HT201250 unable to sync music on itunes from macbook laptop to new iphone 5

I just bought iphone 5. my mac book is OS X version 10.5.8.
Prolem is I am trying to sync music from itunes as i did in iphone 4, but unable to do it because it requires itunes 10.7 and Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. What I have to do now?? Why iphone 5 is not compatible with my existing itunes as I did on iphone4??

Because in designing the iPhone 5 Apple needed to use an Updated version of iTunes in order to offer all the new features that the iPhone 5 offers.  This is discussed in a Support Article on the Mac's OS X Requirements for syncing with the iPhone 5.  Apple has always had to update its Apps and OS's in order to offer new features.  You just haven't Upgraded your Mac and its version of OS X in a long time.  Now would be a good time.
Hope this helps

  • How can I transfer music and iTunes from my mac to my iPhone?

    I have a macbook air and need to transfer some of my music and itunes from my mac to my newly updates iphone4. Previously I used to drag what I wanted from my itunes to my phone but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

    First step, of course, is to plug your iPhone into your Macbooks Air. Then, you need to set up syncing how you want it in iTunes (on the MBA). If you want to be able to drag and drop music, select "manually manage music" on the Summary pane in iTunes.

    How do I download music and photos from existing iPad to new iphone

    Perform a backup to iTunes from the old device and then a restore to the new device, use ITunes to do this.  BTW, always sync photos to a computer to store them safely (use iPhoto on a mac or to a designated folder on a PC).  Never trust an iOS device to keep photos without having them synced to a computer.

    How do you sync iTunes from iPad to,iPhone5?

    You don't.
    You sync each devie to your computer not to each other.
    All of your music should be on your computer.  If it is not, then put it there.
    You can then sync it to whatever idevice you like.

  • IPhone4s updated to IOS.7 unable to sync music with iTunes after updated to 11.1

    I just recently updated both my iPhone4s to IOS.7 and iTunes to 11.1, but since then I haven't been able to sync any of my music.
    I tried everything:
    - I restarted my iTunes and iPhone and my PC a couple of times
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    - Syncing with wifi and other options repeatedly *Manually managing music as well
    - thorough check of album or song errors
    - restored iPhone
    - creating a new library playlist
    - and other suggested measures to be taken provided through discussions
    At the end it always ends up syncing to the very last step "Waiting for changes to be applied" ; everything is working nothing is frozen or glitched, the syncing arrows that go around also work, but after sometime the arrows stop and then it just doesn't seem to proceed after that step.
    Can someone please find a solution for this? Or atleast give me some other methods that might solve my problem. If this is a bug, please do make some update arrangements to fix this error! >.<

    - Downgrading the iPod is not supported by Apple.
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try restoring your iPod. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.
