How to play my own music on iPad2

As part of starting up the new iPad2, I downloaded the iTunes from my iMac. Did I not also download all my music in the process? If so, how do I get to view and play my music on the iPad2? It appears that I can only buy more music from the iTunes store, but I'm sure I'm missing the obvious. What is the obvious; how do I get to play my music on the iPad2 please?

The music (and any audiobooks) that you synced go into the iPod app (films and TV shows would go into the Videos app). On the iPad the iTunes app is just the iTunes store.

How to make my own music videos?

Ok,
so this might be a rather stupid question.
But I gotta ask.
I would very much like to use the TV shows and music that I bought via Itunes to make
my own music videos. I just got a new macbook pro...
Is there a way to do that?
Do I need a complicated/expensive software?
Is itunes locked against such use?
Does Mac come with it's own software for that?
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me out.
Even if just to say ..no way girl!
Thanks ahead

Your assumption is incorrect. Whether the content is being used to make money or not doesn't matter, nor does it matter whether you paid for the content or not. You get rights only to play the content, not to repurpose it and use it for something else without a license to do so, though again "fair use" comes into play. In addition, the terms of sale for the iTunes Store prohibit use of anything obtained from them for other than your own personal use, which therefor prohibits posting or distributing in any fashion to anyone else.
And yes, at least some videos in YouTube may well be illegal, which is why the content owners such as Viacom have filed lawsuits against YouTube over the years. Or the creators of the videos may have obtained permission to use the content, or the video may fall within the "fair use" guidelines. This isn't the place to disuss "fair use" since it is too complex and vague a subject to address without a lot of discussion.
Finally, again, TV shows from the iTunes Store are copy protected and cannot be edited even if you believe they would fall under "fair use", as are a number of music videos, though not all.
Regards.

How to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time?

Hi guys, need help regarding Realtek HD audio driver
I want to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time.... not for recording purposes but in chatroom let's say.
I'm using XP...Toshiba Satellite S4747 laptop
In the Realtek software under " Realtek HD audio input" I have mic and stereo mix both.... but I can only select one at a time.....
Any solutions plzzz thxxxx
On a different note.... a friend of mine whose using one non-Toshiba laptop with win XP has an older version of the Realtek audio driver and can select both mic and stereo mix at the same time... I downloaded that version into my laptop but I still can only select one at a time....

Check the audio settings in Windows and dont forget in Realtek HD audio manager. You can find it in control panel.
I think your microphone is set to mute so check this.

How to play iTunes and music from external hard drive?

I recently back up all my music from my old computer on to an external hard drive. I have a new computer but don't want to store all the music on the computer's hard drive. I would rather play iTunes and all the music straight off of the hard drive. How do I do this?
I already downloaded and installed iTunes on my external hard drive and my music is on a separate folder. When I open iTunes it says that I have no music in the library. How do I tell iTunes to use all the music from the external hard drive? I do not want to save anything on my computer's internal hard drive if possible because I do not have enough space.
Thanks for the help. Also, if I should clarify anything else then please just let me know!

did you ever find the answer to this question? I have the same problem

How to play iPhone 5 music through an old stereo receiver?

I have an old stereo receiver hooked up to a home speaker system and I would like to play music from my iPhone 5?
How can I do this?

Police won't take a report.
The judge simply rolls her eyes, even with his admittal he has phone and has used it to stalk me.
What can a lawyer do? None of my three lawyers felt there was anything they could do.
However, if Apple, as I was told by AT&T, could trace the location of the first iPhone to his physical address, I could link the offenses.

How to play my itunes music when offline

Hello there, I just recently got my new ipad, but whenever i go out, I cant seem to play my movies or music in offline mode, which really annoys me, is there a way of playing music or movies without having net, would love to know how to.
Kind Regards,
Passive.

