My iPhone 3GS finally died a week or two ago, and I went out and got a new contract with a 5c. Great. But I've just tried to connect it to the laptop, to try and restore it from a backup of the 3GS, and it won't link up with iTunes - says it needs 11.1. Problem is that 11.1 won't run on my MacBook, which is probably 6 years old and running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
What are my options? The latest OS won't run on my machine, will it? And it's pricey anyway. So am I now having to buy a new laptop to get tunes onto my phone? That kinda sucks.
In all honesty, all of my contacts and pictures are fine because they backup into the cloud, but I need to connect to the laptop to get music and videos.
