Music search on iPad

Within iTunes on my Mac I can search the library for tracks, artists, albums etc and find music within the library.
I seem to remember being able to do this on my iPad as well but there is no search box. I have about 4500 tracks and can't remember every one - sometimes I need to search. Where has this function gone?
(iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.2)

I downloaded music on my ipad but I cant re-download it on my ipod. I have the same Itunes account on both devices.

I downloaded music to my ipad mini and when I attempted to download the music on my ipod but when I search the song it says purchased and when I try and tap purchased it wouldn't do anything and only just played the song from the itunes store. How can I transfer the music from one device to another?

You might be able to redownload it on your iPod via the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app. Or you can connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer, and you can then sync them to your iPod.

How do i transfer music from my ipad to a new computer

on my laptop, the harddrive caught a virus, we replaced the hard drive and backed up my previous data. but now when i plug my iphone and ipad into the same computer, the itunes libraries will not sync up.

Syncing is from the computer to the iPad, not the other way round. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases via File > Transfer Purchases. For other music have you not got a copy on, for example, an external drive or CDs/DVDs that you can copy on the computer and load into iTunes ? If not then you could do a search to see if there are third-party programs that can copy music off the iPad and onto a computer

How do I listen to streaming music on my iPad?

How do I listen to steaming music on my iPad? I'm trying to listen to a broadcast from WCPE.com in the MP3 format, it plays for awhile,then either pauses while it buffers or just plain quits! I tried TuneIn Radio and it constantly pauses to buffer. I listen to the broadcast simultaneously on my Windows Laptop with no stopping and only an occasionally buffering!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

You can move the music to the new Mac from the iPad - if it is purchased from iTunes.
Read this discussion. I think you should find it helpful.

If it was not purchased but imported from CD's look for a third party app to do this - check out TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software

The music search on the I tunes store does not appear after the latest upgrade to my I phone 4

The music search feature on the I Tunes store does not appear. Unable to search since the latest upgrade.

If you're sure where your library is run this script iTunesXMLPath. The library folder is the folder that file is in. Your media folder is recorded under Edit > Preferences > Advanced and is usually a subfolder of the library folder.
I recommend you backup your library with the method in this user tip.

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

After upgrading to IOS 5 I have no access to my music on the IPAD

I installed the IOS 5 on my IPAD 2. Ok the backup, and the restore of the applications.
But I had two problems.
The first with "Ibooks". I wasn't able to see my books.
I resolved changing the sinchronyzation button from "selected books" to "all the books". After this I have seen the books. Later I switched back to "selected books" and everything is now OK.
The second problem was with music, but I haven't resolved it yet.
I have some GB of music on the IPAD, I see that Itunes writes the songs on the IPAD while sinchronizing, but when I open "music" on the IPAD it's empty.
I have an app that manage music (Planetary). It show the songs, but it doesn't play them.
Is there anyone who knows this problem?
Thank you

I resolved simply restarting the Ipad. (Windows docet)

HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums. I am still on iOS 7.

You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove
