![]() This was not explained to them in any way shape or form when they purchased the phone. Selena, it seems like at best, a pretty major oversight, or at worst a cynical method of extracting more cash from the faithful mac following… I have friends who have also had to spend a further £130 on upgrading to snow leopard. Marco, you just mangaged to come across unhelpful and smug in the same sentence, congratulations! Keep it up! A few hundred on a new phone is in more peoples reach than a couple grand on a new laptop. In other words, you can take your friends songs and have them on your phone, but you cant put them on your Mac, still learning that feature! You can upload your contacts on there, you can manually transfer songs from any computer without a problem of contacts of other sync related info. I hope to find more information and provide it, once I have tested and tried it.Īlso, get mobile me, for iPhone users. I only had one since May and learned a great deal from my experiences with PC. I hope this helps other to think and read more about the things they can do. I know there will be limitations, but there are always file upgrades all over the internet for this. Mac uses the same hardware as PC, just a programming difference. If the RAM slots are compatible, then you can possible upgrade to twice the capacity of the original parts. By updating the firmware, this will tell the bios that, there is an added feature, hardware and so on. The programming limits the computers on what hardware you can install. In the past, when you updated the bios, it would allow to upgrade the memory. I hope I dont get wet! But, I know with PC (yes I have a MacBook Pro I5), you can update the bios and other firmware. I’m going to piss in the wind on this one. I undoubtedly will fuss this to O2 and Apple as if the hike in vat and petrol isn’t bad enough for us poor hardworking people. So I hope all those potential buyers of the new iphone 4 to take care and consideration first to save yourself some money and hassle. So maybe Bill Gates is laughing at us now and Steve Jobs oops once again has not thought of it properly again! ![]() The cheek that the technicians told me to use a PC which will download itunes 10.1 for free without the hassle of needing wasting £122 extra seems a real blow to us Apple loyal users the other problem would be the hassle of transferring all the apps ,songs, videos, etc from MAc to PC if this is even possible. Technically since the phone is not working it is faulty gadget and must be returned and refunded. O2 will arguably blame apple for the ridiculous con price and apple will blame O2 sales team being not trained properly. The silly sales team should have and obliged to firstly advise people to check first with applestore or technicians prior to this. Hi I too am absolutely disgusted and appalled from this problem I ordered an iphone 4 upgrade from 3gs I spent 2 hrs from various departments even to apple technicians they advised me that for £30 I can upgrade to snow leopard from tiger (10.4) currently using when I tried ordering online applestore I found out that it was not appropriate and I would have to buy the mac box package of £122! So the iphone cost £262 for 32 GB now becomes £384 not to mention another year tariff with O2. ![]() Shame on Apple for putting so many of us into this position. Our 10.4 iMac has been working like such a champ for the past 5-6 years. So yeah, not sure if we’re going to gamble and try upgrading from 10.4 directly to 10.6. Why should I have to pay anything extra to be able to run the latest iTunes and to update my iPhone? Have they become so greedy that they can’t allow a free upgrade to at least 10.5? It’s just ridiculous. It’s even more highly aggrivating that the latest iTunes runs on Windows but not 10.4! Seriously? And the fact that Apple is offering nothing to current 10.4 owners is just terrible customer relations. Kind of surprising that someone at Apple would tell us to break the EULA, because then what happens if it doesn’t install properly? Then we’re just poop out of luck? But he also added that he didn’t see any specs on our iMac (one of the first Intel releases from back in like 2005) that would indicate if it would work or not. The guy was just like, “Yeah, Apple isn’t doing anything for people in this situation.” He then suggested installing 10.6 from the $29 Snow Leopard upgrade disc. I called Apple customer support this morning about this issue of OS 10.4 and needing 10.6 to run the latest iTunes so that you can update your iPhone to the latest OS of that. ![]()
