Help pls....have os x 10.4 not good enough for itunes or iPhone?

Hi All,
I have a macbook version 10.4.11. I have had it for a long time but honestly i probably use about 1 % of it! And i really don't know much about how to use it, i just use it for the internet.
I now have an iPhone, but i don't have a good enough version of iTunes. I have tried to download the latest version, but it says i need at least os x 10.5. I can't seem to find out how to get this? Do i need to buy it or can i just download it? I can find a lot about getting snow leopard, but that says it requires at least os x 10.5 to download it but i don't have that.
So what do i need to do? Do i need to buy os x 10.6? I just can't seem to find os x 10.5 anywhere which is what i need and want i i have got it right?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

kurt188: I believe all true Macbooks are Intel and it is the preceeding iBook that is the PPC equivalent. Still, it's good to double check which the OP has.

HT1386 mac itunes is current but not good enough for mini. how to get min to sync?

The Mac itunes is current but not the same as the mini. Do i have to purchase software in order to add another device the mini onto my growing pile of apple? Will this upgrade effect the other older apple devices running older versions?

What is the OS on your Mac and what version of iTunes? For the OS version click on the Apple logo in the top left corner then About this Mac.

Time machine backup suddenly not good enough for my 2011 MBP

My macbook pro refused to back up today, stating that the identity of the time machine backup that it has been using for several months has changed identity. It then proceeded to backup the ENTIRE computer again to a new sparsebundle named the exact same thing but with a 1 after it.
I was able to connect to and explore the original backup by pointing time machine to it, but when it backed up next it made the new sparsebundle again.
What gives? How can i force the computer to use the old backup again?

Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails with iCloud now loosing business. Not good enough and lack of info from Apple is also not good enough!

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails on iCloud. This is now loosing me business! Not Good enough Apple and your lack of information is poor customer service.

Unfortunately, Apple does not yet allow merging of Apple ID's. if you were once using [email protected] as your Apple ID then there is no way to link that ID with the new one to avoid losing the previous data under that old ID. You will have to either go back to using the old ID to save the old data or just keep both, which you arfe allowed to do.

You can try recovery mode to see if you can revive the iPad.

Have you left the iPad charging for a couple of hours or so to be sure?

What happens when you try to buy something ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes support then you can do so via this page and ask them why the message is appearing (we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it's a different problem ... ?

Regular or smart?
You may need to remove any references to Podcasts, e.g. use "Playlist is Music" instead of "Podcast is false".

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

HT204053 i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone. how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone. how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

To change the ID:
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>Facetime.
For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPod. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
Thank you.

You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
2) Click the button in bottom left of your window:
3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

Does anyone have a phone number to actually call support for itunes store

does anyone have a phone number to actually call support for itunes store

You're probably right - however I only stumbled in here yesterday through Google, I'd not visited the site before and really only registered to say "me too" and look for an answer.
I've never been a huge Apple fan, but when I finally moved to an iPod from Creative and Sony players last year, I was quite impressed. So much so that I also upgraded to an iPhone this year. Never had previous experience of trouble with iTunes and believed Apple's hype about reliability - lesson learnt!
I've found no answers here or from Apple themselves so I probably won't be back - and the iPad and Macbook will come out of my wish list!
