Can i update to ios 7 if i am using a macbook 5,1 that runs iTunes 10.6.3?

my macbook is the 5,1 model and i know it's running on outdated software, but i am unable to afford the software update at this time. i have an iphone 4s and i haven't had any issues performing software updates in the past with this computer. i would download ios 7 over wifi, but the wifi option on my iphone is permanently grayed out, as a result of downloading ios 6 (i have already tried restoring, didn't work). i am unable to update my iTunes, as a result of the os on this computer being outdated. again, i am running itunes 10.6.3, i think. itunes recognizes that ios 7 is available for download when i plug in my iphone, but when i click on the "Update" button, a box saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." comes up.

Well, you have to minimally upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
But this costs money, so you can't do it. That means your are stuck where you are.

How can I get my email access back after downloading the new iTunes on my iPhone?

Yesterday I downloaded the latest iTunes 11.01.12 on my PC (Windows 7), then sync'ed to my iPhone G4. Now when I try to access one of my email accts, I get the message: "The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding..." I have checked the acct info in Mail settings and all seems in order (IMAP Path Prefix is blank, Server Port is 993). Strangely, my other email acct (also gmail) is working. I have tried restarting, re-

What is a "G4" iPhone? No such thing exists.
Regardless, installing iTunes on the computer has no affect on being able to access an email account on an iPhone.

I never updated my iphone to IOS 6.1.4 and now I can't update to IOS 7, how can I get IOS 7?

I never got round to updating my iPhone 5 to IOS 6.1.4 (I think that's it!) and now I can't update to IOS 7!
How do I get around this?
Thank you!

Why can't you update?
There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
What happens when you try to update?
Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

I can't backup my iPad to my computer so I can't update to iOS 5

I have an iPad and I still can't update to iOS 5 since it came out. The original computer that my iPad would sync to is gone and I authorized my new computer but i never checked the music box and video box and app box so it doesn't sync but to back my stuff up to update, I need to sync but when I check the box to sync my music or videos exc.. it says all my music will be deleted and replaced with the music from my library but...there is no music or apps or videos or podcast in my library. and I do not want to lose my music and apps there are a ton of them. Any recommendations into fixing this problem?

Transfer Purchase from the iPad to the computer.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Transfer Purchase. That will put all of the iPad purchased content into the iTunes library.

Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there. Is that possible?

Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

HT4623 can I update to ios 6 on iphone 3g

Can I update to ios 6 on iphone 3g?

Sorry but no. iOS 4.2.1 was the last version of iOS an iPhone 3G would run. If you have iOS 4.3.3 on your phone, then unless your iPhone was hacked, you actually have an iPhone 3GS which can upgrade to iOS 6. You can confirm your model here:

Hey Kaylamoefoe,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are curious about the compatibility of your iPhone 4s with iOS 7. Good news! The minimum system requirement for iOS 7 is the iPhone 4, so you can definitely update!

Can't update from ios 7 to ios 7.0.2

Ok, I have a ipod 5th gen with ios 7. But I can't update to ios 7.0.2. I reset my ipod and went on iTunes(up to date) and I still couldn't do it. The I decided to try to restore my ipod and I couldn't even do that. When I tried it said "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPod 'iPod touch 0_o' The requested resource was not found." I looked all around on the internet and Apple website to see if anyone had an answer, but I couldn't find any. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome, thanks for the help!

Disable your antivirus and firewall software. Kaspersky is especially bad about interfering with updates.
