I can’t seem to get any recognition between the iPad and the Mac Mini. I’m using the white USB cable that came with the iPad to connect them. Tried rebooting ad nauseum. It’s like two inert bodies, no indication on either side that the two are connected. No lights, sounds or animations. All the tutorials say is just connect them, and don’t mention about what to do if this elementary step fails. I saw some similar questions on other forums, but distressingly, they go unanswered. Any help would be appreciated! Yimin

The device needs to be set up in iTunes first. This step is appears to be omitted from many tutorials or perhaps it is a new feature and the tutorials are out of date.
In any case, it would be helpful if there were some kind of visual confirmation when a new device is connected and maybe a suggestion on what to do next.
On the other hand, setting up the provisioning profile in Xcode seems to be greatly simplified now. No need to copy the ID, run the key generator, etc.
