How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

I sing up to iMessage using Apple ID but start new converstion from my phone number as caller ID. Somehow only 1 conversion syncs between my iPhone and my iPad. Recently it stop. So I start looking for answers. I want to sync my all converstions, I found that I can set phone number as Caller ID on an iPad but I can't found how. I will apreciate if anyone will put some light on how iMessage works.
    I still want that my caller ID will be my phone number cause I don't want to make 2 separte thread on the one who get my message.
    If I set my email as caller ID so when I'll send a text message from my phone it will make a seperate thread converstion from me on the device of the person I send the text to.

  • How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

    How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

    I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
    Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
    I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
    I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
    I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
    This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.

    How do I sync my PC with Itunes 11.1 to my Ipad Mini with IOS 7.02? My PC tells me I can't sync as Ipad requires Itunes 11.1

    hey all....
    i too have the itunes (version 11.1.1)
    and ipad with iOS (version 7.0.2)
    Initially i had problems with syncing,
    i unistalled the itunes software alongwith the associated softwares by Apple Inc., and again downloaded the itunes from apple website, that solved my problem.
    The issue may be with the media file you are trying to sync, there are a few type of files that the itunes doesn't sync with your ipad.
    Hope this helps!!!!!

  • HT1222 how do I download IOS5 onto my macbook and IPad 2?

    Hi, my IPad 2 has some apps that need to be updated....when I attempt to do that, the message reads you need IOS5 on IPad to complete the process.  How do I update my IPad 2 with that operating system?  thank you.

    If you aren't sure you want to update to iOS 6, there are a few places that have iOS 5 available for download
    http://leimobile.com/firmware-downloads/
    Note many have been upset at Apple's new Maps application, and the fact the old Google Maps only is available via web browser.  If all your apps need just iOS 5, it may be worth while just getting iOS 5 until you've heard Apple has improved the new Maps application.
