Sorry for the trouble, LarryPerson! The first thing you'll want to do is make sure both devices are using the same view settings. If you tap the button that looks like an eye in the iPad app, does setting that to either "Remaining" or "All" cause the item in question to appear?

If not, the next thing I'd recommend was triggering a sync in OmniFocus for iPhone, then doing so in the iPad app. After the iPad finishes the sync, are you able to locate the item by name in OmniFocus for iPad's "Search" screen?
