One way:

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side to select and sync the music that you want in the iPad's Music app.

Other Way:

iTunes cannot allow user to cpy data from iPad air to comptuer directly, you need to use third pary app like: iStonsoft ipad to computer transfer, Vibosoft iPhone/iPad/iPod to computer transfer:

I just changed from the new iPad to iPad Air, and i used a tool my friend suggested me, named iPubsoft iPad to Mac Transfer to get all my files, including songs, photos, movies, etc. from my old iPad to iPad Air! It is a good helper to manage iPad files well! So if you want to copy iPad files to Mac computer, don't miss it!

You can use TransPad, available from the appstore at $25. Either of these enable you to connect to and browse Macs or PCs on the network, and other computers can browse the iPad. Files can be transferred to and from the iPad. I purchased imac last weekend and my iPad 2 appears as a share in Finder on my MBP. It also appears in Network on my Windows desktop PC.

The publisher of imac has another product, Desktop Connect, which allows you to make VPN connections from the iPad.

Hi, yu_zhang32

This is really a annoying problem. But I finnally find out how to transfer music from iPad to Mac.

Thanks for your advices.One of my friend suggested me to google on the internet, and I found the answer I want here.

Easiest, and free option i found is DeTune... like, its stupid simple drag and drop your music and it copies and thats it... and FREE!    This is ONLY for music, although that is the hardest thing to copy off an i-Device. Photos, use iPhoto or the new photo app built into OS X Yosemite.  

this works. thank you
