How do I transfer music from iPad to macbook?

I've previously had all music etc on a PC with iPad, iPhone synced to that.  I want to transfer music from my iPad (as it's got all the CDs I laboriously added to my PC!) to my new macbook but can't find how to?  I did try to transfer directly from PC to macbook using migratoin assistant but it dropped wifi constantly so gave up..

You can copy iTunes purchased music from a device via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back from a device - there are some listed half-way down this page : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
There are also other methods of copying music between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you will be syncing the iPad and iPhone to your Mac then you may also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do I transfer music from iBookG4 to MacBook Air?

    How do I transfer music from my old iBookG4 to new MacBook Air?
    I've tried Home Sharing and it also brings across a couple of albums. Help much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.  If you have to use a small flash drive to do the moving you can copy the files and folders groups at a time but make sure they all end up in the same folder structure in the end.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • How do I transfer video from ipad to macbook pro

    How do I transfer video from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?

    Hi MeSwolf,
    You can do it wirelessly with Dropbox. The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos and videos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
    First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
    Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
    Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
    Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos and videos in the Camera Roll.
    From now on, all future photos and videos taken by the iPad will automatically upload to the Dropbox folder. You can then download your photos from Dropbox to your computer by going tohttp://www.dropbox.com, logging in to your account, and downloading the photos and videos.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to transfer music from iPad to MacBook Pro?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and would like to copy the music library from my ipad onto the MacBook. Can anyone advise me please on how to go about it, as I struggle. Many thanks.

    There are two ways:.
    1. A Sync will do it. If it does not work for you, check the various tabs in iTunes and confirm that the appropriate boxes are checked. You can decide which apps, music and videos will be transferred.

  • How do I transfer music from iTouch to Macbook?

    I just got a new Macbook Pro because my old one broke down. I want to know if there is a way to transfer the music I have on my iTouch to this new Macbook. I do not need to know how to sync my iTouch to iTunes.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:

  • How do i transfer photos from ipad to MacBook Pro about 100

    After update to yosemite i have about 150 photos that are on my ipad and not on MacBook Pro.  Is there a way to sync the photos from ipad to computer

    I did sync thro iTunes so will have to import them where i can find them...yuck
    The synced photos should be in an album in the "Albums" tab of your iPod.
    As long as you did not transfer  the synced photos to your computer do on no account activate "iCloud Photo Library Beta" on your iPad. That will wipe all synced photos from the iPad.
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    Email them from the device to yourself.
    Copy them from the emails to your computer.
