connect ipad mini to mac mini via USB
GENIUS system tells me to connect ipad to mini using iTUNES
____AS A WAY TO CONTINUE SETUP of the IPAD.___
ERGO, there is no running OS on the ipad YET.
True to form, iTUNES says I do not have "permission"
PERMISSION? From WHO? These are both MY MACHINES.
KINDLY DO NOT "suggest" I use another method (i.e., WiFi). That is not the question being asked.
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
