Transferring music to iPad

How do I Transfer music from MacBook to iPad without doing a complete sync

Howdy, FF5107.
This can be done by putting the iPad in 'manual mode.' The following article provides steps for doing so, and further information about this configuration.
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

When in manual mode, to add songs or playlists, drag them from iTunes to the device icon in the sidebar. To remove songs or playlists, select them on the device in iTunes and press the delete key. You can also create playlists directly on the device.
Best regards,
Allen

    For the updates you've tried logging out of your account by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then logging back in ?
    And for the purchases by 'not letting me buy music' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

    How to transfer music from Ipad 1 to Ipod shuffle?

    Hey there jenallyn,
    It sounds like you have music in your iPad that you want to get to your iPod Shuffle. You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases to your computer with this article first:

    Then when the music is in your iTunes library, use this article to sync your Music to your iPod Shuffle:

  • Transferring music from ipad to computer to put on a cd

    I bought music from itunes on my ipad, I want to transfer it to my computer so I can put it on a cd to play in my truck. I tried to select and drag over and copy and past it wont allow me. Please tell me that I can do this, Ive purchased alot of music on my ipad and sure would hope I would be able to transfer to my pc. Thanks for any help

    I had the same trouble getting music from iPhone 4 to the computer. However, there is a method in doing this that involves authorizing the computer. Go to the "Store" tab in iTunes and look for "Authorize Computer". After you do authorize it, got ot the "File" tab and click on "Transfer Purchases". Although I've only done this once, this method should work.

  • Transferring music from Ipad or Ipod

    I installed  a new operating system,Windows 7, on my computer.
    Itunes  now sees the computer as a new device and says “The Ipod is synced with another Itunes library.  An Ipod can be synched with only one Itunes library at a time.” Choices offered include “Transfer Purchases,” but not all songs in the library were purchased. Some are from CDs purchased outside Itunes.  Second choice is “Erase and sync” but the new Itunes library is empty.  We want it to recognize that this is the old computer and to download all our music.  Please advise.

    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

    hey guys please help me itunes is not transfering music or apps to my ipad 2 running ios 5.1.1 but transfers to my ipod touch 4g running ios 6 please help me

    Are you selecting the music to sync to the iPad? Try it this way.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Do you have your sync preferences set to Manually Manage Music And Videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes? If you do, deselect that and try again.

  • 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.

  • Transferring music from different computers

    I'm trying to help a friend get her CD's transferred to her iPad. She has her iPad registered with an iTunes account at home, and I don't want to change that. Is there any way that I can use my iTunes to transfer her music to her device? She is not tech savvy and I'd like to avoid her having to learn to use iTunes at this point.
    When I tried to put music on her iPad, iTunes said it would have to erase the content associated with her other computer, and I didn't know the extent of what that would erase, or what would happen when she next connects to iTunes on her home computer. There must be some support doc that explains how to manage this?

    Hi karenr,
    Your friend needs to manage her iTunes library / files between her own computer and her iPad.

  • Itunes music on ipad

    Hi there
    Asking this again as I can't find where my other questions went! My music appears to have been successfully transferred to the ipad, (my laptop shows that it is there when I look at "on this ipad" from my itunes view on the laptop).  But I can't find the music on my ipad... when I go to itunes, then to music, it just brings me to the i-tunes store. The only music I can find on my ipad are those I purchased, but not those I transferered from the laptop. This is very frustrating and not at all user friendly!
    Also, when I look at "my computer" on my laptop, I only find the ipad under "cameras"...should it be somewhere else?

    Your music on the iPad is stored in the Music icon - not iTunes icon

  • HT1349 How do I send music from iPad it iphone

    Please can you help
    I want to Bluetooth music from iPad 2 to iPhone 4 how

    You can't, transferring files by Bluetooth is not supported. You will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes - or, depending on which country that you are in, you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases on the iPhone.

  • Having problems transferring music from my pc

    I bought an ipad 3 last week and seem to be having difficulties transferring music from my pc.  Do I click import, this seem to work but only transferred 2 1/2 albums & podcasts.

    <SPAN>Tried a disk clean up and even upgraded the firmware on my player.
    <SPAN>Now in nomad explorer the music files do not even show up while the data library still take ages to load and I still cant transfer anything from it as it tells it cannot read from jukebox device.
    <SPAN>Tried deleting some files to see what would happen ? the file says it has been deleted but when I disconnected and looked in library again the file was still there.
    <SPAN>I forgot to mention in my first post that I was able to transfer everything off my Zen onto pc but I had to remaster my computer and as such lost all files and since then I cant transfer off the Zen - not sure if that matters but thought I should mention it
    <SPAN>Can?t really test at friends? computer because even if I could and it worked I have 25 GB of files that need to be transferred which doesn?t make it feasible to transfer all onto a friend?s computer
    <SPAN>Any help is grateful as I need to back up my music files in case my Zen breaks down (I am on my third Zen in 4 months as the first two were defecti've)
