How do I insert a CD to the iPad 2?

I'm trying to put a cd into the iPad 2 to play a track but the slot underneath the screen won't allow me. What can I do?

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.1

Syncing music to the iPad is a very simple procedure, practically nearly everyone knows this, even you come to think about it. However this is not what you asked in your original post as I quote; I'm trying to put a cd into the iPad 2 to play a track but the slot underneath the screen won't allow me. What can I do?


To ask such a question has to be a joke, most if not all can see this, including yourself, hence silly answers to a silly question.

Yes, the iPad wasn't designed to play CDs. If the CD content was ripped into iTunes:


  1. Sync the iPad with your Mac/PC.
  2. Select your iPad in the left frame of the Main iTunes Window.
  3. Select the "Music" option in the middle window (It should be the fifth option to the left of "Summary").
  4. Make sure the checkbox "Sync Music" is selected.
  5. Also, make sure the radio button option 'Entire Music Library" is selected.
  6. Click the "Sync" button on the lower right corner of the iTunes window to sync music onto the iPad.


If the following doesn't work or if don't understand the above instructions, call Apple Support.
