Q: I can neither connect my iPhone nor my iPad mini after upgrading to ios10
Hey guys,
so I upgraded my iPhone 5s as well as my iPad mini 2 to iOS10 today. I couldn't find any problems on my devices so far. Everything seemed to be ok. But now I wanted to sync new music from my iMac to the iPhone but upon connecting the usb cable, iTunes only gives me an error message. My system runs in German so I can only give you a translation of the error message which might not be how it reads in english. The message says something like: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone since there is an invalid response".
The same error message comes up when I connect my updated iPad mini. My guess is that my version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS10. I'm still running an old iMac from 2006 with OSX 10.7. The newest version of iTunes that I can install is 12.2.2.25. When I try to download a newer version from the apple download page, the browser automatically reverts back to 12.2.2. and wants to download that version. Are there any workarounds or is there a compatible version of iTunes in the making? Does somebody have the same problem and can he/she confirm it has to do with iTunes?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
