Here's his advice:
This did not solve my problem. Thank you though. I have iTunes 11, which does not have the panes on the side, and my iPad doesn't even show up anywhere. I can charge it via the USB, but it won't show up to sync. I put it back on my old MacBook Pro, and it syncs like a charm.
In iTunes 11, go to view, select show side panel to get the classic view.
This was good to know, obviously, I didn't realize the pane was available. Thank you
Thank you, the back up I think helped a little. It was a good idea to do a manual back up anyway. Thank you for the info.
Glad that helped.
So I fixed my problem, and all the replies did help in some way, again, thank you all. The solution to my problem was, believe it or not, something very simple. 1st, connected to original Mac, stopes the wifi sync to that computer. 2nd, follow backup instructions to new computer. ( note, with iTunes 11, you really don't need the left side pane, there are buttons right on the summery tab of the device). 3rd, and most important, on your new Mac, you need to give it a name. So, in System Preferences>Sharing, put a name up there in the top space (if you don't already have one). 4th, in Summery tab of device in iTunes, check the Sync over Wifi.
It all worked after that, and stoped syncing to my old computer.
how do i make my new mac my new home computer for my ipad mini
