Is it possible to download your songs from the ipad to a separate harddrive? harddrive?

is it possible to export your songs, books etc from the ipad to an external hard drive?

No - you can transfer purchases to your computer's iTunes, but you cannot connect an external hard drive to the iPad for backing up. You can backup your computer's iTunes content to an external drive.

    I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic.  I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store.  I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

    You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    To copy other music to the computer see:

    I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

    Hi,
    Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

  • HT1473 i have downloaded some songs from the internet and saved it on my desktop. how do i transfer those songs to itunes?

    i have downloaded some songs from the internet and saved it on my desktop. but i do not know how to import the songs from that folder to itunes.

    Just drag the song(s) to iTunes, if they are one of these formats (wav, m4a, mp3, mp4, wma etc) and they will appear under Music library.
    If you have lots of music files, put them in a folder and go iTunes menu FILE, Add folder to library..... to add this folder at one go.

  • Download a movie from the IPad

    It's possible to download a movie from the store with the IPad ?

    If films are available in your country's store then you can buy films in the iTunes app and they will then download into the Videos app. Or if you buy and download them on your computer's iTunes you can then sync them to the iPad.

  • I just downloaded a song from the iTunes app, now it is showing up with the iCloud icon next to it but it is not in my phones memory.

    Now the song is not in my phones memory anymore and when I want to listen to it I have to download it again.  It picks and chooses songs randomly and for some reason it is usually the most current ones I download.  How do I stop my phone from automatically sending things to the cloud without my permission?  

    The small cloud icon to the right of your songs means the song is not stored on you devices drive, not that it was uploaded to iCloud.  You can listen to that song, but it's being streamed.  If you tap on the small cloud icon it should download the song onto your devices hard drive.  Once you do that the icon should not reappear again.

  • Is there a way to download all songs from the cloud in one step?

    Is there any way to download all my songs from the cloud in one step?

    Ok, if you're wondering about an iOS device, there is no way to do that - you have to tap all of the cloud icons.
    But I do have a workaround.
    Store all the songs all locally on your Mac
    Disable iTunes Match on your iOS device
    Plug your iOS device into the computer (or this can be done with Wifi sync)
    Sync all songs to your device
    Now enable iTunes Match on your iOS device
    You now have all songs stored locally on your iOS device and iTunes Match is enabled, so your metadata syncs over iCloud, and you no longer have to plug your device in to update its music library. :)

  • How do I delete just songs from the iPad?

    In an attempt to move my iTunes library, I have now gotten way out of whack with my music.  I deleted all songs from iTunes and re-imported (sacrificing my play counts, etc., but I didn't know what else to do), and that works, but it leaves my iPad in a state of confusion.  So I would like to remove all music from the iPad and just start over and re-sync, but I am having no luck with that.
    Here are things I've tried:
    Re-syncing after re-importing the library to iTunes.  After that, I can see a full list of songs on the iPad, but 80% of them are grayed out and not playable.
    Deleted all the iTunes library files (the itdb's, the itl's and the xml) so that when iTunes opened, it would give me the fresh screen and show no music.  Then I synced the iPad--it told me it was going to erase everything on the iPad b/c it was synced to a different library (presumably my old library), and I said okay, and it synced, and somehow there are still about 200 songs on there.  No idea how those songs "survived," but they did.
    I tried going to Settings -> General, and I see an option for "Reset All Settings", and right under it "Erase All Content and Settings," but inexplicably, there is no option for "Erase All Content and Leave the Settings Alone!"  I'm not sure why of those three things, they think the first two are important to users, and the last one isn't.
    Ideally I would not like to reset my iPad, as I don't want to lose all my app data and that kind of thing--anybody know an easy way just to wipe all song media from the iPad?  Thanks!

  • Trouble Downloading Free Songs from the Internet

    vf.com is offering free mp3 downloads. I am following all the steps outlined in the iTunes help section (open iTunes, click on the link to the song to play it). According to the help page, iTunes "streams" the song to the computer once you click on the link and play it. However, I don't seem to be able get it added to my playlist in iTunes. I tried dragging the link directly into the playlist, however I keep getting a message "http://xxxxxx" is not a valid URL. What am I doing wrong and how can I resolve this problem?

    You can only download from a store if you have an account in that store. And you must have a credit card that is registered to an address in the country store that you want to buy from in order to create an account in that country's store. So unless you have a U.S. credit card that is registered to a legal address in the U.S., you can't buy from the store.
    Do you have an Apple ID? If your country has no store, why would get a message that specific? Is iTunes specifically telling you to use the Trinidad Store?

  • HT201272 Downloading matched songs from the cloud...what am I missing?

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and I want to download the matched songs/albums from the cloud but I can't figure out how...I'm sure I'm missing something simple, please help!

    I had the same exact problem. I would set my imac to download a batch of songs by iTunes match, I'd go do something else and every time I would come back to a crashed computer. No "Force Quit" possible, just plain crashed. So I would start it back up and have a go again. Finally after several days, I realized that it was a handful of specific songs that were the culprit. Now I don't mind if there's a glitch with a few songs. It was the fact that it ALWAYS crashed my mac. Come on iTunes team!
    I found this article on Apple's support siten which has you restart iTunes Match:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4054?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    It fixed a couple of the songs, but still the crashing on the remaining dozen. It appeared that the download was trying to reconnect with a previous attempt and for whatever reason, it caused it to crash. So after lots of trial and error, here is the solution for downloading a song that won't download (I don't think this is on Apple's support site):
    1. Start playing the song. The iTunes Match cloud server will be forced to reinitiate a new download.
    2. Watch the grey bar creep to the end of the load.
    3. Right-click and download the previously undownloadable track!

  • I deleted all songs from the iPad multiple times.  Each time I reconnect and sync all of these songs sync instead of the chosen playlist. Settings on Summary page are Sync Only Selected Songs and Videos. Music only the playlist is checked.

    How to I stop iTunes from reloading what was on the iPad instead of what I have selected?  Summary screen shows "Sync only checked songs and videos"  Music has only the selected playlist.  All songs were deleted from iPad by swiping them to the left and hitting delete (very time consuming).  Sync is set to manual.  However whenever I hit Sync, the old music gets put back on the iPad.  I have had this happen at least 6 times.

    Solved it.  "Automatically fill free space with songs" was checked on the Music page.  Worked perfectly once this was unchecked.
