HT2729 syncing new ipad mini with itunes

trying to sync my new ipad mini to my older macbook with itunes 10.6 it says i need 10.7.
When I check for upgrades it says mine is the latest version. Help?

The situation you are probably in is that your Mini wants a newer operating system and iTunes than your older computer can handle. It is quite common for mac apps and programs to have a limited 'backwards compatibility' where new programs and devices will cease compatibility with older devices and programs and operating systems.
Your choice will probably be to upgrade your computer or use only iCloud to sync your mini.

    iOS device backups are stored in your iTunes library.
    Move your iTunes library to an external drive.

  • HT1386 Having trouble syncing my ipad mini with iTunes

    When I sync my ipad mini with my iTunes it appears the process is happening, the line indicating music is present on the ipad appears. But when the syncing is done the line disappears and no music has been loaded to the ipad.

    Are you signed into the correct iD on the iPad in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID?
    Do you have Sync only  checked songs and videos selected in the Summary Tab of iTunes? If you do, are you selecting the music to sync? If you don't have that checked, have you selected the music to sync? Are you trying to sync the entire library?

  • How can I sync my iPad mini with itunes version 10.6.5? My mac says it is up to date.

    My iPad mini won't sync up to my iMac as it says I need a different version of iTunes.  when I try to update iTunes it says I am already up to date.  Any suggestions?

    You need iTunes version 10.7 or later. Your OS, however, Mac OS X 10.5.8, does not support a newer version of iTunes. You need to upgrade your computer's OS. If your Mac has an Intel processor, buy Snow Leopard: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It is compatible with the latest version of iTunes.

  • Issues syncing new iPad air with iTunes

    Hi everyone-
    I work at an Apple Reseller and I am trying to trouble shoot an issue for one of my customers. He brought in an iPad 3 with information on it that he backed up to iTunes and wants to put it on his new iPad air. The issue is that the PC would not recognize the new iPad Air, but will recognize the older device. He is running Windows 7 on a PC and is using the newest version of iTunes. Does anyone know if there are any special drivers he needs to have? Or why iTunes won't recognize the new iPad air? Has anyone else had this issue? Please respond. Thank you!!

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

    I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

    You will need to choose one as the "master", back that unit up to iTunes, then restore the other unit from that backup and then sync all the same content and apps. That's the only way they'd have identical data. If you need to keep then synched on an ongoing basis, you'll probably need to use some sort of cloud-based service such as iCloud or Dropbox to hold the data, which of course will require that your apps support that service for storage of documents.

  • HT1386 Hi, I have an old powermac G4 laptop running OS X 10.5.8, can I sync my ipad mini with the version of itunes running on it?

    Hi
    I have a powerbook G4 laptop, A1095 running OSX 10.5.8
    Can I sync my ipad mini with the itunes I have installed?
    Regards
    Gavin

    Yes ... with regard to syncing. Actually, you need to be running OS X 10.6.8. This is copied from the iPad Mini tech specs website.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • Try to load new iPad Mini with reserve copy from my iMac

    Hi,
    Try to load new iPad Mini with reserve copy from my iMac coming from my iPhone 4S.
    When selecting the copy I can not find the just made copy from my iPhone 4S.
    I see tree others, but not the latest from iPhone 4S.
    Is there a max on copies showed ??
    Please advise,

    As far as I know there is no limit to the number of backups that you can store in iTunes as long as you have the available storage capacity on the Mac. I have at least 10 or 12 backups in iTunes for my iPad and iPod Touch. Every time that you restore from a backup - a time and date stamped backup is created that cannot be overwritten. I must have 8 of those backups on my Mac.
    Did you look in iTunes>Preference>Devices to see if the backup is really in there?

    Hi cdag144,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to sync. If you are unable to sync because your iPad isn't showing up in iTunes at all (you mention it showing up as a device on the computer), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Photos orientation not ok after syncing my ipad mini with my pc?

    When i sync my ipad mini with my pc to add photos, the photos dont keep the orientation?
    And when i modify and save them on my ipad, i have the same picture twice but with 2 orientation?
    Exemple: Photo 1 is in my PC and photo 2 is in my ipad mini after the syncing.
    What can i do to have only one photo off each and in the right orientation?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the information as this helped immensely. I was having the same problem having recently purchased the iPad and using Windows Vista. Made a series of edits in "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" to correct the view on my PC by rotating and then loaded into the iPad and they were showing incorrectly. Found a quick solution was to do all the rotations whilst in file manager (i.e. viewing the icons) and not picture editor. Seems this enables them to display correctly on the PC and also go into the iPad correctly. If you actually rotate the pictures whilst editing it doesn't work.
