Iphone 5 Itunes Connection Issue

I have read quite a few threads about this issue but have yet to find a resolve.  I just picked up an Iphone 5 due to my 4s being dropped one too many times.  When I connected it to my Itunes, it says that I need Itunes 10.7 or later.  I downloaded 10.7 but when I went to install it, it said I need an OS of 10.6 or later (I  have 10.5.8 which for my Macbook is apparently as far as I can go. 
I did not back up on Icloud before getting the new phone now I am stuck.  Can someone help me with this?  There has to be a way to get this fixed.  Upon getting my new phone my IT dept accidentally deleted all my contacts that the VZW store transferred for me by mistake.

the solution is literally right infront of you. You need to update the mac, before you can update the itunes, before you can use itunes with your iphone 5.
you can call applecare to see if your macbook will upgrade any further. 1800 my apple

  • IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues  (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

    Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
    *iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
    (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
    With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
    When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
    (from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
    I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
    Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
    Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
    When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
    Any insight would be helpful.

    Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

  • Iphone 6 connection issue

    my new iphone wont connect to itunes. it keeps telling me that the device timed out. what can i do to correct this?

    Hi, doyle e. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communites. 
    I understand that you are receiving device timed out alerts in iTunes.  These are usually related to some type of USB conflict.  Here is a troubleshooting article that I would go through for this specific issue.

  • How can I resolve iPod Touch 4th gen charging and iTunes connection issue?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and the other day it stopped charging.  When I pug it in, it appears to be receiving a minimal charge to keep it alive, but isn't restoring the battery life and doesn't show that the battery is accepting the charge.  After plugging it in for a day, the battery was only partially charged to approximately 20%.  I've tried several USB cables and different plug-ins to no avail.
    Then I tried to connect it to the computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Apple Device Manager and iTunes software, and resetting the iPod.  I've also tried holding the sleep and home buttons at the same time while connecting the iPod to the computer with iTunes software open.  Nothing seems to work.  I have other iPods/iPhones that connect to iTunes without issue, so it is isolated event with this iPod Touch.  I was hoping to restore the iPod to its original settings to see if that would do the trick, but am unable to figure out how without iTunes.  Any suggestions?  help! 

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    and/or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone WiFi connection Issue

    After installing the 7.6.1 upgrade to my Air Port base station Time Capsule, my iPhone 4s and Lexmark printer can no longer connect via wifi. However my iPad1, MacBook Pro and Airport Express are all working fine.  My iPhone will connect perfectly to WiFI at work so this excludes a problem with the phone. However at home it sees the network but after entering the password to join it attempts to connect and comes back with the following error.  Ideas for resolving this dilemma are appreciated.

    Located the solution on a post from December 19th 2011.  It appears to be a comon problem with the Base station and iPhones.  Changing my Base Station to Channel 3 resolved the problem. No additional issues created with other devices that were already connected. (Lexmark printer, iPad, laptop are all working on the wifi network)  Harmony has returned to the universe...

  • Download and iTunes connection issues

    As of recently, I have purchased numerous audio and video files from the iTunes store with no difficulty or connection issues of any kind. Though today, I attempted to download the Iron Maiden: Flight 666 movie, and had issues with my download. Though the file is downloading, it is taking an excruciatingly long amount of time. A 3.09 Gigabyte file, a file which might have previously taken me about an hour to download on my connection, now displays an estimated download time of 17+ hours. It has been downloading now for at least an hour, and only 9.5 Megabytes have been successfully downloaded. Now, I am experiencing difficulty accessing the iTunes store at all. An error message continually pops up saying that my connection has been lost and the download pauses, though I have checked my connection time and time again. I have even contacted my internet provider, Comcast, in hopes of solving my problem. My connection is good, though iTunes itself is the only thing giving me difficulty. I have gone through all of the steps that Apple has recommended, and have not had any success in attempting to download the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Contact iTunes support.

