Transfer music from iPad to my laptop

My iTunes has suddenly decided to not accept my iPad2 and is saying I need to restore it to factory settings. I've recently bought a lot of music on my iPad so am keen not to lose that... how can I transfer music from my iPad to my laptop?
I've done lots of searches all of which are saying to download additional software which I'd rather not!
Thanks in advance

A free app that can also manage music on an iPad is Songbird.

    Please help  Jeff

    Unless you've paid for these songs yourself and you own them we can not help you transfer the music to your MBA. It would be stealing music you don't own.

  • Hi Im using OS Windows 7 Professional 32bit driver for apple ipad air in order to transfer photoes from ipad to hp laptop

    Unable to transfer photoes from ipad to windows 7 laptop.
    Error message
    "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

    That is one heck of a post for a newcomer here. Your instructions worked like a charm, with one exception:
    When uninstalling the Broadcom Device, I had to check the box to delete the driver, and then had to scan for new hardware to get the device to show back up. Then I was able to load the edited driver software.
    I am not complaining, but very grateful, as I was pulling my hair out on this one.

  • How do I transfer music from iPad to macbook?

    I've previously had all music etc on a PC with iPad, iPhone synced to that.  I want to transfer music from my iPad (as it's got all the CDs I laboriously added to my PC!) to my new macbook but can't find how to?  I did try to transfer directly from PC to macbook using migratoin assistant but it dropped wifi constantly so gave up..

    You can copy iTunes purchased music from a device via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back from a device - there are some listed half-way down this page : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    There are also other methods of copying music between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If you will be syncing the iPad and iPhone to your Mac then you may also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How to transfer music from Ipad to iphone5

    Tried to put it in the "cloud", but even if I put the settings the way Apple requires, my itunes do not appear there.  I cannot see any of my music on my iphone5.  I am using the same user id.  Try to upgrade Ipad to ios6 but was unable to do so.  If I cannot transfer the music from ipad, at least I want to open my itunes (purchased itunes) on my iphone5, but I cannot do that either!

    You can download music purchased from the iTunes store as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  If you want to use iCloud to download music that was not purchased from the iTiunes store from iCloud, you will have to subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer.

  • HT1296 Unable to synchronise CD music from Ipad to new laptop - anyone any advise?

    I have put CD's on my desktop iTunes, synchronised this with my iPad. Now I have bought a new laptop and want to synchronise my iPad music (including CD music so not bought via iTunes) however cannot find a way to do this, can someone please advise?

    If you are saying that you want to transfer the music from the iPad onto the laptop because you no longer have the old computer or the CD's, you will need a third party app in order to do that. You cannot transfer non iTunes purchases from the iPad back into iTunes.
    Take a look at this application.

    If you are asking how to do something different, post back and lease clarify your response a bit.

  • Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

    My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Transfer music from iPad to iPhone using iCloud and can't do it

    Why won't my iPad let me click on the button in store for automatic download

    I'm not sure why you're having trouble downloading them on your phone.  Transfer the music from your iPad to your iTunes library (by authorizing your computer for the ID used to purchase it in Store>Authorize this computer, connecting your iPad to you computer then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases), then sync the music to your phone.
