Yes... the iPhone 5 on iOS 6 requires iTunes 10.7 which in turn requires OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    I got my Iphone 5 as a gift and want to check from which country it was purchased. Is there any way we can check it ??

    I don't think so. You can go here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do and see when it was purchased by decreasing the end time by one year.

  • HT6001 I'm trying to update my iphone 4. When I try to open itunes, I get a warning, which won't let me get into itunes. The warning is (!)

    I'm trying to update my iphone 4. I'm unable to open itunes. When I do,  I get a symbol of ( ! )

    Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • HT4061 itunes want sync a flim which i have rented to my ipad

    i get a message which says that it is already synced with another device?
    but its only just downloaded to my computer

    You have to "move" the film to the iPad from iTunes. This is copied from here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.

    I also have the same problem, but the Software Updates tool doesn't recognise that Quicktime is out of date. Have you tried downloading Quicktime 7.7 Leopard from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime as this worked for me...?

    sounds like your phone was hacked to work with your carrier.  Now it is relocked to the rightful carrier.  It cannot be reactivated without a SIM from that carrier.

  • IPhone won't activate after updating to iOS7... even after connecting to iTunes...

    my iOS7 wouldn't budge after updating so I performed the silly mistake of doing a system restore. It updated but now my iPhone won't activate! Do you think it's the servers? I'm perfectly connected to my wifi and my phone is connected to iTunes!

    Yeah... Thanks! It finally managed to pull through... ugh... was getting slightly worried because I needed it for something important at the moment... but thankfully it's okay now.

    You have to activate it. Just put in an old simcard and activate it then you can remove the sim and use it as an ipod. I did that with my old 3G.

  • My Iphone won't back up to my itunes account on my computer when I plug it in, It syncs but when it tries back up I get an error message. I have tried to restore it to the last time it was backed up but still it didn't work.

    Hi,
    I got my iphone last year and It was working just fine until June of this year and I didn't notice it until I tried plugging my iphone into my computer to get more songs on it. Error message came up saying that it was unable to backup iphone because an error occurred. So I did some research and tried to delete old backups and restore to the last one. After all that it still won't back up and some of my apps just don't work, thought the new ios would help but it did not. Everything works fine its just that I want to be able to back my phone up and I haven't been able to sync June. Any help would be appreciated.

    For your computer first get iTunes to see it by:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - The transfer iTunes purchases
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Or redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to your compute and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

    Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

    The ringtone file format is m4r.  You can create ringtone from any of your music file in your iTunes Music library.
    Follow steps as follow:
    1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
    2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” n Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
    3. Right mouse click the music file again and choose “Create AAC Version”
    4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
    5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
    6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
    7. *Important - Now uncheck the start n stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
    8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
    9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    Once you have ringtones in Tones library, you can sync ringtones over by connecting your phone to PC, select iPhone under Devices on iTunes left Pane, then go to 'Tones' tab and check SYNC TONES as well as the ringtones.  Click the SYNC button on the lower right window.
