I have a late 2015 end-of-life iMac (no further updates except security) Monterey 12.6.5, and an iPad Pro at level 16.4.1 from the same year. One, as I said is not SW upgradable. The iPad is up to latest levels.
The iPad will not be recognized by the iMac. Is this because of the SW level inconsistencies?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
macOS 12 Monterey syncs just fine with iPadOS 16.4.1, using Finder.
If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Various possibilities, including add-on anti-malware, add-on first-few-hops VPN clients, add-on firewalls, maybe a bad cable, etc?

Item 3 of the above link, "If your computer doesn't recognize ... " helped.
I plugged it in directly before, but apparently missed "Trust this computer ... "
There was a software download on the Mac. Not even a boot or Finder relaunch.
I knew it had something to do with SW levels, it ceased working after iPadOS
went to 16.
Thanks for the tips.
Probably. I’m not up on which ones still use iTunes to sync, or which ones are visible via finder, but that’d be my first guess is that the Mac’s software simply lacks the drivers to see the ipad.
ipad pro and MacOS
