Music and Videos.

How to transfer music and videos to an iPad from a PC without using the iTunes? Are there any ways to transfer them?

Upload your music library from PC to Dropbox then stream the music from the Dropbox on your iPad without filling your memory with songs.

  • How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

    i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices:  macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
    i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly.  first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external.  that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music.  the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly.  every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv. 
    next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows.  music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store.  but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
    finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got.  i get no shared music or videos here at all.
    by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes.  each device talks to one another.  i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files.  appletv shares everything.  i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network.  i should be able to do this, right?
    also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
    thanks

    im more than a little disappointed here.  can anyone recommend another forum please?

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Music and Video won't sync to iOS 6 devices

    Hey guys, just updated both my iPhone 4S and iPad 3rd Gen to iOS 6 yesterday and I've been having a fun time with all the features (albiet buggy obviously), but I've come across a very frustrating issue. Late last night while trying to prepare all my devices so that they are clean and ready for today without issue, my iPad and iPhone's memory free space was quite vast. A lot larger than usual, yet iTunes was saying that everything was on both devices.
    Well I checked and my iPad had NONE of my music on there. Well I searched around to find that the iPad actually had only NON-DRM labled songs in the library. Same with my iPhone. Well I was confused because of all things you'd think it to be the opposite. Well regardless, I wiped all music from the iPad and tried a clean install of all music, well that didn't work. I then tried manually dragging songs in and that didn't work. I then tried checking the manually manage stuff box and THEN tried moving music in. Still, squat. Nothing was working for some reason. Even directly moving stuff in there wasn't working. All of my Apps went in fine and my ringtones went in fine (yes, on both devices), but my music and videos would not.
    Really odd predicament and it's quite annoying considering I use my iPad for part time mixing and DJ'ing for electro/house, dubstep and trance. I have quite a library I need on there but I can't seem to get any of it on there.
    Though I did manage to make it worse. After wiping my music from my iPad, NOTHING will go on there. No videos, no music, not even the NON-DRM encrypted songs or movies. It's crazy. At least my phone has some of the music. It SAYS that all of the songs I chose to load on my iPhone are there, yet when I click to play them, my iPhone just instantly skips them. Don't know what the heck is going on and I could totally use some help.
    On phone with dev support now and the lady I talked to wasn't even aware that the dev forums in the dev center were down and just checked around to see when they were going to be back up and I was told "in a few hours hopefully, or in the next 24 hours at the latest".
    So yeah, any help guize?

    hey there i jus recently discovered, all you have to do is highlight the music u want and drag it to ur iphone or ipad tab, ios 6 is just a beta, and it comes with common little flaws like this, but i just kept trying and i noticed it didnt have a option at the bottom of summary to manually manage music; it was changed to manually manage music videos, then i remember when the ipod frst came out we had to drag and drop files so i tried that and it worked, so lemem kno huw it turns out for u

  • Cannot delete music from iPod nano (latest generation).  Have already selected "Manually Manage music and videos" but delete is unavailable from right click or Edit.

    I have done everything I've seen recommended for deleting music (jncluding "manually manage").  Thanks for the assistance!!!

    Did you Apply the change after selecting (checking the box for) Manually manage music and videos?
    With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, select the iPod under DEVICES.  Click the toggle (to the left of iPod) to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  You can select songs there, right click on them, and select Delete from the contextual menu.  You can also select songs there, go up to the menu bar, and select Delete under Edit.  You can also select songs there, and just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
    If you want to use automatic syncing, which is far more convenient than the manual method, and easily manage content on the iPod (add and remove songs), please post back.

  • How to get my Music and videos from my Macbook pro to apple TV

    I have some music and videos from my macbook that i have added to itunes from CD's and DVDs. Whenever i try to play music or movies on my apple TV it says that there is no music in the library. Is this because the items were not bought on itunes and were added from my computer??

    If the music and video is compatible, it should play from Computers.
    The Mac and iTunes must be running, the media files must be accessible on an internal or attached external drive.
    I assume you have enabled Home Sharing.

  • I could not found all music and videos in my laptop in itunes? how can i get all content to my itunes?

    hi i am using iphone 3gs 32gb. i installed itunes in my laptop but i couldnot found all files like music and videos present in my laptop. can anybody tel how to get all content? thanks you

    The songs that you downloaded on the iPad can be transferred to the computer when you sync with iTunes. For the music from your cousins computer - if they were purchased with his Apple ID - you can't sync them to your iTunes account.

