Will the iPhone 5 work with my MacBook?

I'm starting to get quite irritated by Apple. Been on hold for 45 minutes to talk to someone, so I'm posting on here.
I would really love to buy the new iPhone 5. I love Apple products and have been an avid supporter since 2007 when I bought my MacBook. My question is, I still own my Macbook. Its 2007 and it DOES have Snow Leopard on it.
Basically, what I'm wondering is, if I get the new iPhone 5 is there ANY way for me to move my music to it and transfer my photos and such. I don't really care if it syncs (as it looks like I don't really have the option to use iCloud...)
Any help or information would be helpful! Thank you,
Taylor

Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Will the iPhone 5 work with existing USB car chargers?

    Just curious (and maybe stupid).

    "4G" is a marketing term, not a technical term.
    The iPhone 5 can operate on any compatible HSPA+ network anywhere in the world. HSPA+ is defined by the ITU as "4G" and is marketed as such by many carriers. The only iPhones I'm aware of that display "4G" in the status bar are those originally intended for AT&T in the U.S.
    LTE is also defined as "4G" and is marketed as such by pretty much every carrier that has an LTE network. When connected to an LTE network, "LTE" should appear in the status bar.
    The frequencies used for LTE networks vary from region to region across the globe. In order to use an available LTE network, the phone you're using must have been sold to work in your region.
    Apple doesn't have to "enable" anything for it to work. All you need is a phone that's compatible with your network, and a plan that allows for LTE data.
    If you purchased the phone from another region, the U.S. for example, it will NOT work on the LTE netwok in your part of the world.

  • Will the iphone 5 work with the 4G network in Belgium?

    I am very happy with the iPhone 5, love it, but today the Belgian Operator made the 4G network available in some major cities,
    but it seems Apple has to "enable" the 4G capabilities for the iPhones in Belgium...
    I bought mine directly through the Apple store.  I wonder will it work with the 4G network here ? Anyone using it in 4G mode here in Belgium?
    Also if someone at Apple reads this (I hope they do) Siri in Dutch would be super!!! I love Siri but now I have to talk very strange to make
    Dutch names understandable for Siri :-)
    kind regards to all

  • Will the new chargers work with my MacBook Pro?

    I got my MacBook Pro in December 2007 and yesterday the charger broke. The cord that connects to the magnetic piece ripped off completely.
    My question is, will the new chargers apple currently sells work with my late 2007 MacBook Pro?

    Yes, see the attached article.  Near the bottom is this quote:
    Note: Although the replacement adapter may not have the same connector shape ("T" or "L") or wattage as the original adapter that came with your computer, newer adapters should power and charge your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air just like the adapter that originally came with your computer.

  • Will the Cinema Display work with an older MacBook Air?

    My wife has an older MacBook Air (circa late 2009) with one USB 2.0 port and one Mini Display port. Will the Cinema display work with this model Air?

    It looks to me like the cinema display is a DVI connection.  If  you have a MiniDisplay port to DVI adapter that connected the MBpro to the display then you have everything you need.  (plus a DVI cable).   The MDP adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port of the MBair.

  • Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

    Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all? 
    Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
    I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
    E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
    "When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run." 
     "It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
     "It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .." 
    E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
    "Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
    So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
    So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks 

    It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.

  • My Imac late 2012 running Yosemite does not recognise my Huawei 3g usb modem. itried to install Java bt still it does not although the same modem works with my MacBook pro . any help please

    My Imac late 2012 running Yosemite does not recognise my Huawei 3g usb modem. itried to install Java bt still it does not although the same modem works with my MacBook pro . any help please

    Hey there mbarikiwa,
    If your iMac still has not recognized the usb modem, I would use the troubleshooting for Yosemite USB issues in the following article:
    OS X Yosemite: If a USB device isn’t working
    If the device is connected to a USB hub: 
    Make sure the device and the hub are the same speed. Connect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed HUB, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub, and so on. 
    If the device doesn’t have a power cord and is plugged into another USB device that doesn’t have a power cord: 
    Try plugging the device directly into your computer’s USB port  or into a USB device that does have a power cord. You might need to disconnect and reconnect the other device as well, if it has stopped responding. 
    If you have many devices connected to your Mac: 
    Disconnect all USB devices except the device you’re testing, an Apple keyboard, and an Apple mouse. Make sure that the device is connected directly to the computer, and that any hubs or extension cables are disconnected. If you can use the device now, the problem may be with one of the other USB devices or hubs you had connected to your computer. Try reconnecting them, one by one, to your computer. When you find the device causing the problem, review its documentation for further troubleshooting steps. 
    Verify that the device appears in System Information: 
    Choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In the window that appears, click Overview, then click the System Report button to open System Information. 
    In the window that appears, see if the USB device is listed below Hardware in the Contents list. If the device appears but does not work, review the device’s documentation for further troubleshooting steps. 
    Restart apps: 
    Quit and restart any apps that use the device. 
    Restart your Mac: 
    Choose Apple menu > Restart.
    Check your device’s USB connection
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Will any external hardrive work with my macbook?

    I was wondering if any plug and play hardrive will work with my MacBook? I heard that it needs to be in FAT32 not NTFS. If its in NTFS how do convert it to FAT32?

    Pretty much any drive will work as USB and FW are industry standards and not particular to any one platform. I would still seek out a good quality drive and enclosure that features the Oxford 911 or other Oxford chipset for mazimum reliability.
    FAT32 is a file format that Macs and PCs have in common and they both can read and write to FAT32 drives. NTFS can be read by Macs, but nt written to. If you plan on using a drive between Macs and PCs and the files on that drive will not be larger than 4GB, then you should choose FAT32. If you will be using this drive only with Macs, then use the HFS+ format.

  • Will the Intel SSD work with my particular computer

    I am considering installing an Intel® - OEM X25-M Mainstream 80GB Internal Serial ATA II Solid State Hard Drive in my MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz Intel Duo Core computer (late 2007 model) and I am wondering if it will be compatible and if anyone has had any experience with installing an SSD in an earlier MacBook Pro. Current hard drive is a Hitachi 160GB 5400 rpm drive with less than 1/4 of capacity used. I tried Google and I have gotten conflicting info. I am wondering if there is any issues with the above mentioned drive with older MacBook pros.

    I believe it should work fine.

  • Will the Airport Express work with the iPhone minus a PC/mac? If so how??

    I no longer have my mac mini but have a new PC. I also have a 2nd gen iphone with the 3.0 software. I just bought a airport express and thought I could, via bluetooth, use my iphone in leau of a computer to control my itunes thru the living room stereo system. In other words, use my iphone as both the itunes library and the controller for the living room setup. Can this work? Or do I have to still run it thru my PC? Someone with expierence with this please help!! My email address is [email protected] thanks, Bill.

    I just bought a airport express and thought I could, via bluetooth, use my iphone in leau of a computer to control my itunes thru the living room stereo system.
    No that is not possible. The iPhone connects to the AirPort Express (AX) via 802.11b/g not Bluetooth.
    In other words, use my iphone as both the itunes library and the controller for the living room setup. Can this work?
    No. There is no way to stream music wirelessly from the iPhone to the AX.
    Or do I have to still run it thru my PC?
    Yes

  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.
