IBook Syncing with iPhone

My daughter has a iBook 4 with OS 10.4.11.  We are unable to sync her new iPhone G3 with iTunes 9.0.  It says it requires iTunes 9.2 and it seems we are not able to update her ITunes any further.  What can we do so her iPhone will work with her iBook4?
Thank you!

Which specific iBook G4 does she have?
You can choose from this list:

From Wikipedia:
Apple provides free updates to the OS for the iPhone through iTunes,[120] and major updates have historically accompanied new models.[124]Such updates often require a newer version of iTunes — for example, the 3.0 update requires iTunes 8.2 — but the iTunes system requirements have stayed the same. Updates include both security patches and new features.[125] For example, iPhone 3G users initially experienced dropped calls until an update was issued.[126][127]
Version 3.1 required iTunes 9.0, and iOS 4 required iTunes 9.2. iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync and activate iOS 5, the current version of iTunes, Requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or Leopard on G4 or G5 computers on 800 MHz or higher; versions 10.3 and 10.4 and 10.5–10.5.7 are no longer supported.
I have attempted to figure out which version of the OS will allow an iPhone 3G to sync with an iBook, but have not been successful.
Perhaps posting your question in the iPhone Discussions area will give you better results.

  • IBook sync with iphone 5 and iPad Air

    Purchased some books and they are downloaded and available to read on my iPhone 5 via iBooks.
    But on my iPad Air they are shown as downloaded but when I tap to open the book the book description and other info
    comes up in a window but the book does not open. It is just not with this book but all four.
    Also I don't understand about 'syncing". Can this be done without going into iTunes and using a USB?
    If I need to sync these two devices how do I do this in layman terms? Both devices have the latest
    software update version of 8.1.3
    Thank You

    That sounds like you are looking at the Purchased tab in the iBooks app, that is part of the store and allows you to redownload books (if a book is only in the cloud then it will have the cloud icon against it instead of 'downloaded', tap on the cloud to download it) and/or look at their store description pages.
    To read the books that show as 'downloaded' on that Purchased tab, tap the 'My Books' tab at the bottom left of the iBooks screen to go back to your bookshelf and you should see those books - tap on a book to open it. If you can't see your downloaded books on the bookshelf then tap the collection name at the top middle of the bookshelf and select 'All' or 'Books' collection instead.

  • Request iBooks sync with iCloud account not iTunes accounts

    In my family there are five of us. We all have some form of an Apples product (iTouch, iPads, iPhones). We share the same iTunes account but have individual iCloud accounts. The issue we have with ibooks is the syncing. Having iBooks sync with iCloud account instead of the iTunes account will solve some of the issues that we are having. me and my wife both have iPhones and iPads, the kids have iTouches and iPad. Unfortunately when one individual change something it will change on the rest of the devices.

    That seems simple enough but that's not what I am trying to accomplish.
    Here is the breakdown...
    I have a family of four.
    We all have iPad, iPhone and a MacBook or iMac.
    Like to read the same books (from time to time). We also like to take our own notes.
    The issue...
    Syncing bookmarks and collections and notes between each member of the family personal devices.
    This is why I made this post to request for apple/developers to have iBooks sync with iCloud accounts instead of iTunes accounts.
    I have tried every avenue that I can think of to make this request for change since iBooks syncing has been released.

  • IBooks sync with iCloud

    I would like for iBooks sync with iCloud account instead of the iTunes account for bookmarks.  I have a family of five with iPads, iPhones, iMacs and MacBooks, etc.  We have on one main iTunes account the we share and individual iCloud accounts for each of us.  We all read the same books generally at the same time.  It's always a pain when making personal notes and bookmarks because it sync across all devices. So we have to disable this feature.  I would like to be able to sync my notes with my iPad with my iPhone.

    This is the developer forum, for those who develop third party apps.  You need to post in the iBooks forum to get a better response.

  • Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g

    Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g.
    Solution
    Create backup of your entire mailbox before starting (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
    Create offline folder (.pst file) Check windows help on how to do this for your version.
    Open folders view on Outlook
    Right click on Calendar in tree view and 'copy to' offline .pst folder
    Go back to main calendar view and delete all entries in your calendar.
    Create simple cal entry and sync test with iphone
    If this works then start dragging cal entries back from the offline folder into the main calendar then sync after each step....
    I moved events in this order
    -Yearly recurrences (ie Birthdays)
    - Monthly recurrences
    - weekly recurrences
    - Daily recurrences
    All appointments from the beginning of this year >> to the end of time!
    If all these sync then the issue is with an older cal item and you have to decide if you actually need these in you current calendar.
    I chose to leave these in the offline cal and if i need access them from there.
    If at any point the sync fails then you know you have a corrupt cal entry in the block you just transferred. Move the offending items back into the offline folder and try again in smaller chunks until you identify the offending items and delete them and manually recreate them in your real calendar.
    Also smart to run the inbox (.pst /.ost ) repair tools for your OS/Outlook version.
    Fixed so far
    XP Pro / Outlook 2008
    XP Pro /Outlook 2003

    I just updated the firmware to iPhone 2.0.1 and the syncing works great both ways.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • ITunes can't see Aperture album photos to sync with iPhone??

    I had to export my Aperture library to downgrade from version 3.2 to 3.1.3 due to all the bugs in 3.2.  Since that time, though there are photos in my albums that I can see, edit, etc these pics are not showing up on the Photos screen of the Sync prefs when my iPhone 4 is plugged in.  The albums themselves all show up when I select to sync with Aperture but it shows "0" photos in every album despite the fact that all the albums have photos in them.  I have repaired permissions on Aperture library, on the computer, upgraded to iTunes 10.5, restarted the computer.  I'm guessing there was a preference file that might have linked the old Aperture library (no longer in the "Pictures" folder) to iTunes photo syncing with iPhone.  New Aperture Library has same name and location as the old one but iTunes just isn't seeing these photos.  Any suggestions on fixing?

    I made a duplicate copy of a picture and did some editing of it.  I added sepia tone, etc.  When I go to Shutterfly to upload the edited picture, I can't find it.  I see the original, but not the edited duplicate.  I shut down the computer last night and let it update and checked it again this morning, but still can't find the edited picture.  I know it is "in there" somewhere, because when I open Aperture 3, I can see the edited pic.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • After reinstallation of Outlook 2010 on my Laptop, Contacts and Calendar did not appeared while they are exist in my iphone 5 by using icloud. What I should do to get Contacts and Calendars in sync with iphone 5? Thank you.

    Thank you.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard.  Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as an upgrade so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

    Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard.  Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

    To expand on Niels post...
    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

    Hi Brett, thank you for answering!
    I believe I have it set up to sync with iTunes, because for the first time today I plugged in my iPhone to my Macbook Pro and iTunes and iPhoto started up... I then saw "syncing with iPhone" on top of iTunes.
    Is there a setting I need to configure (on either my iPhone or the programs themselves) to have it sync with my address book and calendar?

  • Outlook Calendar stopped syncing with iPhone Calendar

    I deleted a recurrent event on my iPhone and this action appears to have confused the sync capability between my iPhone and MS Outlook Calendar.
    Outlook still tries to find the recurrent event on start-up even though it is not shown in Outlook Calendar.
    More concerning is that new events and changes in Outlook Calendar are no longer syncing with iPhone Calendar. The time to complete the Calendar sync activity is noticeably longer than any of the other sync actions, which suggests that there is a problem.
    I have been through the restore routine in iTunes and also attempted to replace all the Outlook Calendar data on the iPhone using the Advanced facility on the iTunes Info tab.
    I appreciate that this may be an Outlook issue but are there any other things that I can try to restore the sync capability between the 2 Calendars.
    All other sync functions appear to work ok - I have created and deleted Contact data from both Outlook and iPhone and this works fine.
    Grateful for any help!

    I'm not sure if this will work for you. It seems every time I research a problem, everyone has a different solution that doesn't work for everyone. (I just spent an hour and a half searching for a solution in various forums.) But this one just worked for me.
    I went into iTunes, into the Devices page for my iPhone, then to the Info tab. I unchecked Sync Calendars with Outlook. A pop-up appeared saying, I believe (I didn't write it down) "Do you want to delete previously synced calendars on the iPhone" - or words to that effect. Since I hadn't entered anything directly into the iPhone calendar in a while, I clicked Okay. Then I clicked on Apply (lower right corner of iTunes). The iPhone synced, and all appointments disappeared from the iPhone calendar. I then rechecked Sync Calendars with Outlook, clicked Apply, and the iPhone synced once again - and all my Outlook calendar appointments appeared on the iPhone.
    This was, I admit, after having deinstalled all Apple software from my PC and reinstalling it. That didn't work on its own (still couldn't sync calendars), but I don't know for sure whether it had something to do with the success of the de-sync / re-sync.
    Good luck. These solutions always seem to be hit-and-miss.

  • New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

    I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

    I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.
