Hello Debby,
Congratulations on your new iPad!  You may need to restore your iPad if the sync option is grayed out.  You can find steps to restore your iPad here:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Once you have done that, you can use the steps in the following article to sync your iPad to your computer:

I hope this helps you get setup with your new iPad!
Best,

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • How do i sync my new ipad mini with mac 10.5.8?

    i just received my ipad mini.  i am unable to sync  the message i must download osx 10.7  i have 10.5.8.
    my imac is about 4 1/2 years old. 
    What should I do.  The sales lit says nothing about compatability.
    bummed

    From Apple's site:
    System Requirements
    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
    Same as printed on the box the iPad came in.

  • I have Firefox 20.0.1 on my laptop which has Windows 7. When I try to print a range of "Selection on my Canon Pixma MG5320 from an internet page it will not do

    I cannot print a selected "Selection" from an Internet page. I don't always want to print "All" of a page or pages.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • HT2729 syncing new ipad mini with itunes

    trying to sync my new ipad mini to my older macbook with itunes 10.6 it says i need 10.7.
    When I check for upgrades it says mine is the latest version. Help?

    The situation you are probably in is that your Mini wants a newer operating system and iTunes than your older computer can handle. It is quite common for mac apps and programs to have a limited 'backwards compatibility' where new programs and devices will cease compatibility with older devices and programs and operating systems.
    Your choice will probably be to upgrade your computer or use only iCloud to sync your mini.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Try all of these.

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

    Go here to add the iPad to your support profile. That should work. Keep the credit card receipt as well.

  • Will the new iPad Mini with Retina Display fit into the older iPad Mini case?  (Will it be the same size?)

    I am planning to purchase the new iPad Mini with Retina Display when it comes out this month.  I am curious to know whether it will fit into the older iPad Mini cases that are currently available.  I wasn't sure whether I should go ahead and buy a case, or if I should wait due to a size difference.  Thanks!

    The old iPad mini case will fit new iPad mini. However, the new iPad mini has 2 microphones and the 2nd microphone located on the back. (old iPad mini only had 1 microphone). That means, the old case will cover the 2nd microphone.
    The 'old' case will cover the rear microphone, but the new and currently sold iPad mini smart case has the cutout for the rear microphone. It can clearly be seen on mini Smart Case photo.
    I had a black mini SmartCase on order at the time I posted the above.  Although my mini-retina won't arrive for a couple of weeks the case arrived today.  I has the cutout for the rear microphone just as shown in the images on the Apple Store.

  • I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from iphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from inphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    Other than a couple of minor adjustments, such as the one that Diavonex suggested above, there is nothing that a user can do in settings to adjust color. There is no way to calibrate the color like you can do with a computer monitor.

  • New ipad mini with retina display 128gb performance poor

    i just bought my new ipad mini with retina display 128gb, but i after i tried to run in for some apps, i found out the performance is very poor, and i just wondering izzit im the only one who had this problem which i get the lousy ipad mini or every one else who bought the ipad mini 2 got this problem?? My game apps list like below. the game will lag 1 second sometimes: anomaly 1, anomaly korea, minigore 2. And when i run anomaly 2, it's lag like the old device >_< (p/s when i run anomaly 2 on my ipad 2, it run smooth than my ipad mini 2 ) so izzit other got the problem like me?

    Well I don't think is the app problem, since yesterday I already called my country apple customer centre, they told me to reset all setting for my device, the problem is then solve, my anomaly 2 not even lag anymore, and they call me observe 24 hours see how the device work. At first the device work well and no lag anymore for my other game and anomaly 2 too, but after a night, this morning when I wake up, the problem is occurring again, my anomaly 2 is lag as before >_< so I make a call and they call me to restore factory setting, then after restore, the problem solve again , but still I had to observe few more days, if same thing happen again, then they will call me send back my ipad to give them double check and if the device got problem , they promised me will exchange the new one for me ~ will keep update see how after a few day~
