HT1848 iTunes and music transfer from laptop to iPad 2

I'm trying to transfer music on my laptop iTunes to my iPad. How can I do this?

You've selected the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and selected the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes so that you see something like :
If you tick the 'selected playlists ...' tickbox you should be able to be more selective over what to copy.
Have you then selected what you want to sync to the iPad, and clicked the Sync button at the bottom right of that screen ? That should then sync your selection over the iPad's Music app (not the iTunes app on the iPad).

Missing link between Itunes and Music Loaded from CDs

Somehow itunes no longer recognizes the link between itunes and music loaded from my Cds (error message in itunes indicates original file could not be found). I can establish this link manually one by one and the songs play but how can I establish this link other than manually one by one in itunes ?

    Hi again!
     I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
     I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
     In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
     'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

Music transfer from laptop to new iPad mini

Hi, how do I transfer my music from my iTunes library to my new iPad mini? I feel I have tried everything they user guide/online help suggests and it's still not working. I have synced it with my iTunes, tried to manage my music manually, used I cloud, synced it manually and over wifi? Also when I buy music on my iPad it doesn't store on there, it goes straight to my phone and laptop? It says my iPad music has "no music". I have had my iPad for over a week now and everything else on it works fine, getting very frustrated now about the music though, please help.

Have you quit the music app completely and rebooted the iPad? I get that now and the "No Music" message and I know damm well there is music on the iPad. If I quit the music app and reboot it will show up. Not saying it will work, but since nothing else's is working, try it.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the music app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Moving iTunes imported music albums from MBP to iPad

I have a MBP in my name/iTunes account, my wife has just been given an iPad 3, and she has her own iTunes account on it.
Is there anyway (without the sharing option) of moving albums from my MBP to her iPad so that they physically sit in her iPad, not sharing.
I dont mean purchased music from iTunes etc, but albums I have copied / imported from our own CD's etc.
Thanks for any help

If I open itunes on my MBP and then connect the iPad to my MBP and then click on devices where it says my wifes iPad, the only optios I get are to "set up as new iPad" or "Recover from my wifes iPhone"
I cant see sync any wherne.

If you have iTunes installed on the computer, you have to make sure it is the current version.
Just run iTunes and go to "File > Check for Update" to check whether your iTunes is the latest one. Then, use USB cable to connect iPad with computer as well.
After iTunes recognize your iTunes, just hit "iPad" tab under the "DEVICE" section of the iTunes sidebar. On the right screen, you can see a new window to list you all categories of iPad. Just hit "Music" tab. Check the box next to "Sync Music" and click the circle next to "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists and genres." Click the boxes next to specific artists, playlists and genres if you want to sync specific music to your iPad.
Now, you may press the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of the main iTunes screen, followed by "Sync" in the same area to transfer the music to your iPad.

If I installed itunes and music on a PC that died....can I download/import the music from my IPOD to a new itunes account?

If I installed Itunes and music on a PC that died --- can I download/import the music on my IPOD to a new ITunes account?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Music transfer from iPod to Laptop

I have an iPod that contains music from 2 different computers (including one Apple Notebook). Can I transfer all the songs from my iPod (including the music from my old computer) to my Apple Notebook?

I know you can transfer iTunes purchases from an iPod to a Library but not how to transfer songs from say CDs.
For purchases you go to Store ----> Authorize this computer---> and sign into you iTunes account and then right click or option click you iPod in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all purchases for accounts authorized for that computer.
You can also download all purchased songs for one account form iTunes Store --->Home---> Purchased. And then login for another account if you have another and do the same thing. But make sure that the computer has been authorized for that account. You can authorize up to 5 computers per account. Hope this helps.
Mostly I don't reload CDs into new Library, if I want to listen to a song from a CD that is on my iPod but not my library I plug my iPod into the computer and play the song on the iPod in iTunes.
