My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices

I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
Thank you.

IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB. No problem with my iPhone. Anyone else with this problem? Any solution? (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it. Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link. So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
Any ideas are appreciated.

The first time I connected my new My Passport portable hard drive to my Mac, the message asking if I want to use the drive to back up with Time Machine did not appear. What is the next step?

The first time I connected my new My Passport portable hard drive to my MacBook Pro, the message asking if I want to use the drive to back up with Time Machine did not appear. I would like to set it up to do this. What would my next step be?

Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Open Time Machine preferences to select this drive for use as the backup drive. Turn on Time Machine.

Using iPad Pages,, I inserted emoji characters in a document and the characters appeared in the document when it synced to my iPhone, but they did not appear when synced to my iMac (Mountain Lion). Any ideas?

You'd need to have an Emoji font installed on your Computer. Do you?

Why did iPad 3 did not get airdrop ??? I read on internet that it does not need hardware upgrade as it's a software... So y is this injustice? The specs of iPad 3 is better thn iPad mini.. Still y did apple not include this in ios 7 update of iPad 3?

AirDrop uses special technology that is only available in the newest generation of wifi/bluetooth radio chip in the latest iOS devices. Airdrop can actually connect between devices without technically being logged into a network. Only the latest chips support that tech.

HT201269 How do I transfer a movie from an iPad mini to a Seagate external drive?

How do I transfer a movie from an iPad mini to a Seagate external drive? Movie is now in iTunes store. Purchased a new Seagate external drive fo xmas and is recognized by the iPad mini. Tried by moving a small video and worked. Now I would like to move two movies that are in iTunes store that were purchased to the external drive to free up space and be able to watch in potential upcoming new Apple Air. Have checked several pages on-line and having no success finding the information to enable me to do this. Some some information about moving the movie to iCloud, but did not seem to work.

You don't need to do this.
Any purchases you make from the iTunes store are yours for download anytime on any device with your Apple ID used to purchase that media. It could also be streamed from the cloud.
Just delete the movies from the iPad if you need the space.
When you get a new iPad, open the iTunes store, go to purchases, and sign in. Then you can download anything you bought with your ID in the past - Free, you already own it.

IPad Mini will not boot after battery drained after IOS8.0.2 Update

I upgraded to IOS 8.0.2 having skipped 8.0.1 two days ago. I did not notice any unusual problems, but with hindsight a few apps did crash out on occasions, but not consistently.
Yesterday night I let the battery completely drain and I plugged it in to recharge overnight.
This morning I find that logo is still on screen and it doesn't look as if the iPad has recharged. I have tried re-booting a number of times, but it will not progress beyond the Apple Logo. I have tried connecting to iTunes on my Macbook Pro, but no device is recognised.
Having left the iPad sitting next to me while still connected to a charger, I have noticed on a couple of occasions a flash of blue screen followed by black and then the Apple Logo appearing again.
My iPad Mini Retina 128Gb appears very dead at the moment. Any suggestions on revival?

Try to put your iPad into DFU mode and do a full restore this way. To do so, follow the steps below:
1. Open iTunes on your computer
2. Connect your iPad via USB.
3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for about 10 seconds.
4. Release the Sleep/Week button but keep pressing the Home button until iTunes shows that it has detected and iPad in DFU mode.
5. Try restoring your iPad.
If this won't solve your problem, and you are not able to do a restore via iTunes at all, then take your iPad to an Apple Retail Store because then it is possibly a hardware failure. Here you can find the service options: https://getsupport.apple.com/ProductSelector.action

IPad Mini could not connect to wifi - but Android phone was OK

I was at the Hay Literary Festival yesterday and although they had a good free wi-fi service to which my Android Samsung phone could connect, my iPad Mini could not hold the connection....it found the wi-fi, I entered the userid and p/w and momentarily it appeared to have connected, but then lost it. Another person near me had exactly the same issue with her iPad Mini.    As soon as we got home, my iPad connected as usual to my home wi-fi and there is no hint of an issue with it.
So what could have been wrong at Hay?    Even when I positioned myself next to their router, my iPad still would not maintain the connection. Is there something inherently wrong with the iPad, which I may get with other free wi-fi connections? Or was there something unusual about the Hay setup? Their techno-guru opined that Apple devices don't always connect, whereas Android's don't seem to have a problem.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT4623 my ipad mini does not turn on. How do I fix it? Or do I need to go to an Apple Store?

My iPad mini does not work. It does not turn on. Help!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
