I have an older computer running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, early 2008. I recently purchased an iPhone SE 2020. I cannot use iTunes to get my music on my phone without updating the OS. My computer tells me no update is available. When I try to update other OS it says I can't. I don't know what else to do, it's very frustrating. Please help!!
The App Store Updates page only informs you of updates available for the OS you are currently running.
As you are running an older system then you are probably up to date on that system.
If you want to install a newer OS that is called an Upgrade.
The model and year of your Mac will determine which macOS you can upgrade to,
please use Safari to access the following link,
How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support
Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.
Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.
Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.
Connect your mac to your router via cable rather than rely on WiFi.
Do not use your mac while it is downloading
and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.
Hello,
While you can still upgrade your iMac to macOS 10.11 El Capitan, it still is not sufficient enough to synchronize an iPhone running iOS 13.
Hello,
I am sorry, you will not be able to synchronize this iPhone with this Macintosh.
Can I update my iMac OS at all or Is it at its max?
I appreciate all your help. Do you know of any other way I can get my music on to my new phone? I have the iMac and an iPhone 6s.
thank you
Updating OS
