MYmacRox & Chas_m,
Thanks for the replies. This is my first iPad (iPad Air) and the software on my iPad, MacBookPro, and iTunes is all updated. Compared to most users of iTunes I have very little music stored in my iTunes on my MBP. Still, I don't want all the music in iTunes on my MBP to be on my iPad.
I can sync my iPad without difficulty and add or remove Apps or Kindle books - it's just with the music on my iPad that I am having a lot of trouble. In iTunes on my MBP shouldn't I be able to "check" the songs I want to be synced to my iPad?
Also, I have a few CD albums I purchased (George Winston music) and I received the actual CD in a case - these albums were NOT digital downloads - and of course I did not purchase them from the Apple store. My several year old MBP has a CD/DVD slot so I copied those CDs into iTunes on my MacBookPro. Shouldn't I be able to sync those to my iPad?
At this point I would like to take ALL the music off my iPad and start over with syncing music to my iPad but I can't even do that! I guess I need to go buy a hard copy of an "iPad For Dummies" book and learn how to manage music on my iPad.
Thanks for your replies,
Bill
