Synching iOS 9 Device with macOS Sierra

Question

Hi everyone,

i´m wondering if i can sync my iPad 3rd. Gen (iOS 9.3.5) with macOS Sierra and iOS 10?

I use Photos for Mac which i synchronize through iTunes and almost all iCloud Services.

Will my Photo Library sync completely between Mac and iPad or will something change? Faces, Albums and so on?

How will iCloud Services like Notes and Pages work between them?

Thank You and best regards

Christian

There should been no changes due to macOS Sierra for the iCloud procedures in your situation.

If you are using iTunes to sync with iOS10, you now need iTunes 12.5.1.

Thank you, this was helpful.

I guess you don't know about the iOS 9 syncing?

I Sync my Photos to iPad and iPhone via iTunes and rather keep it at iOS 9 and El Capitan if Sierra would break that.

If someone have tried this i would appreciate your experience.

Nothing should change in syncing with iOS 9.x

There are no changes in Sierra that should break anything that you are describing here.

I highlighted the only caveat. You'll need the most current version of iTunes (12.5.1) to work with the most current version of iOS (10.0.1)
