Media Query for all devices

Is there a media query that covers all devices as all I can find online and when researching is media queries for specific devices? I can create media queries for lots of devices being specific to the devices however I was hoping there was a blanket media query that covered all devices. So far I have only created a media query for ipad as you can see below.

 @media only screen and (device-width: 768px) {
   #menu {
     font-weight: 400;
     display: table;
     list-style: none;
     top: 60px;
     text-align: center;
     left: -10px;
     -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
     -moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
     box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
     font-size: 18px;
     height: 20px;
     z-index: 1101;
     position: fixed;
     width: 100%;
   }
   #apDiv2 {
     width: 100%;
     height: 70px;
     top: 0px;
     color: #000000;
     background-color: #0263B5;
     left: 0;
   }
 }

Styling that pertains to all devices should not be put inside a media query at all. It should be placed either before or after the media query (or queries).

Edit:

For example, if (for example) your #menu id is the same for all devices, but your #apDiv2 id needs specific styling for the iPad, then this is how you would change the CSS:

 #menu {
   font-weight: 400;
   display: table;
   list-style: none;
   top: 60px;
   text-align: center;
   left: -10px;
   -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
   -moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
   box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
   font-size: 18px;
   height: 20px;
   z-index: 1101;
   position: fixed;
   width: 100%;
 }

 @media only screen and (device-width: 768px) {
   #apDiv2 {
     width: 100%;
     height: 70px;
     top: 0px;
     color: #000000;
     background-color: #0263B5;
     left: 0;
   }
 }

Or, alternatively, let's assume that you want to control the positional styles for specific devices -- but all other styles are the same on all devices, here's how you'd do that:

 #menu {
   font-weight: 400;
   display: table;
   list-style: none;
   text-align: center;
   -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
   -moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
   box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
   font-size: 18px;
   z-index: 1101;
   position: fixed;
 }
 #apDiv2 {
   color: #000000;
   background-color: #0263B5;
 }

 @media only screen and (device-width: 768px) {
   #menu {
     top: 60px;
     left: -10px;
     height: 20px;
     width: 100%;
   }
   #apDiv2 {
     width: 100%;
     height: 70px;
     top: 0px;
     left: 0;
   }
 }
