Transfer music from MacBook OS 10.6.8 to iPad

How can I transfer music from the iTunes Library on my antique MacBook running OS 10.6.8 to my iPad?

When I hook them up via USB/lightning cable, iTunes on the MacBook doesn't "see" the iPad...

TIA for all help!

OK, thanks.

I've sucked the music I want from the old MacBook onto a USB stick, and from there got it into a Playlist within iTunes on my real computer, an iMac running Mojave (10.14.6). It's a dozen tracks, all mp3.

Now what? Surely I can export that playlist to my iPad somehow?

Connecting iPad to iMac by USB/lightning cable, I'd expect iTunes on the iMac to "see" the iPad-- but alas, no.

Again, TIA for help!!
