iCloud
Q: Cannot upgrade to El Capitan. Now what?
Having recently purchased an iPhone 6S, and upgraded an iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini to iOS 9, I find of course that these devices will no longer talk to iTunes on my mid-2007 MacBook. Apparently I need to upgrade to iTunes 12.3 or better, but I cannot upgrade to El Capitan given the age of my machine. Do I really have to shell out $1,300-odd for a newer machine just to sync up my iOS devices? Or do I just draw a line under it and switch them all to iCloud backup, paying the extra storage every month? Is there any disadvantage to using iCloud backup over backing up to a hard-drive as I've always done? Are there any benefits? Any help gratefully appreciated.