  • Itunes connect issues

    Submitted apps have been stuck in "Processing" for 12 hours and I'm unable to remove app from waiting for review to resubmit my binary!.

    I also have issues with the whole iTunes Connect process. On my first attempt, I failed the epub filter and Producer notified me of several mistakes. Those were fixed and on my second attempt I successfully uploaded my epub, metadata and cover jpg. After a couple days of Pending status the submission changed to Quality Check status and then on day nine it changed to Removed From Sale status. There was no feedback at this point, all one can do is to pore over the Apple documentation, which I did. I found that Apple requires the use of a <CONTENT> file which the official epub standard says is 'optional.' Well it is optional for everyone but Apple. On my third attempt at upload with the afforementioned problem fixed, the Removed From Sale status never changed during the next ten buiness days. So again, I carefully scrutinized every page of every Apple document related to this whole process. I found out that I had capitalized all the letters in the meta data book title and author's name. This by itself results in a rejection (the docs say.) I also found a few more minor glitches, nits really. I am on my forth upload and the status still shows Removed from Sale. I am POSITIVE that everything is fixed this time but Apple does not answer my emails. There are no telephone numbers to call. It is all very frustrating. What I am afraid of is that once a Removed from Sale sataus is assigned, that no matter how many time you resubmit your package, no one looks at it again?!? I cannot find anywhere in Apple documentation what an author does in this situation? Do we start over from scratch and upload a new book? Apple, please tell us and we will comply!!!

  • IOSx 7.1.1 iphone wifi connectivity issue

  • Safari/ITunes Connectivity Issues

    Not sure why, but my connection speed in Safari and to the iTunes store slowed way down about five days ago. ISP is Comcast. Comcast tech said modem connection and speeds measure fine, but Safari is taking much longer to load web pages. I have already tried resetting Safari... no improvement. The iTunes connection is much slower as well and I recently discovered I can no longer preview movies in iTunes. Can anybody help?
    iMac Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    New Imac Guy --
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Think back really carefully, OK?
    Did you change anything before the slow-down???
    Do any updates, add any new apps or fonts?
    Here's how I make sure Safari is all cleaned up.
    Do these basics & report back, OK ?
    1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
    2. Trash your Icons Folder:
    HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
    Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
    (This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
    rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
    3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
    Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
    If you're still having problems:
    4. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
    5. Do you have internet apps SpeedDownload, iGetter, PithHelmet, Acid Search, Safari Enhancer ? Or Norton or Virex? Sometimes non-apple internet apps need updating or uninstalling. If you do, let us know which ones and which version, please.
    Hope this helps

  • IPhone 5s connection issues with iTunes, mail, internet

    Hi,
    Recently (yesterday), my phone stopped receiving new email on my multiple accounts (gmail, yahoo, etc.) I would open the mail app on my phone and get multiple pop up windows saying, "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed." I had similar trouble when I  then tried using other apps that use the internet, Safari, facebook. Keep in mind that both my mac book pro and device are connected to my wi-fi network. My mac book pro can access the internet and receive mail. I thought maybe connecting my device to iTunes would help, however my device can not be recognized by iTunes.   Upon connecting my device via USB iTunes would immediately say "Itunes cannot connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to this device." I then turned on my iPhone only to see a window saying "Trust This Computer?  Your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected"  I selected Trust multiple times but this keeps poping up. 
    Any help would be greatly appreicated.

    Hello, ddogjackson. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like you may be experiencing a self-assigned IP address.  Try power cycling your router and testing the results.  If the issue persists, I would recommend going through all of the steps in the article below.

  • How to troubleshoot iphone 5s connectivity issue with iTunes on Windows 7

    When I connect my new iPhone 5s to my Windows 7 home edition PC with the latest version of iTunes, the PC recognizes it. From My Computer I can see a new item "iPhone", which can be opened to show internal storage (photos). However iTunes never sees my phone. If I run diagnostics from iTunes it reports that no devices are found. In the meanwhile, my iPad can connect and get recognized by iTunes without any problem.
    What is missing?
    Thanks.

