ITunes compatibility between OSX 10.6.8 and iOS 7.1.2?

I recently got a new iPhone 5S and was trying to sync it with the iTunes library on my (admittedly old) late '08 MacBook (Apple spec page). However, when plugging my phone into the laptop, I received an error message which read "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "[my device name]" because the device timed out."
Simply syncing from the cloud isn't an option, as I've got a lot of music that was ripped from my physical media collection, or was created by me, and doesn't live there.
I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on my laptop, mainly because my understanding is that the newer OSX versions are RAM hogs for older machines, and that will make this computer much less useful for its original purpose (audio processing applications). Is this an insurmountable 'generation gap' between OS's, or does a solution exist? Thanks.
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  • Sync iCal between OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8

    In what ways can iCal be synced between OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8?
    Can iCal 2.0.5 be installed on OSX 10.5.8 so both OS run the same version of iCal?
    If so, how?
    Can iCal Calendars be moved to an external drive, and both iCal installs pointed to same location?
    From OSX10.5.8, I've copied files in ~/Library/Calendars/
    to a folder on the external drive, then pointing OSX10.5.8 ~/Library/Calendars/ to the external drive folder.
    As far as I can tell, iCal works fine, and I've deleted and edited calendars.
    I then pointed OSX10.4.11 ~/Library/Calendars/ and OSX10.4.11 ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ to the same calendar folder on the external drive.
    Different calendars displayed in iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11 than on OSX10.5.8 and kept reappearing after deleting and restarting iCal 2.0.5.
    I deleted 10.4.11 ~/Library/Calendars/ after finding reference indicating that iCal on OSX10.4.11 has different structure with data stored at ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ instead of at ~/Library/Calendars/ on OSX10.5.8
    (I must have mistakenly thought there was a ~/Library/Calendars/ folder in iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11)
    I then deleted all the calendars from iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11 except one which would not allow deletion, and they remained deleted after shutting down and restarting iCal 2.0.5, but calendars stored on external drive still do not appear in iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11
    Calendar .ics exports from iCal on 10.5.8 can be imported to iCal 2.0.5 on OSX10.4.11, but they do not retain structure.
    Data from several calendars get mixed up together for some reason.
    Any suggestions on how to get the two versions of iCal synced?
    I have 2 drive partitions that I use and need to be able to share calendars between the OSX versions.

    Hello.
    Most MacBooks can run at least 10.6, some can run 10.7 needed for iCloud.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • File compatibility between CS 5.5 MAC and CS 5.5 PC?

    We are currently a PC based shop with a few MAC's tossed here and there.  I have been asked to verify the file compatibility between CS 5.5 MAC and CS 5.5 PC.  Are the files fully compatible?  i.e. can user A on a PC create an illustrator/photoshop/etc document which is then opened by user B on a MAC with no issues?
    Thanks!

    Yes. For the programs you mentioned it has been forever this way and even for programs like Premiere Pro or Encore, that were platform-specific until recently, this is no longer an issue ever since CS5. Of course you will still have to take care of different handling for file paths on different platforms for externally linked files, but that's a different matter and nothing specific to Adobe...

  • Itunes compatibility between 9 and 10

    I have a Mac that I wish to upgrade to iTunes 10. Problem is I have and old powerbook laptop that I use to DJ with. It is so old, it cannot run iTunes 10 (Mac OS 10.4 is best the powerbook can do). I use the 'share' feature to upload songs from my main Mac to the laptop.
    If I upgrade the main mac (that hosts the sharing), will the powerbook running iTunes 9 still be able to connect to the Mac running iTunes 10?
    TIA!

    yes i know but now i have
    if(e.getErrorCode() == 1401)
    so the only solution is
    if(e.getErrorCode() == 1401 || e.getErrorCode() == 12899)
    ?

  • Still no compatibility between Storage Client Library v3 and emulator?

    Hi,
    According to this blog post:
    I'm apparently unable to post a link, but here's the text from the blog. I'm sure you can find it via google if interested.)
    <<<<
    Storage Emulator Guidance
    As mentioned above an updated Windows Azure Storage Emulator is expected to ship with full support of these new features in the next couple of months. Users attempting to develop against the current version of the Storage emulator will receive Bad Request
    errors as the protocol version (2013-08-15) is unsupported.  Until then, users wanting to use the new features would need to develop and test against a Windows Azure Storage Account to leverage the 2013-08-15 REST version.
    >>>>
    So it seems there was not compatibility between the storage emulator and Storage Client Library v3. I'm wondering if that is still the case. I get a 400 error when calling container.CreateIfNotExists() when pointing to local storage, but no problem pointing
    to production storage. I'm using SCL v3.0.2.
    Thanks...

  • Trying to do home sharing between OSX 10.5.6 and Windows 7.

    My main music collection is on my Windows 7 machine since I have about 2.5 terabytes of storage on this machine. When I open iTunes 9.0 from my mac and go to Home Sharing I can see my home computer and I can connect to it. I can also see my wife Vista machine and connect to it. From my home PC I can see my wifes Vista machine and can connect to it but with my Mac I'm only able to see it, if I click on it to connect I get the "The shared library "my library" is not responding (-3259). I also get this error when I try to connect to the Mac from my wifes Vista machine. I enabled music sharing in iTunes on the mac, enabled file sharing and also ensured the firewall is allowing all incoming connections. I disabled the firewall on the home pc and also opened up port 3689 on my router as that's what the error message suggests.
    Any other advice you could provide?

