Connect iPad mini 6 (2021) to Macbook Pro 2011 (El Capitan)
Hello,
I'm trying to connect a new iPad mini 6 (2021) to an older Macbook Pro (from 2011) that is running El Capitan OS.
When I connect the iPad using a cable (USB-C on the iPad to USB port on the Macbook), the Macbook does not recognize the iPad. There is no activity at all. The iPad does not display a connection, not even that the battery is charging.
The cable is good (it can charge the iPad when connected to AC, and it allows the connection of other types of devices).
Is it possible that the new iPad mini 6 is not compatible at all with a Macbook Pro 2011? Or is it a port issue? Could I connect the iPad to the Macbook's FireWire or other port?
