IPad mini iTunes sync without Bluetooth??

I have a wifi-only iPad Mini on order for my wife. Her computer is an older iMac5,2 without Bluetooth. Will she be able to transfer/sync her contact data, photos and music using the iMac's USB connection? Would any additional adaptor/'camera kit' be needed for this?
Thanks in advance.

Here are the iPad Mini Technical specs for syncing with iTunes. She has to be running iTunes 10.7 and that requires an Intel Mac. Bluetooth is of no use anyway for syncing purposes.
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download
There are some WiFi transfer apps available in the App Store that will move photos and videos to the iPad from the Mac - assuming that the Mac meets the requirements for those apps.
Without knowing more about her Mac, more than likely, she will not be able to sync with iTunes and may have problems with the WiFi transfer apps of her Mac is that old.

HT4009 iPad mini: iTunes purchases

I recently bought me An iPad Mini. iTunes is telling me to answer a couple of security questions in order to purchase items from the iTunes Store. It has been a few years since I entered them and I don't remember what I put them as. It lets me use my ipod to download them though. What do I do?

congrats on your ipad mini by the way

You can not connect to the internet with a WiFi only iPad without WiFi. You can get a mobile hot spot from your carrier but that still connects to the iPad via WiFi and comes with a monthly data plan like a cell phone.

You didn't mention which reset you tried that didn't work ...
Try this reset ...

Then restart your iPad.
Try the iTunes Store.

Just started up my new ipad mini and synced it with itunes i went in to photos to delete some of the unwanted pictures but!!! There is no delete button

Went to delete pictures on ipad mini and there was no delete button Help!!

If pictures was synced from your computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select it from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

Can the contact data base be overwritten by an IPad on ITunes sync?

We have two IPad minis and two IPhone5s. My wife has updated and purged msny of the hundreds of contacts on he IPad. We have one user ID. I sync her IPad and her iphone on my Mac Book Pro where the Contact file resides.
How do I overide with her IPad the resident Contact file on the Mac? Does the ITunes sync recognize the different devices and their respective Contact files?
Does the order of syncing impact what is recorded on each device?
I am trying to seperate her contact info from mine. Is that possible?
Thank you for any help and insight on solving this problem.

IPad and iTunes syncing issues

I gave my old computer to my Dad, I need to add my ipad to my new computer. I downloaded the itunes on my new computer, but when I try to sync, it tells me that the ipad is synced with another iTunes library and ipad can be synced with only 1 iTunes library. Is there anyway to unsync with the old computer and sync with the new computer without loosing all the apps and data that I have on my ipad?

The ipad will sync itunes content and pics from one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another it will indeed erase the current content from the ipad and replace with content from the new computer.
You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one.

IPad Mini Music Syncing Problem

I just bought a new iPad mini and tried to sync music from my iTunes account to my device but when I try to listen to music it says the re isn't any, but according to my computer there is music on the iPad.

Are you using the Music App on the iPad to listen to your songs? You do not use iTunes for music. iTunes is a store only on the iPad.
Are you certain that you selected the music to sync? Where do you see that the music is on the iPad - where in iTunes exactly?
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

Ipad mini itunes download starts and fails

Hi,
We just got an Ipad mini for christmas. Everything was working fine until we wanted to sync the ipad with itunes on our pc.
The applications and photos are synchronizing properly. However, the music and video are not.
I search the web and the community and there are few thread talking about it but nothing works.
I have install itunes 11 and the same problem occurs.I have also enough space on my ipad to store all my music. This works well with my itouch.
I also notice something else. On my ipad, i can go download from the itunes apps what we proviously bought. When i click to redownload, the download starts
and when it reachs 100%, i get that an error occured and to try to donwload again.
Can anyone help us?

Hi all,
I found the problem. I had an idea to check if there is an application on the app store to view the ipad mini logs. I search "log system" and installed the application System Console, which is free.
I tried again to download stuff from itunes and check the logs. I had the following error:
2013-01-24 01:58:11 +0000 itunesstored SELECT item.ROWID FROM item JOIN item_stats USING (item_pid) WHERE (item_stats.download_identifier = ?) could unexpectedly not be stepped after 0: 11/database disk image is malformed
I searched on the web about this problem and it did not provided me answers. Most of them were talking about their application having a database disk image malformed. I though it could be the itunes application itself that could be the problem.
I tried a reset all settings and data from the ipad mini and reconfigured it. It worked properly.
I hope this help somebody else.
Cheers!

Ipad Mini doesnt sync with IMac

I have a 4 year old Imac running 10.5.8. How do I go about updating the OS to mountain lion because my Imac does not recognize the ipad mini.

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with iDevices:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

IPad mini retina won't bluetooth pair - even with Apple products!

my brand new ipad mini retina 128 doesn't bluetooth pair - even with an apple chicklet keyboard (or other keyboards or even with my iphone 5s)!!!!
what a joke
I've read posts and tried resetting ipad, bluetooth, peripherals, etc
any suggestions? again, totally weak on apple's part

Also, iOS devices will not pair with any other iPhone or iPad as you have found out. They are designed to be paired with bluetooth keyboards, stereos, headsets and, for thethering only, phones and computers.
