My iphone 5 is not compatible with my MacBook or iTunes!

I have a 2008 MacBook, running OS X 10.5.8, and itunes 10.6.3. I have just received a new iPhone 5, and downloaded the latest version of itunes, but the installer won't run on my computer, as it requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. Tried to install the 10.6.8 but seems that I need to download 10.6 first? So at the moment, I can't transfer anything to my new phone. Do I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion for all of this to be solved?
Thanks!

You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; this is also needed if you later want to upgrade to 10.8.

    Hey guys,
    This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8.  The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
    Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
    Thank you, I appreciate your help.

    This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

  • How can I download itunes 10.6.3, as itunes 10.7 is not compatible with my macbook?

    I upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS X 6. It will not connect to my itunes now because it requires itunes 10.6.3. The latest version of itunes is 10.7 but this is not compatible with my macbook, when I download 10.7 it says that i need to have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or better, which i don't and I think i have to pay to upgrade. Is there still a way that i can download the earlier version of itunes which is 10.6.3?

    A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Why can't i get rid of the firefox4 application which is not compatible with my macbook?

    downloaded firefox4 .. it is not compatible with my macbook OSX10.4 ... but the application box still remains and cannot be deleted ... every time i open firebox the first thing which pops up is the firefox4 application box ... once i click it into my sidebar the firefox3.5 opens ... when i open the finder the firefox4 box also opens ... very annoying!

    Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI.  Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name.  Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore.  Never had this problem with previous iPhones

    My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI.  Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name.  When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone,  but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching  contact and name info while driving anymore.  Never had this problem with previous iPhones.  Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue?  Anyone with this problem? Help!

    NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
    After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me.  Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
    Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
         1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad.  Demand a replacement.
         2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it.  Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
    After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc.  It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

  • This AE is not compatible with this version of Itunes????

    Hello qqnicol,
    What program do you run?
    Please contact the software provider to confirm if this 32-bit program can run in 64-bit Windows.
    As some programs can only run in specific version of Windows, please download the right version of software.
    Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
    Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows too.

  • The shared library is not compatible with this version of itunes

    I have a G3 running Jaguar (and iTunes 6) that hosts my MP3 collection. Until recently, this worked great as a shared library, happily showing up in iTunes on other machines on my network, including my Powerbook.
    Then I got iTunes 8 on my MacBook Pro.
    Now, when I try to access it from my MBP with Leopard, I get the message "the shared library Nick's Music is not compatible with this version of itunes".
    Can I somehow run an older version of iTunes as well as v 8.0 on Leopard?
    Is there another program that can access that library and run on Leopard?
    Any other solutions?

    I solved it myself...What I did was to backup the old library, run iTunes 6 to create a new library, move that new library, edit iTunes 6 preferences to use the library in it's new location, then restore the iTunes 8 library to it's original position.

  • Remote Speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes

    My problem is simple to describe but seemingly impossible to fix.
    When I try to play music from my MacBook to my Airport Express I get this error "Remote speakers x are not compatible with this version of iTunes." I have been using this computer and AX in the past without problem but I can't remember exactly when this issue started so I'm not sure if it coincided with an update to either iTunes or AX.
    I am running up-to-date iTunes and AX firmware (8.0.2 iTunes, 7.3.2 AX), have restarted both machines multiple times, and reinstalled iTunes and reuploaded AX firmware. Here's the kicker: my roommate's MacBook running iTunes 8.0.2 works with the speakers perfectly.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes! Turning back on ipv6 and setting it to "auto" worked for me. Really strange - trying to get this to work for months (on and off) - almost tossed it - thank you very much!

  • The AirPlay device is not compatible with this version of iTunes.

    I can no longer connect one of my Air Port devices. I continually get the same error message.
    "The AirPlay device “Bedroom” is not compatible with this version of iTunes."
    Bedroom is the name I gave the device. I just updated my Itunes, and it shows "bedroom" as a multi speaker option, but wont connect. I'm not tech savy at all, just frustrated. Please help.
    Brian.

    Restarted everything twice. Now it works. Don't know how or why, but at least it's on now.

  • Remote speaker is not compatible with this version of iTunes?

    Make sure your iTunes software is up to date.
    Launch iTunes. Then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen, click iTunes > Check for Updates ...

Airport Admin utility displays all three airport units, but I'm now unable to broadcast to the remote Express hooked up to my stereo in adjacent room. Have done this many times in the past without problem, but not in past couple months, so can't say if it broke with 7.1 or 7.1.1, but I get this message from iTunes:
    The remote speaker "Living Room Speakers" is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    Prior to restarting iTunes (and being sure all Aiport station firmware was up-to-date, I was getting the message that no speakers were connected (double-checked all speaker and stereo connections), but now just the "not compatible" message.
