My 15" iMac G4 800mhz will not recognize my iPhone 4s at all. Please Help, There is more information below. Thanks.

My 15" iMac G4 800mhz will not recognize my iPhone 4s at all. It charges but doesn't load as external memory or in itunes.
I am running OS X 10.4.11 and using iTunes 9.2.1.
I have tried to be as specific as possible, I hope somebody can help as this is the main thing I will be using my mac for.
Thanks in advance.

....and an 800mHz Mac cannot officially run 10.5.8. There may be some third-party hacks to allow tricking the installer into thinking the computer qualifies and permit the install to continue, but 10.5 will be very sluggish on that machine even if you have a lot of RAM.
The other problem is valid 10.5 retail install disks. They are getting hard to find, only on DVD (not all early iMacs have DVD-capable drives), and often sell today for more than their original price of US$129.

    I have version 4.4.1 on my computer now, which is functioning properly - but does not read the .ARW files. When I download the link you sent and try to open it, it pops up as version 5 and I get this image (attached). This is my first time in one of these threads, not sure if i have to reply to each of you individually?
    DdeGannes, could you please tell me how to recover the serial number from my operating system?
    Thank you SO much everyone!

  • Will not recognize my ipod/wont sync? Please Help, been going on for days!

    I plug my ipod touch in, and it says it cant be synced, yet the photo box comes up. Ive tried different wires, and still the same result. It synced once, for about a minute, yet when i looked, there was no music on my ipod. I have no idea how to fix this problem, and any feedback would be very helpful!

    What is the problem?
    You select what you ant to sync, then sync?
    Do you get an error message?
    What does it say?
    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    Restart.
    Reset.
    Restore.

    My iphone has been working fine with my computer.  After I did an update for itunes today, the phone froze up  and will not work at all.  It has a picture stating to connect it to itunes, which it is.  The itunes will not recognize the iphone now. help!

    Phone not recognised in itunes

    Some of those things which concern itunes also help with your problem.  In particular try rebooting the computer, try a different USB cable to attach the phone or try a different port

    Hi CMC08,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
    Erase and restore
    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
    Recovery
    Mode
    Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
    Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on. 
    Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • ITunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s

    iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s.  I need it to, so I can choose the sync via WIFI.  Plus, I am unable to download iTunes by just using WIFI and my iPhone 5s.  I checked the Computer Manager areas and the settings appear correct.  My laptop runs on Windows 8.1.

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • PC will not recognize my iphone camera.

    My PC (xp os) will not recognize my iphone as a camera in camera and scanner wizard. The wizard asks for a driver disk. Any suggestions.

    If you don't already have the latest iTunes, get it, if you do have it, try a re-install...the driver comes from the iTunes install.

  • My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c

    My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c, therefore I can't import any of my pictures.
    I read that it could be the cable do I went out and bought another but it is still not working?
    Neither itunes nor iphoto open when I plug in my phone, however when I open up itunes manually, it recognizes it. Any suggestions?

    Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to USB. The iPhone will prompt you, if you trust this computer. Confirm that you trust it.
    Then try again to import to Photos.
    If "trust" was not the reason, try a different USB port on your computer.
