Why can't they put a fully functioning iTunes like they have on an iMac or Pro on an iPad?

For years I used a lot of the more sophisticated programs on my iMac. I no longer have any use for them. Mainly what I do is collect music and store it in iTunes. If I could, I would do away with my old iMac and Pro and just use iPads. However, from what I can tell, the iTunes app on iPad is not like iTunes on a Mac computer. You can't create a wishlist, there is no "My Alerts" or "Just Added" and it doesn't show anywhere near the new material each week as a Mac computer. Plus you can't EQ songs on an iPad the way you can on a Mac. You can apply EQ, but you can't customize the EQ on individual songs as you play them. Am I missing something here, or can someone explain to me why iTunes on a Mac is different than iTunes on an iPad?

iPads are not Macs.
They are supplementary devices with limited storage.
They are not intended to fully replace pcs.

  • Why can't I sync my music in iTunes when I have enough space?

    I bought a new laptop and downloaded the new iTunes, I thought that when you sync to a new iTunes it automatically deletes what's on you iPhone and puts whatever is on your new iTunes. 
    I currently have ~1000 songs on my iPhone at the moment (There is still free space available on my iPhone, but not a lot) and have tried to sync with my new itunes that only has 600 but it won't let me because it's saying I need additional space? If my iPhone can fit 1000 songs on it at the moment, why can't it reduce it to 600? I don't understand.
    Also, sorry if this is in the wrong category, please let me know so I can move it.

    Sometimes a simple restart or reset of the iPad will help.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, check out this support article.

  • Why can't I skip songs fast on iTunes like on my iPod touch?

    Like on my iPod when i'm listening to music i can skip to other songs very fast, but on iTunes its pretty slow.. like i can skip about 3 songs in a row before my clicking does nothing on the skip icon.

    I've been having this issue too. But I can't even skip more that 1 before the button stops being a button and turns into a simple icon...

  • Why can't apple put a simple audible low battery indicator on the iphone?

    I get so tired of having my iphone shut down on me mid-conversation. My screen is black and up to my ear; my phone is in my purse while I'm talking on my blue tooth and also has a black screen; or my phone is on my hip with a black screen while I talk with my earphones. How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen? That information would be very helpful if I weren't on my blue tooth. Actually, that 2% low battery notification would very helpful to me if my phone weren't up to my ear with a black screen. Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?

    " How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen?"
    You cannot.
    " Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?"
    They can.  They have simply chosen not to do so.

  • Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

    Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

    I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

  • Why can't i put my emails into folders

    why can't i put my emails into folders

    You must have an IMAP email accounts in order to create additional folders in the mail app on the iPad. There is now way to create folders locally like you can on a computer if you are using a POP email account.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Why Can't I put whatever photos I want on my IPAD?

    That's it. That is my question. Why can't I put more photos on my ipad from whatever computer I feel like it without having to delete the photos on there? It is incredibly frustrating.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • The system requirements for Mavericks used years of production for the computer requirements.  Why can't they use the generational number system?

    Office location where Mac Pro is located has a slow internet connection.  I downloaded Mavericks installer onto thumbdrive.  Attempted to install on a dual 3 core Xenon Mac Pro, model 2,1.  After a few hours, I figured out that the error message that was generated by the installer was telling me that my computer doesn't support Mavericks.  Do other people get confused with which generation of hardware is supported with software?  I understand the difference between PowerPC and Intel.  The tricky part is the difference between 32bit and 64bit with the EFI and the CPU instruction set.  Also, why can't they stick with a clear numbering system that is visible when you get info on the Mac? 

    If you are desperate you can use hackintosh tools to boot in 'legacy' mode which allows 10.9 to run on unsupported Macs. Chameleon bootloader & some google fu will get it running in an unsupported way (assuming your graphics card is supported).
    I think Apple dug this hole when they told everyone that these were '64bit Macs'. Sadly if they don't support 32bit EFI in their new OS it's not going to work by default. In other discussions I have read that drivers need to be rewritten for actual 64bit support on a 32bit EFI.
    I have run 10.8 on my 1,1 MP, but 10.6 was nicer, at some point I'll try 10.9 on it
    P.S. http://mactracker.ca and http://www.everymac.com are handy for working out what model supports what features etc.

  • HT5312 This whole security question crap is a hassle. If I wanted to talk to someone one the phone to have some dumb questions reset, I would call them. Why can't they just send it in my dang e-mail. So forget it. I'll just forego the purchase.

  • Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

    Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

    The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function.  I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used.  I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.

  • If the Airport card is removable... why can't we put a new "N" version in?

    Why can't we put a new card that supports "N" in our recently bougth (under a year old) computers?
    What I dispise is that I personally own 15 Macs and not all of them are the latest models. So this leaves me with a "mixed" network with many of them using "G" cards.
    This slows things down, and in the case of my home network (5 macs including a trusty G4 imac that is in the kitchen serving up music throughout the house) I feel that I will never be able to use the abilities of the "N" networks
    This could lead to the failure of the iTV / Apple TV product for many of us. I am a Mac addict from day one and buy the latest models of everything, but held back on this because it would not work well on a mixed network.
    I hope someone at Apple reads this or realizes this. We need to be able to pop out the Airport card, pay for a new one and pop in the "N" one. This allows us to stay current with the new technology.
    It is not like we don't already know how to install them.
    Does anyone out there sell an aftermarket version? I had heard that Belkin might offer one, but had not seen anything yet.
