Moving ipad music to macbook

Had iTunes on PC/Windows with music on Ipod.  Moved to MacBook Pro, but now when I attempt to sync from Ipod to MacBook (and hopefully to Ipad) I get message that Ipod isn't associated and my only option is to delete music on Ipod.  HELP.

If you using the most recent version of iTunes, you should be able to re-download all of the music if you've purchased it. I've contacted iTunes support, and they've made all of my previously purchased music available for download again.

  • How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

    hello,
    I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
    And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
    I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
    Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
    I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
    Another issue.
    Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
    I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
    Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
    Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
    Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
    Please advise,
    Have a great day!!
    Brandon

    A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
    There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

    how to transfer Ipad music NOT purchased from Apple to MacBook Air.  Answers found in the Community does not seem to deal with similar questions posted to the Community.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

  • How do i transfer music from my ipad to my macbook pro

    How do I transfer music from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Does your iPad and MacBook Pro use the same Apple ID for the iTunes store.

  • I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID.

    I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID. Please help me before I kill something!!

    How did you go about transferring your library onto the iMac? There are specific instructions one must follow to do this correctly without causing loss of data. Simply signing in via your Apple ID won't do much of anything unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Did you just copy the entire iTunes folder over? If so, Quit iTunes then hold down option and click the iTunes icon in the Dock. Don't release option until the popup appears asking if you want to create a new library. Simply navigate to the library in the folder you copied over.
    If you didn't go about transferring your library in that way, and you still have the MacBook Pro, follow these instructions to transfer your library properly to avoid data loss.
    Hope that helps!

  • Problems syncing 64GB iPad 2 to MacBook Air 1st Generation

    Before I had an iPad, I used a MacBook Air for portable applications and travel. I never kept much on my MacBook Air (just word files, and the occasional song or photo). I had an old iMac for home use, and to sync with my little mini-iPod for the gym. (The iMac has a huge photo archive and gym music; the MacBook Air has some old precious family photos, some recent trip photos, and a more car-friendly, thoughtful collection of music. It also now has back-up from all my iPad 2 applications, books, movies, iTunes classes, and music)
    Since May, I have been backing up my iPad 2 64GB to my 1st Gen MacBook Air, and loading more photos and songs on my iPad and my Air. Silly me...I clearly wasn't planning ahead...since there are only 72GB of memory on the 1st Generation Airs. So, of course, now the iPad 2 has 36GB or so of data on it, and the MacBook Air has run out of room. I can no longer sync, and all the apps on the Air are running slow!
    I tried moving all media files off the Air to a 1TB external storage device, but that's unruly. When I try to sync, I get difficult questions about whether I want to "replace all files on the iPad 2"? And even if I were brave enough to say "yes", with so many files on an external device, the MacBook Air no longer feels portable.
    I'm open to buying new hardware (say, a MacMini, or--after taking some months for saving money, a new laptop or desktop). Or combining iTunes profiles and photos somehow between my iMac and Air, and then syncing to the iMac instead of the Air, and letting the Air become once again a relatively empty portable laptop. Or will the iCloud solve all my problems?
    I'm looking for suggestions and solutions....

    I had the same beeping problem, using an apple cable plugged directly into one of my iMac's USB ports.  Worse, at one point in trying to eliminate my iPad Air beeping, iTunes would not recognize my iPad as a device.  After trying various remidies I saw posted, I elimited the beeping and was able to sync with my iMac by doing the folowing:
    1.  Restart both my iMac and iPad, with them disconnected, and an apple connection cable in one of the iMac's USB ports (not in a USB hub).
    2.  Open iTunes on the iMac
    3.  Eject every device that iTunes identifies, even though they are not connected (for me, two iphones and my wife's iPad).  After uyou eject the last device, the "x devices" button will disappear.
    4.  Connect the iPad Air to the iMac via the Apple cable.  I heard a single beep, and iTunes found my iPad in about 5 seconds.
    5.  I was then able to sync/backup my iPad to the iMac.
    Hope this works for others.

  • How do I transfer audiomemos on ipad to my macbook pro

    I have been using audiomemo vs 3.1.7 on ipad.  trying to sync or transfer my audio records to macbook pro.  Tried in itunes but cannot find a way to transfer over.

    I'm sorry did not work. When I attach my ipad to MacBook Pro-iTunes is open.  
    1st iPhoto pops up and does its loading. It recognizes my device on left col but there no tab to select music. This only shows my photos & some videos I made as I look around in iPhoto.
    iTunes is open. So i select music (from a drop down)
    No where is there a way to  check "include voice memos"
    I looked all around still could not find that selection!
    I even selected Apps from drop down scrolled down to bottom - nada.
    I hope I am making it clear what I see & happens is not same as you - any help is appreciated I need those audio memos downloaded  from my ipad to my MacBook they are too large to email. Thanks

  • IOS 5 seems to work, but when I connect the ipad to my macbook, i get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What should I do?

    iOS 5 seems to work on my ipad, but apparently something went wrong when restoring. I lost music and movies, and when I connect the ipad to my macbook, I get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What happened and what should I do?

