Will iOS 7.0.3 now sync on a PowerPC?

After adhering to Apple prompt to upgrade my iPhone via iTunes on my PowerPC laptop to iOS 7.0.2, I was shocked to find that it will no longer sync with that very same version of iTunes...! I am thus stuck with an orphaned iPhone and whatever I loaded onto it previously with 6.1.3.
Now I see another red (1) alert on the iPhone, prompting me to install a newer version 7.0.3. Has Apple rendered this update compatible with my version of iTunes? I no longer trust such update prompts, and will not install it without knowing ahead of time if it will correct the incompatibility with my hardware and software that the previous update caused.

Yes, I AM now stuck with an orphaned phone. Apple should have never prompted me to upgrade the iPhone to iOS 7, let alone allowed me to do so via my version of iTunes without so much as a warning, if that very same version will no longer sync with it. They do not do that with my iPods. Nor with my Airport or other external devices. Nor with any of their other software.
Yes, my PowerBook is "old," and I wish I could afford to buy a new machine, plus all the numerous software upgrades I would need to run on the newer system. However, I find it less than helpful --if not calloused-- to simply tell a user it's "time to upgrade" just to be able to continue to sync a cell phone that worked perfectly fine up to that point...!

I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos.

I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.

You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

Do we need to keep IOS apps in iTunes if we now sync to the cloud

If all of our apps are now stored in iCloud is it still necessary to maintain them in our iTunes account on our macs, I have an air with limited HD space and with over 250 apps it takes up quite a chunk of space. If we can get updates to our apps in the mobile app and all our purchases are stored in iTunes storewhere they can be downloaded, it should be safe to delete the apps but I dread having to redownload if Im wrong. Further more will turning off the sync feature in itunes app section cause the apps on my phone to be erased? Am I missing something?
thx

First, it's always been okay to delete apps from your phone because you can download then again at no additional cost, assuming they are still in the store. You can re-download to your phone, or to iTunes and sync them with your device.
With iOS 5 and iCloud, you don’t have to sync your device with iTunes at all. Interestingly, you can still use the device while syncing is occurring, whereas before it would interrupt syncing.
Both iTunes on the computer and the Store settings on the devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) have a setting for “Automatic Downloads”. With that on, your devices will automatically download anything purchased in iTunes on your computer, and iTunes on your computer will automatically download anything purchased on your devices. You can turn it off in iTunes on your computer if you don’t want to download new purchases to your computer with very little hard drive space. If you have only one device, and won’t be using iTunes on your computer to make purchases, then there’s really no point in turning on “Automatic Downloads” on your solitary device. The “Automatic Downloads” setting only affects the device where it is activated, so setting it on your iPhone won’t affect your computer, and setting if for your computer won’t affect your iPad, and so forth.
Keep in mind that not everything that is in the iTunes Store will stay there forever. Some items do get removed from the store for various reasons, such as an artist, developer, or studio changing their mind about selling it there, and so you won’t be able to download them again if that happens. If you don’t want them on your computer, ideally you would save copies to an external hard drive, at the very least.
That’s the obligatory warning about backing up, which iTunes always warns you in the EULA and elsewhere.
If you delete anything out of your iTunes library, but still want it on your devices, then you will pretty much have to not sync with iTunes ever again. Otherwise, iTunes will try to match everything on your computer (or whatever is selected for that device) with what’s on the device, and vice versa.
With iOS 5 and iCloud, not syncing with iTunes becomes a much more sane option than it was before. This does not remove your responsibility for backing up what you have purchased. If you don’t want it on your computer, you should figure out where else to keep your own personal backup. Again, an artist, or developer, or studio, or whoever created whatever you purchased may change their mind and decide to have the item removed from the store. If that happens, you won’t be able to download it again. This has happened many times already; it’s not often, but it does happen.
If you sync your device with iTunes, you’ll get a dialog asking whether you’d like to transfer the purchased items found on your device to iTunes. If you decline to transfer them to iTunes, then the purchased items on your device will be deleted. If you do that, then you’d have to re-download them again, which you’d likely do directly from your device and that would likely take forever if you did every single time.
In short:
Yes, you can delete the apps and any other purchases from iTunes.
Be sure to use iCloud on your devices, and turn on iCloud's backup option so it'll save your apps data.
Then, do not sync your devices with iTunes ever again.
Also, do not depend on your purchases remaining in the iTunes Store forever.
Keep your own personal backup of all your purchases, just in case they are removed from the store (by the content creator’s request, Apple’s reasons, earthquake, apocalypse, etc.) This will require:
downloading new purchases to iTunes;
choose File > Show in Finder;
copy it to an external hard drive;
then you go back to iTunes and delete it in iTunes (not the Finder) so iTunes will know and keep your library clean.
Hmm, so much for "short".

I downloaded the iOs 7, then went to sync it with my computer but it said I needed to update my iTunes, so I went to download it and it said I needed a newer version? 10.6 or something? And so now I can't sync my phone... Any suggestions?

I downloaded the iOs 7, after went to sync it with my computer but it said I needed to update my iTunes, so I went to download the 11.1 and it said I needed a newer version? 10.6 (or something like that)
And so now I can't sync my phone...
Any suggestions? Besides throwing my computer out!! haha
My macbook is older.. bought in.. 2009. So I realize things may not work exactly the same.

   Yeah really!
   One thing depends upon the other then nothing works or is no longer compatible.
   I don't blame ya for wantin' to throw your computer out! Ha-Ha!

IPod Touch 4G upgrade to iOS 5 went badly, now won't sync.

iPod Touch 4G upgrade to iOS 5 went badly - backup corrupted. Reset iPod and installed as new device in iTunes 10.5 but would not sync. After many attempts and another reset, it has now synced apps, contacts, and movies but only immediately after a reboot of the iPod. Music won't sync at all. Sync fails silently with no error message or on subsequent attempts reports that sync failed to start.

Did you try to connect to your computer in recovery mode, set your device aup again "as new" and start all over?

I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
Thanks
Joe

It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.

With itunes match live on my iOS devices, can I now remove all local music files from my PC to free up space? There's no need to keep it if it will always be in the cloud. Right?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
