Cannot update OSX version 10.6.8 on my mac in order to sync iphone 5s with itunes

I cannot update OSX version 10.6.8 on my mac in order to sync iphone 5s with itunes, I am currently running 10.5.8 which appears not to support iphone 5s, i have available space on my mac but cannot seem to install. What am i doing wrong, what do i need to do ?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update twice.
If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Cannot sync iphone 3gs with itunes 10.3

Iphone will not sync with itunes because itunes freezes everytime the phone is plugged into computer. I have windows 7 32 bit machine. I have also tried on macbook pro 10.3 itunes and it crashes as well. I cannot restore my phone because itunes freezes. It deleted all my music from my phone, however it still lists that the music is still on the phone. I have a iphone 3gs 4.3.2, cannot download and install 4.3.3 due to itunes freezing.

I can't sync with iTunes too. My 3GS was updated to 4.3.3 (8J2) by the local Mac store yesterday after a failed attempt to update from 4.1 using iTunes version 10.3.1. All apps, photos, contacts, etc was wiped.
Because I can't see my iPhone in iTunes I can't restore it. I've tried restarting the PC, and trying different USB ports to no avail.

To be able to sync the music from your iPhone or download any purchased music you purchased on your iPhone via your Mac?
No.
All music is purchased through iTunes. You could try the version of iTunes you have now on your Mac to see if any of your newly purchased music and iOS Apps can be downloaded to you Mac, but you will NOT be able to sync your iPhone at all to get any data or info off of if into iTunes
One way to get pictures off of your iPhone is to email them to yourself and/or try to find a cloud service, like DropBox, that will still be compatible with your version of OS X and a version that is on the App Store for iOS and use this from your iPhone to get info to your Mac.The Mac version has to work with OS X 10.5 Leopard to be able to work back and forth between your iPhone and Mac.
You will have Google for this as I have no idea if there are any cloud services available that will work with a Mac running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
This OS X version is very old and many developers have abandoned support for this OS X version.
No newer versions of OS X will not work or be downloadable as these only work with newer Intel CPU Macs and all version of OS X from OS X 10.7 Lion and forward are download only, now, from the Mac Apps Store which is only available from Mac OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard onward and OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is for newer Intel Macs and WILL NOT work on older PowerPC Macs like yours.
Other than the alternatives I gave you, a new or newer (used) Intel Mac are your only options.
Your Mac is just too old ( almost 10 years old).
Sorry,
Good Luck!

Cannot sync iPhone 4s with iTunes 11.1.4.62

I just updated to iTunes 11.1.4.62 and now I can't sync iPhone 4s. In fact, iTunes now does not recognize that iPhone is even connected under DEVICES. Was working fine before this iTunes update.

I found the answer on this website!!!
Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel.
Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
Select the "Hardware" tab at the top When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button.
Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner.
Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
Select "Update Driver".
Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
iTunes 11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already.

I'm having a similar problem with After Effects CC, cannot update to version 12.1 from 12.0....tried uninstalling AE, tried reinstalling CC app...no change.
I can install AE-CC 12.1 on a new machine without issue.
Please provide the files to be removed to force update.
I'm using 10.9 - Mavericks and cannot use AE without this update.

Attempted to install update manually but rcvd error listed below. Admin is not suppressing updates, I can confirm as I am the admin. Also, other apps update without issue.
I've noted that users have experienced a similar issue with Photoshop, listed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5875088#5875088

I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8.

I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I will begin the update process but it will never complete it - often crashes before it finishes the process. Any recommendations?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes.

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes. ITunes will recognize and sync up, but I now cannot manage my music on my phone. Also, all of my playlists on my iPhone were wiped out. It would be great to retrieve my phone playlists, but more important, be able to manage my music again. I'm running on Windows 7 and I own iPhone 5. Suggestions?

I have windows 8, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but i figured maybe 11.1.4 just doesn't like 8. soooo.. i went onto my computer settings and uninstalled anything and everything made my apple and then reinstalled itunes 11.1.3 and it now reads my ipod nano happy day thanks apple for making something that you can't help me with at all

Cannot install flash version 10.1.0 onto a mac 10.4.11

Hello,
I cannot install flash version 10.1.0 onto a mac 10.4.11 and therefore cannot use YouTube or the BBCIplayer. Is there a compatability problem?

I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it. There is nothing else we can suggest.
