I can't activate iPhone 5, because... Help!

I am trying to activate my iPhone 5. It tells me I need to update iTunes to 7 so I downloaded it but now it tells me I have to update my software to 10.6.8 or higher (10.5.8 now). When I check for updates it says I am up to date! Help!!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You can "try" this:

I can't guarantee it will work, but iTunes 10.6.3 was released for developers to beta test iOS 6.0. Give it a shot, & see what happens. If it doesn't work, you have no choice but to update your computer. SL is no longer sold in Apple stores or online, you'll have to call Apple sales to get a copy. Cost is US $19.


Good luck.
