Os 7 did my iphone in

This is a question that think i know the answer to: i am SOL. I have on iphone 4S which i was able to connect to iTunes via my iMac G5. Everything was fine. Then MY MISTAKE: I upgraded the iphone to os 7. Now when i connect the iphone i get the message that i need to upgrade iTunes to version 11 point something. Of course i can't do this because of my older mac. Now i am stuck; can't go back to os 6. Apples solution: buy a new computer!!!! How is that for user-friendly technology? I would welcome a solution though.

Even iOS 6 required at least iTunes 10 which required OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
Anyway, you are not really required to have your iPhone plug in to iTunes to have it function.  You can do many of the functions wirelessly that used to require plugging in to iTunes.

  • How soon did your iPhone ship?

    Hi,
    For those of you who ordered the new iPhone (5) during the "available 3-4 weeks" how long after you've place the order did your iPhone ship?
    Reason I'm asking this is because I've read from numerous (trusted) sources that the "big three" in the US have lowered their waiting times to one week or less yet the Apple Online Store still states 3 to 4 weeks.

    I have the same issue. Ordered it two and a half weeks ago, and even though the expected ship dates have changed from 3-4 weeks then 2-3 weeks and now 2 weeks, my date still shows the original ship dates of Nov. 30-Dec. 6
    I can walk into the AT&T store right now and pick one up as they told me they have a few in stock. This is agrrivating. I keep waiting for the email to tell me it has finally shipped. I'm so anxious I check it several times a day! LOL.

  • Why did my iPhone 5 get hot and shut down?

    Why did my iPhone 5 get hot and shut down?

    I would contact applecare about this issue. a hot phone is not normal , a warm phone is.
    but if you contact applecare that way you have a record of the issue incase it gets worse in the future.

  • HT201210 Why did my iPhone go in to recovery mode because it failed to update?

    Why did my iPhone go in to recovery mode because it failed to update?

    Probably because the update did not complete and/or the files got/were corrupted.

  • Why did my iphone add a  1 to all my contacts?

    Why did my iphone add a +1 to all my contacts after shutting it off? Now my contacts have disappeared because it does not recognize any of the numbers due to the +1.

    Did you change your region settings?
    If so, change it back to the country you're in.
    The reverse has happened to me from Austria to America, now my phone has old messages from austrian numbers but it doesn't show their names anymore because the implied +43 country code is gone.

  • HT3310 why did my iphone 5 always stuck on headphone mode

    Try plugging your headphones in/out about 20 times.
    Try cleaning your headphone jack and dock connector.

  • Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7? The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me and definitely not user friendly. Please advise.

    Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7?  The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me. If you select an item (grey dot) from the month display it will open up the 'spread sheet' at the current time of day, not necessarily when the calendar entry takes place.  I liked iOS6 where you could turn your iPhone to landscape mode and get that special 'spread sheet' feel if that's what you're into.  Has a 'List' presentation been removed from the iPhone Calendar with iOS7?

    The List view is displayed by tapping the Search magnifying glass.

  • Did latest iPhone update and now non of my third party apps work.  They open then close immediately.   I tried to restore but can't as my iphone wont sync with itunes now and I will loose my apps.  Also my largest app "Sat Nav" has gone.  Help ??

    Hi All
    I have run into problems with my iPhone 4.  I hadn't done an update for a while so decided to get my itunes and iphone 4 up to date.  I downloaded all the latest versions.  However now non of my third party apps work and my largest one has vanished.  I try and open them and they flash up and then close again. I thought the easiest thing to do was to restore so I tried to syn my apps onto itunes so I wouldn't loose them.  However it won't let me sync the apps onto iTunes.  It ill allow me to syn the old version when I just started but since then I have bought a dozen other apps.  Can anyone help.  thanks

    Well this won't work for me...
    I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
    NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

  • Why did my iPhone 4S just shut off and now it won't turn back on?

