Why isn't my ios7 compatible with iOS 10.5.8 this is ridiculous I spent a lot of money on all my apple products just to have to buy an iOS upgrade to sync my music
All my products are apple I just bought iPhone 5 which is ios7 my iMac is osx 10.5.8. Apple are you kidding me that I have to upgrade to a new osx just to upload my music from my osx 10.5.8???? Must you selfishly greedily make me upgrade just to upload my songs from iTunes? Bert dissappointed in you apple. Why not just make iTunes compatible with the ios7????? Really?? You need to fix this problem make iTunes from my osx 10.5.8 compatible with my iPhone ios7. ***? Frustrating that an apple product is not compatable with another apple product which I spent ridiculous amounts of money for both my iMac and iPhone 5 isn't it enough that I spent ober 2000$ on my iMac and my iPhone just to have it not able to upload my songs??? What do u suggest I do buy snow leopard? Really? If you don't fix this problem how can you expect anyone to keep buying your product I mean come on I know marketing strategies and whatnot but if I spent 2000 + on my iPhone and IMAc should it not at least allow me to use my iTunes with my brand new iPhone and why not just make a dl for 10.5.8 do you really need me to buy snow leapord? Really? What is the meaning of this it is very frustrating seem like you guys purposefully make me and everyone spend more money for no reason.
1) The people responding in this forum are just other Apple product users like you, not Apple itself. Apple Support Communities is primarily an end-user to end-user (i.e., users like you helping other users) technical issue support feature. Feedback will truly get more attention if you send it using:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
2) At some stage developers decide it isn't worth the expense of supporting older technology. If I had my way you could still connect iOS7 to OS9, but Apple has decided to make the limit OS 10.6.8 Nor do I like that I can't get spare parts for my 33 year old car...
Suggestions...
If you are not going to always be running the newest technology always read software requirements before doing any upgrades. I run a 12 year old computer and yes, I see there are things I can't run (many), but I also then avoid buying any incompatible new technology. The system requirements are printed on the side of the box (albeit in 9 point medium gray font on light gray box ) Do not expect the Apple Store people to check with you about your computer first. I bet half of them were still in grade school when my computer was produced and none of them could possibly imagine anybody would run anything older than 6 years (probably not even that, more like 4).
Why not buy Snow Leopard? Of course you do not say what model computer you are using, but if you can run Snow Leopard on your computer there's no advantage to staying with Leopard. Snow Leopard costs $20 which is minimal compared to you now no longer being able to sync your phone.

I'd swear I posted almost this identical post two hours ago...
If you can't/don't want to upgrade your computer, you have 30 days to return the phone I believe.

Why isn't my iMac compatible with airplay mirroring with the new Mountain Lion upgrade?
Yesterday, I upgraded to the newly released Max OS X Mountain Lion, mainly because I was very interested in the airplay mirroring function that Mountain Lion brings to the table. To my dismay, however, I found that AirPlay is not available on my device due to the fact that my iMac is from mid/late 2010 and that function only works on mid-2011 and newer.
Why is it that my 21.5" iMac running a core i3 processor is not deemed worthy enough to have this function. I honestly feel a bit robbed that it is not included in my $19.99. Why am I paying the same price as someone else who is getting that key feature.
I love Apple to death. I've had many of their products, but I really feel as though this is unfair, and that I have been mislead.I don't know why it does not work - assuming it has something to do with firmware, EFI, or similar; however, if you want Apple to hear you, consider filing feedback here since these are strictly user to user forums:

Why isn't family base compatible with your phones to help parents protect their children?
we are concerned about all the applications that can be downloaded on a phone. Verizon offers a great application to help monitor this (app usage, automatically locking, etc.) but it is only available on android phones. This does nothing to help parents of children with I phones. why? Is there something out there like this for I phones?
You can setup Family Sharing from your own iCloud account. I've never used it so I can't give precise details on it.

I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps! Does anyone have an ideas about what I could do, to prevent all my things deleting, because I won't be spending more money on apps that I have already purchased once!!
Thank you,1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
After upgrading to iOs 5.1 the AV composite cable don't work, appear a message: the device is not compatible with iPad2, anyone else had this problem or have a solution for it?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings. -
Why is the N96 not compatible with DVB-T for the U...
Just a bit dissapointed to find out that the digital reciever for the N96 will not be compatible for use in the uk as we use dvb-t but the phone is only compatible with dvb-h. Is this true or is a bunch of lies spread by the darkside? or is more the truth that it wont be of much use untill the swith off of analogue in 2012?. The phone looks brilliant but the tv function was a big selling point especially over the new i-phone and other pretenders. Is there no way the tv tuner can be made to recieve dvb-t signals through software changes for example.
To me this is a much better feature than DVB-H because you can comfortably watch on the move. DVB-H just like DVB-T isn't very good whilst moving.
That's totally inaccurate. I've used DVB-H both in an N92 and N96 and while in the train or in a taxi and it works really well. Of course if you get out of coverage it will say "No signal" then once you move to signal area it will continue. But while moving within the coverage area it works really well.
So I'll have to disagree with you on this one.

I have all my music on iCloud, and it works beautifully with all my apple product. However, with my iPhone 4, the Cloud will show up but but not download any music. I have already updated all the software. Any suggestions?
Robert...
the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
See if you can change your password > Apple - My Apple ID
If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer.
If that that doesn't help...
Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
See if you can access your account at iCloud.com -
Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?
That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it. -
need lightroom 4.4 asmac is 10.6.8 and not compatible with anything higher. Does this come with the creative cloud? Would really like a disc but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. Currently have cs4 and d7100 hence need 4.4 to open raw Any ideas? Is this now customer service or does adobe have a customer service team . Site not user friendly. Thanks

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive? -
I have an iPhone and new iPad. Epost mail will not open on my devices. Epost says Safari is not compatible with epost. Please address this issue. It is most annoying.
Hello:
You need to contact "epost." The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

Went to use my contacts and they are all gone! Changed iCloud accounts on Saturday, performed a backup and then synced my music only on iTunes via a PC. How do I find out if my contacts were really stored on iCloud? If so, how do I get them back?
Log into icloud.com and then click on the Contacts icon. If the list is empty, then it's gone.
