Need itunes 10 but don't have system requirements

I have a MacBook Pro v10.4.11 and I just bought an iPhone 4. I need itunes 10 but it requires Mac 10.5. I tried checking for software updates but nothing. Can anyone tell me how to sync my phone?

You will have to upgrade to Leopard 10.5 at least. With a MacBook Pro you could possibly go as far as the most recent OSX version, 10.7 Lion. Alternatively you could go for 10.6 Snow Leopard. Which versions you can run depend upon your computer's specifications.
These aren't free downloads. For Lion check the main Apple page since this is what they currently sell in the store. Snow Leopard is probably still available through Apple Sales, and even Leopard might just happen to be. If your MBP supports it I'd go for Snow Leopard at least since it is still being supported by Apple and would be much cheaper than Leopard (note, because you are running Tiger they will strongly urge you to buy the more expensive box set, but unless you feel you want to update your other software most people just go with the basic $29 SL upgrade).

Get Snow Leopard 10.6 if you have an intel Mac (you don't post any hardware info).

Trying to verify my iTunes account, but don't have access to email

I've been trying to verify my iTunes account in order to sync some music from my iPod to my computer, but after logging in it says that verification is necessary via email. I can't remember the password and recovery is out of the question since in my haste to make this mule account I but in bogus information. Is there any other way to verify my iTunes account?

That's because you don't have iOS 5 or higher. See the following:
Connect the phone to your computer. Open iTunes. Select your phone from the sidebar under Devices. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Click on the Update button.

Boot Camp Version 1.3b expired.. need to update but don't have windows.

So let me run you through what I did so far.
I got a version of Boot Camp 1.3 beta. I successfully installed it and began to go through the steps to set up windows. I skipped the burning the windows CD option and went straight to the partitioning. I created a 20gig partition named "Bootcamp."
I then realized I needed to burn the windows CD from Boot Camp in order to install it. So I quit the Boot Camp Assistant Application. The option to burn the windows CD was no longer available so I scrapped the Boot Camp Assistant, re-downloaded the 1.3 beta version and installed it.
Still no opportunity to burn the windows drivers CD disc. So I quit the assistant once again. I attempted to re-open the Boot Camp Assistant and I got an error message telling me it expired. So I set the date back on my clock to a date before the beta version expired (prior to Sept. 30, 2007).
Then, I got this error message:
This version of Boot Camp Assistant is not supported in Mac OS X v10.5. Use Boot Camp Assistant 2.0, located in /Applications/Utilities/.
And that's where I am right now. I still have to have the date set back to before Sept. 30th, 2007 to get to the error message above or else it tells me the version is expired.
So I've determined that I need to update Boot Camp to version 2.0 or higher, except I don't have windows installed on my computer yet. The mac support page tells me that I have to open windows and then install the updates to the latest version of boot camp... which I obviously can't do because I haven't installed windows yet.
So I'm stuck with a partitioned drive and I cannot use the Boot Camp Assistant. I need the assistant to burn the windows install CD that I need..
I'm in quite a pickle. Any help would be appreciated.. thank you.
If you need more information let me know I'll try provide the information needed to fix this issue.
Thank you.

I don't have the Leopard disc because a man updated it for me in the mac store when I brought my laptop in for repairs.
You need to get that disk to use Boot Camp. Mac OS X 10.4 disks don't contain the drivers.
So, I have this Mac OSX install disc.. do I just insert it? And then what? How do I go about installing windows after that? I'm a little confused about how to get to the drivers and what to do I'm just not sure.
Once you've partitioned the drive and installed Windows, start up the computer into Windows and insert the disk. The installer should automatically start.

GTX 470 Twin Frozr II fan bearing failing, need to RMA but don't have receipt

Hi all, I live in the UK and one of the fans in my GTX470 TFII has started to make an annoying grinding sound which comes and goes. Seems like a dodgy bearing, apparently this is common with Twin Frozr cards. Can't seem to find a replacement fan online anywhere (model is Power Logic PLD08010S12HH I think).
Anyway so it looks like I have to RMA the card. However apparently the RMA has to be done through the reseller as I'm in the UK. This is a problem as I bought this over a year ago and don't have any receipt for it, I can't even remember where I bought it from. How would I go about RMAing this card?

over a year probably means re-teller warranty is expired so it would need to go to straight to msi.
the shop you got it from would have your details just give them name address - last 4 digits of credit card and they'll be able to find you.
support.msi.com
or similar to start an MSI RMA
it will take time so hope you have a card to use in the mean time. I had to go back to integrated when I did my RMA. - not even able to full screen youtube.

HT4929 I don't have system requirements for icloud, will I lose my mail ?

What will happen if I don't move to icloud in 30 days. I don't have the system requirement and will have to buy lion and more memory.
I've very unhappy with apple for forcing us to move to the cloud. I don't care about syncing all of my devices.

Heres the immediate confusion that could have been easily avoided: The main page at me.com/move seems to strongly suggest that if your computer is not yet upgraded to Lion, the main requirement for iCloud, you cant move to iCloud. The statement is that ALL devices must be compatible in order to "move".
But then, at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4929
the first sentence is
"If you cannot update all of your devices to the iCloud system requirements, you can still move to iCloud, but iCloud services will work only on the devices that meet the system requirements".
So, if you want iCloud features on your OTHER devices, (most useful if you have more than one other device), you would move to iCloud (paradoxically -- in my case-- using a computer that will not (yet) be able to use iCloud), and reset your Mail settings as per the link above. You can still access some synced data on the non-Lion machine via a browser at iCloud.com.
From my read of HT4929, if instead you opted not to move, but only "keep using my email", (if you did not care about any other syncing), you might NOT have to change your Mail settings, (thats been my experience so far) or you may have to soon, when things actually shift (sometime after the supposed deadline) at the mail server-side, (as per Rogers comment above).
Thats how I see it.

