How do i Get music from my iPad to a new MacBook Pro

I have a lot of music on my iPad and want to get it onto my new MacBook Pro. It seems to want to sync the MacBook to the iPad which will wipe out all my music since the MacBook has nothing on it. How do I sync from iPad to MacBook?

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

  • How do i get music from my iPhone to my new MacBook?

    How can i get music to transfer from my iPone 4s to my new MacBook Air? iPone was backed up to a HP computer that crashed before i bought the MacBook.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you failed to backup, then you may be able to purchases a third party program to get the other music from the iphone.

  • HT2518 how do i transfer Apps from my iPad to my new Macbook pro

    I am trying to sell my old iPad for a new one with more space, and i have also recently purchased a macbook. What i want to know is how to seamlessly transfer all my APPS, and other files. I have game apps, stoarge apps like skydrive, evereader pro, and other Productivity apps such as iWriter where i have a lot of write-ups in it. With iWriter App, worse case scenarios is that i'll painstakingly copy and paste all that i have written in it; however, this isn't achievable with files I have stored in various folders on my other storage apps i downloaded from the apple store.
    in short, i'd like some help with wiping my ipad clean without losing all that i currently have in it

    Thanks for your reply. I will try your suggestion regarding backing up old device. As for the apps i downloaded, i have no issues downloading them again but what about the ones i had purchased? that's the first question. Secondly, like i mentioned in my original question, a few of the apps i downloaded already have in them files i have copied in (e.g. evereader pro) and some of them like the iWriter and e-Bibles which have write-ups and annotations/highlights respectively. I  would like to know how to (if it's possible, that is) copy those apps into my new device without losing my writings, annotations, saved files etc

  • How do you import music from my iPhone to my new MacBook Pro without loosing non-purchased music?

    I recently purchased my first MacBook Pro. I am trying to import my music from my iphone to my Mac and itunes, but I do not want to sync it because I have downloaded music from previous CD's that I do not want to loose. It says that I can only transfer "Purchased" music into my itunes library? I can I transfer ALL my music from my iphone to my computer and into itunes????

    Syncing is NOT limited to purchases music. You do not need to purchase anything, just learn how to select and sync (not upload) thru iTunes. What does "not let me upload" mean? What is occurring when you try and what are you doing?
    A PDF iPhone iOS 5 user guide is here. You can also download it as a free iBook.

    How do i put apps from my iPad 2 onto my macbook pro?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean to back them up, just connect the device to iTunes and sync.
    If you mean to use, you can't, those apps will only run on a mobile device.

    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I get all my music from my iPhone onto my new macbook pro's iTunes? My old laptop is broken.

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro as my old Macbook broke. I want to transfer all the music from my iPhone onto the iTunes of my new Macbook Pro, however I cannot do this by moving the tracks onto an external hardrive from the old computer to the new as the old is broken. I've looked at lots of different forums etc. on the internet and I've still had no luck! Please help me !

  • HT1386 How do I sync music from my iPad to my new iPhone?

    How do I sync music, notes, calendar from my iPad to my new iPhone? Not having success with iCloud for some reason.

    You can sync content like music using iTunes as the vehicle in order to transfer content from one device to another. This support artcile might be helpful. You can sync and transfer purchases from the iPad and then sync the phone by setting up the sync preferences in iTunes for the phone.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also download the music to the phone from the purchased tab in iTunes - on the phone, but it goes much quicker of you sync the content from iTunes.
    If you want to sync notes, calendar entries using iCloud, and assuming that you have iCloud enabled on both devices, make sure that you turned these items on in the settings in Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On and the same for notes. You have to have an iCloud email account in order to sync this content unless you are syncing via your email account and that would have to be set up as well in Settings>Mail, contacts and calendars.
