Why can't I synch my music to my iPad?

I have tried to synch my iPad with my iTunes music and video library to no avail. I can't even watch movies or listen to songs that I've purchased using my iPad, on my iPad.

Additional information: i run iTunes 11.0.4.4 on a Windows Vista OS and the iPad is iOS 6.1.3. I have an iPhone and an iPod and both synch all Data, Apps, Music and Video.
What does it do when i click "synch"? It gives every visual indicator that it is synching (i.e. Copying X of X songs (step 4 of 4)) The bars on the bottom of the screen that show how much space Audio, Video, Apps, etc. is taking up on your device indicates that Audio and Video are loaded with space. Synching just ends. No message box, no prompts, no errors. The bars on the bottom of the screen that previously showed loaded Audio and Video are now *gone*. no audio, no video on the device.

Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

Hello cwill2
Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.

Why can I no longer stream music on my ipad/iphone?

I own an IPhone 4s with 16GB of storage capacity and a recently purchased IPad mini 2 with 32gb of storage capacity. I am operating off of ITunes IOS 8.1.2 for my iPhone and 8.1.1 on my iPad,
As of last year I was able to import music into itunes, upload it to icloud, and then stream the song on the device without it physically (or at least permanently downloading to my phone). It would work when I was connected to the internet via wi-fi or using the data plan I have with my family plan. The first time I realized there was a problem was when I attempted to stream music after downloading IOS 8.0. As I was having other issues with my phone at the time (it not installing the IOS correctly, not recognizing songs being uploaded to the cloud, text messages not being sent to other apple users, it was low on my bucket list.) Eventually I did look into it and found that people often suggested that I ensure that I enable icloud on my phone, and in music settings I turn on 'Show all Music' and 'ITunes Match'. All of these were already selected and I saw no other solutions presented.
This problem has now extended over to my IPad and even though both are connected to a data plan and they can connect other programs that require the internet when not connected via wi-fi the songs are greyed out on the phone and simply do not play on the iPad. The symbol that allows me to download the music instead of stream it that shows up on the phone does not appear on my iPad which leaves me stuck with no way of listening to my music on my ipad if I am not connected via wi-fi.
Can someone please tell me if the streaming ability was changed to only work if the connection was through wi-fi and not through data usage? If not and there is something I have overlooked/been unable to find within other threads can someone please specify what I can do to get it to play the music?

Thanks guys, and yes, seems really weird. I hadnt merged contacts with iCloud (which is appearing to be far more trouble than its worth!) and I couldn't edit, add or delete contacts from my ipad, but as soon as I switched on this option in iCloud, they magically reappeared. I then turned it off again from mergeing with iCloud, and, for now at least, the option to edit remains!
Honestly, it really shouldn't be this difficult!
Thanks again.

Why can't I get my music on my iPad from iTunes?

I have been trying for hours to get my music from my iTunes on to my iPad. I have iCloud and I have iTunes Match too but for some reason my iPad wont sync. I have purchased a song from my iPad and it has saved to iTunes but not to my iPad. I have tried clicking on the little cloud symbol in the iTunes Store and it says downloading but then when I go back to my music app there is still nothing there. Can anyone help?

Why can"t I change the music on my iPad?

I have been trying to change the music on my iPad, but when I do it says I do not have enough room. First of all I have more than enough room and second, it will not remove the music I don't want. Thirdly, it puts stuff in the cloud, which I don't want. What am I doing wrong. Or am I forced to use the cloud and never change music?
Also the last couple of times I have backed up my pad it adds the apps from my iPhone. which I have to go through and delete one by one. Even though I have the iPad equivalent.

Why can't I copy my music to my ipad or phone?

My music collection has been wiped off my phone leaving just a few purchased tracks. I have everyting on itunes on my computer but it won't copy back to my phone, or onto my ipad.

assuming you are using the same account you should be able to get it onto your laptop.
is your laptop version of itunes authorised to play things using your account (in itunes, go to the store menu at the top, click authorise computer)

Not a good idea.
What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

Why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

Why can't I listen to music and read simultaneously?

hmm, well have you ever tried to run the music app in the bakground before? Double click the home button and bring up the music app. Select you music and you should hear it when you switch back to your NY times.app.
You can do this. HOWEVER, never used the NY times app before. ****IF the NY times has streaming media capability, this would be why you can't listen to music simultaneously while reading.
Not all news readers have the ability to allow music in the background.
Hope this helps!

why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini after the ios8 update?

The mail app is crashing on you for some reason. Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help, you can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