  • Upgrading to 11.1.1 has wiped my ipad1 of all music and videos when synching. Please help

    I am running Windows XP, have an ipad1 running IOS 5.1.1 and an ipod 5th gen 80gb video.
    I have 6,000 songs in iTunes, podcasts, books, apps and numerous movies and videos both purchased from Apple Store and some home converted mp4s.
    I upgraded to 11.1.1 5 days ago and since then, every time I have tried to sync my ipad as I add more videos, it has gone mad and on step 4 out of 5 of the synch process it hangs and then gives me a unknown error code -69 and not only does it not add any new video files, it removes existing ones that have always been there and I just get the grey dotted circle next to them now when I look at the ipad films directory.  Podcasts are fine.
    I have fully restored the ipad, I have experimented with manually managing music and videos, I have tried to add the old 'always worked before' videos back, one by one but absolutely nothing works and since I did the restore, it now won't add ANY of my music files...I just get the error -69.
    I connected my old faithful ipod instead to see what happened and exactly the same story.
    Can I roll back a version of iTunes? What can I do? It's been maddening and I have spent 2 days trying to fix it.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions I can try. I see that many people here have had similar problems and turning wifi on the device off seemed to have helped - but I don't even have wifi on my ipod and it screwed that up.

    Hi there,
    That's a point for a huge discussion... "EPMA may already be on its way out the door"
    I thought that it is the other way round? That Oracle aims to stop using classic application and move everything to EPMA...

  • Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?

    Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
    So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
    So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
    When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
    Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I have the same question but I am using two pc's

  • Downloading music and videos from more than one iTunes account

    We have ipads for our two granddaughters and each has an itunes account and we give them allowances and gifts now and then to buy videos music and apps.
    They have each bought more stuff than they can fit on their ipad.  I bought an external hard drive from Seagate to which I can store their music and videos. They can access this drive and the content on it through a LAN the drive sets up so their ipads can communicate with it when they are away from a network and have no access to iCloud.
    When I logged into one of their accounts to download content, I got a message that said my computer was registered to a specific itunes account and that if I downloaded content from another account I would not be able to download any content from any other account for 90 days.
    What gives.  This would mean if one of them downloaded their content, the other wouldn't be able to download anything for 90 days and vice versa.  This makes no sense.
    What am I doing wrong and how do I deal with this situation?
    I spoke with an Applecare person about this and they said yeah, this is the way it is set up.  I asked "Why?" because it didn't make any sense and they tried to put me through to an iTunes "specialist" to explain it.  I got the "specialist" but he had no idea what I was talking about and went to find out what was going on.  He took so long to try to find out that I ended up losing the connection.  Thought I would ask this forum.
    Can anyone help me.  This is a major glitch I don't know how to deal with.
    Thanks,

    I am a bit confused and have heard different things from different second tier Apple support folks.
    When you and your wife do as you describe are you actually downloading your content to your computer or just accessing it from Apple's servers via your iTunes software? 
    What I am trying to do is to download it from the server to my computer.  You do this from within the iTunes store by clicking in the little iClound icon next to the item or telling the store to download all of it.
    When I do this from one account, I am locked out of doing it from any other account for 90 days.
    I'm looking forward to your account as I have Apple "experts" seem pretty much split 50-50 as to whether this is supposed to happen.  So far, my experience is that on a given computer, no matter how many user accounts you have, if you download content from an iTunes account, content cannot be downloaded on that computer frm any other iTunes account for 90 days.
    This, of course is not a problem if you are logged onto the internet.  However, if you are not logged onto the internet, you cannot listen to any music you have not downloaded.
    It is the second condition for my two grandaughters that I am trying to address.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one?  I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

    Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account)  I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch.  Now she has an ipad.

    No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
    She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

  • How do I transfer all music and videos from one computer to another?

    I need to transfer my music and videos that are in itunes from my laptop to my new desktop, and I dont want to lose anything because when I update my ipod it will be takin off, right? Please tell me how I go about doing this, thanks a bunch!!

    There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:
    New PC & moving iTunes library

    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    This article describes moving your music to another drive on the same computer but could be adapted to moving between networked computers: Moving your iTunes Music Folder
    Also If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to iTunes on a different computer. Change the setting before connecting it to your new PC:

  • How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    My itunes PC no longer works.  How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC.  Apple do not provide that facility.  It can be done with third party software though.  There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.
