What version of iOS software are you running on the iPad? Settings>General>About>Version. If you are not running iOS 5, you cannot create new albums on the iPad.

You will need to use the computer that you sync with, running the most recent version of iTunes. Connect the iPad to the computer, click on the iPad name on the left, click on the Summary Pane of the iTunes window on the right, and then click on the Check for Update button.

This explains it as well.

You can use any computer to update, but you will lose everything that you have on your iPad, so that's why you really should use your own syncing computer.

I recommend this as well ....

What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.

However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.

If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

Transfer purchases.
