Syncing music on iPad to iPod.

Hello. I want to sync music on my iPad to my iPod. Can I do this? Do I need another computer to bridge the two devices?

About the closest you can come is you can sync some material using iCloud. For example, if botht the iPad and iPod use iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendars, that data would sync. Simlilarly, Photo Stream could sync. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you could get your music to sync also.

How do I transfer music from iPad to iPod?

Directly you can't. If these are ituens puechases, yuo can download them from the itunes app under the purchased menu. Or, sync the iPod to itunes on a computer.

HT1535 Can't sync music to ipad 2

Ok so I have an iPad 2. I am having trouble syncing content, especially music, to it. Sometimes when I connect my iPad to my pc, it tries to sync my entire iTunes library of about 1000 songs to my iPad, which is troublesome because then I have to go and delete all of those songs. Basically all I want to do is transfer a few albums from my iTunes library to my iPad, but it's not letting me. When I try to drag and drop the albums to my iPad on the left column of iTunes, nothing happens. It doesn't say syncing (insert album name) to my iPad. I tried unchecking all the songs in my library so that they wouldnt all auto sync, ad instead only checking off the songs that I wanted to sync to my iPad, same result. Music won't coy to my iPad. I'm currently running iOS 5.1. I recently updated my dads iPod touch (4th gen) to iOS 5.1 and also was able to transfer this music to his iPod using the EXACT SAME PC, but for some reason it won't work for my iPad. Don't know if it matters or not, but might be worth noting that these devices are NOT jailbroken nor have ever been, or are running any third party operating systems. Like I said, just iOS 5.1. Does anyone know why this is happenning? I would really appreciate a solution to this. Thanks!

Open itunes - connect device by usb, when device summary page opens (clicking device icon at left to do this)
In <options> at bottom of page tick box - Manually manage music and videos
A tick in the box to limit higher bit rate songs to 128kbps does not do any harm either and will save you some space.
192 and 256 kbps are true high fidelity sampling rates and you would want real high quality speakers to appreciate the kind of detail these high rates can handle.
Open the device Music tab at top of page, tick the Sync Music box and select Selected playlists,artists,albums and genres. not the Entire music library option.
To avoid duplication when restoring from different backup sources only select one format in the lower pane list views. I prefer to use the Albums list, though creating your own playlists is probably better for tailoring large libraries with hundreds or perhaps thousands of songs.
Note that the Library Music tab from list at left displays all music currently synced to your iPad, NOT what is available in your library or Media Folder. Use the iPad icon (highlight by clicking) then in the main page use the Music tab (between Apps and Films) to select what to sync.
If you have music in more than one type of list and you have the option to keep your media folder organised - Edit\Preferences\Advanced tab - Keep media folder organised; it can lead to duplication across different list. I prefer to keep this bos unticked when manually managing files.

Different subset of songs to sync between an ipad and ipod

I have an ipod classic that is large enough to accommodate my entire itunes library. I don't want, however, to load the entire library of songs on to my new ipad. It won't fit in any event. Can I set up itunes, ipad, and ipod so that when I sync my ipod, all the songs are loaded but for the ipad, only those songs I want on the device are considered? In other words, I only want, nomially, 16-20 GBytes of songs on the ipad, chosen by me, and all 64 GBytes on my ipod.

Sync selected playlists. iTunes will recognize each device as unique. You can continue to sync everything to the Classic and then selected playlists to the iPad. The current version of iTunes also allows you to sync selected artists and albums. These options will be on the Music pane in iTunes when the iPad is connected.
Best of luck.

HT1386 I am unable to sync music to my touch IPod. No matter what I try, nothing works. When I plug the IPod into the laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' with my Ipod listed does not appear on the left side of the screen,

I am unable to sync usic to my touch Ipod..When I plug it into my laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' along with the name of my Ipod does not apperar.
My Ipod and Itunes are upto to date. After Itunes opens a small box with the word Ipod appears near the top of the right side of the screen. Then screen will go through the five steps of syncing. Afterward, still nothing has transfered to my Ipod(The box next to the songs I wanted were check)
ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

HT1386 can't sync music to ipad

when syncing, the music isn't being transferred to the ipad. in the ipad, the music appears with a gray wheel, and isn't really there. i already tried restoring to factory setting, but it didn't help. i also tried manually transferring the music, but that didn't work either.

Sync music (purchased from iTune Store) to iPad. Select device on the left and Music on the top.

Syncing music to ipad 2?

Has anyone had a problem with album art not matching up when synced to an iPad 2?
Thanks

UPDATE: It turns out, well for me at least, that if you sync your music again after the first sync the computer and the iPad will assume that the music is downloaded correctly however instead there is no music AT ALL.
RECOMMEDATATION: after the first music sync DO NOT resync or you will lose all your music and have to resync from scratch.

HT4623 My iphone didn't sync with my ipad or ipod via icloud.

I just bought an iphone 4s but my music didn't move over from my ipad or ipod. All of the settings look correct. I bought an itune the other day on my iphone and it transfered over to my ipod just fine. But I wanted all of the music that is copied on my ipod to move over.
Thanks for your help.

What you will need to do is go into settings>itunes and app store, and turn on auto downloading for music and apps and that will make anything you purchase on one device download on the other one.

Sync Music from PC to iPod Touch

Having synced all my music from my PC to myy iPod Touch, I find that some tracks will not play, in fact whole albums in some cases. In iPlayer, I look at my iPod and see that the tracks that do not play are "greyed out" and have a cross beside them. Why is this and how do I correct this ..?
Any Ideas??
thanks

Hey, I can help you with that. First of all, let me know what iTunes version do you have on your computer. There are two main ways for transfering songs and videos to an iDevice. One is syncing them on iTunes with your Library songs and vids and the other is to do this Manually. First step, plug in your device and open iTunes, in the summary page there are some options you can either check or leave unchecked. There is an option called Manually manage music and videos make sure thats unchecked, then just click on the music button check Sync music and try syncing again. Best of luck
