Why does it say my PC is not compatible with iCloud?

Why cant I download update my itunes to have icloud on my old PC? I just got a new iphone and cant sync them. HELP!

It might help for me to tell the whole story. I have a Dell laptop with Vista on it. I used forever with iTunes for y iPod. When I got an iPhone 4 I used it as well. I never updated the iTunes download for unknown reasons, so I never had iCloud on my iPhone 4. I recently got a new laptop and couldn't just iCloud my iTunes account to my new laptop. Yesterday I traded my iPhone 4 for a 4s and I am unable to get any content on my new phone because my old iTunes on my dell with vista won't download it. It says "windows installer is missing" a file to install the newer version of iTunes. Thanks for all your help.

  • Why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed

    why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed when it is - windows 7 IE11????

    Unless you're on a company computer and locked down to prevent using anythng else, I'd recommend you drop Microsoft's pathetic excuse for a browser and download Firefox.
    Then install the Flash Player Plug-in (For other browsers), and free yourself from the chains of the guys in Redmond, WA who can only seem to get things right 50% of the time.

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • I HAVE A BRAND NEW IPHONE 5S. IT SUDDENLY DOESNT WANT TO CHARGE. IT SAYS THE CHARGER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY DEVISE. WHY DID THAT HAPPEN?

    I have a brand new iphone. All of a sudden it will not charge. When i plug the charger to the phone it says that charger its not compadible with my phone and sometimes it will charge up to 4% and then it wont charge any more. Why is this?

    If your phone is still under warranty, get it checked by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider to find out what the problem might be.
    Could be the USB adapter, USB cable or the docking port of the phone.

  • Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

    i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
    Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
    These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
    ..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

  • Why does it say my computer is not authorized for apps installed my iPhone?

    Why does this happen occasionally?
    I just got home and sat down at my computer to work and plugged in my iPhone to charge and I got this nonsense message (and this has happened a few times in the past)
    So I clicked on authorize and entered my apple ID. Then it gives me this message that makes me say "Duh!" (I've had this phone for over a year, plugging it into my computer every day, including earlier today just fine)
    But the worst thing is that after I click OK on that message, it gives me the first message again!  I'm forced to click on Don't Authorize or go around in an endless circle.
    Please tell me what's going on . . . ?

    I'm using OS X version 10.10.1
    In my phone settings it says Version 8.1.2
    Maybe there's some confusion because when I bought this iMac in 2011 the only other Apple device we already owned was my daughter's iPod, and we have plugged it in to this machine. But definitely by the time I got my iPhone in November 2013 I created my own Apple ID. There was great confusion at that time because of having two Apple IDs and I'm still confused.
    But right now I have a worse problem so I'll be moving to my other thread (in which I wondered whether it's possible to revert to an older OS).

  • When trying to burn a cd in itunes, why does it says cd burner software not found?

    When trying to burn a cd, itunes says cd burner software not found.

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:

  • HT204053 Why does it say that there was a problem with a previous purchase and not let me download apps?

    Everytime I try to download a new app it says that there was a problem with a previous purchase and then it said that my card was declined

    These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know what the problem with the previous purchase might be.
    Does the name and address on your credit card match exactly the name and address on your iTunes account, and have you checked with your card issuer to see if they are ones who are declining it ?  You can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT3209 why does it say my device is not hd compatible, i have 15 inch macbook with retina display

    I was trying to rent a Movie on the itunes store and it had an error message saying my device was not HD compatible.

    I had the same problem on my fancy new retina display macbook pro.  It appears that if the last device you watched a movie on was not HD compatible (e.g. my old Apple TV at 720P) it will give you this error, even though you intended to watch the movie on your laptop.  Just go to the output selector button next to the volume slider and select your computer as the output device, then retry to download the HD movie and it will work.  My Apple TV was (literally) thousands of miles from my laptop when it gave me this error.  Software glitch.

  • Why is Norton Safe Search and Logins not compatible with 4.0?

    I can't use Norton Toolbar or get Norton Safe site info. Also Norton auto fill for Logins will not work with Firefox 4.0.

    Norton pulls this crap with every new version of Firefox for the last few years now. And it's not like Mozilla develops Firefox in a vacuum, and then springs the new version on an "unsuspecting security vendor world". Plus, Norton doesn't seem to be content with just updating their Firefox extensions all by themselves for existing customers. Norton makes a big deal of it all by coming up with a new version of the entire security program, that they then charge their users for - even users who are still under contract with Norton.
    I honestly don't know why anyone would actually pay for Norton, when there are so many better security applications out there that don't cost a dime - for personal use.

  • Firefox is asking me to update to v5 but are saying this version is not compatible with Google. Has this problem been resolved yet?

    I updated my browser to v5 and was told that it would not be compatible with Google at this time. I was not able to log onto Google nor bring up the Google toolbar and related search ability.
    I have therefore switched back to v4.01 and I now can use Google. Is this new version 5 now compatible with Google or will it ever be??
    Thanks Bill

    The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about the GTB this morning. <br />
