iCal (iMac - 10.6.8) has now stopped syncing with iPhone 6 (9.3)

As per subject title, my phone and computer won't sync iCal..... This is a new one since update to 9.0.... have been waiting for Apple to debug but we are now on 9.3 and still nothing.......

am not pleased with Apple since Steve Jobs departed..... seems to be one bug after another and whilst I really do appreciate just how complex these little beauties are, the lack of testing before release seems to have become endemic......

Anyone got a suggestion or is this a wait game for Apple to sort it?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3

Update your computer OS. iOS 9 requires iTunes 12.3 or later, which is not compatible with OS 10.6.8.

This has nothing to do with any bug, and it's not Apple's fault. It has to do with the fact you're running an OS on your computer that is outdated and no longer supported.

Aha.... Thank you, that would explain a lot....however, updating OS would mean that I will have to buy a new iMac since I've gone as far as this one will let me... I shall have to start saving.....

Thanks Templeton..

Very sad, I have the same problem: Syncing my iCal on a MacOS 10.6.8. with my Google account. Integrations that worked for years are stopping to work.

I do not see the need to buy another computer, just for allowing my Mac to access the Google account. Is there not a way to get around this with some settings or authorizations? Why does Apple not provide appropriate updates, or upgrade paths to buyers of the machines.
