Cannot sync music from itunes library on my laptop to my i pad

Everything including audio books sync but not my music. I tried opening the album and clicking on each song individually and draging it to my i pad icon but that didn't work either.

Sync your iphone 5 to iTunes. Once you haev done that, you should be able to copy the music and other files to your iPhone.

When I try syncing music from my library to my ipod, I get the message that it lost connection. My ipod is plugged in to the computer though. Does anyone know how to fix this?

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

Ipad cannot sync music from itunes

My Ipad 3rd generation can't sync music from itunes after i downloaded IOS 7. Can anyone tell me why?

With your iPad connected to your computer, select the music tab. Is "Sync Music" checked? If not, select the box, then choose either all content, or selected etc.. Keep in mind that you can only sync your iPad with one iTunes library at a time. Trying it from multiple notebooks lead me to assume that you don't have the Sync music option checked.
hope this helps.

Sync music from itune library to iphone

when I tried to sync my music library from my computer (not a mac) to my iphone, I kept getting a message that my computer is not connected to the internet. Somehow, the itune cannot detect that my computer actually is connected to the internet.

Yep, sync makes the content of the iPod/iPhone the same as the library or the selected playlists that you choose for it. New or updated files are copied from the library to the device. Stuff that hasn't changed is left alone. And if you delete any files from the library then the matching files are removed from device next time you sync.

I can't sync music from iTunes Library to iPhone

I've just set up my iPhone and whilst the iPhone syncs all my email, calendars etc, it doesn't sync with the music already in my Library. I've tried manually syncing but a 'no entry' sign comes up. I've unchecked all the music, tried almost everything but my iPhone is still saying no content is downloaded.
Can anyone offer some help or assistance please?
Many thanks
S.

Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, what else is selected under the Music tab?
If you want to manually manage music and videos, this must be selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer music via syncing or manually. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time.

TS4062 cannot sync music from itunes to my new ipod because itunes is under different name

my itunes will not sync with new ipod touch..tunes and ipod have different id

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.

How to sync music from Itunes to iPad without having to restore or erase iPad's content

Hi All,
Now I am trying to sync music from itunes onto my iPad, however when I plug it into my itunes, it comes up with a message saying 'Welcome to the new iPad' and says to set my iPad up already as a new iPad. And when I go to file and click devices, it disables me to open it, so therefore I cannot sync nor backup the iPad. Also there is no backup for this iPad already as it is a fairly new iPad, but already has so much content. Is there any other way to transfer the music from my itunes library to my iPad without having to restore it or even erase the iPad?
Thanks!

I open up iTunes on my PC and then plug in my iPad. It then displays under devices on the left-hand side in iTunes. I then click on my iPad listed under devices. I have the option of clicking the sync button in the lower right hand side of the screen. Once I click sync, then the iPad will visually indicate that it is syncing. When it is finished syncing, the text message will be gone on your iPad and you can then use it. The items should be stored in iPod app on the iPad.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I have an iPod touch 4g. Has all recent up dates but it will not me sync music from my library too my iPod icon at the top of the page.. Plz help
this also happen with my iPhone 4.. I've used the same laptop for both and same iTunes account x

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.
I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works.
I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4. Please help!

I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
Thanks for the effort
