I want to put music on my iPhone 4, but am not able to because I can not download the version of iTunes required because my mac computer is too old.

Am just having troubles in adding music to my new phone in that when I connect it to my computer it says that the phone requires the new version of iTunes being 10.5, but when I go to download this for my mac computer it says that this version of iTunes requires a different mac, meaning that my computer is too old.  So I am just wondering how I can get music onto my phone?!

You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer.  We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box.   The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

  • My friend wants to put music on their iPhone 5C but they do not have a laptop with iTunes that hasn't been associated with another iPhone/iPod. Is there any way they can skip linking their phone to the iTunes and JUST get the music?

    The iPhone has not been associated with any iTunes as I was a little scard to connect it to mine as I do not want all my friend's apps on my phone. Also, we use different apple IDs so would we be able to have two apple IDs associated with one computer?
    SO CONFUSED.
    Please help!

    Your friend can get a new Apple Id for themselves, and create a different account on one of the laptops. Then put all their music in a separate iTunes library, and sync the phone to that particular library.
    This will keep there music separate from your library and their brother's library.
    Just make another User on your computer for your friend to store their music in.

  • After copying a movie to the harddisk of my MacBook I wanted to also copy it to my iPad, but for this you first have to copy it to the library in iTunes, but this doesn't seem to be working. So how can I get this movie to the library ? And to the iPad ?

  • Why is Apple putting music on my iPhone that I did not ask for and do not want ?

    I have a Mac Pro and an iPod Classic that I use for my music.
    I noticed today that some of my purchased music was on my iPhone iTunes app. I did not ask for these to be installed.
    Also, I noticed that when I tap on a song, sometimes it plays, sometimes nothing happens.

    Do you mean this
    No.
    These are thousands of songs that I purchased using my Mac Pro.  I sync my iPod Classic with a USB cable to move the songs to the iPod.
    Now, my purchased songs (not the ones imported into my Mac Pro using a CD), are in my iPhone.   I do not use the cloud.  I have been very careful not to sign up for anything related to the cloud.
    I'm trying to figure out why Apple is forcing this on me.

    What a joke Apple is. So many problems with restoring and updating phones. Definitely NOT users friendly anymore. A simple update to iOS7 causes MASSIVE mayhem and bricks 10's of thousands of phones WTG Apple. Hope Samsung smashes you out of the phone market. I will NEVER buy another Apple product again. You will NEVER see this on Android phones NEVER!!!

  • I book G4 will not boot up/want to re install but do not know the version??

    My kid did something to our I book, and now it is stuck on a blank blue screen.
    I have tried many different things, and now just want to re install the software
    and hope for the best.. i got a disk from a friend of 10.4.. and after the language
    it says cannot install.. Maybe this is the wrong version of Op Sys??
    what to do.. maybe this is security issue..
    I would buy a new op sys.. but do not know which one was used.. we bought the comp
    on E bay.///
    Help..

    If the iBook G4 build model you have is among the last of their production,
    (mid-2005) those shipped with a machine series-specific restore/install
    DVD and an early retail version of Tiger 10.4 probably won't work.
    The 'mid-2005' iBook G4 12/14" 1.33/1.42GHz
    computers included Tiger, one of these:
    Mac OS X 10.4.2 (8D37)
    Mac OS X 10.4.4 (8G32)
    A last-version retail install DVD Tiger 10.4.6 could work, but it would
    not include the other software as-shipped with the iBook when new.
    If your computer is a late-2004, it shipped with Panther 10.3.x
    and any Tiger retail install DVD (not for a specific model) can
    work so long as the computer build supports the OS X version.
    And, an even older iBook (G3) may have shipped with a boot OS
    X version on CD media, and not even have a Combo optical drive.
    The first iBook G4 should have at least a Combo (dvd reader) drive.
    • How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349
    You can check the iBook serial number against an online search
    to find its build-date; then use that info to learn more about it.
    • Decode a Mac's serial number:
    http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com/Desktop/index.php
    • Identify your Mac - serial number model lookup:
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    • Klantenservice: Serienummers
    http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
    With the serial number information, if the computer is not
    super old, it may still be possible to get a replacement set
    of install discs from *Apple Sales 1-800-MY-APPLE* and if
    they still can get you a duplicate or replacement set, there
    would be a fee; you may get lucky, if it isn't too old a Mac.
    A 'replacement set' would constitute an 'original' vintage set.
    • Apple - Support - iBook:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/
    You can check the build model run (ie: Late 2004, Early 2003, etc)
    in this Apple warranty coverage page by using Serial number input:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    +Even if the computer is way out of warranty. This can help identify.+
    The MacTracker D/L database of Apple product information,
    general specs which may be helpful to identify configuration
    & update a product, can be found here: http://mactracker.ca
    However that works out...

  • Paid for iPhone 4 but was not sent the phone from apple

    I have had the worst service in my life with apple reps and upper level managers at many different apple numbers and e mail letters in the past month I will never advise anyone to deal with apple ever .I have spent the past month waisting my time trying to get my I phone 4 I had sent a postal money order in to apple for. And no word of a lie I have spent a obout 50 hrs trying to simply get my phone I was told was on it's way over 2 months ago and that they had gotten my money order and I should receive the phone in with 2 weeks . I even ended up sending in my copy of the postal money order to apple for the last time I called in they had no record of anything to do with my order. And now 2 months later I have no phone and sent everything I have to do with this order into the Austin Texas apple office I was given and now after waisting so much time and money i still don't have my phone. This is the most awful service I have ever had in my life and I am so angry from beeing treated like this I am going to make it my duty to let everyone I know and post this everywhere on the Internet about this . I have never gotten this sinister about anything in my life mainly because I have never been treated as the customer comes last anywhere but with apple.

    That was the adress given to me by 1800myapple to send the postal money order to. And I hav spoken to the Canada office as well as many other offices to try to figure out why I'm down almost 1000 and still have no phone I ordered
