OS X Mountain Lion and the IPhone 5?

Do I need OS X mountain lion installed on our mac before we can sync our iphone 5 with iTunes? Everytime we plug it in it says we need to upgrade, but our itunes says it is updated to 10.6.3 and is up to date.

YOu don't need that. It is probably other issue.

You need iTunes 7 to connect to the iPhone 5.To use iTunes 7 you need Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or higher.

  • Update to OSX Mountain Lion? Hi! So I got my hands on an iPhone 5 recently and I wanted to back it up and add songs so I plugged it into my Mac. Then it said that my iTunes version was too old and to update, i need to update the OSX since I'm currently running on 10.5.8. I'm considering buying Mountain Lion but will it DELETE MY FILES? Read some stuff online about "backing it up"? How do you do that exactly, without iCloud?
  • My OS X mountain lion Was drop. Is my Mac ruined? I accidentally drop my Mac laptop… I'm afraid of opening it… Maybe it does not function… I'm new here in Canada and don't know we're the apple store here… I'm just using my cousin iPhone 5 because he doesn't have a Mac. My mother will scold me if my Mac is broken or else she will not buy me iPad. So please tell me what to do. I want iPad…
  • Mountain Lion messaging app? I bought the OS X Mountain Lion software for my Macbook today and I was wondering if you could even use your own Iphone number to replace your e-mail to send messages to other Apple devices because I prefer using my Iphone number to text my friends on the messaging app on Mountain Lion.