My Ipod needs hardware repair, but don't have proof-of-purchase

Hi guys, I'm new over here. I don't know if I'm even posting in the right place, or if these forums are here for this kinds of questions. Sorry If I'm using them the wrong way...
The thing is that I'm having some troubles with my Ipod Touch. I first realized that there was something wrong with it when I tried plugging to a car adapter. It kind of sounded over the radio, but with very low volume, lots of noise, and without announcing that it was charging.
Then, I went to my computer, plugged it in, and notice that it wasn't getting any charge neither, nor wasn't being recognized by Itunes nor the typical USB discovery. Then I went to my nearest Apple Store and the guy told me that he needed a proof-of-purchase receipt to validate the warranty and repair the Ipod, and that if I didn't have one, I'd have to pay for the repair, and that for what it looks, I'm better off buying a new Ipod.
The thing is that my mom bought my Ipod last November, in the Lenox Square Apple Store in Atlanta, and she then came to Venezuela and lost the receipt (maybe she forgot she needed it, or nobody told her about the warranty so she threw it away).
My question is this basically: what can I do? I've thought of contacting the Lenox Square Store (preferable via email) to explain them what happened, so that maybe they could help me get something that would work as a proof-of-purchase, but there're no email addresses easily visible and I don't wanna waste a Long distance call just to get bummed out.
What do you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance, I'll appreciate every kind of help you could give; even if it's just "Dude, you're screwed."

I did! And according to the link you gave, it says that my Ipod is Registered, Expired for Telephone Technical Support, and Active for Repairs and Service Coverage, with an estimated expiration date of November 26, 2010, which seems about right--that's the week my mom came back from her trip!
So I'm a little bit more hopeful now, but still a little worrisome: the guy at the Apple Store checked the Serial Number using the bar code beneath the Ipod Box and said, "I need proof-of-purchase 'cause according to the system, this Ipod left a Store on May 2009, so it's ALMOST out of warranty, and Apple will require them that I give them a copy of the receipt."
Still. I'm thinking of printing that screenshot and showing it to him.
Thanks a lot luvlabs!

I want to make a back up of my iTunes library but don't have the space

I have room on my exteranl hard drive but not on my main one. Whenever I try and make a rar file it doesn't let me choose the destination. What compression form should I use and how do I get it to transfer to my external hard drive? Thanks for any help

+"Whenever I try and make a rar file it doesn't let me choose the destination. What compression form should I use"+
None! File packing schemes such as RAR, Zip, etc, cannot do much to compress music files. (If you want to see what I mean, make a folder with a few songs in it and compare it before and after.)
+"how do I get it to transfer to my external hard drive?"+
Just copy it there. In Windows, open the external and drag the contents into it.

ITunes says I don't have the required software to communicate with an ipod

Every time I start iTunes I get the following error message:
The software required for this iPod [nano 7, firmware version 1.0.3] is not installed correctly.
Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software.
I have reinstalled iTunes about ten times, with elevated privileges, both in normal mode and safe mode, and under the administrator account. Itunes says it was successfully installed, but it obviously wasn't since I still get the same error message after each installation. I also tried repairing iTunes and rolling back iTunes but all with no success. I have also tried uninstalling all apple related programs and services from my computer (bonjour, icloud, itunes, quicktime, AppleMobileDevice service, iPod folder from the programs folder, the apple directory in the temp folder). I have also used 7-zip to open the package and tried to only run the iTunes installer, which didn't work any better. I have checked to make sure the AppleMobileDevice service is running and it is set to automatically start with windows (bonjour service is also configured to start automatically). And yes I have verified that they are both running. I have also reset my ipod settings, as well as starting iTunes while holding control+ shift. Windows recognizes that my ipod is attached and has installed the drivers successfully. I am running Windows 7 home premium, 64-bit and I am trying to install iTunes 12.0.1.
Any other ideas or suggestions?

Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

How do you get a wndows System disc for nb205-311/W? Need to re-load Windows but don't have disc...

My nb205-311/W crashed and I need to re-load Windows, but don't have a disc. Does anyone know if the laptop comes with one? Don't remember there being one in the box.
Does anyone know where I can get one? I cannot find any way to actually contact Toshiba to request one.
Thanks for any and all help and advice!!!

They don't come with a physical disk these days, and haven't for several years. They come with a app to create them from a hidden partition on the hard drive, but that also requires an external USB DVD Burner. Otherwise you can go to this post to find out how to order replacement media.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Need to wipe out HD but don't have install disk? I have lion 10.7.5

Need to wipe out HD but don't have the install disk? I want to sell my Macbook Pro 15 inch. I have the orginal disk it came with but it's leopard and I have seens then upgraded to Lion. Now I can't find Lion and the install disk (leopard) tells me you can't you this disk. So does ANYONE out there know anyway I can work around this???
I have tried the recovery HD by rebooting (holding down opiton and R) but it dosn't do anything but restart the comptuer.
Am I doing something wrong?

First, if you purchased Lion at the app store, the license is not transferable - it is forever tied to your Apple ID. So you can't sell the machine with Lion on it (there is no install disk for Lion anyway). You do need to reinstall the original OS so the buyer can purchase Lion with their own Apple ID.
As for your problem with the install disk - you do need to boot from another disk in order to erase your hard drive. Have you tried to insert it and then go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > select it and then hit restart?
