If I update to iOS4.2 on PC will iPhone still sync with my Mac?

I want to update my iPhone 3GS to the latest version of iOS but only have a Mac running OSX10.4.11 and as such cannot update to iTunes 10, which also means I cannot download the software update for my iPhone!!!
I 've thought of a fix by updating the iPhone software from my laptop (which is running iTunes 10) but am worried that by doing this my iPhone won't be recognised by my Mac - where my whole music library is stored!
Has anyone tried this or does anyone have any advice?

If you do that, you will no longer be able to sync your phone with your Mac. While you can update iPhone software on any computer, in your case you will no longer be able to sync with your Mac, if you do so.

  • If I update my iPhone to iOS 6 will it still sync with my iPad 1 which can not be upgraded?

    If I update my iPhone4s to iOS 6 will it still sync with my iPad 1 which can not be upgraded to that iOS?

    As there is no way to sync an iPad to an iPhone, your question is a bit confusing. You can sync both devices to iTunes or iCloud. That doesn't change.

  • My Ipod Classic will no longer sync with my MAC.

    The message says that for it to sync with the new library, it will have to remove the old one. I don't want to loose my songs, and don't know what to do! It shows that I've purchased the songs on my itunes library, but it doesn't show on my ipod classic!

    Syncing is iTunes keeping your iTunes library (or a defined portion of the iTunes library) "in sync" (the same as) the library on your iPod.  And iTunes syncing of content generally goes in one direction only, from iTunes library on computer to the iPod.  That's why, if you want to sync it to a NEW iTunes library, iTunes is warning you that the existing library on the iPod will be replaced.
    So, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library.  Once your iTunes library is consolidated with ALL of your songs, you can sync your iPod to it.
    NOTE:  If you have songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPod, you can re-download them at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.  The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

    The connection is working because the ipad will still charge but it will not sync.

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

    Your iPhone will act as a camera, in iPhoto.  Open iPhoto, and you should see your iPhone listed in the left hand column, under "devices".

    If possible... you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x  (which will Run iTunes Version 11)
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
    NOTE:
    You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

  • Wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app

    wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app so I am concerned

    If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

  • My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Then try restoring again.

  • I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account.

  • BB Desktop Manager will no longer sync with BB Torch

    My Torch will no longer sync with my desktop.   BB Desktop software shows "Connecting " but this message stays on and does not change and it never connects.   Never had any trouble before.  I've reinstalled BB Desktop Manager but still have same issue.
    The day prior to me noticing this problem I disconnected my torch during a desktop software backup, which is what I suspect is the cause of this problem, but cannot seem to fix it.   Any thoughts on how to remedy?

    Your post indicates iOS 4.3 which is now quite old.  I am going to suggest restoring your iPad, which, among other things, will update your iOS to the current version.
    I recommend restoring your iPad.  Make sure you have the current version of iTunes on your computer (currently 11.0.1).  Plug your iPad into your computer, let it sync, then press "Restore" on the right side when the summary page of the iPad is displayed in iTuens' display.

  • Will Iphone 4 work with usb 1.1

    I have a 3g now and it said it required usb 2.0 but it works fine with 1.1 just a little slow. Will iphone 4 work with my usb 1.1, everything else updated ie itunes?

    No,
    You need USB 2.0 ports. Per Apples website:
    Windows system requirements
    * PC with USB 2.0 port
    * Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access

  • I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased now I'm getting an error message where whole chapters are missing.  I tried re-syncing with my mac book and no luck.  Any help to restore my book?

    I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased I'm getting error messages and whole chapters are missing.  I tried re-syncing with my mac book and nothing changed.  Any help to restore my book completely?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a time-consuming "Restore."
