Will auto syncing work with an iMac G5 and an iPhone 3gs?

So - like so many people, I have lots of questions about iCloud, iTunes 10.5, and all the rest of it. At the moment, I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my G5. I haven't yet upgraded to ios 5 because I'm somewhat wary of losing functionality and data. But -
If I do, will autosyncing work? I would really love to have any tunes, apps, etc that I buy on the phone show up automatically on my computer, and vice versa. But I have the strong impression that those of us who have older machines are being frozen out of a lot of functions. I don't know if you don't need full iCloud access for autosyncing. And I can't get iCloud on my iMac.
I hope my question is clear! If not, I'll try to clear it up. Basically, I want ios 5 because I want autosyncing. But, if autosyncing won't work for me, I don't know that I want to go through the trouble of upgrading my phone OS when everything is working ok as of now.

I found that the match function does work - I can download purchased songs to my phone with no trouble at all. So I'm happy!

  • Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

    Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
    Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
    Rebooting phone/laptop/router
    Disabling ipv6
    Disabling all networks except the one curently on
    Re-installing iTunes
    Restoring iPhone
    No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • If i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

    if i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

    They both seem to cover the same 3G bands - from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
    Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
    Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz);UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
    CDMA isn't any use here as there aren't any UK CDMA based carriers, they are all GSM/sim card based (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe). As the AT&T version appears to support an extra 4G LTE band then that might be the better one.

  • Will new iPods work with my iMac G3 DV?

    Hi,
    I want to buy one of the new iPods either the big baby or the Nano, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to whether it will work with my Mac.
    I have an iMac G3 DV 400mhz, which I believe has USB 1.
    Will it work with this as some are saying it might, although Apple say no.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hey!
    Ken,If you're buying a new Pod,Apple system requirements are Mac OS 10.3.9 or later.So if your OS isn't that upto date then I would say no.Also USB 1.0 isn't desirable.It would work but be incredibly slow in Mounting/Updating and so-on.USB 2.0 is the connection used on 1st/2nd gen Nano and 5th Gen iPod Video.Hope this is of some use.
    Cheers,
    John

  • My new iPhone 5 will not sync calendars with my iMac and iPad.

    Can someone please help me with this. I have ticked the sync calendars in the phone info tab. I tend to put appointments on both my iPhone and my iPad so I need all 3 talking to each other.

    So I've always sort of had this problem with syncing my calendar and I think I finally figured out why. It seems I have two Apple ID's. My iCloud email address is [email protected] This is one Apple ID. My iTunes account has always been my Gmail email address. This is another Apple ID. Since I never use my Apple email address, I never considered that to be my Apple ID. I always considered what I used to connect to iTunes my Apple ID. So when I set up any iPhone I've ever had - when asked for my Apple ID I always put in my gmail address and it worked just fine. The problem is nothing was ever syncing properly with the cloud. Tonight, on my iPhone, I went to Settings > iCloud and then scrolled down to the bottom and deleted the account (this was my personal account at Gmail) Then I added [email protected] as my Apple ID. I then made sure everything in iCloud was switched on on the iPhone and just like magic, I went back to my iCal on the phone and everything syncs perfectly. It was a simple issue of having two Apple ID's. Make sure the email address you're using for iCloud is the Apple ID you're setting your iPhone up with and everything should work properly. Nobody has ever been able to figure this out for me. I hope this will help someone who has been as frustrated as I have been for such a long time now.

  • Will iCloud syncing work with non-Intel Macs?

    My wife is using an older Mac. (Pre-Intel)
    She now has a new iPhone 5.
    I realize the new phone can not sync with the old version of iTunes that runs on her machine.
    But can the iCloud "see" her old Mac and sync contacts with it?
    (So far it doesnt seem to be working.)

    No.

  • Can I sync music with my iMac iTunes AND calendar+address book with my PC?

    I use my iMac at home and a PC in the office. I therefore store all my appointments and contacts in the Microsoft Outlook in my PC. I've already sync my new iPod Touch with my iMac at home and wonder whether I can plug it to the PC to sync just the Outlook appointments and contacts.

    After my previous post from work I came home and did a sync here but with contacts & appointments disabled and it worked. I now have seperate types of items sync'ed on different computers!
    I now plan to manage my music manually and rip some CDs on my much faster work computer and only 'sync' my Outlook info.
    Hope this is the answer for you!

  • Hi my apple tv is working with 2 lap tops and my iphone how do i get parnters phone to work to

    hi i have just purchased apple tv it works ok with my laptop, my iphone and another laptop with home sharing,
    but my partners iphone does not show the airplay icon on her phone.can anyone help???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Airplay isn't anything to do with homesharing. Providing both devices are on the same network AirPlay should work fine. Which iOS is the phone running, have you made sure it's on the same network or restarted it.

  • Calendar Will Not Sync Correctly with Exchange - Appointments come and go

    After 10 weeks of no issues, all of a sudden my calendar sync will not work. Mail and contacts work flawlessly. I am syncing to an exchange 2003 sp2 (my IT guys tell me) server. Supposedly nothing has changed on their end. I haven't changed any settings on the phone. (Added a couple ringtones the other night but can't believe that would have changed anything here.) I sync to itunes at home (win-doze xp/itunes 9), but don't sync any calendars via itunes. What's really weird is that the calendar appointments will disappear completely ... then about 2/3rds of them will pop in ... then disappear, etc. The "Genius Bar" doesn't have an answer other than to reset factory defaults so I came home to back up my camera roll first; not shot up about that "solution." Any help greatly appreciated - Paul.

    Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

  • Will photoshop elements work with Cut master print and cut software

    Has anyone used photoshop for heat transfer design?

    Hello again.
    I am quite new to the program myself but over the last few weeks editing one particular image I have found that this program will do practically anything I want.  I just persevere through each frustration and eventually figure it out.  I just wish it were easier to remember what I did to get the result...oh wait, there is a way for that too lol.
    I believe you will find it best to have your image on its own layer.
    As for the rulers,  check to see if it is turned on, I believe that choice would be under the tab at the top labeled VIEW?  Not in front of puter right now so not sure exactly.
    Also, you might want to check your settings for many of this type of feature in the PREFERENCES area.
    Please let us know your progress.  Good luck!

  • Sync problem with OS 3.0 and original iPhone

    Under iPhone OS 2.2.1, at the start of each Sync, the first 10 seconds was devoted to backing up my iPhone which has less than 2.2 GB on it. Now, under the 3.0 OS, it is taking almost 2 MINUTES to backup the same amount of data!
    Has anyone found a way to fix this and get the backup speed back to just a few seconds?

    After a week of syncing, the speed is faster. Not as fast as under 2.2.1 but faster than it was a week ago. Probably the speed hit is due to the extra overhead that 3.0 added.
    So I'm closing this question.

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.