    I have had the same issue since day 1 of the ios5 installation.  I always hit "Cancel" and then the iPad eventually shows up again in iTunes.  Then a few hours later, I get the same message again.  Annoying, but I've not found a way around it.

  • HT1848 Trying to move files from iPad to new MacBook

    Hi.
    I'm trying to move my music etc from an iPad to my new Macbook. My previous computer (PC) died some time ago, so I have no backups of the info on my iPad. (Well, a backup from about a year ago!) I lost my iPad data once before, after doing an OS update on it, and it was only my own ideas and not AppleCare that helped me to sort the problem out. That said, I'm a bit nervous now that I don't have any backups of the data.
    OK, so I've tried following the steps in the article about this. I've also turned off the automatic sync function now because I'm scared it'll immediately sync to an empty iTunes. But even having done this, I'm still getting the 'sync in progress' message on my iPad. The Macbook isn't giving me the message to 'transfer', but asking if I want to update the OS on the iPad.
    So ... Is the iPad actually sync-ing if it says it's sync-ing or is it just in the initial stages of connection and hasn't done anything yet? Can I leave the devices connected?
    And if I just say no to the OS update, will I then get the message I'm supposed to get?
    *** Oh, and it was opening iPhoto too. I've now followed the instructions to stop this from opening. Would that have been why I was getting the 'sync in progress' message?

    You can use a third-party Mac application like Senuti to move music from your iPad to your iTunes library.
    It's normal for iPhoto to start when you connect an iPad with photos in its camera roll.

  • What is the difference between iPad 3 and macbook pro

    I was going to buy an ipad 3 o macbook pro but Im not sure if I should send extra and get a macbook pro or get and ipad 3 which does just about everything I want to do

    Unfortunately, most of the apps you listed are more like toys on iOS compared to the dekstop counterparts.
    But they may be perfectly adequate for the original posters intended use (as they are for the thousands of people who use them daily). And iPhoto on iOS has a few features the desktop version doesn't yet.
    One cannot really consider the iPad as a serious (doing more than just creating some quick holiday videos / edit photos) programming / video or image editor tool.
    Professional musicians have created whole albums on the iPad. http://www.t3.com/features/gorillaz-ipad-album-how-it-was-made
    Music videos have been created on the iPad: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/03/17/music-video-shot-with-only-an-ipad-2/
    How seriously it can be used depends on what you are using it for, and your intended end result. Obviously it's not going to create the same type of work that can be created using $5000 worth of desktop computer and pro software, but then it cost 1/10th of that.
    As we don't know panuccio11's intended usage (serious, fun, pro, amateur) we can't really say if it will suit his needs. But it's not correct to say it can't be used to create content, as the above examples and available apps prove.

  • My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library

    My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library
    In my iTunes library on my Macbook Air everything is OK but whenever I syncronise after an update a back up is made and then re-loaded.
    Can I delete this back up somehow and load direct from my iTunes Library ?

    Depending upon what problem that you are having with the Music app, have you tried closing the Music app via the iPad's taskbar and seeing if that helps ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't help then you can delete your music from your iPad and re-sync it back to it. A device's backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music and Videos apps, when you do a restore it gets those from your computer's iTunes library and not from within the actual backup, so deleting the backup shouldn't make any difference to that - if you want to delete the iPad's backup from your Mac then go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), and on the Devices tab select the iPad backup and click the 'Delete Backup' button.

  • How can I transfer files to my ipad from my MacBook

    I can't figure out how to transfer files that aren't a part of iCloud to my iPad Air from my MacBook Pro.
    Any suggestions about how to do this?
    I can't even get my music to automatically sync either. Only about 20 songs out of 800 will sync and most of them are just legal downloads from soundcloud. Others were dropboxed files from friends so I don't know where most of them came from, but some of them are original works because I have a lot of friends who are music producers.
    I am mostly concerned about photos, music and videos that won't transfer.

    if I plug my ipad to my macbook nothing happens except it charges.  no screen prompt like I would expect.

  • Sync iPad music back to my iBook

    iTunes on my iBook has the exclamation point by songs. I have to find the files individually if I can find them. Tried to sync my iPad music back to the iBook and it didn't work. How can I get iTunes to find the complete file or get my iPad to sync the music back to my iBook, running Mac OS X 10.5.8 don't know why iTunes  did that . Thanks

    It wouldn't disappear unless it was moved or deleted. All content should also be backed up.
    If they were purchased you can simply transfer

    For non-purchased just grab a 3rd party program to get onto computer

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
