How can this be achieved?

You can do this like this,

uploadMngrView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[self setUploadManagerFrame];
[uploadMngrView setBackgroundColor:[self colorWithHexString:@"EFEFEF"]];
uploadMngrView.layer.borderColor = [self colorWithHexString:@"C7C7C7"].CGColor;
uploadMngrView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;

if ([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdom == UIUserInterfaceIdoniPad) {
    [self.view addSubview:uploadMngrView];
}

HTH, Enjoy Coding !!

As your setting up the views programatically, you something like this

if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{  
     // Create the view only for ipad
     self.someView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:someFrame];

     //Or set the view hidden just on ipad
     self.someView.hidden = YES;

     //Or set the view a different frame on ipad
     self.someView.frame = CGRectMake(x,y,width,height);

}
else
{
    //Do some non ipad layout stuff here
}
