Iphone compatibility with mac OS

Hi I want to get an iphone but found out my imac with Tiger will not support iphone 4. Is it true that the iphone is useless without
an updated OS? Can't afford to replace both the phone and computer at once.
  When I do get new computer was thinking about getting my first notebk. Any suggestion? Though am concerned about the screen size. Am use to my 17 in  Imac. Want the mobility of the notebk  What about the ipad? I use computer for email/ facebk. photos /movies web searching calender , Word and some Excel. I have a Apple TV; and an external hard drive (waiting to be hooked up as it will not work with Tiger either.) I have Verizon for my cell carrier and Verizon Fios on  computer and TV.

Hello Anne ONeil,
the iPhone would not be useless but you will not be able to use
it to it's full potential. iDevices are made not as stand alone
products but as products to Sync with your computer so
that you can manage the content of your iDevices.
In order Sync an iDevice you need iTunes v10.x which
requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
Is your 17" iMac a PowerPC G5 or an intel CoreDuo or
Core2Duo. If it's the G5 the max Mac OS is Leopard. If intel
you might be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that you
can download iTunes 10 and Sync your iPhone.
New portable? MBP 13". Check with Apple Customer Support
to see if you can use your Apple TV as an external monitor.
iPad2 is an iDevice and to get the most you need to Sync
with iTunes. At this time MicroSOFT does not have an iPad
Mac Office App for the iPad.
External HD-not sure. As gdgmacguy stated check the hardware
and software requirements before you purchase.
That Verizon fios looked pretty good. I'm ATT.
Apple Support:
1-800-275-2273
Automated call but you can with enough patience speak to a software
specialist. Be patient and polite. Have your iMac serial number ready
for them (About this Mac)
Happy Computing,

  • Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

    are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

    Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
    Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
    Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
    On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

  • Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

    I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
    On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
    Please review the discussion in the following thread
    Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
    Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
    There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

    That's a pretty old version, significantly predating Mac OS X 10.6, so I doubt it will be compatible. I'd suggest you contact the developer of PowerCADD and ask them:

    My old Mac crashed and I had to get a new one. Now my Logic Pro 9.0.2. version which was fully compatible with Snow Leopard, for some reason does not want to work with the new Mac OS Lion. Is there any way around getting an upgrade to get this program working again? Thanks!

  • E71 compatibility with MAC!!

    I bought today an E71 convinced that it was compatible with mac...would it be possible to know if software will be developed to make it compatible with isync?
    Thankshttp://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussi​ons/board/post?board.id=communicators#

    Hi there
    The E71-1 is already compatible with iSync all you need to do is download the plug in from here http://europe.nokia.com/support/products/isync/com​patibility
    Once installed your E71-1 will sync with iCal and Address Book. You can also set Entourage to sync contacts with address book
    I hope this helps, if you are still stuck send me a PM.

  • IPhone Syncing with .MAC

    I was surprised that this was not available. The iPhone should be able to wirelessly sync contact and calendars with .MAC.

    Anyone know if you can sync iPhone with multiple

    occasionally work from home and would like to be able
    to keep the iPhone and all versions of Address Book
    and iCal current, regardless of from where I'm

  • Can't pair iPhone 5 with Mac mini or iPad

    When I try to pair my iPhone 5 with my Mac mini (current model), I'm able to go through all the steps and the Mac shows the iPhone is connected for about 1-2 secs and then drops the connection.  I'm trying to pair them so I can use the TokenLock app to automatically lock my Mac when I walk away from it.
    I have the exact same issue when trying to tether my iPad to my iPhone via bluetooth to connect my iPad to the internet.  A connection is established for only a couple seconds.  I'm able to tether via wi-fi though.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • PS CS4 Compatibility With Mac OS X Spaces

    I'm using Photoshop CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.5.5, and I can't seem to have different Photoshop documents (different windows) open in different "Spaces". I have no problem doing this with other applications. Is this a known issue with Photoshop, or is it the intended behavior?
    Thanks for any help or insight you can provide,

    @Ramon:
    this means:
    if you would work with the actual mac os, you have to use a old creative suite.
    if you would work with the actual creative suite, you have to use a old mac os.
    i am using a actual mac too :-) (mac pro intel)
    so i have to downgrade to a older system, because adobe isnt able to do, what all other programmers can do? i dont believe this!
    because i would use the actual os x and the actual creative suite, my question is another one.
    why can support all other NON-APPLE-applications spaces and why can CS4 not. this question is not answered in this thread.
    CS4 is the most expensive application on my mac and shows the worst compatibility of all applications.
    for me, CS4 is not a app, i use sometimes. i used it several hours every day.
    its no argument for me to say: we would not support the actual version of the operating system we develop for.
