How to sync just selected songs to iPad with iOS 5?

I have a lot of music in my iTunes account, acquired from CDs, the iTunes store, etc. and I don't listen to all of it regularly (I like to change it up from time to time); however, I like having it saved digitally on my computer; but, i don't want it all on my iPad or iPhone all the time, I only want the songs selected under my music list to be synced to my device.
My iPad is using iOS 5, my iPhone is using iOS 4.3.5.
Under 4.3.5, when I select "Entire Music Library" under Sync Music in iTunes, it only adds the seleceted sonds to my iPhone. However, under iOS 5, it wants to add everything to my iPad which is just too much.
So, how do I get just the selected songs in my library to upload to my device using iOS 5?

I'm currently using a play list but it is not the same as in iOS 4. The options will not work how I want either as it doesn't let me choose just the songs I want (which would be cumbersome but would work); I either have to select the artist (getting all of their songs loaded whether I want them or not), genres, playlists, or albums. I really only want certain songs at a time; even with the playlist seleceted and synced, albums & songs not in that playlist are still showing up in my Music app on the iPad. This is part of the reason I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 5, I like the convienence of the iPod app in iOS 4 (which was removed in iOS 5 unfortunately) and uploading my entire library would be more than my iPhone has room.
EDIT:
Demo, that was it; I completely forgot that was there. I was so focused on the music section that I forgot about the features under Summary. Thanks.

Click on Show All Videos and change slider to off (gray)
Will only show movies that you have synced

Need to know how to burn just selected songs from purchase music.

I'm new to Itunes and was wondering how I burn a CD using just four selected songs from my purchased list in Itunes. If I just check those songs I want to burn, Itunes burns the whole list. I can't seem to copy those four songs and paste them into a new playlist either.
Thanks,
Dick Skover

Just make a new playlist and drag (don't copy/paste) the four songs to it. Then burn that playlist.
Hope this helps.

How do I delete contacts on my iPad with iOS 7

I have seen a lot of stuff that doesn't work. I can't even delete my entire list of contacts and start over. I want these contacts out of my iPad how do I do that.

Try the following free app call My Contacts Backup (search the App Store)
It will gather your contacts, put them into either vCard format or CSV format. It will then allow you to email the vCard or CSV file to yourself.
After doing so, the app also has the ability to "Remove all contacts" from the device. This is accessible from the main screen, pressing the Settings button on the lower-right, then scrolling down to the "Remove all contacts" button (be sure you're ready to do this).
I've used this feature before in the past and it worked great. Restoring your contacts is easy...just open the email that you sent to yourself and tap on the attachment.
Try it out...first backup your contacts with the app and email them to yourself, delete all contacts using the app, then restore them with the app. It may resolve your issue and knock your contacts list back into shape. If not, it should at least wipe out all your contacts and start over again.
EDIT: If you need to, you can also use some type of contacts/vCard/CSV editor to be used with your PC (search for one on Google) to manually go into the vCard or CSV file and manually remove the unwanted contact(s).

How to sync Google calendar busy/free-time with iOS calendars?

A friend and I want to share our busy / free-time. We've successfully set it up and sharing, and sharing works fine on our PC / Mac laptops via Outlook and iCal respectively. Same goes for webcal. While my friend who has an Android phone can also see my busy / free-time on his phone's calendar application, I cannot select his calendar for syncing to my iOS calendar via "https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect". When my friend's calendar security is set to "share busy / free-time only", his calendar shows up on my calendar list on the syncselect page as not available for syncing. When he shares his detailed view, I can select it for syncing.
Is there a work-around so that I can see his busy / free-time on my iOS calendar just like I see it on my Mac iCal and on web-calendar? Appreciate input here ... Thank you.

I'm afraid that isn't possible. iCloud will not sync your Google calendar and Google will not sync your iCloud calendar. They are entirely separate systems. If you want to sync your Google calendar with your devices, add your Gmail account to them (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>Google) and turn Calendar on. Your Google calendar will then appear alongside your iCloud calendar in the Calendars app on your devices.

See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.

To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too? I just turned photo stream on on my computer. Thank you. Liz

Try resetting your iPad:

Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc then they can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. You should also be able to delete them as part of importing them to a computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If they were synced from a computer then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (with iTunes 11, option-command-S on a Mac will enabled the sidebar, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen use the Photos tab to de-select the albums/folders that you want to remove and apply/sync that selection. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder.
