How do I transfer songs from my iPad to my computer

I just got an iPad...I bought songs on iTunes but I don't know how to transfer the songs from my iPad to my computer

You can use the transfer the purchases feature to put the music into itunes on your computer. Read the instructions copied from......
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. To authorize, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Authorize button.
If the iTunes Store purchases on your device were purchased with multiple accounts, you will need to authorize the computer for each one.To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
Click the Transfer Purchases button.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
iTunes will begin copying any purchases made with any account for which the computer is authorized.
If when you connect your device you are not prompted by the dialog above, it could be that the option "Do not ask me again" was previously selected. Fortunately, there are two more ways you can copy your purchases from your device.
After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from "Your device name" from the File menu.
Or, you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library.

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPad to my iTunes library?

    How can I transfer songs from my iPad to my iTunes account?  I want to update my iPads but I don't want to lose all the songs that aren't in my iTunes account yet.

    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). If any of the music wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program which copy them over - there are some listed half-way down this page.
    You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPad to my nano iPod

    How to I transfer songs I have purchased on my iPad to my  iPod nano?

    If you want to copy music that is on your iPad to your iPod Shuffle, you'll need to copy it from the iPad and into iTunes first. Then configure your iPod so that it syncs the desired content from your iTunes library.
    For iTunes purchases, you can transfer them from your iPad to iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer purchases while the iPod is hooked up.
    What's more, you can refer these articles about transferring iPad music to iPod:
    For PC: How to transfer iPad music/video to iPod on Windows
    For Mac: How to transfer iPad music/video to iPod on Mac OS
    Hope that can help you a lot.

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPod to my computer?

    I just recently had to get my computer re formatted and it was so screwed up they were not even able to get into my music files to back them up on discs. Is there a way to connect my iPod to my computer and transfer the songs from my iPod to my computer without destroying my music files or losing them? I heard if I do this it will enter all my songs as number sequences... is there anyway I can have the songs entered as their normal titles???

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How do you transfer songs from an iPhone to a computer

    My laptop bit the dust so I had to replace it.  I am trying to transfer songs from my iphone to the new laptop but the "sync" function only works in the other direction and would errase all the songs on my iphone.  Any suggestions?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use it to put everything back.

  • TS1815 How do i transfer fotos from my ipad to my computer?

    how to transfer fotos from ipad to computer.

    Hi,
    If fact, there are 3 methods to get photos to an iOS device and since all of them will put pictures in the photo rolls, only the photo roll is natively synced to a PC (3 methods are taking pic with the device, wi-fi transfert from camera to iOS device and Apple photo connector).
    Your issue is that you are trying to recover photos from your iPad since you lost access from your original device from which you synced those.  But even if you don't have the recover function natively on your iPad, there are plenty of third-party apps that should allow you to do that like this one; http://www.iphone-to-ipad.com/blog/transfer-photos-iphone-computer-wi-fi.html
    Given said that I never used myself such apps, so the one above is just an exemple and not a recommandation.  You could look on the App Store or Google to find one you would like.

  • How can I transfer songs from my IPOD to the computer?

    I had a computer issue and some songs in Itunes got erased, they are however on my IPOD still. I used to get a message that askedme if I wanted to transfer music that was on my IPOD to the computer and the answer was usually no - so i clicked the box "Dont ask again" and now I need it. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

    I had a similar problem. Download a program called "Yamipod" and it will allow to copy the music back into iTunes. I did it with about 5300 songs and it worked fine. Keep in mind the program runs off the iPod, so no installation on the computer is necessary.

  • HT201302 I have Windows 7, but Hardware and Sound is not listed in my Control Panel. So, how do I transfer videos from my ipad to my computer?

    I am trying to transfer videos that I've recorded with my ipod camera to my computer. The option to auto play does not pop up when I plug in my ipod, so I looked up how to do this manually. Apple support websites told me to go to Control Panel and then Hardware and Sound, but Hardware and Sound is not listed in my control panel options. What other options do I have? I own a Dell laptop and I have Windows 7.

    Does the iPod show in My Computer? If so then go to My Computer>iPod>DCMI Folder and copy them from there to where you want them

    You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
    Look at this app .... TouchCopy
