I appreciate the info....don't want to spend $40. to do this but will look for some other software to do the job....It sucks that Apple makes us do a run around for what should be a straight forward procedure.

you see it that way because it is a one way sync itunes to Apple device.


you will need to purchase a 3rd party app like touch copy to transfer music from your ipad to itunes.
