    I have the same problem. You do have to have the OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If you have a Macbook 2008 edition and later and 1 gig of memory on your macbook, you can purchase Snow Leopard for $20. I just had to do the same thing to allow itunes 10.7 to download, so i can sync my iphone 5. After you update to Snow Leopard, if you have 2 gig of memory, you can purchase Lion for another $20 and it will work better with your iphone 5. Unfortunatly, I did not have 2 gig of memory,but snow leopard works just fine!

  • To install iTunes 10.7 or 11 (and I recommend 11), you need OS X 10.6.8.

    To upgrade to 10.6.8 you need an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM and 5GB of disk space and a DVD drive.
