OSX 10.5.8, iTunes 10 and iPhone IOS7

I use a Mac G5 PPC running OSX 10.5.8 so that I can edit on Final Cut Studio 6, which I use as a professional editor.  Final Cut Studio 6 is not supported on the current Mac Intel operating systems (and I cannot upgrade to 7 because you no longer sell it ). Also, iTunes 10 is the highest version of iTunes that can run on my PPC.
Two days ago, I had a phone with all my music on it however to manually sync new tracks onto it because of an iTunes library issue, I had to select to manually manage my music tracks which deleted everything and required me to have to re-add everything.  Before I did that, I updated my apps via the iTunes store. I also upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7 after many applications I had already updated started running slow in the past two months. and I finally gave in to the system settings exclamation point prompt. Upon upgrading my IOS and plugging it into my G5, I was then greeted with a prompt informing me to upgrade my iTunes because the version I was running would not sync with IOS7.  However, iTunes 11 is not available for my G5 PPC, and consequently, I cannot sync any of my personal data from contacts, calender dates, or music files to my "smart phone".  Nor can I back up my iPhone onto my computer for safety. What a shock that with that exclamation point prompt to upgrade to IOS7, there was no warning this would happen to those of us without iTunes 11 and that we can't downgrade back to the older IOS so that we may sync our G5s with the phone we rely on for productivity outside our home offices.
I shelled out the annual $24.99 fee to subscribe to iTunes match, but I am still faced with the inability to sync my phone to the computer I work on and it's taking days to upload my music on my internet connection. 
My G5 serves me well with the software I rely on to earn my living (FCP 6 Studio) and I do not feel I should be compelled to purchase an entirely new computer with Intel to sync my phone to my data or work professionally on FCPX which none of my peers use within the professional community I work in.
Please tell me why as a long-standing Apple customer, I should ever purchase another iPhone again given your company's unwillingness to release a version of iTunes 11 for those of us using perfectly operating G5 PPCs to sync one Apple product with another?

This is a user to user forum - you aren't talking to Apple here. I'm afraid all we can do is sympathize - you have described the situation exactly. Whenever you do any system upgrade it's advisable to check on its requirements - that for iOS7 presumably indicates that iTunes 11 is required. I'm sorry to say that there is no solution for your situation.

    What options does booting with this give me?

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it?

    I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it? It is beyond annoying, as it constantly has the badge noticfication but can't update the app as it is no longer avaliable. Help!!!

    Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it. 

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.

  • Sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    Restart your computer
    While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
    After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
    Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
    When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

  • Moving iTunes and iPhone from an old PC to a new MacBook Pro

    Hi, I am having some real problems. I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro to replace my old Windows PC. I am having no trouble moving all of documents and music from the old PC however I am completely stuck for what to do in transferring my iTunes and iPhone 4 content AND information onto the new itunes. I have consolidated the music files on the old pc but havent copied anything yet.
    What I am looking to do is to be able to sync the iPhone to the new Mac without any of the information on the iphone being erased. Is this possible without having to pay for third party software? I have a WiFi network which both of the computers are connected to. I am also able to use an external harddrive.
    I have already transferred the purchases from my account onto the new mac but a lot off my music isnt from the itunes store but is from various CD's.
    I am really lost on what to do and I am even considering writing down all my contacts, lol. However, i do have all of my current iPhone info such as contacts and calender sync'd with iCloud if this helps.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Thanks wjosten.  I've now been through all this, and there was a lot of old 3d party phone stuff to remove.
    However, I have not progressed really.  Any other thoughts on this please?

  • All updates for iTunes and iPhone are hanging

    Trying to update iTunes and iPhone but everytime I do the downloads stall and hang and I have to cancel and restart my computer. ALL other downloads happen just fine without any stall. I have Windows 7. I have tried changing my firewall settings or anti-virus settings and the Apple downloads still do not go through. I am on a DSL line and like I said ALL other downloads and updates come through just quickly. Any ideas???

    It might just be easiest to download it at a friend's house and put it on a USB stick.

    Most likely your phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock.  When you updated it was re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now activate and operate only with that carrier and their SIM card.
