ITunes and my iPhone won't sync.  What can I do with this software issue?

I have a PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iTunes 10.  I also have an iPhone 4.  I recently upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4, I then plugged my iPhone up to iTunes to sync.  Now iTunes is telling me due to the upgrade of the iOS, it will not recognize the device.  I would have to upgrade to iTunes 11.  Easier said than done, right?  But the system requirements to run iTunes 11 is at least running OSX 10.6 or later.  This sounds great but i think my PowerBook G4 cannot hold or run 10.6, iTunes 11 cannot run without the OSX of 10.6 or later, and my iPhone 4 cannot be recognized by iTunes since the iOS's too new.  but can't upgrade iTunes to 11.  What can I do to resolve this communication/software issue without purchasing out the wah-zoo?

  • I Tunes downloads onto my PC but won't open. Can someone assist  with this dilema?

    I have downloaded I Tunes to my PC numerous times. The download goes fine. When I hit the icon to open I Tunes up, nothing happens. I have removed I Tunes from my system and reloaded, and still it won't open. Can anyone help with this dilema?

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

    Look and see if you have a stalled download in iTunes - it could be a song or a podcast - if there is something that has not completed in there, your app updates will not download. Finish those downloads first, if you have any.
    Check to make sure.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

    Does itunes recognize your iphone?
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    If it does see it, then what is the problem?

  • I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with it any more. I don't think I can upgrade the Spin Doctor without buying a new program.  Is there a way to undo the last iTunes update?

    I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with iTunes, specifically, I can't get music files to go over to iTunes.  Spin Doctor gives me a message indicating that iTunes isn't working properly.
    I am using iTunes 9.1.1(12) and Spin Doctor 3.1.1.304t.  I have investigated upgrading the Spin Doctor but I think too much time has passed and the version available are too far advanced. 
    Any ideas?  Can I undo the iTunes upgrade?  Is there a website that I can go to to get the upgrade for my Spin Doctor?
    Thanks.
    Mary

    If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
    Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
    You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

  • My iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen,  no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

    my iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen,  no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

    Hey there Galileo,
    It sounds like your iPhone screen is solid white and you cannot do anything with it. Take a look at these steps from the following article about that kind of issue:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Moved media to external drive and now iphone won't sync!

    Hi friends
    I recently posted this question here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5301334?start=0&tstart=0
    And Chris was very helpful, but I still can't get it to sync.
    The update is that I have now successfully updated my ipod nano and my ipad, but when I plug in my iphone 4s, it goes through the syncing motions, then says "cancelling sync" when it gets to step 6 of 6.
    Here is my original post. Please help! :
    I recently moved ALL of my media (music, movies, etc) to my external Seagate 1TB hard drive to free up 200+ gig on my Macbook pro. I followed all of the steps, everything works perfectly, iphone is recognized and syncs all playlists, apps, etc EXCEPT it won't add any new music since the transfer.
    So for instance, I added a new playlist for the new NIN album. It sits in the exact same place as all of my other music, but when I sync the phone, it only syncs the older media and NIN is nowhere to be found on the iphone.
    I've scoured every message board and blog I can find and can't seem to find the answer.
    Anyone??

    I updated itunes and my iphone with the new IOS7 last night and phone will still not sync with itunes.
    Is there really not ONE person in the entire Apple community who can help with the most basic problem there is - syncing my phone with itunes???
    I'm asking nicely - please help!!!

  • Suddenly my iPhone does not sync   ~  what can I do

    can anyone help me
    my iPhone always would sync as soon as i plugged it but it won't anymore
    what can i do?

    1- Do you have it set as "Manually manage music and video"?  If so, it will not sync to iTunes in manual mode.
    2- If you have it set to auto-sync (opposite of #1), do you have it set to automatically launch iTunes when you connect it?  If not, the auto-sync will not automatically start if iTunes is already running, you'd have to click the Sync button to get the auto-sync to commence.
    3- Do you have iTunes set to not auto-sync devices?  Go to Edit/ Preferences and click on the Devices tab to see if this option has been set.  If so, then you must manually initiate the auto-sync (which is not the same as manually managing the device).  Or, simply de-select this iTunes option.
