Hi all, i just bought the new Ipad Pro 11 '20 and i'm kinda not sure how i can connect/sync it with my iMac. Mine is the iMac 27" late 2012 running on the OS Catalina 10.15.5, it has 4xUSB 3 and 2xThunderbolt ports. Now i've been searching for results in discussion and fail to get any leads so far.
What do i need to sync the iPad to the Mac? What special cable do i need? Any leads, links etc is really appreciated, thanks all!
You don’t need any special cables. The cable that came with your iPad will work just fine for what you need. Your computer has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports as you stated. These ports are what you can use with the cable that came with your iPad to get it sync to your computer. Once you have it connected to the computer with the port open iTunes and when it gets all loaded up, you should see an image on iTunes up by where it lets you select music, movies, or whatever else you want, that looks like the iPad. When you click on that, you’ll be able to control what happens when you connect your iPad to your computer and what data will sync. It also lets you control what files you are going to get on the iPad for the different apps.

Hi guys got my connection issue solved today. Bought an inexpensive adapter USB-C to USB-A which cost abt $4.50 for 2 piece.
Tried it out and manage to charge and transfer data from my iMac to the iPad and even backed it up.

Hi ZintainUSA, the iPad Pro 11 came with a USB C charging cable and it wont fit into the 2 thunderbolt port nor the 4 USB A ports in my 2012 iMac.
How do i sync my ipad pro 11?
