Why can't I transfer music on my computer to my Ipad?

I recently pudated Itunes and my Ipad and Iphone.  Now I can't get any music on my computer to sync with my Ipad or Iphone.  The songs show up in the Itunes menu to be sinced, but they are greyed out.  This is making my Ipad totally useless.  Is there some trick to it or am I stuck with a $600 useless piece of junk?

Well I figured it out on my own.  After updating Itunes, I couldn't sync any music that wasn't purchased from Itunes which I mentioned above.  I later discovered that 90% of all music i had allready had on my Ipad would no longer play either.
The fix; delete everything from the Ipad and re-sync.  It looks like all of my CD rips, home recordings, Internet purchases and Itunes purchases are all working now.

    Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
    The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
    have tried many times, what am I wrong?
    Thank you in advance!

    Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice?  And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
    I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air.  Not sure if this will help you but...
    In your itunes client music library:
    Right click on one music file
    Hover over the Add to Playlist option
    Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
    See if that helps move the music file over.  If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file.  The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

    Fast answers:
    1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.

    2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
    3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

  • Why can't I get music from my computer on to my ipod?

    I have the music I need from a CD on my PC.  I can not get the music to then transfer to my iPod.  The computer is authorized, but I have never been able to transfer music.  Please help.

    Your computer should not need to be authorised in order to put music from CDs onto your iPod.

    What happens when you try?
    How do you try to put the music onto the iPod, are you using the Sync method or are you using Manually Manage?
    You have imported this CD music into your iTunes Library, haven't you? (I see no mention of iTunes, which is why I ask.)
    Even more basic, you have installed iTunes on your PC, haven't you?

  • Can you syn your music from your computer to your ipad?

    I need help to get my music from my computer to my ipad

    Make sure that you select the option 'manualy select items' in iTunes on your computer. After this check the boxes next to all of the songs in iTunes that you want on your iPad. After doing so you are going to need to apply the settings. You may need to reinstall some items back onto your iPad after the settings are applied. Make sure that the box in iTunes under music is selected. Then click sync.

  • Why can't i transfer music from my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5.

    Hey guys.
    I was wondering how i'm able to put music from the itunes on my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5.
    when i connect the usb it says
    The iphone " insert name " cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    i downloaded the latest itunes to no effect.
    any advice would be so appreciated, i just got my iphone today. music is the only thing i really want on it.
    thank you in advance.

    Hello Likolette,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're unable to move files to your external hard drive ever since it was unplugged before being ejected.  To start troubleshooting this issue, I'd like you to please repair the disk using Disk Utility.

  • Why can't I transfer music from my iphone to itunes on a new computer

    I just installed itunes on a new computer but it will not let me transfer the songs on my iphone. I have already authorized the computer but it keeps asking me to do so.
    Thanks

    You should transfer your library from your old computer to the new one.
    If that is not possible then you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Why can't I transfer music files from i-Tunes to my 30GB ipod?

    I have just updated the software on my ipod, and now there seems to be a major problem. When I drag a song from the i-Tunes library to the ipod folder it has a 30% success rate - the other 70% gets the message "attempting to copy to the disk 'name' failed. An unknown error occured (-48)." What on earth does this mean?
    NB. yes my preferences are set to manual update

  • Why can't I listen music when i play games on ipad 3

    I used to play games while listening to music on my old ipad. With the new ipad, I can't. Is there anything I can do to be able to play games while playing music?

    Evidently - and I am adminittedly speculating - some app will pause another audio source when they are started of have an audio stream of their own. In most cases, the built in Music App will continue playing when another app is closed, unless something like Netflix or the Podcast app is started. I"m guessing the mix of apps you are using works something like that. Very unlikley there is anything you can do to change it.

  • Why can't i transfer videos from my computer to my itunes?

    I have videos on my computer and i want to put them on my itunes so i can upload them on to my ipod but it doesn't seem to work

    iTunes and the video-capable iPods support only a limited set of video formats. Your videos need to be in these supported formats. Check this Apple document for details...
    iTunes/iPod video FAQ
    Which includes this little tidbit of info:
    What video content works with iTunes and iPod?
    iTunes:
    Video content purchased from the iTunes Store.
    QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player.
    Video podcasts.

  • Can I transfer music from my computer to ipad?

    Before I buy an iPad, I have some questions. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I've not had a tablet before.
    Can I transfer music from my computer to my ipad? I do not plan to purchase itunes.
    Can I download apps like kindle and nook to get books from my local library and other sources?
    Can I get a pdf reader app so I can download them to my ipad?
    Can I put movies on my ipad from my computer?
    Thanks.

    You can sync music and other content to an iPad via your computer's iTunes (a free download from here) - you don't have to purchase anything in order to use the program. You can buy music from Apple, from other sites and/or copy your own CDs via iTunes, and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.

    I don't know what country that you are in, but there is a Kindle app available for the iPad in a number of countries (the app is free) which can be linked to your Amazon account so you can download your kindle ebooks into it. There are also Nook and Kobo ereader apps.
    There are also a number of PDF reader apps for the iPad, some of them free like Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and some which are paid-for which are more powerful e.g. GoodReader.
    Films can be purchased from Apple, or there are other sites such as Netflix with their own apps. The iPad natively supports a number of video formats (they are listed on this page).
    There is a manual for the iPad here which has some info on it's built-in apps (plus iBooks which is a free download) : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
