I have OS10.5 and an iPhone5 how do I get my apps, photos and music?

I have an Intel iMac core duo with OS10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.1.  I have a 3GS which I recently upgraded to an iPhone5.  I sync my 3GS and headed to the store to pick up my new phone. The AT&T guy hands me instructions which says I need to update my 3GS (iOS5) device before syncing the new iPhone5 (iOS6). iTunes would not let me update beyond 10.6.1.  Apple, true to its word, I rec'd iOS update on Sep. 21st. So I turned on wifi and update my 3GS to iOS6.  OK now my itunes does not recognize either phone because they are both iOS6.  I never thought for a moment iTunes would not recognize my devices.  Now I'm perplexed.  I'm worried the answer is going to cost me more money.
I do have a wintel XP at my disposal which just downloaded iTunes7 onto, but of course, I have no previous backup stored.  I can't figure out how to get my apps, photos and music onto my new iPhone.   so, when I try to restore, it displays message that if I want to do this it will erase everything on my 3GS.  Funny how itunes 7 is compatible with XP but not Leopard, but that is another discussion.

Upgrade iTunes on the Mac and the OS if required so that you have the correct version for syncing with iOS6.
Alternatively, you can copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the Mac to the PC and then you should be able to sync to the PC without issues.
You'll still need to create a backup on the PC to restore back to the iPhone5.
You can also try backing up the 3GS to iCloud and restoring the iPhone5 from that backup, but that will not restore or sync any media.

    You should be able to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page - if that says that it's already downloaded, then that implies that it's already on your computer

  • HT201317 How do I get all the photos and videos I already have on my ipad and iphone over to photo stream to bring up on my PC

    CAn you please tell me how I can get all the photos and video from my iPad and iPhone that aren't in photo stream so I can get them from my iCloud onto my PC please.

    If you don't physically have the phone then there is no way for you to get the photos or videos.
    Have you been backing up your phone?  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  if so, you can restore that backup to your new phone and get all your contents back.
    did you fail to import pics to your computer as you would a digital camera? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

    I have Photoshop Elements 10.  How do I upload all my photos and albums to Adobe Revel?

    Elements 10 does not have a direct interface with Revel. You can upload from your computer to revel via adoberevel.com, via the revel app if you use Win8 or Mac, or via an upgrade to Elements 11 or 12. (Elements 11 has upload/download ability, Elements 12 has mobile albums that stay in sync)

  • I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

    I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

    Setting up iCloud with the same account data and switching on Photostream should do the trick:
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

    An app was purchased even though I clicked to stop it before hand and took my card details off. Now I've been charged how do I get this app off and get a refund?

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I had to revert my PC to factory settings. I have a recovery folder. How do I get my address book and mail folders back?

    I had a serious system problem on my PC and had to restore it to its factory configuration. During the process, I was prompted by Windows to create a recovery folder on an external device. I have mostly recovered from my disaster. I have reinstalled Thunderbird, but it does not see my old email folders or my address book. How can I get them back?

    Do you have a backup of your files from the computer before you reinstalled? Otherwise this won't be possible

  • I have my i cloud on my ipad, iPhone and Mac pro book but my two apps I downloaded pages and numbers won't connect to my ipad and iPhone. How do I get theses apps on ipad and iPhone?

    How do I get pages and numbers on my iPhone and ipad after it was downloaded on my Mac book pro?

    Pages and Numbers on a Mac are Mac Apps and are downloaded from the Mac App Store. iOS devices use a completely different operating system and the version of Pages and Numbers for that are quite different programming - you can't move Mac applications to an iOS device. The programs will have to be download from the App Store on your devices, and you have to buy them separately from the Mac versions.

  • Upgraded to ios 7.1 battery drain is significant and have lost my calendar events. how do i get my events back and why am i losing so much power now?

    how do i get my calendar events back and why the power drain after upgrading my operating system to 7.1?

    Thought I'd reply to this seen as no one else has, I am also experiencing very similar problems with my 4s and by the looks of it is it's across all handsets. I've never had any battery issues with my iPhone even 7.0.6 was fine, but since updating to 7.1 the battery is ticking down very fast. I fully charged in the morning and left it in my locker all day at work when I got my hands on it it's gone down to 52% just on its own!!
    I really hope they sort this out fast the irony is 7.1 was supposed to help battery life!

  • How do I get my songs, photos and videos onto my Macbook?

    I've had a PC for years and have just recently bought a Macbook. My iPod is currently formatted for Windows. I have about 750 songs, 500 pictures and some videos on my iPod currently. When I got my Macbook, I plugged my iPod into my PC and enabled it for disk use. When I connect the iPod to my Macbook it will only transfer my PURCHASED stuff from iTunes. It will not transfer my songs that were imported from my CD's or any of my videos or photos. I can't figure out how to get all my pictures and the rest of my songs onto my Mac using my iPod. Can anyone help me?

  • How can I get my app store and itunes to work in my iphone without dumping everything?

    I have already dumped my phone twice to get itunes and the app store to work and it only lasts for a small time.  I don't want to dump all my info again and then get everything back to what it should be just to have the stores go down again.  Every time this happens some of my other apps don't work like they are suppose to work.  When I try to ask for help from "professionals" I am treated like no one knows what I am talking about, but every other person I know that has an apple product is having the same issue.  I don't know why it is not being fixed and why I am having to dump everything once or twice a week to keep my ipod and iphone working properly.  You have to dump everything and not restore from back up to get it work.  This is becoming completely unacceptable.  If anyone knows any tricks at all please let me know. (And I have tried the deauthorizing and reauthorizing stuff... it will only let deauthorizing and will not let me sign back in) Thanks.

    You get the develop module to function properly by installing the standalone installation of Lightroom. If the develop module is disabled you still have the creative cloud installation. It will have to be removed. You can download from here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Performing this uninstall/reinstall will have no impact on your images or the work you have done in Lightroom. The catalog and your images are left intact.
