How do I sync all of my iTunes music library to my ipad?

I have a mixture of downloaded & imported songs in iTunes  on my laptop. All sync perfectly with my iPhone but when I tried to sync with my new ipad, it only seems to carry over downloaded songs rather than the whole music library. I have all devices set to sync automatically over wi-fi when plugged in. But even connecting the ipad by USB cable doesn't seem to work. Any ideas please?

Did you try "unsyncing" all of your songs from the iPad - which will remove them, and then sync them all back to the device?

  • How do I sync my PC with ITunes 11.1 to my IPad Mini with IOS 7.02?

    How do I sync my PC with Itunes 11.1 to my Ipad Mini with IOS 7.02? My PC tells me I can't sync as Ipad requires Itunes 11.1

    hey all....
    i too have the itunes (version 11.1.1)
    and ipad with iOS (version 7.0.2)
    Initially i had problems with syncing,
    i unistalled the itunes software alongwith the associated softwares by Apple Inc., and again downloaded the itunes from apple website, that solved my problem.
    The issue may be with the media file you are trying to sync, there are a few type of files that the itunes doesn't sync with your ipad.
    Hope this helps!!!!!

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • How do I sync all other items when iPhoto library offline?

    I have an iPhoto library which is on an external drive and not always connected to my MacBook Air. Previous to iOS 5.x and the related iTunes 10.5.x, I am fairly certain that I was able to perform a full sync to the iPhone (songs, apps, podcasts, videos) and it would simply ignore the fact that my iPhoto library was not present and skip it. Essentially all photos would be retained on the phone and everything else available would sync.
    It appears that now when the iPhoto library is not available I receive a visual warning (exclamation symbol next to iPhone) and the sync completes without synchronizing podcasts. Apps however are synchronized.
    Is there a way to sync all items when the iPhoto library is unavailable?

  • TS4062 Have lost itunes music library from my iPad

    Cannot access my iTunes music library from my iPad3.  It was working fine until I installed iTunes on my netbook (windows 7) yesterday.  That seemed to result in losing my music library on the iPad.  I also have the iTunes account on a desktop pc.  Any suggestions as to what caused this and how to fix it?  Thanks!

    iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library.
    You probably allowed syncing of your iPad when you plug it to your Netbook which was previously synced with your PC (by the way, you posted on the iTunes for Mac forum).  It that time, you must have seen a popup warning telling you that your iPad is synchronized with another iTunes libray.
    If you sync your iOS device with an empty iTunes library, it will result in deleting everything on it.  In you case, you should plug back your iPad in your PC and then, select to restore it from your latest backup.

  • How do I put all of my iTunes music from multiple computers / devices onto one external hard drive?

    I have two desktop macs, a macbook air, two iPads, and two iPhones.  I have one Apple account that I use for all music - including music my college aged kids download.  My problem is that I would like to get all the music into one library, delete the duplicates, then have the external drive store all the music.  Is there a practical way to do this?  This way I can set up my devices so that they all have the same music and playlists.  Is this the best way to handle this situation?

    The cheap and easy way is to just add all the media files as new items to a new library configured to store all on the external drive (start iTunes with the option key held down and tell it to create a new library on the external).  There won't be any automated way to prevent duplicates.  You're doing manual spring cleaning.  Of course if you add all the items as new items you will lose things such as playlists, date added, last played, etc.
    I got these off the web so cannot rate them for you:

  • How do I find all songs in my music library that has lyrics entered in it?

    For songs, there is the "Lyrics" field to enter lyrics for that song. A small number of songs in my massive music library has lyrics entered in this field. How do I filter my music library to find these songs that have lyrics entered?

    Thanks, works great. Used the script to add all songs without lyrics to "No Lyrics" playlist, then created a Smart Playlist with the criteria:
    - Is NOT in "No Lyrics" playlist
    - Media type is "Music"
    And then I've found all my songs with lyrics. I just had to edit each song individually in the Lyrics tab, select all the lyrics, hit delete, then hit Next to continue through them all. It took about 5–10 minutes for about 125 songs.

  • How can I know how much Gb I have in my iTunes music library

    I am thinking about buying a new iPhone which can store all my music. Therefor I would like to know how much Gb my library in iTunes now has to have an idea of what iPhone to buy (and save for). How can I easily check that?

    Liza,
    Also check out the "convert higher bit rate songs..." feature.  It can put smaller size versions of the songs onto your device, without changing the library copy at all. This helps you get more out of your iPhone storage space.
    It is very easy to use, although it may run slowly the first time you use it.

  • How do I move my iTunes music library off my computer and onto Time Capsule, which I want to use as an external hard drive?

    Does anyone know how I can move my very large iTunes music library folder off the computer and onto my fourth generation time capsule, which I'd like to use as an external hard drive?

    This Apple support document may help.
    Do you also plan to use the Time Capsule disk for Time Machine backups?  If so, that approach has problems.  For one, you don't be backing up your music library.  For another, eventually Time Machine will consume all the space on that disk, which will cause problems for your music.

    I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
    If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.
