Yes, to synch an iPhone 5 you need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 whiuch also enables you to update iTunes to the latest version.


Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:


Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

and in the UK:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
