IPhone 5 unable to sync with iTunes Macbook 2007

I have the Macbook 2007 laptop, and I am unable to update my itunes because i am not running Mac OS C 7 or higher. I am not going to get a newer laptop because my new iphone will not sync with my old data, and I have photos that I do not want to lose that was backed up. Please tell me what I could do. Thank you.

I'm having the same problem. I understand what the system requirements are, but I simply didn't notice them when I ordered the phone.
At any rate, I called Apple today and ordered Snow Leopard. It's a barely newer version of an old operating system ... but it should do the trick. Snow Leopard is 10.6 and you can download the 10.6.8 update on Apple's site once SL is installed.
After I receive the DVD in the mail (really? no download? ridiculous...) I'll install iTunes 10.7 and all should be well. Until then, my iPhone 5 will just be a paperweight.
Good luck!

  • Iphone unable to Sync with Itunes after the 5.0.1 IOs upgrade

    I get an error message when I try to sync my iPhone 4 with my iTunes. It reads:
    "The iPhone "XXXX" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the selected items (additional 7.25GB required)."
    My status bar for the phone on iTunes says that with everything selected, I have 2.7GB free on my phone.
    I've also noticed that when it attempts to sync it cancels the sync after attempting to download something about a Safari safe downloading something or other (I've never been able to catch the whole wording because it cancels shortly after the attempted download)
    This is frustrating, how might this be fixed, or how might I downgrade my OS to a previous version?
    Thanks!

    3 things to try:
    1. disable anti trojan / virus real time scanners - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    2. disable firewall - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    3. disable your wifi and/or lan connection - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    (vpn software also seems to cause problems sometimes)
    it seems they made some changes in the way it connects (prob in for the tethering) and its causing some issues for some (my connection failure was caused by -a squared- my anti trojan program)

  • IPhone 4S not syncing with iTunes 10.7 Asking to restore

    I have had my iPhone 4S for about two years, and for a long while now it has been unable to sync with iTunes. My iPhone has the latest iOS, btw, and my iTunes is also up to date.
    When I plug my phone into my MacBook Pro, iTunes says that it does not recognize the device and would like me to restore it back to factory settings.
    I would like to just restore it, but I do not have any backups for it on my computer. I would like to back it up first, but nowhere in iTunes does it give me the option to back it up at all. iTunes only shows the "summary" tab and does not let me see other lists (music, photos, tv shows, videos, etc). My iPhone, however, syncs fine with iPhoto and uploads my photos/videos with no problem.
    Recently, the apps on my phone have been crashing. Aside from contacts, messages, and 70 photos as well as 22 videos, I do not have any other data on it. I do not have any music, and the only apps I have are Instagram and Snapchat aside from the apps that come with the phone. Under usage, it says that I have 14GB capacity and only 2.3GB available. I'm not really sure why 11GB of space is occupied because I don't have very much on my phone. But anyway, because my apps keep crashing, I wanted to factory restore my phone and just add back my messages, contacts, and my photos/videos. However, iTunes will not allow me to back up my phone.
    I have tried using external apps for backing up (ex: iExplorer), and apps like iExplorer allow you to save files from your phone perfectly fine, but do not allow you to put them back onto your phone. It is just a way of externally saving your stuff onto your computer. (If anyone knows of an app that I can use to actually back up my phone, I would appreciate it! Assuming that iTunes does not come through...)
    I was told a while back (when iOS 6 was released) that with iOS 6, my phone would no longer sync with iTunes because it would now be done through iCloud, but the 5GB of space on my iCloud is not enough to back up what is on my phone, so I have avoided using iCloud for a long time. I was also told that my iTunes may not be up to date enough in order to recognize my phone, but my iTunes is updated and still no success.
    I have literally tried everything. I have read every forum on the internet (or at least, that's what it feels like!), and I have even gone into the Apple store (to which the lady said that my phone would no longer sync with iTunes, which I don't understand because I know people with iOS 6 and above who have had no issue syncing).
    If anyone can provide some insight into my lengthy issue, I would really greatly appreciate it. I do not want to restore or change any settings until I am sure that I have my phone backed up in a way that can be retrieved and placed back.
    Thanks!
    PS, can I back up my messages and put them back on my phone? I think it's a yes, but I'm just curious.

    Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space.  What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
    Settings >iCloud
    Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device.  You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Safari
    Notes
    Passbook
    Photo Stream
    Documents & Data
    Find My iPhone
    If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space. 
    Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized. 
    To put phone in recovery mode:  Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time.  Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button.  Plug your phone into iTunes.  Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

  • IPhone 3G not Syncing with Outlook Calendar 2007

    Can anyone help, since updating iTunes to version 8.1.0.52 my iPhone will not sync with Outlook Calendar 2007. I have deleted itunes and re-installed as per Apples instructions and this has no effect. Everything was fine up to the point of updating iTunes. iPhone syncs with everything else just fine.
    Regards
    Phil

    I am having the same problem since last update. I thought it was my wife's sync with a Nokia but after deleting that sync it still is not happening and trying to sync the calendar events for hours. Would love for iTunes to fix the problem.
    Does anyone know if you can download an old version of iTunes? Regards Lee

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

    I understand that iTunes is becoming unresponsive when you connect your iPhone and try to sync it. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the suggested troubleshooting steps within.

  • I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. Lost everything I put on it this weekend (including ALL my pics). Is there any way to unsync it so I can get all of that back?

    I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!

    In short. No, you cannot unsync.  If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up. 
    Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there.  Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

    Hi there kushfromgbr,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful.
    About SyncServices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    OS X Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
