Why can't I sync music from my mac to iPad?

I'm having trouble syncing music from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. I have some music that is already transferred, but I can't seem to add new music. Any suggestions?

Hi Zane
Yes, I do that each time, but it makes no difference. I've had an iPhone with music on for ages, and this issue only happened when I update to iTunes 11 earlier on in the year.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Hi Drumsing,
As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
Hope this helps,

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes iPhone 4s?

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes on my Sony Vaio to my iPhone 4s? My computer recognizes my phone but iTunes doesn't. Does it just need updating, if so then how do I do that? I haven't been able to sync tunes onto my iPhone 4s yet (I got it at christmas 2013)

Hello, EloiseGO100.
Since your device is not recognized in iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Why can I not order music from other countries

Hello,
why can I not order music from either germany or austria if the canadian itunes does not have it?
I don't mind paying in euros or paypal, which ever.
I think the stores should be compatable or should allow buying from another country.
Thanks, Ingo

The short answer is that the content owners do not allow Apple to sell content across country borders. It's not by Apple's choice.
Regards.

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders. Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al, Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
(....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
(.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
(...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
So unless and until the record companies, et. al, all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

TS4062 When manually syncing music from my mac to my iPod touch, when I delete tunes from my manual list and hit apply, these songs remain on my iPod?

When manually syncing music from my Mac to my ipod, if I delete from my list and hit apply, the songs are remaining on my ipod? It just started doing this.

You need to select the songs on the iPod (in iTunes) and hit Delete.
Since you are Manually managing, Apply doesn't do anything to Music on the iPod.

HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
Hope this helps.

Sync music from my mac

Hello
5 days since my ipod does not want to sync music from my mac?
How do I have to do?

Just a reminder that before you sync music to your ipod, first go to "music" in ipod menu when connected in iTunes, then check if "sync music" is selected. If not, select accordingly then perform the sync again. Cheers!

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

HT1386 Why can't I sync music to my new iPhone 5?

I had a large music library synced to my iPhone 3GS. I've now upgraded to an iPhone 5 but, when I try to sync this phone, the "Music" page is blank" except for the note iTunes Match is On. I know I can download songs from the cloud, but to download everything I want will take forever: why can't I just synbc from my computer as I used to do with my old phone?

OK, I found the answer here:
