Is the iPhone 5 compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.8?

I have a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8, wondering if the iPhone 5 is compatible to sync with itunes10.6.8, because I tried to open .dmg 10.7 itunes says I need os 10.6 or higher to open the file , whats the deal, because it would suck to get my iphone 5 on release day and not be able to sync my media.

I haven't investgated, nor have an iPhone, but I doubt it, Apple likes to leave old things behind.


Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...


General requirements

* Mac computer with an Intel processor

* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)

* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

* DVD drive for installation

* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.


Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!


Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE


You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8

Doesn't look like it...


Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:

  • Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
  • PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
  • iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
