Q: I have 1700 songs on my old iPad 2 that I would like to upload them to my iCloud music file so that I can access them from my iPad 4 and my iPhone 5.

How can I load the songs out of my old iPad 2 in to the iCloud so that I can then access them from my newer iPad 4 and my iPhone 5? I have updated the iPad 2 software to the latest iOS available?

    You can only subscribe to iTunes Match, and upload your music to it, from your computer's iTunes library - you can't do it from an iPad.

     

    If they are iTunes purchases then you might be able to redownload them on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (and on your iPad 4 and iPhone via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on them). For music that you got from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if it's no longer on your computer and you don't have it on a backup, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
