Mac 10.5.8 iphone 5
I am running a MacBook OS 10.5.8 and just purchased an iPhone 5. I cannot connect to my iTunes and cannot upgrade my iTunes with my current OS. What are my options here?
Upgrade to 10.6.8 is required to use the iPhone 5.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.

Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone
I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?
This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone. -
have an airplay enabled AV Receiver - how do i set up Airplay
I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciatedYou are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

How do i create/combine my mac id with my iPhone id?
i wanted to download an app form app store and was asked for my id.. apperntly my iPhone id is limited to my country's app store and my email is in use for that id... how do i create/combine my mac id with my iPhone id so i can download apps from appstore?
The Apple ID for the iTunes stores and for the Mac App Store are the same account. You can only buy from the stores in the countries in which you have the qualifications. You must have a bank card in that country and the bank card must have a valid billing address in that country. Creating more than one Apple ID is a bad idea and will not help you get around the requirements.

Just trying to stream music from my iphone to my mac mini speakers. Any way I can do that in a similar way that I can do it via applte tv?
No.
Since all music on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on the Mini if that is the Mac you sync your iPhone with, play the music from iTunes on your Mini through the Mini speakers. If the music is in your iTunes library on another Mac, set up Home sharing to play the music in your iTunes library on another Mac with iTunes on your Mini. -

My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
WHAT to do? I got it today.When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

Hi,
I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.
JesalFinally figured it out...
1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
Anyways... problem solved for now...
ciao...

I have an icloud account and can access my numbers documents on my mac at home and iphone by clicking on the numbers icon and these saved documents appear
I now have a macbook air on which I have icloud but when I click the numbers icon I can't find my saved documents
Any ideas ?Hello mikebundy,
Let's double check to make sure everything is setup correctly, please see the following resource:
iCloud: Use Documents in the Cloud with OS X v10.8
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12514
To use Documents in the Cloud with your Mac apps, Documents & Data must be turned on in iCloud preferences.
Turn on Documents in the Cloud
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
- If you are not already signed in, sign in with the Apple ID you use with iCloud.
- Turn on Documents & Data.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
The network on my airport express works, have wifi on the ipods,etc. But when I open airport utility on my mac and on the iphone nothing exists. Why?
Reboot the modem. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost. The laptop getting through to the internet is not relevent.

Need reference/tutorial about iDisk (especially .Mac mail) access by iPhone
Greetings,
I have started getting quite interested in using my .Mac subscription, especially the iDisk online storage capabilities while being on the road with my MBP.
HOWEVER, I am also intrigued with accessing iDisk and .Mac Mail from my iPhone.
1. That's where I am having problem number one: seems that i cannot use my iPhone to access anything I put into iDisk's folders from my MBP. I put files into iDisk on my desktop, check if same files are on iDisk by reaching .Mac online, but I do not see anything on my iPhone while accessing iDisk from it. I do see the same iDisk folders as i see on my desktop Documents, etc..), but with no data inside.
My .Mac WebGallery/Albums work well from my iPhone.
2. Similar problem with Mail. Everything is OK - send receive - as far as .Mac Mail goes, if reached from my laptop. Not so with the iPhone: even though I can send/receive from .Mac Mail from my iPhone, and I do see .Mac Mail's mail boxes, and message insides, I cannot access attachments that i might have sent from Mail on my MBP or from .Mac Mail from my MBP.
I hope this is not too complicated a request for assistance: I have done well so far with most of the iPhone amzingly well integrated capabilities, but I am stumped here re: iPhone access to .Mac's Mail and iDisk.
Thanks in advance!
Roger TThanks, Zerimar. Indeed, somewhat useless. Not a big deal, but the rest of the interface between my MBP and the iPhone, as well as the iPhone design itself, are quite wonderful. I keep trying to detect some inadequacies in that interface. Not too many!
Seems that Apple designed the iPhone to purposefully limit its online capabilities (security issues, or prevention of unnecessary troubleshooting issues, just like in the case on unlocking phones!)

I have set up my iPhone to wifi sync with iTunes on my Mac Air, but my iPhone's contacts are not displaying in Contacts on my Mac...any ideas?
Hi there kushfromgbr,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
About SyncServices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
OS X Mavericks
OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
If you would like more information about setting up iCloud on your devices you can take a look at the article below.

<Edited By Host>If the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
Until that is done you will not be able to activate the device.

I upgraded my MBP to Mac Mini
That's an upgrade? Oh well, wrong forum for that discussion.
and now Iphone 4 won't sync. I used migration assistant to transfer my settings and I can plug the iphone into the new mac mini and it will charge but it won't show up in itunes or sync or appear on the desktop. It still syncs just fine with the macbook pro but I am selling that soon and need to get the phone in sync with the new computer. Any ideas? Your help will be appreciated.
Try going to the top bar in iTunes, Store and Authorize this computer if you have not. You'll want to deauthorize the MBP before selling it.
Not sure this will solve your problem, though.
