IPhone :: Can Upgrade 3gs IOS Without Upgrading My Macbook OS X
Jun 27, 2012
I was trying to download an iPhone app recently and was not able to as my iPhone does not have the most recent software. It is currently at 4.1 on a 3GS. I connected it to my Macbook, which is quite old and running OS X Tiger, and it said I cannot upgrade the iPhone software due to my version of iTunes. I cannot update iTunes due to it being on Tiger.
what my options are for upgrading? Do I need to install Leopard then Lion (and will this even be possible with my Macbook?) Or is it possible to update the iPhone elsewhere? e.g. on my PC at work with a more recent version of iTunes. Or will this mean I can no longer use it with the iTunes I have on my Macbook?
After attempting to upgrade software for my iphone 4s via itunes, the upgrade failed and my phone froze with a picture of an usb plug.I even uninstalled security on my computer.
Can I use someone else's upgrade? Yes, this is called an "upgrade swap". AT&T will allow you to upgrade any line to receive a new phone. You can then activate that phone on any phone line you like. Apple is able to do this in store also, but it requires a bit more time since they have to call AT&T first. If you pre-order and recieve the phone by mail, you will need to contact AT&T to let them know that you will be activating the phone on another line."
My current situation: I am on a family plan with a total of two lines. My line is not eligible until 7/23, so all I can get is "early upgrade pricing". My mom's line is currently eligible for "full upgrade pricing". I am planning on using my mom's upgrade to get an iPhone 4. I want to preorder the phone from Apple.com on the 15th, and hopefully receive it the afternoon of the 24th. From my understanding, the microSIM that ships with the phone will be programmed for the line whose upgrade was used. However, the iPhone Upgrade Guide makes it sound like I can call AT&T once I receive the phone (and before I activate it), and have AT&T switch the microSIM from my mom's line to mine. Is this possible?
Im having trouble using facetime between my IPhone4 and my macbook... When I call from my macbook to my IPhone 4, the call goes through but never connects... (iphone display), while on my mac, the call keeps ringing.On the other hand... when I call from my IPhone4 to my mac... the call drops and displays a message (user busy / not available for facetime). When I use fecetime from my IPhone 4 to call friends either to there IPads, IPhones and mac´s, the call goes through with out a problem... the same thing using my mac... Could it be the im trying to use the same user ID between my IPhone and mac?, I have my IPhone for facetime under my cel number, and my mac under my email. (Different User ID)... Why cant I get to work it...

Usually advice relating to updates on either my iPhone or my iTunes. This time though, both are updated. Have checked several times. When I open itunes, which is working fine, currently talking to my Apple TV and playing tunes, showing photos etc etc, but in the devices section there is nothing...?
I was using my Iphone 4s with Windows PC and thus have all my apps backup on windows pc, now i have bought a macbook pro the process of getting all the apps from my windows based system to macbook?
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3),Macbook pro 13" (Late 2011 model)
I just purchased the new iphone 4s a few weeks ago, and haven't been able to get my Macbook Pro to detact it when I plug the phone into my computer. I've tried multiple usb-to-iphone cords and none of them are working. Neither the computer nor itunes are detecting that a device is plugged in at all.
I've maxed out my photos/videos storage on my phone and have no way to move them from my phone to my computer. I tried communicating to my phone from laptop via bluetooth, but it won't work either (though computer detects phone and vice-versa, the connection isn't successful in the end)
I really want to be able to connect my iphone via usb
My MacBook Pro is OS X Version 10.6.8
Is there a requirement for my macbook to upgrade to another system before it will read my iphone 4? That sounds like a racket to me.
I recently downloaded the app, "Priorities", and love it on my iPhone. However, it won't load onto my MacBook Pro and I would love to have it sync from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro.
My MacBook Air cannot Blutooth fully with my iPhone. It connects saying phone is paired but cannot do anything with it because "services not available"
I recently purchasd a used Macbook pro and tried to sync my iphone. It does not show up in itunes. How do I get it to show up in itunes so I can sync it?
I recently pruchased my first MAC, a Macbook pro. I hooked up my iphone to sync all the music i have on it and the only thing that will transfer is some of my "purchased" songs. Thats about 150 of 650 songs. I have tried selecting "sync all music automatically" but it tells me by doing this i will replace my iphone library with the computer library meaning i will lose on 500 songs. I had a Dell PC before this and never had trouble. It crashed so i am unable to access itunes from that computer.
We use a macbook pro to sync 4 iphones. How can I find where the backups are located for the contacts on each phone? I cannot locate backup files for the Iphones.
