Updating Mac Software for new Iphone 5C?
My iMac is currently operating using OS X 10.5.8. I have checked multiple times for a software update, but it keeps telling me that there's not an update available. I just got the new iPhone 5C today and have not been able to put everything back on my phone from my backup because I don't have the current iTunes update. I have to have at least OS X 10.6.8 to install the updated itunes. As far as I can see, I have to purchase the Snow Leopard software for $19.99 in order to do this. Does anyone know if I can download for free? Trying to get around paying for the update if I can.
Your iMac is probably outdated. Get a newer version!
- Would updating the software on my iPhone (4s) delete everything off it? So I just got a notification to my phone that said new software update. I clicked close because I didn't know wheather it would delete everything off my phone. But if I do update my software, will everything be deleted off of it?
- Will updating my iPhone software use more space? I currently run on 7.0.4 and I could be running 8.4. I missed a few updates because I only use my phone for music. I have every megabyte devoted to music and I don't really see the point in downloading more software if it is going to take up valuable space on my phone. Would updating my software actually use more space, or would the new updates cause the software to become more compact? Some people tell me that the new software is significantly smaller but I seriously doubt it.
- Will updating my iPhone's software delete purchased apps and songs? I'm going to update my iPhone's 6.1.4 software to ios 7 when it is released in a few days. Some of my apps aren't available in the App Store anymore so will the update delete these apps off my phone?
- Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
