Why will my music from iTunes not sync to my iPad?

I tried to drag music from my library to the iPad and the music files are all in grey. I've have reconnected the iPad but they still will not show. I have also restarted my iPad and computer. All songs and playlist from iTunes are there but are all greyed out. All music synced fine to my iPhone and iPod touch. HELP?!

I forgot to mention that I am using Windows 8. Don't know if that helps?

Why does my downloaded film from iTunes not sync to my iPhone?

I cannot work out how to get my iPhone to sync and include the film I've just downloaded from iTunes. Feel as if I've tried all the obvious things. Any clues welcome?

Have you gone to the video tab (in itunes) and selected sync movies and selected the movie that you want synced?

Purchased music from itunes not transferring

I have some music I purchased from itunes on my computer but it won't go onto to ipod touch, it says I am not authorised??? How do I make it so I am authorised??? They went on my old ipod without any problems, are you only allowed to put them on one ipod?
Thank you in advance for any answers

You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

Why can't I get music videos to NOT sync on the iPad

So I have recently updated to iOS 7 on my daughter's iPad 2. Out of the blue, now because not before, all the music videos on my computer sync to her iPad. I have the include music videos unchecked under music. I have the sync only checked songs and videos on the summary screen. The only thing checked to sync under music is the genre Christian and Gospel. Yet, every music video on my computer are being pushed into her iPad. Most of the videos are not 8-year suitable in my opinion. Britney Spears new videos, Ke$sha, Eninem, etc... Can someone tell me how to get my wife's filth videos off my 8-year old's iPad? PLEASE!!!!

Why do my imessages from iphone not sync onto my macbook pro messages

Basically my iPhone 4 syncs perfectly to iPad, though my new MacBook Pro won't sync over any of the old messages... Help?

You can, but it's a bit involved and requires using an app. Probably not worth it for only 5 contacts. If you're interested in how you would do this, you would do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap each of the other accounts you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

Does the song have DRM protection?

ITunes not syncing photos to iPad

Hi,
Following an iTunes upgrade I was left with iTunes not working on my Windows PC. Following help from another member, I removed all the Apple apps from my PC, deleted the recommended directories and reinstalled iTunes. The software is now working, but I'm having problems syncing my photos to my iPad.
When I tried to sync, the backup woudl work and apps appeared to be synced, but when it got to the photos it seemed to hang. I researched some similar issues on this forum which said to delete the iPod Photo Cache, so did that.
When I next performed a sync with my iPad, all my albums were deleted from Photos on my iPad, although I think the photos themselves may still be on there, juding by the amount of space assigned to Photos (as shown in iTunes).
Now when I sync my iPad with my Windows PC it doesn't take long to sync the photos, but I can still see no photos or albums.
My Photo Stream is still updating when photos are taken on other devices.
How can I get my photos to reappear on the iPad?

that didnt work unfortunately.
I have a new hunch however - I think it may be photos from my new camera that its not syncing. Im not sure why this may be though?!
My new one is a Nikon D5100 and the old one was a Nikon D50. I havent a clue why this may be. ( a few photos taken with the new camera ARE syncing accross though)
would anybody have any ideas why this may be?
thanks again!

Getting Apple TV to play music from iTunes using Remote App on iPad

Hi
I play my iTunes Library music on my Apple TV. I use the Remoe App to select songs etc.
However, if I stream (push) from iTunes to Apple TV the subwoofer does not play (this is a well know problem). However, if I pull the music from the Apple TV (by selecting computers) it plays as it should.
When using the Remote App on my iPhone 4S I simply select the Apple TV 3, then select "More" - "Computers" and then the library. Select the music and all is good. When I select More I get all sorts of different options (Albums, Composers, Computers and six others).
However, when I do the exact same thing on the Remote App on my iPad 2 I only get the options of Songs, Playlists, Genres and Composers - but not Computers.
It doesn't seem to make much sense, does it?
I can of course select the iTunes library on the iPad and stream to the Apple TV but then I get the subwoofer problem.
Any solutions?
Thanks!

Press the Music In ... to the left of "Albums" at the bottom of the Remote App and select a different library to show in the app. That seems to do it.

TS4062 Why can't I get iTunes to sync with my iPad over wifi?

After doing everything suggested in the troubleshooting guide, I still cannot get iTunes to recognize my device (iPad) unless I use direct USB connection. I even selected the wifi checkbox in iTunes when my USB cable was connected. This happened after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (it worked fine before).

Hello rhofer

Exclaimation Points "!" next to most of my music in iTunes - not syncing

I am trying to move everything to a new compture. I copied my music folders over, reinstalled iTunes. When I sync with my iPod Nano, says cannot locate origional files. I try to add folders where my music is located. Does not help. ??
Tammie!

This exact thing happened to me. When it says "would you like to locate the file" click yes. You will have to find each individual file, and it takes a very long time. I think it has something to do with the organization of the itunes music folder.

Songs purchased from iTunes not syncing

In the last week I have purchased 3 songs from the iTunes store using my iPhone. Whilst these songs do show up on both the phone and on my iTunes itself, whenever I play them on the iPhone and then sync the phone it doesn't register that I've listened to them recently. Also, I havre added them to a custom made playlist on several occasions, and then when i sync my phone they disappear from the playlist and I have to put them back every time. I have tried adding them to this playlist using both the iPhone and iTunes, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have a playlist on iTunes of songs I have purchased, and these 3 songs do not appear in the list.
Can anyone tell me why this may be and if there is any way I can fix it?
Many thanks

thanks
