Can I transfer my music library from my iPad air to my Macbook air? If so how? Robert

There are two ways to do this. (1): Plug the iPad into your USB connector on the Mac, then use iTunes to sync it directly. This will store the tracks onto the iPad. Or, (2) - and my preference... is to use an iCloud account to sync the music using iTunes between both your mac and your iPad. In this case, you don't need to fill up the iPad with the actual tracks - just make them available to play when you're on line! The important thing is to decide if you have enough space on your iPad to actually store your music (e.g. option 1, or (option 2), keep it stored on your mac, then stream it to the iPad when on line).

yes, i transferred data from an iMac to a macbook, but it works the same. You will just have to make the computer you are transferring TO like a disk (I forget how, but I got a good tutorial on a forum with one quick google search -- you just start the computer in a certain mode with a disk utility or something). best to you!

Thanks for your advice. The flip side of the beauty of not being locked into iTunes sounds like I would have to purchase a whole new library though, if I was not able to transfer from iTunes. True? And how would I be able to transfer music off my CD's into a Sansa?

Yes it is! I love my macbook. it works great. No issues... Bluetooth software is an older version so We can't AirDrop from our iphones but that is it...not a big deal

This item did not work on my Macbook Air. I had the same issue. I sent it back. Still trying to figure it out. I have to take a trip to the apple store...THere is No MIRRORING option.

1- You Can Store The iTunes Library To It, But You Have To Open The Data Folder Every Time U Open Your Mac. 2- I Couldn't Find A Way To Stream From It.

As long as your Mac air has bluetooth, it connects really well to any bluetooth device. Have used with tablets, iPhones, Android phones, almost anything.

Just plug the thing into your PC (I have no experience using it w/ a Mac) and it will appear as an new drive - perhaps the E drive or F drive. Then simply drag and drop music files to that drive. Good Luck

It worked for me. I transferred files from an old PC laptop to my MacBook but it took some effort to figure it out. I have since found an easier (and free) way to do this. Your Mac has a built in application called Migration Assistant. It can be found by clicking on the Finder icon, then click on Applications. You'll then go to Utilities and that's where you'll find Migration Assistant. Very easy to follow steps and it walks you right through them. You gotta love the Apple geniuses.

I don't have an iPad, but you should be able to do that. I have been putting them on discs & flash drives and importing to my Sansa-cClip.

Its drag and drop. If u mean drag and drop as in say you drag something from iTunes to your music folder that works

Start using Apple Lossless and get Uncompressed Music....that will blow away any MP3 file! Bummer of it is it will take up more room. 120 GB will still fit more than 6000 songs in Apple Lossless Quality is always better than QuantityMagoo

JW, I'm ordering a AE to do exactly what you are looking to do. My PB needs some space cleared up so I'm planning to put the majority of the music on the external hard drive attached to the AE. Are you able to use the N-spec on your mac laptops? If so then you should have no problem. Remember they brought this out with teh appleTV which is going to stream movie content over the N network, so music should be easy.

My husband has transferred DVDs to our iPhone and iPad. I don't know exactly how he did it, but it can be done. Maybe through a cloud? That would be my guess. Alright, he said he used some type of software.
