Old iPad not in Ventura devices

We have an old iPad *(3rd Gen, Early 2012). It's logged in to the Apple ID, but does not appear as a device in Mac Ventura under Apple ID devices. Is there a way to add it?

Hello RFB,


Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to see your iPad as a device signed into your Apple ID on your Mac. If your iPad isn't updated past iPadOS 7, this might be the reason looking at this Apple positioning on this:


"Add a device to the list
To add a device to the list, you need to sign in with your Apple ID. After you sign in on a device with your Apple ID, that device appears in the list. Here's where you need to sign in:
For iOS or iPadOS, sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes & App Stores, or Game Center on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.
For macOS or Windows 10 and later, sign in to iCloud on the device.
For Apple TV HD and later, sign in to the iTunes and App Store on the device.
For Apple TV (3rd generation) and earlier, sign in to the iTunes Store on the device.
Your AirPods will appear in the Find My app, but they won't appear in your Apple ID device list. You can remove your AirPods from your account using Find My. Devices running iOS 7 or earlier or OS X Mavericks or earlier won't appear in your device list."


And that info is from here: Check your Apple ID device list to find where you're signed in - Apple Support


Cheers!
