New iphone system won't talk to old macbook

Just got the new software on my iphone 4Gs, but My black macbook (purchased fall 2008) needs a more recent software for the newest itunes required to work with my iphone now.  What can i do?..

Hello,
Sounds like you need iTunes 10.7 which supports iSO 6.  The latest version of iTunes will run on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher. Check to see what version of Mac OS X you have installed by going to the apple logo top left and then to 'About This Mac'  if your MacBook requires an update to Mac OS X 10.6 then your going to need a retail copy of this OS.
Best of luck

  • HT1349 My new iPhone 4S won't sync to my MacBook Pro.  I installed the latest version of iTunes but it doesn't recognize my phone when I connect with USB.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    It's strange, on my work issued Windows laptop I have no issues syncing my iPhone to iTunes.  But on my personal MacBook, iTunes does not pick up my iPhone when I connect via USB.  Any advice on this please?

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

  • New Iphone 4s won't sync, can't get past 'syncing calendars step 2 of 6'???

    New Iphone 4s won't sync off my computer, can't get past 'syncing calendars step 2 of 6'.  Got 1/3 of old apps, and contacts, but a 2/3 of my old apps are on the computer....  not real computer savvy, any suggestions?

    no no a hard reset is just something you do to the phone, you wont lose any data or anything else its litterally like starting your phone on a fresh slate running wise but you wont lose anything at all, all your apps settings etc will still be right as you left it. think of it as a step above turning it off and on again

  • Urgent please: lost all datas while sync my new iPhone. how can i retrieve my old datas? through icloud?

  • HT4623 I update my new iphone with the data of my old iphone.  Now every email is post twice.  Can someone tell me how to correct that from happening?

    I purchase a new iphone.  I backed up my old iphone and moved the data to my new iphone.  My new iphone shows my emails twice every time a new email comes up.  How can I correct this issue?

    Just to make sure - You're saying you had backed up your iPhone 4. When you plug in the 3GS, and try to "restore" the data from the iPhone 4 backup onto the 3GS, you get that error? Check to see if the iOS version is up-to-date, and hopefully it isn't. It might also be because your iPhone 4 wasn't, and is causing some sort of problem.
    Good luck!

  • Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

    If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

    Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
    The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

  • The latest Pages won't save new docs and won't open some old ones. What do I do?

    Then you have two version of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.x is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '08/'09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

    My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

  • I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

    I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

  • New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet

    New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet beyond my home wi fi. How can I correct this? I need internet where I go.

    I've got exactly the same problem.
    Upgraded to iOS7 all was fine. 
    It then prompted me to upgrade to 7.0.2 and now my iPhone 4s won't connect to Internet anymore.
    There was also a carrier settings update that I accepted which could have broken things.
    I've tried different APN settings but it still won't connect for me :-(
    Tried a Reset Network Setting, and the problem is the same.

  • In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?

    Not sure where you backup to.
    ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
    Icloud keeps the 3 last backup.

    Hey JustEhlan,
    Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

  • When you restore a backup onto a brand new iPhone will it also transfer your old google searches

    When you restore a backup onto a brand new iPhone will it also transfer your old google searches

    See the restore from iTunes backup topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    You should be offered which backup to restore from after you click on restore from backup.
