Do i need to have latest version of imac10.5.8 to connect to iphone5

do i need to have latest version of imac10.5.8 to connect to iphone orother devices of apple and how much it is ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To sync the iPhone 5, you need iTunes 10.7, that needs Mac OS X Snow Leopard. You have Leopard, so you have to upgrade OS X.
First, open  > About this Mac, and check Processor. If it's Intel, you can upgrade. If not, get a new Mac or PC if you want to sync the iPhone 5.
You can buy Snow Leopard from the Apple Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup of your files with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, insert the DVD and follow the steps.
After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8. Doing this, you should have iTunes 10.7 or newer, but if not, open  > Software Update again. iTunes 11.0.4 will be installed

hi nbinc,
thanks so much for replying..
i tried what you said.
and I get this reply: can't sign in. wrong password...
tried getting new password but doesn't work either.
below the original info.plist in text.
I had a doubt with one of the string I had to change...
<string>Skype version 2.8.0.866 (18210), Copyright © 2004-2010 Skype Technologies S.A.</string>
tried replacing the number only and then the whole string for what you told me: <string>6.3.0.602</string>
but neither worked...
I hope you can still help me out...
thanks!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Hi mwalk,
Try this.
Launchpad (second page) Disk Utility
Or if you can't find it there,
Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Storage > Disc Utility
Select Macintosh HD and Repair Permissions.

You need to purchase a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM. Run Software Update twice afterwards.
If you're already running Mac OS X 10.6, run Software Update until it gives you the option of installing iTunes 11.

Ahhh, the mysteries of software updating...glad it is working for you now. Sometimes you just have to be persistent until iTunes figures out you aren't going to go away.
So, are you now updating the iPhone to iOS 5.0.1?
If you already have 5.0 and a wireless connection you don't need to use iTunes to update to 5.0.1...the wireless update only means a file of about 38 MB, while via iTunes it is the entire iOS and about 730 MB...big time difference.
Hope all goes well for you.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

If you're talking about using Flash on your iPod, you can't. There is no version of Flash that will work on any iOS device. If you're talking about using Flash on your computer, you may want to repost in the correct forum.

Do I have latest versions of Photoshop CC and LR??

I belong to "Photoshop Photography Program" ($10.75/month) and don't remember how to be sure I have latest versions of PS and LR. Thanks.

Thank you the information. Unfortunately I am not very computer literate. I am using a Mac computer. Running Mac OS 10.8.5. My Photoshop CC version is: 14.2.1. My bigger question to you is - I do not understand how the app (Adobe Creative Cloud) works. When I open "Launchpad" on my Mac I see icons for a bunch of Apps. One of them is "Creative Cloud." When I double click this icon nothing happens (at least that I am aware of). On the other hand, when I double click on the "Adobe Photoshop CC" icon - Photoshop opens. I would appreciate your advice about finding the app you mention and then how to open it. May I presume that once the Creative Cloud is open I can click to have latest Photoshop and Lightroom versions installed? Many thanks. Ron

Iphone 5 itunes trouble! itunes on laptop message says i dont have latest version

Hi,I have latest version of itunes on my laptop. I have copied a music CD so i can sync it to my iphone. when i connect my iphone 5 to the laptop i get a message saying 'claire's iphone cannot be used as dont have latest itunes version'. when i check my iphone it says all of my software is up to date. im not very experienced nor technically minded at all so would appreciate help.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
