Installing iTunes on my iPad after upgrading to IOS 7

I Recently upgraded my iPad and iPhone to IOS 7 but battle to use iTunes. The app on my device says iTunes Store; I don't seem to have an option to import my existing library from laptop. If I ask for installing link I see. Page asking if I am interested in iTunes for Mac or Windows but I please need simple instructions to download the operating iTunes. PS I am from the "older generation"and am rather frustrated by this

Hi there, thanks to discussion replies I have made some iCloud progress. The iTunes library now appears on both iPhone and iPad, only some of them has an iCloud icon next to it.
Those without the icon is not playing.
These are legit tunes originally downloaded from CD's I still own.
my laptop went through 3 steps,  gathering information, matching songs and upgrading artwork and remaining songs.
Why are some songs in iCloud and the majority not?
Is there any other way to import those directly from the laptop itunes to iPad?
Any help sincerely appreciated thanks!
Sent from my iPhone with apologies for Apple's innovative Afrikaans!

  • I miss artwork on my ipad after upgrading  to ios 5

    I miss album cover artwork on my ipad after upgrading  to ios 5, although all artwork is correct in itunes and was correct before upgrading

    Try to connect your iphone in computer, in itune restore the iphone as a new one. (it worked for me)
    Or delete your contacts app from iphone and sync again.
    Good luck

  • ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

    iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

    What printer are you using?  Is it listed here:

  • Problem: linking iTunes to Photoshop Elements after upgrading to iOS 7.3.4 to sync iPad to Albumns in Organiser.

    Since upgrading to iOS 7.0.3.4 I can link to Folders but not to Albums in Photoshop Elkements 11.
    Is Apple aware of this bug and can we expect that it will be corrrected in due course?
    Has anyone got a fix?
    I can Export Albums from Organiser to Adobe Revel and then iTunes recognises the Album - but Revel only recognises JPEG files and they have to be small as exporting is such a slow process.
    I can import a PDF file to my iPad containing a photo slide show previously created with Elements Organiser - it finds its way to the Books app.

    Thanks:  I did not make it clear that the acquisition of Revel was subsequent to the onset of my problem - Revel is an attempt to work around the problem.
    When using iOS 6 the link from iPad to Photosdhop Elements  - Organiser - Albums via iTunes worked perfectly - I could sync iPad with iTunes no trouble. Upgrade to iOS 7 and iTunes - Photos showed the title of the Album but contained no photos. After exporting an Album from Orgniser to Revel the photos automatically re-appeared in the iTunes albums list.
    Have you any other suggestions?

  • Why can I transfer my movies to my ipad after upgrading to iOS 7.

    Hi have an ipad 2 which has always worked great, until I upgraded to iOS 7 and now I can't transfer my movies to the ipad from iTunes.
    I have restored my ipad to factory settings and have tried copying movies and still no joy.  To make the matter even more annoying I have tried to contact apple support and I need to pay a £25 charge as I am out of warranty for a problem that apple have caused.
    Any ideas how to rectify this?
    Thanks

    That's a very helpful description of the problem and now. I wish I could be as helpful in return. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about syncing home movies or personal videos. I have synced several of my own, but it always went without issue.
    Some basic things that I can think of are ....
    Where are the movies residing in iTunes on your computer? If they have been imported into the movies library then they should appear in the Videos app when you sync. If they were imported into the photos folder, they could be in the photos app, but I assume that you checked that already.
    You did say this was a new problem so can I assume that the movies were appearing in the videos app?
    I have read where some users reclassified videos in order to get them to sync. After using the Get Info command in iTunes, they would classify a video as a TV show for example in order to get to sync. Forgive my ignorance on this, but like I said, I have very limited experience with this and I am trying to recall exactly what the process was.
    If nothing else, my comments will bump your post up again and hopefully somebody that knows what they are talking about will chime in.

  • ITunes not syncing apps after upgrading to ios 5 - Help :(

    I downloaded the firmware for ios 5 as it took 60 mins to download last night, and when it got to 10 mins, it errored. I backed up everything, and it gave me the option to restore backup once i had installed the new ios firmware.
    However, all it gave me was my contacts and photos. In my itunes library, i have all my apps there, but i am unable, after 2 hours, to find a way to get the apps in my itunes to go on my ipod. I tried nearly everything:
    Unticked manually manage music and videos
    Restored old back up
    Googled for over an hour
    Authorised my account
    Restarted computer several times
    Uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes a few times
    Pressed "sync" over 50 times
    All my apps are in my library and i have found all the .ipa files on my file browser. The problem isn't redownloading all my apps again, its all the saved levels, settings etc on my games/apps. Here is a pic of my itunes if it helps... http://i51.tinypic.com/34gq1b4.png
    Many thanks in advance,

  • Itunes won't sync after upgrade to iOS 5

    I've looked around here and most people are dealing with error codes and such but my upgrade appeared to go flawless.  But when it was complete and the iPad 1 came up it had the folders I created post upgrade but none of the Apps.  I checked iTunes and they're all there even the 78 books I had in iBooks but none of them are on the iPad.  I've tried syncing several times, even done a complete restore but I can't seem to get the stuff from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to the iPad.  Anyone have an idea? Am I missing something basic?

    Gatineau,
    d6d24r94's comment actually worked for me-- I also found another website displaying pretty much the same idea-- it wasn't exactly as straightforward as "step one, step two, step three..." because I ended up doing pretty much the same steps in various orders before it finally took hold.
    For that technique to work, you've got to do it individually, as in ONLY sync the apps, then ONLY sync the movies, then ONLY sync the music, etc...
    I think it has to do with the iphoto and other apps that need to have their databases updated to the "new" database style for IOS 5-- I wasn't experiencing problems with iPhoto so I didn't consider it as a source of the problem, but I derived a drastic solution that actually did work from a website describing how to delete the iphoto index so that it will rebuild itself.
    the solution that really worked for me was to (I use OS X, not sure what to for windows)
    1. Quit iTunes
    2. Delete the itunes library files. Not the actual data, but all the helper files in ~/music/itunes such as "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library Extras.itdb"--- I trashed them all but didn't empty trash just in case. Again- I didn't erase any actual MEDIA or APPS, I just erased those little xml and database files.
    3. Open iTunes again and tell it to look in my home directory for media.
    This solution is drastic-- it forces iTunes to think it has nothing whatsoever. So, for that particular iPad and iMac, I had to rebuild the entire music library from scratch-- luckily on that computer it was all of an 8GB music collection. The music files were still there, so it was just a matter of iTunes finding them again and then processing all the album artwork and genius...
    next, I had to get my apps and books and other purchases from the store back. Just use the iTunes Store side tab within iTunes, sign in to your account if you're not already, and click the "Purchases" link, which will bring up all your purchases and allow you to download them again.
    Like I said, this is DRASTIC. I don't know if it's the RIGHT way or if there is a better, easier, way-- but these steps worked for me. the iPad now syncs just fine, seems to have no issues whatsoever, and even seems to be doing the auto-sync via WiFi just fine...

  • Can't find my pages documents on my iPad after upgrade to iOS 8. I also updated

    I Just upgraded my iPad to ios 8 and I also upgraded my pages and numbers but I can't find all my documents. Please how may I locate them?

    I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

  • After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

    You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well.  It was buggy for me.
    I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
    Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
    Just had to try everything.  As final choice, update over the air.  I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.
