An iMac G5 doesn't have an Intel processor. It has a PowerPC. It can be upgraded to OS X 10.5 if you are able to find an install DVD for it.

No. 10.5 is not a download item. You must purchase the DVD.

Not positive here, but if your iPhone is using iOS 6, I think you need iTunes 10.7, which isn't available for Mac OS 10.5.

My new iPhone 5 isn't compatible with my iMac G5, fortunately I have a MacBookPro that is compatible.

Sorry.

Good luck.
