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.

Bought new iPad mini retina but cant find install free iWork apps like Keynote. Where can I find/install Them?

When configuring my new iPad mini retina last weekend I first ignored the questions on the installation of the free iWork apps.
Now I would like to install them but I only find the paid version in the App Store. What am I donning wrong. Or was it a missed opportunity and bad luck for me.

I had exactly the same problem but my son told me I had to update to the most up to date ios first. Currently it's only got version 6.1 on it, and it didn't say there was an update available but when I click "check for updates" it started to install version 7. I believe you need version 7 installed first, then if you go to the Store, it will say the software is free to download. I'll check back once it's finished installing the update and let you know.

Can't find new ipad mini on itunes?

I just bought a new ipad mini and I don't see it in itunes library.

With a Mini, you must use iTunes version 11.x.

ITunes Match - attempts to turn on for new iPad Mini result in dreaded Transfer message

Let me start by saying that I did search these forums for an exact match to my issue, but did not find anything acceptable.
First, let me be clear, this is a brand new iPad Mini w/Retina Display. It's replacing my wife's older iPad 3rd Gen device. We restored it via iCloud with my wife's Apple ID. This same id is what is entered in the iCloud settings on the new device. iCloud Keychain and Find my iPhone are both on and associated with this same Apple ID.
However, for iTunes and App Store purchases, we are using a different Apple ID (mine), which is the same id we used on the prior device for iTunes and App purchases (mirrored settings). For all intents and purposes, the two device are configured identically (iCloud - her id, iTunes and App purchase - my id). We are able to download updates, buy new apps, etc. And, during the restore, all apps were re-installed using my id. This is normal, and the second scenario described on Apple's support web site page for iTunes Match (using different Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes Match). Also, just to note that iTunes Match was enable on the old iPad.
The fact that new iPad is configured for iTunes and App store purchases with my ID, I would think that turning on iTunes Match would be as simple as toggling the switch from off to on. And, at first, it does. I get the usually warning about erasing the iTunes libarary and I click ok. But a few seconds later I get the dreaded Apple ID transfer message for iTunes Match to work, the whole 90 day timer thing, etc. You can either cancel the operation or Transfer. So, my question is as follows:
Why would I need to transfer the device to the iTunes and App purchases Apple ID for the iTunes to work, if it's already configured to use that same id for iTunes? The last thing I want to do is transfer the device (iCloud) Apple ID to mine just to turn on iTunes Match. Makes no sense.
And, just as an fyi, I've check all the limits (10 total computers and ios devices) for iTunes match, and I'm well below that limit. I see no reason why enabling iTunes Match would require me to transfer the entrie device to the iTunes and App associated Apple ID.
Anyway? At least explain to me that if I hit Transfer, all it will do is allow iTunes Match to work and not effect the iCloud Apple ID setup?

This is correct. iTunes Match and iCloud are separate services and do not depend on one another. You can have distinct Apple IDs for each one.

HT2311 I just bought a new iPad Mini, and it won't sync to my iTunes.

So I went to the Apple store today to buy a new iPad Mini. I got it home, and tried to plug it into my computer to sync all of my information from my compter/old iPad. Come to find out, I need a newer version of iTunes to sync with the new iPad. Ok, so I go to update my version, and it says my "version is up to date". It's version 10.6.3!! So I try to download the latest version from the Apple website, and version 11.0.2 won't install onto my computer because I need version 10.6.8 or newer in order to install it!? ***?? Help me out!!

You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM, and to install the 10.6.8 combo updater.

I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up of the old Ipad from Itunes copy to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?

Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again.

I don't have my iTunes Match music on my new iPad mini although I switched it on

I got a new iPad mini. Now I wanted to check my music that's on iTunes Match. But it wouldn't show up on the new device although iTunes Match is switched on.
What can I do?

Hi, I had the exact same problem, I got it working on my iPhone 5 eventually after having to turn on Use Data Roaming (simple eh).
So I tried for ages to get it to work on my new ipad mini, I couldn't for the life of me find out how as it is a wi-if only and I couldn't turn on cellular data.
So this might help you. Very simply I closed down my iPod app on my ipad, then went into settings and turned off my wi-fi. I then opened the iPod app to realise all my music was there (but greyed out and I couldn't play it). So I went and turned on my wi-fi again and it was all there ready to play!
Delightful and I hope this helps you!

ITunes DID recognize new iPad mini, error when updating, now doesn't. Please help. I have a 700 dollar paperweight now.

Today I bought a brand new iPad mini 2, 32 gb. First, I backed up my old ipad mini to my hard drive. Then, I updated iTunes to the newest version. Then, I plugged in the new iPad mini, went through the set up, iTunes was working fine. I registered the iPad, then it suggested i update the iOS on the iPad. This is where things went south. After a few minutes, it stated "cannot update iOS 7 at this time" or something to that effect. Since that point, iTunes will not recognize the iPad. The iPad shows the "connect to iTunes" screen. When I plug it in, I hear the tone suggesting a new device is connected, but nothing happens. I've tried it in DFU mode, no results. I've tried putting it in recovery mode, nothing happens, just the same screen. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, following every step suggested through this site/apple support. I even uninstalled and installed an older version of iTunes (10.7) but same result. I've followed all troubleshooting steps, and nothing is working, so please don't suggest the same olf "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows" page.
What should I do? Do I have to take this to the geniuses at the store? Will they even be able to help without having access to my computer?

You can sync your content to a new device but you cannot transfer vouchers from one country's store to another country's store if that is what you want to do.

How do i transfer songs from my itunes music library to my new ipad mini?

I have numerous songs in my itunes account and now i want to transfer them to my new ipad mini. I can not figure out how to do this. Can anyone explain this process to me?

Sync them as you would any other content to the device.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.
