got this:
    1. both iphones start charging on laptop restart.
    2. both stop charging in middle of windows loading.
    3. When windows are loaded, old iphone normaly recharges and is seen in itunes, new one not. New one from the box NEVER had option to trust computer.
    I hear a pluging and unpluggin sound when I connect my usb or lightning connector for that new iphone. but nothing further. I tried stopping and restarting services etc....
    Looks to me like my iphone remembers my laptop AND win instalation and doesnt want to connect to them.
    Please help someone????

    after having done all I can for the past two days, and finaly resorting to posting here (and planning to chat with apple support next),
    I restarted windows and hard reset iphone again (like 15th time) and got more sounds of connected disconnected only.
    Other new user got me also same issues.
    Then I again restarted apple mobile service, reinstalled USB driver and restarted windows and .....
    iphone was turned on by the power from turned off state.
    USB new search for connected devices gave a fail answer. (not found).
    I restarted service again and searched for hardware changes.
    and got my iphone safely tucked into my laptop and seen and recharging like a good, lille beawst it really is.
    (48 hours spent trying to solve this. Unbelievable.)

  • My iPhone is recognized by iTunes but not by Windows 7, either as a device or a camera.  How do i fix this?

    I have an Iphone 5s and had to rebuild my laptop.  Once windows 7 was re-installed, I re-installed the latest version of Itunes and connected my Iphone.  Itunes can interact with my Iphone but when I try to get to my Iphone outside of Itunes, specfically to get my pictures off of it, I cant find it.  I have checked the driver and followed instructions for that but it has nto helped my situation.  Any other ideas?

  • I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar from my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes, I have tried everything, even the icloud doesn't seem to do it.

    I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar to the Address Book or iCal via iTunes, I have tried everything including watching support videos and putting this into a search engine. Even icloud doesn't seem to be doing it.

    If you are trying to sync via iCloud, make sure your MacBook is running OSX Lion 10.7.7, and that you have set up your iPhone as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and you MacBook as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.htm (including turning On Contacts and Calendars as shown in step 3).  If you're syncing via iCloud don't check to sync in iTunes too (on the Info tab in iTunes) or you may end up with duplicate data.

  • I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC?  Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

    To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services.  Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services.  You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used).  You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.
