Mac OS X
Syncing an iPhone 4S with a Mac requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 if the device is running iOS 5 or 6 and Mac OS X 10.6.8 if it's using iOS 7.
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further OS upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5 and the iOS device is running an OS version prior to 7.0, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
Back up your data before upgrading.
