Problem syncing my iphone with itunes

Right i have been given a Power Mac G4
I have managed to get the itunes that was already installed on the computer to work with my itunes account, but when i plug my iPhone in to the computer, it comes up with the following message...
''The iPhone ''Riki Urquhart'' cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes''
I followed these instructions and when i went to load the new version of iTunes on to the computer i get a message saying there is a problem with my system and i need Mac os x 10.5 or later...
Can someone please help me as i need to get my iPhone backed up and cleared as i have no memory left and need to organise the phone better, plus i havent managed to update in for over one year?
Riki

Not gonna work.
iPhone 4G requires 10.5.8 or later & iTunes 10.1 or later.
You should update your OS to 10.4.11 (run Software update from Apple menu). This is the most recent OS your system can run.
Also, iTunes 2009 is not a version. iTunes menu iTunes > About iTunes.

  • Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
    If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

  • Unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes all of a sudden...

    I'm presently unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes for some odd reason. It says "Syncing is disabled on this computer." I checked the iTunes settings and it said under "Syncing" in the preferences that it was in fact enabled so I don't see why all of a sudden I'm having these problems. Any suggestions?

    I first reset the sync services in the (Applicantions - Utilities) Terminal: killall SyncServer syncuid SystemUIServer
    Then I went to *User/Library/Application Support and dragged the SyncServices folder to the Trash.
    Then I logged out from the Apple Menu.
    Then I logged back in.
    Now all of the syncing services are working correctly.

    When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me a warning that I don't have enough memory and yet the status bar at the bottom says that I do and I know that I have enough memory. What's the problem? It happens with the ipods and ipad as well!!!

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

    How do I sync my iphone with itunes without losing everything on my phone?

    Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
    What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore
    If this is the case, you first need to Import iPhone library to iTunes and then, you'll be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes with no problem

    Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Make sure you see the iPhone under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
    Then select from the menu what you want to sync.. Music / Apps / Video / Podcasts etc.
    Tunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone under Devices, click here.

  • Can i use multiple computers to sync my Iphone with itunes?

    Can I use a different computer to sync my Iphone with itunes since my laptop crashed?

    No. TM is machine specific and is not ideal for syncing machines. You need syncing software or MobileMe. MobileMe has a 2 month free trial. Oh, cloning software of specific files may work as well depending on what you are syncing.

    I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.
