Required upgrades for iPhone and iTunes?

I am running Mac OS X 10.4 and was wondering what I need to upgrade to to purchase an iPhone and download iTunes 10.

You need at least 10.5.8, which is the max OS a PPC Mac can run, yet has some shortcomings if you use Calendar Syncing, or 10.6.x if you have an Intel Mac.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

The other Option is a PC running at least XP SP3, iirc.

  • Sync settings for iphone and itunes

    I am trying to sync my iphone and everytime I do my playlists drop songs.  I would prefer the device to push from the iphone and not vice versa.  How do I set this?

    YOUwould think that setting up playlists in iTunes that even if you then delete a playlist or a song on the iPhone, the original playlist should stay there! WRONG! This is the 2nd time I went to play a song on my iPhone and suddenly the iPhone told me "No Content". The song's data had disappeared, but the playlist was still there. here is the first thing I discovered. DO NOT DELETE THE playlist if you want it to still exist in iTunes. As soon as you delete the playlist, the next sync with iTunes will DELETE THE PLAYLIST in iTunes. The songs seem to stay in iTunes, but the playlists disappear along with the songs assigned to them. Weirdly if you list your songs on the iPhone by Song, rather than playlist, they all still show up! If you try to play one, the iPhone starts going down the alphabetical list trying to find a song to play since the one you previously found out was gone, is still gone and can't play. Once the iPhone finds a song to play it will stop running down the list. If you stop the song that is playing and look at the list by song again, you will see all the songs in front of the one being played that are missing have a red circle with a red square next to them. If you try to delete any song with a red circle/square iTunes will crash. Relaunching iTunes  all the songs that had the red circle/square are gone and the last song in the play by song list is the one that the iPhone was able to play last. When this happened I lost 97% of the songs on my iPhone. I deleted the playlists just to clean up the iPhone and the next sync - all of the playlists I had deleted were gone in Itunes. The songs were still in iTunes, but the playlists were gone! I suspect the code is designed for listing by song since this is the "first" or "default" lising in iTunes. The other organizations of songs - playlists, artists, etc are added. If songs are disappearing FROM iTUNES as well as playlists, then Apple has a serious problem. I have seen similar complaints for 5 years! Come On APPLE FIX IT already!

  • Cant change or delete apple id used for iphone and itunes

    id managment issue. I have an id based on my current email account. I can't recall the password and can't reset the password. I get the email to reset the password however when I enter the new password and hit submit it says the id is in use.  Have been trying to contact Apple but no response. Have created a new email account and new apple id's to get around the problem but would like to delete the original and or at least change the password. Suggestions?

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
    I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
    -Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
    -Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
    - I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
    -Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
    -This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
    The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

  • Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

    My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
    The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
    All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
    Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
    However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
    I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
    Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

    Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
    So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!

  • I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?

    I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?

    @Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
    BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
    Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

  • For some reason all my ringtones that I have purchase have disappered on my iphone and itunes on my computer.

    For some reason all my ringtones that I have purchase have disappered on my iphone and itunes on my computer. How do I get them back? They are not on my purchase list.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.

  • Is the IOS5 upgrade for iphone 3G because mine says it is up to date and wont upgrade to IOS 5

    is the IOS5 upgrade for iphone 3G because mine says it is up to date and wont upgrade to IOS 5

    This is all true.
    The iphone 3G can only be updated to 4.2.1.  It will not support any version higher than that.

  • ITunes stuck in "Waiting for iPhone" and iPhone 5's progress bar won't start loading.

    I was with about 40% battery, playing a game, when my iPhone 5 iOS 8.1 suddenly turned off, it wouldn't turn back on even with 30m charging. I went to iTunes, and it recognized it on recovery mode, and I tried to restore. However, it got stuck on "Waiting for iPhone" and the iPhone was with the progress bar at 0% for HOURS. I can't find a solution for the problem myself.
    Thanks.

    do you have a cdma iphone 4? becauase cdma iphones dont have a sim card slot... the providers that use cdma technology here in the us would be verizion, sprint, criket, ect... if you want to use your iphone 4 on att or tmobile (gsm carriers). then you would need a gsm iphone 4 (has sim card slot). a gsm iphone 4 is different than a cdma iphone 4 (they have different radio chips). maby you missed the sim card slot? sim card slot would be on the side of the phone.. never inside (unless it has a removable back cover like the galaxy s3 or s4), if you dont see a sim card slot on the side of the phone than you have a cmda iphone 4. can you tell me what carrier you are trying to use?

  • Where is the documentation for Jabber for iPhone and iPad 9.6.1 ???

    Jabber for iPhone and iPad 9.6.1 was released on Tuesday Jan 14th 2014.
    I see the 4 .cop files on cisco.com  in a zip file copfiles_iOS96.zip. What is the difference between the 4 files?  Application in the AppStore on my iPad, but there are no release notes, or documentation on cisco.com.  All I can assume is that these .sgn files need to go on my Publisher/TFTP server?
    Nothing here about a 9.6.1

    I only see two COP files, one for iPhone (TCT) and one for iPad (TAB). These are required on older (can't believe I'm calling 8.6 older already!) builds of CUCM.
    Which other files do you see?

  • Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

    Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
    I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

    I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
    These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
    Which particular issue are you referring to?
    Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.
