i can't sync my iPad 4 on my computer (software OS X 10.6) requires 10.7 or later

On my laptop I have the OS X 10.6 software. Checked for updates and didn't find anything and same thing happened with iTunes update and that's why I can't sync my iPad. Please help!

iPad, iOS 6.0.2

About this Mac OS X version 10.5.8 no updates found. I also tried to update iTunes and it won't let me get the latest version because it keeps telling me I need 10.6 software or later.

Thank you.


The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x


It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.


Do this first...


Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.


You should then be able to Sync.



Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
