So I tried activting my new iPhone 5s which I can only do through my itunes, but I still use iTunes 10. I can't install iTuness 11.1 (which is required for the new iphone) because my operating system is still a 10.5.8. I don't even know where to begin upgrading my OS X. I know I have to purchase the upgrade. But which system to I upgrade to? Thanks!!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Note: Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is compatible with iTunes version 11.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Thanks!! Will looks into this for sure. I feel like I should've updated my system YEARS ago.😮
I have to delete some stuff to make room for the upgrade, but thanks for the info!!! Should've done this a while ago. Looks like I still can't use my new phone though until the disk ships....
