Don't worry about any iTunes version on the iPad itself.


iTunes 12.1.2 is insufficient to communicate to your iPad. Your iPad, running iOS 9.xxx requires a more current iTunes on your computer. (The current version is 12.3.2.)


iTunes 12.3.2 requires at least OS X 10.8.5 if you have a Mac (current is OS X 10.11.3). If you have a Windows machine, you need at least Windows 7.


If you have the requisite operating system (unlikely), then update iTunes from:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download


Otherwise, upgrade your operating system if you can. If not, you will need a new computer.
