Importing Itunes to a new iPad

[Johanbgoot]

I have a music library on my iMac running 10.6.8 (yes folks - if it ain't broke don't fix it). I bought a new iPad running ios 11.04.  When I connect the two the imac can see the ipad but says it can't communicate with it. When I open itunes on the imac it does not show the ipad.  Ideas on how I can get these two to communicate with each other?

Thanks, John

First, 10.6.8 is "broke". When was the last Security Update for it? Many of Apple's apps have also been updated with security patches.

What version of iTunes are you using?

John, what is the most recent OS your Mac is capable of running?

You'll need to update - there is no way around it. 10.6.8 is compatible only up to iOS 7 and that was a 4 years ago.

Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) is required minimum for the new iCloud Drive and iOS 11 (except for Notes, which requires El Capitan). iTunes 12.7.0.166 is needed for iOS 11.