    Okay, so last night I was using my phone and the battery got to about 8% last time I checked.  Then I put it in my pocket and a little while later I tried to turn it on with the home button (because my lock button has somehow gotten jammed into the phone) but nothing happened.  It didn't even show the charge battery sign or anything.  So I plugged it up, and still nothing has worked.  Today, it is still messed up and won't turn on and it's really frustrating me.  My mom told me that I don't have insurance on my phone and it has been jailbroken before.  Is there anything I can do for it? My 2 year contract with Verizon is up on August 12th. Can I just take it to them and have them look at it and replace it for free?

    Hello there, Golf103.
    For the issue of not powering on, the following Knowledge Base article has a few good pointers to try:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • TS4083 Since I did an iPhone update, has anyone else noticed that it now freezes up and glitches like all the other Windows Phone?  Or is it just me.

    I did one updated just to ruin my iPhone 4s.  I did the 2nd update and I wish I would have never udpated.  How do I go back to my original iPhone setting without loosing all my stuff?

    Downgrading to an earlier iOS isn't supported, and there haven't been widespread reports of this problem.  You should try backing up, then restoring your phone.  If you save your photo stream photos to your camera roll and back up prior to restoring you won't lose anything.

  • Why did my iPhone photos get deleted and can I recover them?

    An entire album's worth of photos were deleted and I want to know why and if I can recover them.
    I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 6, iTunes 10, PC user.  Under "photo albums" I created a new album called "job photos" which I've been moving photos to as needed.  Today I took a bunch of picutures at work with my iPhone, and before I got to my computer I moved them over from the "camera roll" to the "job photos" album, then deleted the originals in "camera roll".  Everything worked fine until I synced the phone to iTunes. 
    Up until today I've been syncing a folder on my PC with a bunch of photos to my iPhone.  In order to save space on the phone I unchecked the "sync" box to stop syncing those photos.  After the phone was done syncing not only was my PC album gone but all the photos in my "job photos" album were gone too.  ***?
    Why did this happen and is there a way to recover the photos I just lost?  My iPhone wasn't backed up so I wouldn't be able to do a backup recovery.  Please help.

    You lost the photos because the actual data is in Camera Roll.  When you see pix in albums, it is by virtue of pointers to the actual storage in Camera Roll.  Otherwise, you would be using up storage by creating albums.  SO, do not delete from Camera Roll until you have copied to your PC.

  • Why did my iphone stop working?

    Yesterday, my iPhone ceased to work.  It is fully charged.  My AT&T bill is paid in full.  It can't be turned on via the on-off bar on top.  It was working fine and i did not have any problems with it historically.  It just stopped working.  Any ideas or do I need to take into Apple?  Please help.
    Rick

    That fixed it!  Thank you ever so much.  Any idea what caused it?  It just happened out of nowhere.  Thank you again.
    Rick

  • How did my iPhone 4 get additional free space?

    iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.
    I synced my iPhone 4 to iTunes on a laptop by accident.  I told my iPhone that I didn't trust the computer, and then I unhooked the phone.  But before I did, I noticed on iTunes that I had 1.7 gigs of free space.  On the same day, earlier, I noticed I only had 1.5 gigs.  After I unhooked, I noticed it jumped to 1.9 and stayed on 1.8 gigs.  What the **** happened?  I looked at the apps and non of them were erased as to photos and music.  I checked the emails, text, and voice messages saved, and none of them were erase. 
    What happened?
    Additional info that may not be related, but...
    I am using this app, Battery Doctor, and it told me that I had 1.7 gigs of free space, which was not true when I went to settings/general.  It said 1.5 gigs available.
    I did delete a lot of apps the previous day, but I would assume that my iPhone 4 would have caught up to the extact or general ammount of free space I retained.

    Cleanfiles? Don't know nor ever used it. I've never used anything on my iPhone that isn't part of the ecosystem. No jailbreak... for now at least.
