CD-->Itunes-->Ipad problem

Hi,

I transferred my CDs to Itunes (v 11.0.2.26) on my PC. I want to put them on my IPAD. I connect a USB cable to my IPAD. I see "IPAD " in the top RIGHT of itunes, but I do not see it under "file" devices". It seems to do a sync of tunes from ipad to Itunes....but I cant get it to put my CD music, that is on itunes, onto the IPAD. Internet instructions say there will be a devices list in left sidebar. I see "devices" under the file menu, but all options are dimmed. There is no sidebar with the device where I could presumably drag things to.

I must be missing something. Have fiddled for endless hours....any help much appreciated!

John
