My old macbook pro crashed and I bought a new one and trying to transfer all my music/data/library from ipad onto new computer. But It's only transferring a few songs I've purchased and nothing else... how come it won't sync any other songs I have? Theres like a total of 1465 songs but only about 10 purchased ones are transferring whenever I try to sync...
iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
