Cannot transfer playlist with songs from iPad 1st gen to laptop Win7 computer

I have a 1st gen iPad with a playlist on it that I want to tranfer to my laptop. The laptop computer is authorized with Apple. I have the iPad cabled to the laptop using the Apple charging cable with the USB connector plugged into a USB port on the laptop.
I DO NOT want to create a backup of the iPad on the laptop nor do I want to synchronize everything on the iPad with the laptop. I want ONLY TO transfer the songs in a playlist into iTunes on the laptop.
Is this possible? If so, what do I need to do. I have iCloud on the iPad but not on the laptop.
TIA

The transfer purchases option is only for music purchased from the iTunes store.
Now, as regards the other music, there will be a reluctance to answer this question here because legally the music your friend left on the iPod is not yours to keep.
Apple frowns on posts asking how to share copyrighted material.
And that's why Apple have not provided an option to transfer such music from iPod to computer.

My old PC died but hard drive is still functional. Purchased new PC and downloaded latest iTunes but attempts to transfer folder with songs from old hard disk to new computer failed. Only 20 of approx 300 songs transferred ??

My old PC died but the hard drive is still functional and accessible using a USB extraction device. I purchased a new PC and downloaded the latest iTunes but attempts to transfer the iTunes folder with songs from the old hard drive to my new computer failed. Only 20 of approx 300 songs transferred. All other non music file transfers (WORD, EXCEL, etc) from the old hard drive to the new computer were successful. Is this a file type issue? Any thoughts?? THANKS!

I now have itunes for windows 8 on my laptop and I cannot transfer a new song from my library to a playlist on my iPad mini using IOS 8.1.3

I upgraded to iTunes for windows on my Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop. I have not done any iTunes manipulations for many months. I just purchased a new song. I now have IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad Mini and I tried to move the new song from my library from my purchased file to a playlist. I can no longer click and drag the song from anything to the playlist. In addition, when I sync my iPad to my laptop none of my music from the iPad shows up in iTunes on the computer. Why does Apple continuously mess around with the simple actions of the program. It is very disheartening to be treated like this as a long time customer. This has happened so many times that I am getting the feeling that they seem to enjoy screwing up the users ability to use the program

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Check system requirements:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The main issue might be having too little RAM. Most computers run newer systems more smoothly with more RAM than Apple says is a "minimum" for running that system version
After installing 10.6.3 run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

The new system should install on top of the old one. That said, things have been known to go wrong and it makes sense to do a backup before installing the new system. In fact you seem to care about your files and things so you need to always have a backup because one day you will wake up and you hard drive will be dead and everrything on it gone. Buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or something to back up. The other risk is when you install the new iTunes. It doesn't happen frequently given the millions of users but there are daily posts here from people who for some reason the installation wiped out their whole library. If you have a backup then there's nothing to worry about.
This is well within what many people can do at home. It's a matter of inserting an optical disc and clicking you way through menus.

Transferring Kindle books from iPad 1st Gen to iPad mini.

I have lots of books on my 1st Gen iPad in the Kindle App. I now own an iPad Mini. How do I transfer the previous purchases from 1st Gen iPad to the Mini?
Thanks.

Although someone here may be able to help, you may get a better response reposting in the iPad forums (this is Intel iMacs):

Accessing Time Capsule from iPad 1st Gen.

I want to access my Time Capsule from my iPad 1st Generation, but the option to "Set up an AirPort Base Station" is not showing up on the iPad's "Wi-Fi Networks" screen.

"All you need to do is plug in your Time Capsule and connect it to your DSL or cable modem. Then simply select your Time Capsule in Wi-Fi settings in iOS 5, or from the Wi-Fi menu in OS X Lion, and follow the instructions."
I understand this to mean that you would configure the iPad to connect to the wireless network that the Time Capsule is providing. So, it would connect just like any other computer.
You select the wireless network, enter the password to connect and you are on the network.
AirPort Utility would only be used if you have a brand new Time Capsule that you want to configure.
If you are asking if the iPad can "read" normal files on the Time Capsule (not Time Machine backups), then you will need an app like App Store - FileBrowser - Access files on remote computers (and Time Capsule)
Really sounds like you have questions for the iPad Support Area. Please follow up there:

I cannot transfer large home videos from iPad to Windows XP

I have tried third party apps, copy and paste. Cannot get my home videos to transfer to my PC.

I am new to Apple products. This is very confusing to me. I can see my iPad in divices under camera and scanners. When I click on the icon I only have a few choices for transfering. For small videos I can use Scanner and Camera Wizzard with no problems. Anything over 500mb will not transfer. I have also tried PhotoSync, but I cannot get a connection. I have tried to drag and drop, copy and paste. I called Apple support and they had no solution. I just know there has to be a way to get my home videos from the iPad to my PC Windows XP Pro.

HT1373 Why can't I transfer all the songs from iPad into iTune on my new Macbook Air?

I've recently purchased the new Mackbook Air 2013 model , OSX MT 10.8.4 , iTunes 11.0.5
And here's my problem, I connected my iPad to iTunes and thought all the songs
would be transfered automatically to iTunes library, but appearantly only haf of them did with iCloud icons next to the song's name.
Another thing that I noticed is that all the songs in the library are the ones I purchased on iPhone quite a while ago (I share iTunes account on both devices)
but for those recently I purchased on iPad are just not there.
So I'd like to ask you guys how to figure out this problem.
Many thanks.

It works, thank you so much

Can anyone assist in that. Thanks

No, it's easier to post here in the forum... that's what the forum is intended for.
What kind of files are you transferring?
You have several options, according to what you want to do.
KB15643 What is BlackBerry Media Sync?
Also, you can simply connect your BlackBerry via USB cable to the PC. Now, your Media Card on the 8520 should appear in your PC file structure as a "removable drive" sometimes either driver letter e, f, or g. From there, you can simply drag and drop files from your PC to your Media Card as if it were another folder on your PC.

Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there. What could be happening? What am I doing wrong?

I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists. Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist. I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

Hi Demo,
Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
The iPad is first generation
OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
Thank you in advance for your time

I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife. I restored it to original factory conditions. Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7. What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional except for the fact that you cannot updrade the iOS above version 5?

Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.
