    Hello,

     

    If your iPad is a Wi-Fi only model, then you will see an empty library if the moves and music are not downloaded onto your iPad. You can download them by selecting the content and tapping the icon that looks like a cloud that has an arrow pointing down from it. If you iPad is a Wi-Fi and Cellular model, then you iPad can see the content but not play it if cellular data is disabled for those apps. You can turn on data for music and videos by going into the settings app, then into cellular and turn on data for both of them. Again, this only applies if it is a Cellular enabled iPad.
