Before October 23, 2012, all iPads supported a minimum of Mac OS X 10.5.8 for connectivity.
This meant they could hook up to G4s and G5s that have USB 2 and Firewire, as long as 10.5.8 was installed on them. Starting September 2003,
G4s and G5s came with USB 2. 10.5 can be updated free to 10.5.8. For more on upgrading to 10.5.8, see this user tip.
Starting with the October 23, 2012 release, iPads required a minimum of 10.6.
That also meant, you need an Intel Mac to connect to them, and 10.6 installed.
If you aren't running a minimum of 10.5 on your Mac, you'll have to buy your operating system to connect your iPad to the Mac.
10.6 can be installed directly on top of 10.4.4 or later on an Intel Mac, as long as you buy the retail Installer CD, and have a minimum of 1 GB of RAM. For more on upgrading to 10.6, see this user tip.
