Is iTunes wi-fi sync the same as syncing an ipod?

I'm not sure I want to do iTunes Match because it costs $25 a year—and on top of every other bill in the house, this adds up, even if it's a seemingly paltry sum.
But we want the iPad to play music, so I see we can do wi-fi syncing. Is this the same as syncing an iPod in the sense that actual music files are copied over onto the iPad?
I ask because I am not able to try it myself at the moment (my iTunes, the only one in-house at the moment) is an older version. iPad belongs to someone else in the family.
Thanks!

match is letting your ios device play music stored in the "cloud" so you need not sync the songs to the ios device
this is what you pay for
if you sync the music to the device and or access the shared lib of your computer when connected to your home wifi network is free no matter what

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.

Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.
What iTunes media are you having problems syncing to your iPhone?

When i sync in itunes it always uploads the same file to my Ipad

Every time I Sync my Ipad to Itunes it alwayd uploads the same Audio book file, even though it is already there, any ideas please why this is happening ??

No my problem is that I WANT the Audio book on my Ipad, BUT everytime I connect the Ipad to Itunes and the do a Sync, it always copies the book AGAIN to my Ipad. It is already there and shows up in the listing on Itunes. As it is a long book it takes a while to copy over and is a bloody nuisance actually waiting for it to complete.

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

I really need help ! I had around 30 $ in my account !

Don't create a new iTunes account.
Just update everything with new info/change password/ security questions.

ITunes keeps providing a message that iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message that the iPod is currupted.

iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message. What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch. Any ideas? My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.

According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694

You can't copy "iTunes" because it has the same name as another item

I did not have enough space on my old MacBook to hold my iTunes library, so purchased a passport HD to hold my music. I now have an imac and am trying to copy my itunes library from the drive onto my iMac. But when i try to copy i get this message:
"You can’t copy “Tyler iTunes” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
I tried deleting all files on the computer with the word iTunes, but it keeps happening. I saw on some other threads something about the drives' formatting, so just for reference my passport is formatted "Case-sensitive, journaled" and my iMac is "journaled"
I'm pretty good with computers and this just has me stumped. Its doing this on my fathers macbook pro purchased at the same time, so two new computers with the same problem, two different hard drives for each library. Same message. I'm baffled.

I now have an imac and am trying to copy my iTunes library
What exactly are you trying to copy?
There is no folder named "iTunes library".
I tried deleting all files on the computer with the word iTunes
Search for "Tyler iTunes", the same as the folder you are trying to copy.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
