Q: Sync and upgrade issues
Hi,
I have an iMac 8,1 intel core 2 Duo:
1 processor: 2.8Ghz
no. of cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 Ghz
approx 300GB HD
It is fully updated Leopard 10.5.8 and Itunes is at 10.6.3 and says there are no more updates. However, when I try to sync my 4S (IOS 7.1.1), it says it requires iTunes 11.1. When I go to itunes.com to download it the itunes available is 12.3.1, which requires iMac IOS 10.8.5 or later.
My questions are
1.) Is there a way I can download Itunes 11.1 without the 12.3.1?
2.) to what IOS does my imac stats allow me to update to?
3.) How much do these cost/where can I get them, I assume upgrade to Snow leopard is cheaper now its been a long time?
4.) Do i need to backup the computer when updated - is there a risk it could lose data?
5.) The more IOS levels I update, will it slow the computer down?
6.) What is the best order to update imac / itunes /phone?
7.) I also have issues with Safari, where it crashes quite a lot, could this be due to the outdated systems?
Thanks!
