Can't sync music from Windows PC to iPad Retina

I've a newly purchased iPad Retina. Unfortunately I can't sync music from my Windows PC to iPad. I tried with the best practice, muisc appears with a cloud circle at the left most column in the device shown in the iTune. I'm puzzled as I'm an user of iPod and have never faced such problem earlier.

The cloud symbol means your music is in the cloud-not on the PC.
Download the music onto the PC,

Can you sync music from windows windows media

I synced music from windows media player onto my ipod nano. Windows media says it's all downloded but none of the songs show up on my ipod. Why is that? Can you not sync music from windows media player even though windows media player lets you?

Hi,
You probably have your nano's disk-use enabled. This enables you to use your iPod as an external disk. Windows Media Player does sync music, but it only transfer it to the iPod as normal data file you put into it, which iPod Nano will not show the songs in the player, but if you access the iPod from My Computer, you might able to see the files.
Meanwhile, iPod only read and understands files that synced into it by using iTunes. The songs are renamed and put into the iPod filesystem hiddenly. If the above information contains errors, please correct me.
Regards,
Siau.

Also, you can try the “SYNC” option in the Windows Media Player, after connecting the Reader to the Computer, for transferring the songs.

If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
I have used Pod2Mac. There is also Pod2PC.
There are numerous choices, some free, some payed. Do a Google search.

How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

iTunes will only sync with Apple devices. You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive. You can drag files from iTunes to that drive. You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ. We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection. Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store. If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.

ITunes is telling me it can't sync data from my iPhone or iPad at the moment. Any ideas why, please?

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

Why can't I sync music from my mac to iPad?

I'm having trouble syncing music from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. I have some music that is already transferred, but I can't seem to add new music. Any suggestions?

Hi Zane
Yes, I do that each time, but it makes no difference. I've had an iPhone with music on for ages, and this issue only happened when I update to iTunes 11 earlier on in the year.

HT1535 Can I sync music from a different pc that isn't the main pc connected to my iPhone?

My daughters iPhone 4 is connected to another pc and I'm trying to sync music from my pc and it says it wiill erase all data and sync to my pc and i dont want her to lose all of her photos and apps or anything else she has... PLEASE HELP

Grrrr, this is annoying! My library is on my iMac back in Belgium. Now I am working in Tanzania for 2 months and want to download the free U2 album to my iPhone but cannot :-(
Is there no way I can upload the album without deleting all content on my phone? Surely there must be a fix to upload legal content from multi libraries/PCs?

Can't sync music from iTunes 11 to iPhone 4 since getting iOS 6.1

IPhone 4, iOS 6.1
Basically, plugged in my phone to put a new cd on, and as it started I noticed the 'other' bar was huge and iTunes was saying my phone was 6gb over capacity and was still trying to sync apps I'd deleted a month before, so stopped the process thinking it was damaging my phone.
I then, thinking the phone had backed up, deleted all pictures to make some space and tried to sync again. The same happened.
Next I decided to update the iOS to 6.1 and try again. This is when I started not being able to syncs anything. Music, film, photos, tv shows, nothing.
The sync will start and the phone capacity bar shows will show how much space will be taken up and the sync skips to the end and nothing has been synced. In iTunes in the music view under devices on tje left the files are greyed out with the sync in progress icon next to them.
I have also got a 'connection has been list to the iPhone' error message which I really don't understand as they are connected via USB and the phone is still mounted in iTunes.
Since then I have tried every different connotation of settings through iTunes to no avail. I've backup and restored, I've restored to a new phone but with no results at all.
I have read 20 or discussions on The Apple forums and it seems that loads of slightly different solutions have worked for lots of different people and I also know many people are completely unaffected by this, but I use my phone more as an iPod than phone.
It's proper frustrating, especially when Apple release a software update for iPhone 4S users but not iPhone 4 owners.
Oh and today it also seemed to be flakey in terms 3G connections.
Oh and since Christmas I haven't been able to use home sharing as it won't finish connecting, it just stops!

Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

IOS6.1: Can't sync music from another computer?

Previously on 5.1.1 this worked just fine, no I seem to be having problems. Has Apple updated allowances across multiple computers?
I sync and backup my phone to MacBook Pro 1. From here I maintain my iPhone and sync some photos. I sync music from MacBook Pro 2 by dragging and dropping. Manually manage music & videos is checked on both computers when iPhone is plugged in. Both MB Pros are almost the same spec and same OS.
Problem is, when I plug the iphone back into MacBook Pro 1 after adding music from MacBook Pro 2 it removes all the tracks I have synced?
Anyone managing to still do this or has something changed in iOS6.1? Or am I missing something in iTunes 10?

I discovered that my MB Pro 2 had been deauthorized from my iTunes account. Re-authorized and works just fine!

Can't sync music from iTunes to my New iPad. Need help pn this.

Do you have the music selected to sync in iTunes? Do you have Manually Manage Songs and Videos selected as an option in iTunes?

Thanks.

You can sync music and other content to an iPad via your computer's iTunes (a free download from here) - you don't have to purchase anything in order to use the program. You can buy music from Apple, from other sites and/or copy your own CDs via iTunes, and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.

I don't know what country that you are in, but there is a Kindle app available for the iPad in a number of countries (the app is free) which can be linked to your Amazon account so you can download your kindle ebooks into it. There are also Nook and Kobo ereader apps.
There are also a number of PDF reader apps for the iPad, some of them free like Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and some which are paid-for which are more powerful e.g. GoodReader.
Films can be purchased from Apple, or there are other sites such as Netflix with their own apps. The iPad natively supports a number of video formats (they are listed on this page).
There is a manual for the iPad here which has some info on it's built-in apps (plus iBooks which is a free download) : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
