Does anyone use an iPhone 5c with a G4 or a G5 or am I stuck with iCloud?

[smac0031]

I was recently given an iPhone 5c.

I know in order to use iTunes with this thing you have to have an intel 
running iTunes 11 or something like that.
I got my G5 up to iTunes 7.6 and it recognizes that an iphone is connected, 
but can't do anything with it and my
G4 is just dumb.

I got the iphone on my wifi and it can read my gmail. I have heard things 
about the cloud that aren't good especially
when getting new computers.

This is probably a lost cause.

It is a lost cause to use a PPC Mac with newer iPhones. You don’t necessarily 
need to connect to a Mac because of iCloud, and the ability to upgrade iOS on 
the phone alone.  Still, it’s probably about time to be moving to Intel based 
Apple software. Some Intel Macs are selling very reasonably, for example, I see 
Intel iMacs for less than $100, which can be upgraded in the CPU, RAM, and HD 
so they can run 10.8.5 Mountain Lion with some minor tweaks. You can probably 
build a hackintosh that will run 10.10 Yosemite for only a couple hundred 
dollars. I'd work in that general direction ASAP. Even the old 2006 MacPro 1,1 
 1,2 can be upgraded to run Yosemite, and these are selling very reasonably 
now.
