My mac will not connect to my iPad in iTunes... what's going on?

Recently I tried to connect my iPad to my Mac to sync music. I PLUGGED IT IN, and it started charging, but iTunes would not acknowledge it. I tried a WiFi sync. The iPad saw the Mac, but the Mac was still blind. The iPad is on the device list, and it has been since I got the Mac. My iTunes is up to date, I've restarted the Mac and the iPad more than once. My iPhone connects without issue. Help!

Devices:

iPad 2 (2011) iOS 7.0.4

MacBook 2009 White OS X 10.9 (latest of Mavericks)

iPhone 5c (2013) iOS 7.0.4 (NOT an issue)

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

The iPad said "looking for mb-...". I tapped Sync Now, it changed to Cancel Sync, and eventually went back to Sync Now, and completed nothing.

iTunes never acknowledged that the iPad was connected to it.

I've been using the same ipad and Mac for over a year. It last synced in October. I have all of the requirements and I have restarted my mac more than once.
