I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?

If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher.

    If you have tried every relevant suggestion from How to Troubleshoot iSight but your camera is still not recognized anywhere in your System Profiler's USB Device Tree, you likely have a hardware problem.
    Properly applying the Combo version of the latest update for your Mac OS can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service on your MacBook Air.

  • HT201269 Can i set up a new iphone 5 on my mac running 10.5 and transfer my data to the new phone

    Can i set up a new iphone 5 on my mac running version 5.0.6 and transfer my data to the new phone from my iphone 3

    No, you need 10.6.8 for an iPhone 5.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    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.
    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 MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

  • I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone?

    I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

    Hello hbell,
    is there any reason that you do not want
    to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
    1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
    yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
    Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
    you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
    to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
    Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
    As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
    so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
    sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
    your iPhone.
    Good Luck,
    A

  • Windows not recognizing my time capsle - I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter).  I've downloaded airport utility...

    I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter).  I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
    What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
    Any help much appreciated!

    In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
    Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
    Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
    Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
    Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)

  • HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • I have a power mac G4. OS 10.4.11 I just got a new iphone G3S what will it take to get my phone to sync with itunes?

    I have a power mac G4 OS 10.4.11  I just purchased a new iphone G3S how can I get it to sync to itunes? When I try I get a message that I need OS 10.5  can I load 10.5 on it? can I still buy 10.5 ?
    CPU speed 800mhz
    memory 512

    Don't fret.
    Find a copy of Leopard (call Apple Customer Support and tell them that you have a machine that can't run Snow Leopard).
    You could also go to eBay.
    After that, install it:

    Leopard will run fine in a 800 MHz machine.

  • My hard drive is failing, need a new one.  What kind should I buy for a Mac osx 10.4.11 Tiger.

    Also I have backed up all my data on a mercury elite external hard drive.  But it would not allow me to clone my drive.  Possible due to the error, failing hard drive.  How would I get my data back on the new drive?

    You can run you Mac from an external harddrive.  I do not notice much difference when I run from an external drive.
    You need to use a coloning program to get the external hd to boot.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!
    Give SuperDuper a workout on your own system. Clone to your heart's content — for free. See what else is possible. When you're convinced that SuperDuper is a terrific solution — and a great value at $27.95 — you can register right from the application and start using its advanced features immediately!

  • I am currently running Mac OSx10.6.8 and need to upgrade to 10.7.5 or later to use Airport Exreme router. I am unsure about Mavericks and want to know if i can upgrade to the next highest OSX. 10.8.5? Any advice?

    If I caddy up the old drive to the new machine and boot to it then de-authorise there will that work
    you need to launch iTunes on the dead Mac in order to de-authorize that computer. if that is not possible, you need to wait until you reach the "5" authorizations. then you get the option to +de-authorize all+ (once a year).