    Okay I found the solution - I'm still surprised this actually worked - which is to connect the phone through a powered USB hub. That's it! iTunes finally wakes up and syncs my phone!
    I hope this helps those who might stumble over the same issue.
    Cheers.

  • IPhone 4 weird computer/iTunes connecting issues

    So recentely I noticed the battery in my iPhone 4 start declining dramatically. Before, it chould hold it's charge for close to two days. Depeding on what I did with it. Now it was dying in 6 hours. The last time it died, when I plugged it into my wall charger to charge, I noticed that it came up to a configure lock screen. Telling me to "slide to set up" which then prompted me to connect to iTunes.
    A little annoyed at this point, but just thinking my phone has auto re-set itself for some reason, I use the same USB cable to plug into my computer...
    1. Chord works, but phone gets stuck on a blinking apple logo. It will stay on the apple logo screen for around 4 seconds, go black, and repeat.
    2. Computer nor iTunes is reconizing my iPhone even being plugged in.
    3. I have tried to do DFU and Recovery mode, neither option works for my computer and iTunes aren't even seeing the phone.
    4. I have tried multiple computers to see if it may be my computer.
    5. Have done the device services test, and it seems to be working properly. Started, and automatic and all that.
    Please, help. I am not sure what the problem is.
    The only thing I have left to think of is the chord is working with the wall charger but not the computer? Which doesn't make sense as the phone is still getting to the apple screen. Big thanks in adavance for any help!

    You have an old Logitech webcam or Lexmark scanner driver on your computer. You need to update the driver to the latest version, or delete the device(s) if you no longer use them. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502 for more details.

  • IPad and iPhone iTunes Match issue.

    Hi,
    Have IPad3 and iPhone 4S and in my iPhone am not getting cellular in general settings in place of cellular am having mobile data please help me out on this regards. And am not able to connect to iTunes and share my data like music, videos, and photos. In my settings I don't have iTunes matches and I don't have PC to configure iTunes how do resolve this.
    Regards,
    Prashantha N K

    Hi - thanks for the response.
    A couple of points/questions
    1) I did further debug by deleting the song from my computer (leaving the song in iCloud) - then downloading from iCloud .... the song labeled Kelly Clarkson 'Breakaway' in iCloud is not the correct song .... this isn't coming from my system, as the song was 'Matched', not 'uploaded'.
    2) I rechecked my iPhone ... the Kelly Clarkson song 'Breakaway' which plays correctly is stored locally on the phone ... it's not coming from iCloud/Match.
    3) You mention removing "Music" from the iPad .... how is that possible? I can remove apps that I've downloaded, but don't know how to remove 'native' apps (like safari, music etc.). Also - based on my further troubleshooting, this clearly isn't an iPad issue any more ... it's an error with Apple iTunes Match catalog.
    Any ideas on how to contact Apple (without me paying!) to have this resolved?

  • Iphone 6 connectivity issue

    I have a new iPhone 6. Had a 5s before. Still have it. Had the same issue with both. I work in an office that does not get an ATT signal in my office. When I leave the office and go to where there is a good signal, I have an issue with both iPhones where it could connect to the carrier signal quickly or take up to 8 minutes to finally get a signal. I also have a blackberry that when I do the same thing, the blackberry connects to the signal immediately. I've called apple about the issue and they said it's a carrier issue and reset network settings or do a restore. I've reset network setting several times to not avail. Don't believe it's a carrier issue as the blackberry does not exhibit this behavior.
    Anyone else see anything like this? Any ideas on what might be happening or anything to fix this? Thanks.

    Ya, airplane mode is an option but it shuts all the radios down including WiFi. I need WiFi for imessage and email. I have used airplane on and off to regain signal and it works immediately. Just not something I should have to do or think about to regain signal quickly.
