How to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it using mac but what happen was opposite!

how to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it few times but what happen was the opposite.

If you want to sync your iTunes library on your Mac to your iPad ....
Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side under the devices heading. Then click on the Music tab - and select the music that you want to transfer. Does your iTunes window look like this - with Sync Music checked and the playlists or albums checked as well like in the photo below?
When you click on the apps tab do you have Sync Apps checked and all of the apps in the window below checked to sync as well?
If you select all of the items under the different tabs in iTunes - music, apps, photos. etc. - when you sync - all of the selected content should sync over to the iPad.

  • Hi i just got a new mac pro and i wanted to know how to transfer all my music from my old desktop to my new mac?

    hi i just bought the macbook pro and i wanted to know how i can transfer all my music on itunes from my old desktop to my new macbook?

    Derek's right. To explain his second point more, you can mount your old Mac's hard drive on your new one and once you've done this you can simply drag your music folder over.
    You can mount various ways, if you have a router and both are on your LAN network I believe u use the Go menu in your new Mac to mount your old one.
    You can also use a cable directly between the two. I did this years agonwith ethernet but I bet USB or even FireWire is possible.
    Once you get your music copied over, you may need to add your music into your Mac's iTunes.
    Open iTunes and then select Add to Library and then find your music folder to add. You can add single songs or folders of songs or your entire folder of all songs.

  • All contacts disappeared from my iphone when trying to use icloud. What happened?

    In order to set up Groups, I was advised to install CopyTrans (free version).
    I have also set up and use ICoud.com through my PC to make Groups and arrange contacts.
    But now I have NO contacts in my iPhone.  When I close the Contacts App and reopen it, some appear. But when I touch 'Groups' they all disappear again.
    How do I access all 700 contacts stored on iCould?
    When I Synch with my PC (which uses Outlook) all those 500 contacts are added AGAIN and AGAIN forcing me to delete duplicates constantly.
    And then when I turn on the iPhone and touch Groups - they disappear again.
    I switched from BlackBerry - was this a mistake?

    Suggest you consider using an app to back up your contacts.  This will allow you to easily restore them if this happens again.  One I can recommend is My Contacts Backup Pro, although I'm sure there are others that work as well.  The app will back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself and save either the email or the attachment.  If you ever need to restore your contacts you can just tap the attachment to import them back to your phone.
    Then, as mentioned in the other post, try saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll, delete the iCloud account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.  Hopefully it won't happen again after that.

    how to transfer files(pdfs/music.etc)between two pcs?

    Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
    This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

  • I need to find out how to transfer all the music from my old IPOD to my new IPOD.  Not all of my music was purchased on ITUNES.

    I need to find out how to transfer all my music from my original IPOD nano to my new IPOD nano.   I want to keep both and not all of my music was purchased on ITUNES.  Please help!

    Your music should be in your iTunes library, that is how it gets synced to the iPod. If that music is not present in the iTunes library, you will need to get a 3rd party software for the computer to get the music off the original iPod and then move it to the iTunes library to be able to sync it to the new iPod. You can see some additional information in this tip supplied by a fellow user. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • How to transfer files via airdrop from Mac to iPad

    I am a new convert to the Mac world, had my Mac and iPad for about 6 months now, and greatly impressed.  I have Norton on my Mac, so when wishing to transfer via airdrop I disable the connection blocking, when transfering from iPad to Mac the iPad icon appears in finder, but disappears immediately transfer is complete.
    I have restarted the Mac hoping that would work but to no avail.  Both are connected to the internet through a BT home hub 5 via an airport time unit.  Both are connected to iCloud, and are set to everyone in airdrop.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Update on problem.
    I have received an update on the iPad, airdrop now working.

  • How to transfer images and music from PC (Windows 7) to iPhone?

    Hello:
    Could someone please inform me how can I transfer images and music from a PC (Windows 7) to my iPhone (3GS)?

    Hi, RichardParker,
    I have also meet problems to transfer music from PC to iPhone, and I had solved it now. You can do the following steps,
    1. Copy music to your phone memory
    2. Exported contacts to SD Card (on Android phone) in VCard format
    3. Transfered VCard file from SD Card to PC
    4. Created a Google Account
    5. Opened the Google Account from a browser (on PC), go to Contacts, and then uploaded VCard contacts to the Google account
    6. Configured the iPhone (using a separate Windows user account - so as to allow for importing pictures & videos through iTunes)
    7. Created a "CardDAV" account on the iPhone and synchronised all Contacts
    If you have any question ,you can ask me about iPhone Transfer. And I hope the steps above works.

  • How to transfer files to and from iPad air using bluetooth

    How can I transfer file to and from my iPad using Bluetooth to another Bluetooth-enabled device?  Is there an app for this? 

    iOS devices do not have the Bluetooth profile for file transfer. Even if the other device is a an iOS device, you can't transfer files over BT. You can use Airdrop between iOS devices. However, even though Airdrop uses BT to locate other devices, the actual transfer is done over WiFi. There are some apps in the App Store that, if loaded on both iOS devices will allow limited file transfer over BT between the devices.

  • How do transfer my itunes music from my old computer to my new netbook

    Hi everybody
    I´ve been goin crazy tryin to transfer my music from my girlfreinds old labtop to my new netbook. How do i do it?

    are we talking Mac or that other OS ?
    Mac:
    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    winsloth:
    copy the entire iTunes folder from the old to the exact same location on the new machine. you can use an external HD or your network to do that.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to transfer apps and music from itouch 5 to new computer?

    I bought a new computer and I was wondering how I transfer music/apps from my ipod touch gen 5 to my new computer/new itunes? I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to computer I get my music from places other than itunes and I don't want to lose them.
    Thanks!

    The ipad is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the only exception is itunes purchases.  File>devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, as you would normally do when you get a new computer. Try it to see how to transfer music from iPad to computer.

  • How to transfer files after booting from external drive?

    My fathers MB Air has been failing to boot, most likely due to lack of space on hard drive. I've come to the conclusion seeing as how its a 2014 model and he has 6 GB's of free space on his main dirve. I've managed to boot his MB Air from an external drive and now I need to know how to transfer his files to the external hard drive from the internal hard drive, while of course running on the external device. I apologise if this made no sense; trying my best here. If there is any more information required to answer my question please don't hesitate.

    There are two backups to be concerned about. Your iOS devices can backup your App purchases to the computer (that can get big fast!) and it can also backup personal settings. Personal settings can be backed up to your iCloud account and Apple provides 5GB free space which is just enough to back up two devices. I suggest the personal data (basically how you have your iOS device configured) be backed up to the cloud rather than the computer. This will free up about 5GB. Once this has been done, open iTunes, select preferences, click on the Devices tab and you'll see the stored backups (if any). Delete each one.
    The backed up apps are stored in the iTunes folder. Inside the music folder you'll find a folder labeled Mobile Applications. Good news: you can delete this folder (mostly) safely because it costs nothing to redownload apps if needed. Bad news: if the app is removed from the App store it can't be downloaded again. This has never affected me but it is a potential problem. My solution is that I don't backup my apps to the computer. In the rare event that I need to wipe my iOS device and restore it I've found that downloading the Apps again (which is done automatically for you, no need to remember what you had) takes no longer than restoring them from the computer's hard drive.
