Can't sync iTunes music to an iPad?

I am a student with a school issued iPad.
When I got my iPad a year ago, I backed it up to the my apple ID. I didn't sync anything to it.
So, now, nearing my next year in school, I wanted to sync my old content to my iPad. I successfully backed up all my apps for school to the computer to my account. However, when I wanted to sync my old data to my iPad it gave me this message:
The iPad (my iPad) is synced with another iTunes library on “Macintosh.local”. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPad with the contents of this iTunes library.
On an important note, the music I am trying to import is my Dad's. He transferred (I don't know how) all his music to my account a few years ago. This possibly could be the source of my problems. However, I'm pretty sure it's considered to be my music now. It's under my library and my apple ID. If anyone knows how I would be able to sync my music that would be great. However, if there's any risk of me losing data stored on my iPad I don't want to take the risk. This is a school iPad so I have documents that are a lot more important then my old music.
Thanks.

Purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD if you have an iBook G4 or Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD if you have a MacBook. Places such as Amazon sell Mac OS X 10.5, while Apple sells Mac OS X 10.6.

  • Can't sync iTunes music to iPhone

    I'm using iTunes on my MacBook, OS 10.8.5.  My iPhone has IOS 8.1.2.  My iPhone is connected to the Macbook by cable.  Under Summary I have checked Automatically Back Up "This Computer".  Under Options I have checked "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and "Sync only checked songs and videos.  I only use iTunes on the MacBook to sync my music collection to my iPhone.  Under Songs I have checked "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres.  Then when I check my music on my iPhone, i find that only half of the genres and none of the playlists have synced. Why can't I do a full sync?  Does anyone have any ideas?  Your help would be very much appreciated.

    Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and get the latest version of iTunes from there.
    Interestingly, you told us what version of iOS and OS X you are running, but not what version of iTunes.
    Your post says you are using OS X 10.8.5, but your profile (below your post) says OS X 10.6.5.  If OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) is correct, then you can run the latest iTunes (12.0.1).

  • Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
    So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
    Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

    How can I access my iTunes music library using my iPad air, both in my home wifi environment and away from home? Music loaded onto iTunes on my home windows PC. Thanks

    Start iTunes on the computer and connect your iPad to your computer. Select your iPad in iTunes on your computer then select the Music tab in the main window. You can choose to sync all music to your iPad or select only those playlists you want on the iPad. When you click on .sync or Apply the selected music will be copied to your iPad.
    You can sun photos this way also.

    my PC has been restored to factory settings, can i sync my music on my ipod with a newly downloaded itunes

    You'll want to copy the music from your iPod to your computer and into iTunes first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering some of the different methods and software available to assist you with this task.  Once you have successfully copied all your content back to your PC and into iTunes, you can safely Erase and Sync your iPod.

    Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

  • Can't sync apps, music or videos on my iPhone4 with iTunes 10.2.2

    I just updated iTunes to 10.2.2 (on 10.2.1 everything was going smoothly) and now it seems that i can't sync anything to my iPhone 4 (fw 4.3.2). I'm using a Windows 7 32-bit OS.
    After selecting any app from the apps tab, iTunes will display the next messages:
    - It will sync the phone just after pressing the apply button;
    - Prepairing to sync;
    - Copying "Angry birds" (this lasts for like 1 second);
    - Determining apps to sync;
    - Finishing sync.
    After this process, on my iPhone, there will not be any new apps installed or any other files (music, videos) copied.
    Any ideeas why is this happening?

    Same Problem but with my iPod Touch 4th gen and that I can't sync my music. I tried re-installing itunes, Creating new playlists, added the music to the playlist then synced but it will not sync my music. I get 'determining tracks to sync' but skips to 'finishing sync'. I can take music off my iPod but can't add it. Fix this apple, this is very frustrating!
