Mac OS X
Q: Is iTunes 12.5.1 a requirement for syncing a device with iOS10.
I have a 27" 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion. I have no desire to update the OS as some of my current software won't run. Now I use this machine for syncing up my music, calendar, etc to, 1 iPad mini, 1 iPad mini2, 2 iphone 4 and 1 ipod touch and all sync fine.
All this hardware works fine for me. However if I wish to purchase an iPad mini 4 and it is running iOS10 I am basically out of luck as iTunes 12.5.1 won't run on Mountain Lion. Also I have no desire to use iCloud. Any solution apart from trying to get an iPad mini 4 that is still running iOS9
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
