Soooo I can't put all my backed up data and apps into my 5S because my MacBook is outdated and can't download iTunes 11. Wtf. Everything is on my 4G!

Does anyone know if the black MacBook is compatible with the latest OS X?

It's more than 5GB. I need to look up prices for extra storage. I may have to do that because I don't want to buy a new laptop.

Does my music transfer to even though it wasn't bought through iTunes?

Poor iPhone 5C. The flagship iPhone 5S got most of the love from the Apple diehards Friday.

CNNMoney interviewed about 15 of the hundreds of people in line outside Apple's flagship New York store, and all of them were waiting for the glass-and-aluminum 5S, which cost $199 with a contract.

None were there for the colorful plastic 5C, which sold for $99 with a contract. While the 5C was the only device available for pre-order a week early, the ability to pre-order hasn't stopped Apple fanatics from lining up in person for past devices like the iPhone 5.

Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt, who counted more than 1,200 people on line at the flagship store a few minutes before the door opened, reported that everyone he asked was also "there to buy the iPhone 5S."

Some other customers waiting in lines around the world also dismissed the 5C. In London, 17-year-old student Waleed Tariq said "the 5C stands for 5 'cheap'. It's plastic and it looks cheap."

This is obviously a small sample size. It also may not be surprising that people willing to camp out for a phone would opt for the high-end model.

iPhone fans wait for hours for the new 5S

But if more consumers shun the 5C, that could be bad news for Apple. Many analysts had hoped that the less-expensive 5C could boost Apple's profit margins since the phone is also a lot cheaper to produce.

And at first blush, it does look like demand for the 5C is weak, even from those who preferred to order new phones online instead of standing in line.

Waiting in line today? Share your story with CNN iReport

On Apple's U..S. website Friday morning, all five colors of the iPhone 5C were listed as available to ship in one to three business days.

The 5S was another story. The graphite and "space gray" models will ship in 7-10 days, while the new gold color isn't available until October.

Apple didn't release early pre-order figures for the 5C as it has done in past years. That led to speculation that the early iPhone 5C figures are disappointing.

Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the iPhone 5C's performance so far.

But Nicholas Cage, who lined up at the Apple Store in Atlanta's Lenox Square shopping mall at 3:30 a.m., planned to pick up two 5Cs: one in white, the other in yellow.

"I got kids," he said simply.

Still, he said he was also there to buy himself a gold 5S.

- CNNMoney's Virginia Harrison contributed reporting from London, and CNN's Todd Leopold reported from Atlanta.

How outdated are we talking?

I pay for iTunes Match - 25 a year - and it scans your music library in iTunes and matches it in a cloud storage. From there any iOS device you use, as long as you are signed in under your AppleID, will have access to it to download and stream. Eliminates the need to ever 'plug' into iTunes to sync music.

For pictures in video, you can drag and drop when plugged into USB like a digital camera so I just back up that stuff before I need to clear a phone. Photo Stream will also back up your camera roll photos to iCloud.

Those two things (pics and music) tend to be the big things that take up space for people. The Match-iCloud combo helps a lot with that and also makes it a lot easier to transfer and set up new stuff.

Weird.

Ah awesome, found it. Repped. For some reason when you search for them individually it still has the price.

Anyone have a black Macbook? Is snow leapord compatible with it? That is the minimal OS I can use to download iTunes 11. Figured I'd try it, its only 20 bucks.
