TS4062 iphone 5 wont sync after update

itunes wont sync

10.7.5 is Lion.   10.5.7 is Leopard.  Which do you have?
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac
1. If it says Intel CoreDuo, you can only upgrade up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
2. If it says Intel Core2Duo or i3, i5, or i7, you need to buy Snow Leopard, install 10.6.6 or later to buy 10.7 or later.
Before you go down path number 2, recognize there are a lot of software title not compatible with 10.7 or later that are with 10.6.8 or earlier.  See this tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
Note the iPhone 5s can run a minimum of iOS 8.1.3 which will sync with 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.4.  You only need 10.7.3 or later for syncing with iCloud itself.
And iTunes pre-version 11 is required to maintain iTunes Cover Flow.  If you like Cover Flow, you may just have to resort to syncing your phone with Windows on your Mac.

  • Iphone 5s wont sync after update

    Hi,
    Since I got a new iPhone 5s with the most recent update I can no longer sync with iTunes, telling me a new version of iTunes needs to be installed, however I can't install this version because my Macbook needs Lion (currently Leopard), having purchased Lion it won't install on my Macbook due to the processor, is there any way I can either go back in time (iPhone) or have the correct processor fitted to my Macbook?
    Please help
    Many thanks
    Simon

  • Have a error code 4013. iphone 4s wont restore after update.

    my iphone will not restore after update. it is stuck in recovery mode. i get error code 4013 everytime a try to restore but i cant find anything on error code 4013.

    DFU mode is also good as stated above, however the instructions for DFU mode are below (please note this is not the same as recovery mode) -
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Home button and Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
    Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present, device screen should remain black.
    Error 4013 is due to security software issues. Uninstall all security software completely, try again, if the issue persists I would either recommend another computer or calling AppleCare tech support at 1-800-APL-CARE (for US customers).
    Note- this is even if your device worked fine prior to iOS 7 update with your security software. The change in the operating system on the device can cause compatibility issues with these other programs.
    I hope this helps it worked for me!

  • My iPhone will not sync after updating to 7.1.1

    After updating to 7.1.1 my iPhone no longer successfully syncs with iTunes. I'm on Windows...anyone have any insight?

    I am in the same boat with you. I have tried every single "fix" I can find. I have also tried:
    restoreing from back up
    restore to factory default
    uninstall and reinstall itunes
    restore in recovery mode
    and much much more!
    any more help would be ideal .

  • Iphone 5 wont start after updating ios7.04v

    My Iphone 5 would not start after updating it to ois 7.0.4. It says i need to connect to itunes but when i do it asked me to restore to my original settings. when i tried doing that my iphone keeps crashing

    Hello shefali,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I NEED HELP!! my iphone 5s wont activate after updating to ios 8 . what is wrong?

  • My iphone 3gs wont activate after updating to ios 5

    ive updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 but now itunes wont activate my phone and comes up with a messege saying my phone has no sim inserted when it has one (original orange UK sim), what can i do to sort this out

    I had the same problem with mine and found out because i bought it second hand and had it unlocked updating it causes it to go back to being locked again. If you've bought it in the same situation then maybe that's the problem, i got it unlocked really cheap too and now its back to normal and all my messges, apps and pics are back.
    hope this helps

  • My iphone 5c wont work after update from ios 7 to ios 8, is on recovery mode but my itunes wont find my device to restore it

    I update my iphone 5c ios 7.1.2 (i think) to ios 8.0.2, however when it was intalling it suddently stppoed and my iphone only displayed the itunes icon with the cable plug in in the screen. I searched all over the internet for the solution and it says to turn the device into recovery mode and plug it to itunes so it can restore with ios 8 on it, however my itunes doesnt find my device in any way, i tried updating my itunes my windows everything, but still doesnt work, help please!!

    If  your phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are gone.  Certainly before performing a software update, you backed up your data and imported your important photos onto your computer, right?

  • Iphone 3GS wont activate after update

    I tried to update my phone and it came up with an error message, I have since restored to factory settings but now it won't activate.
    It just comes up with
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    Please try again later, or contact customer care.
    I've tried this several times through wi-fi and i-tunes connections.
    It is an iphone 3gs on the orange network, there is a working sim in the phone.
    Let me know if there is a solution.
    Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
