I've old iMac OS X Safari 4.1.3 iTunes 9. I use an iPhone 6 & iPad mini. However, I can't sync my harddrive iTunes music library and cannot download iTunes to enable me to use iTunes Match. What steps can I take to get me to this point? Or is the iMac just too old? Thanks, Ali
iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's too old.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, clickhere, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

No way to know, as you have not told us what model of iMac you have.
Go into the Apple Menu, click on About this Mac. Post back with the model info you find there, and we can tell you whether you can install something newer.
Thanks so much - this has helped.
iMac - too old to upgrade software?
