iPad 3 Mini + iOS 10 + iTunes 11.4 - compatible?

Hello.  I plan to update my iPad iOS 10 Mini 3.  Before that, I wanted to ensure that I would not immediately be in compatibility with other hardware/software problems.  Here's what's in the mix:

1. iPad Mini 3 (model MH3L2LL/A), running iOS 8.3.  I have everything backed up the Mini via iTunes to my old desktop Mac, which is...

2. an old Mac Pro (MacPro4, 1) running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Yes, it's an old Mac with an old OS (which runs great... I've been waiting for the replacement for the current model from the 'bottle' Mac Pro... "I'll probably die before Tim releases who, but I digress). For iPad Mini backups, synchronization, etc., I use...

3 iTunes on the Mac 11.4 (18)

My concern: I'm looking to avoid triggering a cascade of updates required (from iTunes and Mac OS) which would deadlock with me being unable to synchronize the iPad (which will run iOS 10) because she would need to a later version of iTunes, or a more recent version of Mac OS.

Check for updates in iTunes 11.4, it says ' this version of iTunes (11.4) is the current version. "  No doubt this is a half-truth, and it's really just the last version, which runs on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (I'm sure that there is a newer version of iTunes).  I'm not going to update the version of Mac OS X running on the old Mac Pro (I'll replace it the machine later, but not right now).

So, my question of compatibility:

Using my existing Mac running Mac OS X (10.6.8) and iTunes (11.4), If I update my iPad Mini 3 iOS 10, I will always be able to sync, backup, etc. the iPad Mini 3 to my Mac via iTunes?

Hope that above all makes sense.

Thanks for your help.

(wasn't sure what community to put this-I chose iPad, but could of course also go to several others)

You're in trouble. iOS 10 must 12.5.1. Update your iTUnes is required to the installation iOS10 (if you install via iTunes)

You can always upgrade, but you will not be able to synchronize with your mac.

  • iPad 2 Mini stuck in recovery after update.

    Hello

    After that I tried to update my iPad 2 Mini 9 IOS to 9.3 via OTA, the iPad was found in recovery mode. As it happened, here's what I tried:

    -Restore / update: isn't working, returns an error 9 most of the time, but mostly just a message telling me my iPad is in recovery.

    -do the same with several cables USB (official or spare parts), also with another Mac (I use a MacBook Pro usually) and even a PC.

    -updated my iTunes Mac, OSX...

    -using obsolete tools like reiboot for the shot on the recovery mode.

    -put in DFU.

    I have no idea what to do next. Just to let you know, it has never been jailbroken or dropped on the floor... Nothing. It has always worked perfectly. If it helps, let me tell you what happens when I try to update / restore:

    -Once iTunes has downloaded firmware (currently 9.3.1), he does things (extraction, waiting for my iPad...), then once the progress bar appears, if I updated it stops early and the screen flashes blue for a second; If I'm trying to restore the progress bar goes all the way, then the blue flash is displayed.

    If anyone has an idea on what I should try, let me know. I don't mind losing my data because I have a backup in iCloud.

    Thanks for your help.

  • IPad will not sync with iTunes on my laptop. Synchronization in iPpod settings will not work

    MY iPad will not sync with iTunes on my laptop, the sync on my iPad button will not work. I have the latest updates on both.

    I guess you mean that the sync button in iTunes, not on the iPad, will not work. If you are sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iOS (your profile shows 8.1) try quitting iTunes on the computer, restart the computer and force restart your iPad

    No data is lost during this procedure. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • iPad 2 Air (iOS 9.3.5) said 'sharing location' - in messages.

    I noticed on my iPad 2 Air, (iOS 9.3.5) that when the use of messages, it is said

    "You share your location" when I click on "details".

    I never shared my position.

    Also, I "Location services" off. Looked at the settings > iCloud > and find my iPad's market (but greyed out) and "share my location" under ADVANCED is dimmed.

    How to make a gray location on my part so I can switch that off?

    Never shared my position in the first place. Thank you.

    Ive tried all the methods in the world. Update software on the computer and ipad. I NEED HELP

    If you have "tried all methods in the world', then, by definition, nothing to try.

    Clearly, it would be much more useful if you told us exactly what you try.

    Similarly, instead of saying "updating the software on the computer and iPad", you should indicate the version numbers.  For example, if you have a Mac and running an older version of OS X, or a PC with an older version of Windows, you can optionally synchronize your iPad because you need a recent version of iTunes which does not work on those older systems.
