How do I transfer music from my ipod or macbook pro to my ipad

Once again, how do I transfer my music from my ipod or itunes library to my ipad?

You have 2 separate questions.
One is getting stuff from iTunes to your iPad.  The other is getting stuff from the iPod to anything else.
By default, you can't transfer anything from iDevices to iTunes.  There are several third party programs, however, that allow you to do this.
Getting stuff from iTunes to the iPad is a case of plugging in the iDevice and dragging-dropping the files you want to your device.  Or syncing the relevant stuff.  There is plenty of literature on this available in iTunes or on the Apple site.
Hope that answers your question.

    How do you transfer music from my macbook pro to someone's Ipad?

    This doesn't appear to be an option anymore. 
    I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
    Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
    You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.

  • Transfer Music from Windows iPod to MacBook Pro

    I just bought my daugter a Macbook Pro to replace her Windows laptop. All her music is on her Wiindows iPod and her Windows laptop. Can I move her music to new MacBook pro and then switch her iPod to a Mac sync ipod without screwing up her music?
    Thanks.

    Hello Richard,
    There are several different potential methods for accomplishing this task. You can either use a CD/DVD to back up and transfer the library, an external hard drive, or the iPod itself.
    For instructions on how to make this possible with the iPod, check out this Apple support document. There is also a link at the top that will bring you to the page with instructions if you want to back up to CD or DVD.

    The last option is an external hard drive of some sort. A simple Google search for "move iTunes library external hard drive" should give you a plethora of sites that can assist you.
    Just make sure that with whatever route you take, that you carefully read the instructions and don't miss any steps.
    The last step you will have to take is to restore the iPod via iTunes once you have safely transferred the library to your new computer so that the iPod can associate itself with the new library and location. Here are instructions on how to restore your iPod.

  • How do I transfer music from iBook to my MacBook Pro?

    Trying to transfer my iTunes library to my new MBP.
    Is firewire the best method?
    Thanks for any help.

    You should ask your question to the Itunes forum.
    Personnally I did use the migration assistant that not only copied my Itunes over but also all my settings and mails and safari preferences..
    A simpler way would be to copy your whole Itune folder BEFORE running Itunes for the first time on your MBP.

    how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

    I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
    Thanks!

    True. My mistake. I didn't see it.

    I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

    The ipod is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything back using your backup copy.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my MacPro?

    How can I transfer music from my iPod Classic to my current MacPro laptop? I thought I could "Match" them but from what I am reading in this process it seems to want to delete the music in my  iPod during the process and then upload music from my MacPro library...

    You can use a third-party utility such as iExplorer - iPhone, iPad Music & File Transfer App for Mac & PC. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store you can also re-download it: Download past purchases. Also, see iTunes Store- Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
