How do you upgrade macbook from 2008 to 10.6 so i can sync my new ipad with retina display?

please help with question above

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to upgrade my 2008 macbook to an operating system that would allow me to download iTunes 10.7 that is what is needed to sync my iPad.  Right now iTunes won't recognize my iPad at all.
I want to make sure that whatever I need to buy won't mess up the way my computer runs. It runs perfectly at the moment. I have run the software update feature on my comp and there are no updates. i cant get past 10.5.8. what is the best solution ?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • How do I upload my contacts, calendar and notes from outlook 2007 to my new iPad with retina display

    I just cleaned up my outlook 2007 contact files.
    I have an iPhone 5, a new iPad with retina display, and a PC, which is where the outlook program is.
    I also have an iCloud account
    How do I get the contacts, calendar and notes from outlook to any of these devices, so I can have one synced contact file on all three devices?
    I'm sure I am not the first one asking about this but I am new to Apple, and loving it.

    With your device connected and iTunes open, navigate to the 'info' tab and scroll down. You'll see the option to sync contacts and such from outlook.

  • Hi apple, I have the new ipad with retina display, i have however cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace this ipad with the same one. It is a 32gig. Thanks

    Hi apple,
    I have the new ipad (4th gen) with retina display. Yesterday I cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace it with the same ipad. I have the 32gig ipad with wifi.
    Thanks

    The iPad will be $329 AUD if replaced via postage service or $309 AUD if replaced at an Apple Store. Yes they will give you the replacement and take your old iPad so I would suggest if you can back it up to iTunes so that you can restore the back up to the replacement.

  • HT1373 I have a new Ipad with retina display but two issues with itunes 1) I can not syncronize films&music with the library on my mac and 2) When I download music or films from itunes to my ipad from itunes store the download never finishes. Any help??

    I have a two problems with my new Ipad 2 operating system iOS 6.1.3
    1) I can not syncronize with my itunes purchaces that I have on my mac book pro (operating system mountain lion)
    2) When i purchase items from itunes store the downloads never finishes
    I have tried starting and re-starting. Resetting the Ipad to original settings and non of this have worked. Any idea to what I should do?
    Thanks a lot, Josephine

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • I have a new ipad with retina display and the orientation change from portrait to landscape is extremely slow? How can I improve the speed?

    Any ideas on how to improve the speed ?

    Hi rodtheprod,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If a movie from the iTunes Store supports multiple languages, they can usually be changed as outlined in the following article:
    iTunes: Language settings for video

    If this is not possible and no changes have been made to the country settings for the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading the movie (if it is still available):

  • How is your New iPad with Retina Display (4Gen) battery life?

    I managed to get 6 hrs play out of my NEW ipad4 that connect to wifi and have brightness set 50%. (i said 6hrs because there is a 15% drop in battery each hour) is it good or not?How about yours?

    There are some tips for maximising battery life between charges on this page : http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html  e.g. turn off notifications, decrease the frequency of checking/fetching emails, turn off wifi if not using it etc

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

    My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

  • How to transfer pictures from computer ( Windows 7) to iPad with Retina display ?

    How to transfer pictures from computer ( Windows 7) to iPad with Retina display ?

    Note that, if you use iTunes to sync photos onto the iPad, you'll need to use iTunes to take them off.
    if you don't have a lot and want to keep deletability, you may want to consider mailing them to yourself, or uploading them to something like dropbox, then downloading them (via the dropbox app) to your iPad.
    there are also several photo syncing apps out there that may suit your needs. Afraid I don't have any to recommend. But syncing via iTunes isn't the only way to get photos onto your iPad..it's just the  built in way

  • Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?

    Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 (or even an ipad 3 if it ever gets released !) with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?
    Thanks

    You will be able to restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync all of the other content but you may need to update a bunch of apps in order for them to work with iOS 5 - but yes - you can use that backup.

  • How do you get ipad with retina display to display widescreen on a tv

    hi, i just bought an ipad with retina display and an av adapter to go with it, and when i plug them into my tv it only displays a small window, i would like to know if there is a way to make it display widescreen.

    It is the aspect ratio's fault. HDTV follows 16:9 or 16:10 format. iPad follows 4:3 format. So no, you cannot get a perfect picture in the same ratio as that of your TV.
    But there's something you can do on your own. In your TV, search for input aspect ratio settings. Then configure it to follow stretched or zoom mode to use the whole canvas. Using stretched mode will cause the picture to be stretched horizontally. Using zoom mode will remove some percentage of top and bottom in the picture.