  • Midi Networksession between OSX 10.3.9 and 10.4.11

    Hi,
    does anyone know if there is a workaround to make a Midi networksession between
    OSX 10.4.11 with midi-configuration 2.1.1 on an iMac CoreDuo and
    OSX 10.3.9 with midi-configuration 2.0 on a G5 via port 5004 possible?
    Thx

    Sorry, TKIP is the actual encryption protocol used. Vendors typically advertise that a device can support WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption. These are actually standards. The WPA standard allows for the use of TKIP for encryption; whereas, WPA2 allows for both TKIP and the much stronger AES (or more correctly CCMP) encryption.
    Configuring your wireless router for encryption differs slightly which each manufacturer. For example to employ TKIP encryption on an Apple AirPort, you would select the WPA Personal option. For non-Apple routers, this same option may be called WPA w/PSK. Some vendors also offer the additional option of selecting the encryption protocol (TKIP or AES) as well.

    Any help most welcome.

    You would need to update to Snow Leopard and then install.
    Apple still sells upgrade disc for Snow Leopard.
    Here is a link to the US store:

    Then upadte Snow Leopard to the 10.6.8 Update Combo: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    It looks like you can run Mountain Lion (latest OS X 10.8.5).

  • Docs in Cloud Not syncing between OS (10.8.2) and iOS (6)

    I am running all of the most recent software available for both OS and iOS (including the iWork software on each). For about a week not, my docs have not been syncing. I will open something on my iPad/iPhone, take notes for a couple hours in class. Then, when I go to add notes on my Mac next week, last weeks notes are not there.
    What I have done:
    Connected iPad and iPhone to power and wifi numerous nighst since the first note-taking.
    Had my Mac connected to power and wifi numerous times since the first note-taking.
    Restarted all devices.
    Any other tips? I need this stuff to sync if I am going to have all of my notes in one place before finals—the timing of my issues with iCloud make me wonder if the cosmos (or Apple) has a sense of humor.
    Thanks in Advance!

    I am not sure this is a Pages question but an iCloud question. You could ask in the iCloud forum about the syncing problems

  • Share iTunes Library between OSX and Win7 Bootcamp

    I've done quite a bit of research on this but I still haven't found a solution that does what I require.
    Basically my setup is a SSD & HDD in my MBP. I have OSX and Win7 (Bootcamp) on the SSD and the NTFS HDD is a shared file storage drive for both Windows and OS. I have my iTunes library located on this drive and I want to be able to share the library between the OSs. I also want changes e.g. additions deletions made in windows to be reflected in OSX and vice versa.
    Technically this is possible and does in fact work if I point iTunes to the .itl file but the problem is that when I open iTunes after switching OSs it must go through a very lengthy library update which can take 30-60mins in some cases before I can use it. Obviously this is not a good solution so I'm wondering if there are any workarounds to accomplishing this?
    For example can I duplicate the .itl file and have one for win and one for OSX and still have the libraries stay in sync?

    Just for your info, Vista ***** whatever you try to do. I'm stuck with Vista on a pre-installed laptop. All experience I have from Vista is bad, don't buy Vista or a computer with preinstalled Vista if you can avoid it.
    We have three computers in a home network, one Macbook Pro, one PC with Windows XP, and the Vista laptop. All are using iTunes-8, downloaded and installed last week.
    Sharing iTunes libraries using the option to share libraries on a local network works fine between Mac and Windows-XP. The sharing also works fine between the XP and the Vista PC.
    But the Vista PC can't access the Mac iTunes library. When trying to open the Mac library, iTunes on the Vista computer says something like "Fetching library info from...". It's the same problem when trying to access the Vista library from the Mac.
    We had a similar problem when trying to access shared folders on the local network. Thanks to a tip on this forum how to tweak the Vista registry, the shared folder problem was solved.
    I'm think some registry setting in Vista might solve iTunes shared library problems. Maybe some Windows freak knows how to patch the registry to solve this issue.
    Otherwise the solution is to trash Vista, and install Windows-XP.

  • Can anyone tell me the compatability between macbook pro running lion and the kindle touch?

    I originally wanted an Ipad, but when I already have a macbook pro, and an android phone, planning to upgrade to an iphone when I qualifiy for one, I could not see paying the money for an ipad when between my computer and phone I have all the capabilities covered. However, being a college student who uses pdf files of textbooks a lot, sometimes pulling out my laptop every time I want to look some little thing up in a textbook gets old. And carrying all my engineering textbooks everywhere is going to kill my back one of these days. So I want a cost friendy e-reader or tablet. Ive heard good things about kindles. But what is the compatibility like for a mac? will it be a pain in the but like my android?

    Get an iPad. Once you have that, you may not really need to spend the money on an iPhone, since the iPad will do everything the iPhone does (and be easier to see doing it) except make phone calls, and even an Android phone can do that.

  • Compatibility between R/3 4.6c and BI 7.0

    Hello,
    First of all, I want to stress out that I just spent hours reading SDN and service marketplace, and I just couldn't find a precise answer, so that's why I ask you this ..
    we have SAP R/3 4.6c, SP 23, no BW sofar.
    We plan to have BI 7.0, and I have been asked to which SP level we had to be in SAP R/3.
    I understand that we have to get the right PI version ( PI 2004.1 SP10 if I'm right ?), but what about the SP level of SAP R/3 itself ??
    Thank ou very much if you can help.

    Hi Andreas,
    Thank you for your quick answer !
    In fact I had already read this thread...So I did the 'R/3' search, and read it all.
    But now maybe I am a little bit more stupid than I thought, because when I read the compatibility matrix between SAP R/3 SP level and netweaver here :
    https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000653817&
    I just don't understand:"  PI 2004.1, with R/3 SP01 (??) and R/3 plug-in SP10 "
    So all I understand is I must have the 2004.1 plug-in with SP10 on my SAP R/3 4.6c system..am I right ?
    Thanks again
