IPhone not updating due to lack of iTunes and Mac OSX update
Hello,
I have an iPhone 3GS running software version 4.1 and am needing to update it to the next version. When I click on the 'update' button when the phone is connected to my MacBook, a window pops up that says 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. I realize that iTunes needs to be updated as well, but in order to do that I need a different version of Mac OSX. I have an older MacBook and am currently running Mac OSX 10.4.11
My question is: is the only way to update my iPhone at this point to purchase the OSX Leopard 10.5? I seem to be caught in a dilemna of not having the most up-to-date software on my computer, but I wish it didn't effect my iPhone performance.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you!
You can upgrade the MacBook directly to Snow Leopard for $29.00

if u redeem a movie off of itunes on iphone and can't download it due to lack of space and when i go to computer to find it to download there it is not there what to do?
Clear space on your iPhone (go to Settings > General > Usage) and complete the download there.
If you rented the movie on your iPhone, it can only be viewed on your iPhone. -

Charge the phone for 15 minutes with the Apple charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks
While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized) -

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

I did not sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and I have forgotten my password and now it is locked. I have the recovery mode screen at "conect to iTunes", but iTunes is not recognizing it. How do I unlock it?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder
My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to. -
When I set up my iphone, I logged in to my own itunes and icloud but it recognized my phone as "Owner's phone" which is my husbands, so when I synched it, it was his apps, etc...help!!
I would do this:
1. on the phone in settings/general/about in the name tap there and give the phone a name that you can recognise.
2. open itunes on your computer and attach th ephone using a cable
3. Click on edit then preferences then on the devices tab in itunes on the computer and have a look what backups are there (assuming you backup to the computer nand not the cloud. Is the backup of your ol dphone there?
4. Log out of whatever apple ID you are are in when your click on itunes store in itunes on your computer and log in with your own ID
5. With your phone attached to the computer and itunes open select your phone in the left column and right click on it and click on restore. It should allow you to choose the backup that you wish to restore from. Choose the back up of your old phone and not your husband's phone
I assume you have your own ID and that you are not sharing IDs
