Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I got my new iPad today, and am running the latest OS on it and my MBP.
I connected the iPad via USB and in iTunes, checked "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi".
I then unconnected it from USB and connected it to the power plug. It and the MBP are on the same Wi-Fi network, but the iPad does not show up in iTunes. My OLD iPad still does, but the new one doesn't.
Anyone know why the new iPad can sync ONLY via USB?

Same here. A restart seems to have gotten everything working like normal. Note that a simple log-out/log-in did not get things working.

While waiting on hold for AppleCare, I re-booted my Mac and my iPad, and just as the AppleCare guy got on the phone, the problem cleared up: the iPad appeared wirelessly under Devices in iTunes. I told him this and he said the first thing he was going to have my try was re-booting Mac and iPad.
So the problem was solved. As soon as I hung up, I noticed that now iTunes was not wirelessly recognizing my iPhone. So I re-booted the iPhone and now it works.
Thanks to all for your advice.
Hi,
Thx for reminding us the basics...😉
Shut down & Restart the Mac helped!!!

Me, too. Nothing else worked but restarting my Mac, but as soon as I did and iTunes reopened, it found my new iPad and synced it.
I can confirm that I also had to restart both my iPad and my Mac in order to get wifi sync to work.
Hi, I also had the same problem and your solution worked, thanks!