You either sync your iPad to your computer's iTunes library (which does not require you to remain connected to the internet because they're transferred right to the iPad from your computer), or you use iTunes Match (a paid service) which requires an internet connection, but only for items which have not yet been downloaded from iCloud.
If you're not using iTunes Match, disregard the difference. I suspect that you don't use it, and what you're seeing are iTunes purchases which you have not synced from your computer's library -- if they're not installed on the iPad, they'll appear on the iPad with a cloud next to them and if you want to play them then they have to be downloaded, which of course requires an internet connection.
I find it best to always keep the computer's iTunes library current, and to sync the iPad to the library to keep it current too. If you buy something from the computer, but have not yet synced it to the iPad, you can download it to the iPad (internet) if you want, or sync to the computer to load it (no internet).
If you are using iTunes Match, then not everything may be located on the iPad and thus you'll need an internet connection to download the item for playback.

How to play you own movies on i PAD2

Drag your movie into iTunes.
Select the movie, and go to menu "Advanced > Create iPad or Apple TV version".
Select your iPad in iTunes.
Click on the "Movies" tab.
Check the "Sync Movies" box.
Select the Movies you want to sync.
Press the "Sync" button.
You can skip step "2" if the file is already an MP4 file meeting the requirements of the iPad.

Photos: how to play slideshow withOUT music?

Does anyone know how to do this in the new Photos when running it in Yosemite? I don't EVER want to hear music during a slideshow, so I'd love to turn it off in preferences. But I would settle for just knowing out to do it whenever I launch a slideshow.

In the slideshow click on the Music button at the right.
Move the cursor up to the small window at the top and the X button will appear when you're over it. Click on the X and the selected music track will be removed.

How to play my computer music on my iPad

I want to put play on my computer iTunes and the music would soundtrack on my iPod touch that is in a sounddock, is ther a war to do that???

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

Looking for some info on how to play music files on IPAD2

Hi and thanks for sharing. Trying to figure out how to play sound files such as wavs or mp3s on my ipad2 while I browse the internet or use my computer. I was trying to see if the music feature will play my songs or if I can import downloaded files from the net to itunes and if that will play in the background. I have an audio program that can send sound files to email and was trying to figure out how, similarly, to get this play in the background while I do things too. That and sound files downloaded from the internet. Do these go to iCloud when you download them? Can I import sounds into itunes with my iPad someway. (It's the only computer or device I own). Basically looking for a pathway to get music from my audio program that's sent to email, and clips I've DLed off sites on the internet, to play while I use the pad or browse the net. Thanks for your intel on the mission. Cheers!

The only way to get content into the Music app is via iTunes store downloads or syncing with itunes on a computer. You will need to find a third party media player such as VLC (whick integrates with DropBox and GoogleDrive, if that appeals to you).

I have an iTunes account with music. My wife has an iTunes account with apps. How do I get both on our iPad2? Without syncing to just one account?

I have an iTunes with music and videos. My wife has an iPhone with music and apps. How do I get both on our iPad2?
Without syncing to just one account?
We each have our own laptops.

Hmm.
Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

How to play music from NAS to iTunes on MAC and PC (Win7)?

I have NAS in my home network and would like to play music stored on NAS to play in iTunes on MAC; iPad2, iPhone4 and PC which has Windows 7.
I have already changed iTunes Media folder location under 'Advanced' pointing to NAS music folder. Once all this done, I see exclamation i in front of the every song in iTunes.
Can some one please help me. I went to Apple store and ask this question, but no one seems to able to help me.
Thanks

Just seeing this as I was browsing for a way to stream music from my NAS drive to an airplay capable receiver. I've been using the "filebrowser" app on my iPad and iPhone 4 and am very happy with it. It allows me to access my NAS drive from both devices and stream music and video to said devices. For example: I dock my phone in the kitchen and use filebrowser to play music directly from the NAS...it works great. I also use it to stream bike training videos to my iPad while I'm riding on a trainer in my basement. The native controls are very user friendly for both mp3's and video mp4's. I'm not huge on apple programs(iTunes for music playback) as they are usually restrictive and don't play nicely with other non apple devices...for $3, filebrowser should do the trick for you....now I have to figure out how to stream from the NAS to a pioneer brand airplay capable receiver without using iTunes.

How can I control the music that plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

I don't want to make my parents listen to Breaking Benjamin music as they watch my photo slide shows on Apple TV. Need something more sedate. But if a B.B. song is in my iTunes music library, it is a candidate for random selection as background music for my slide shows. How do I control what music plays during Apple TV photo slide shows?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.
