How to sync music from Itunes to iPad without having to restore or erase iPad's content

Hi All,
     Now I am trying to sync music from itunes onto my iPad, however when I plug it into my itunes, it comes up with a message saying 'Welcome to the new iPad' and says to set my iPad up already as a new iPad. And when I go to file and click devices, it disables me to open it, so therefore I cannot sync nor backup the iPad. Also there is no backup for this iPad already as it is a fairly new iPad, but already has so much content. Is there any other way to transfer the music from my itunes library to my iPad without having to restore it or even erase the iPad?
Thanks!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi

I open up iTunes on my PC and then plug in my iPad. It then displays under devices on the left-hand side in iTunes. I then click on my iPad listed under devices. I have the option of clicking the sync button in the lower right hand side of the screen. Once I click sync, then the iPad will visually indicate that it is syncing. When it is finished syncing, the text message will be gone on your iPad and you can then use it. The items should be stored in iPod app on the iPad.

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-handd sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your music to your phone's Music app
    If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

  • HT1351 How do you sync music from pc to ipad

    How do you sync music from pc to ipad pc saying 10.7 version and asking ipad to update itunes but saying no update available

    If you are trying to sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad and they are in your computer's iTunes library (if not then you should be able to add ibooks, PDFs and digital-rights-free epbs via File > Add To Library), then you should be able to sync them via the Books tab in a similar way to how you are using the Photos and Music tabs to sync those items. Is that not working, and if not does your computer's iTunes give the impression that they are copying over ?

  • Ipad cannot sync music from itunes

    My Ipad 3rd generation can't sync music from itunes after i downloaded IOS 7. Can anyone tell me why?

    With your iPad connected to your computer, select the music tab.  Is "Sync Music" checked?  If not, select the box, then choose either all content, or selected etc..  Keep in mind that you can only sync your iPad with one iTunes library at a time.  Trying it from multiple notebooks lead me to assume that you don't have the Sync music option checked.
    hope this helps.

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.
