A:

iTunes on your computer should be the primary place housing your music.

 

You cannot copy music from an iPad to another iOS device - or to anywhere, for that matter.  Music comes from somewhere into your iPad - it does not go out from your iPad.

 

Purchased music is an exception - but you did not purchase this music in the iTunes Store.

    What does "send music from iPad to iPhone" mean?

     

    • Does it mean play music on the iPad that resides on the iPhone?  You cannot do this.
    • Does it mean copy music from the iPad to the iPhone?
      • Would this music be purchased from the iTunes Store?  If so, you can get it on the iPhone from the iTunes Store.
      • If it's other music (not purchased in the Store), it cannot be copied.  It would have to come from a computer.

    • I mean by send copy
    • yes this music is not purchased in the store and I can't do this action with iTunes in my computer as there is a problem with it " I've just updated iTunes on my computer , and when syncing  my iPhone a message says that iTunes needs to remove all the contents on my iPhone as it can't be synced by two different versions " and I don't wanna to remove my contents .

    Are you using the same computer to sync, or are you using a new computer? If the computer is the same one, and you only updated iTunes, you "should not" have an issue. That being said, how do you back up your iPad and iPhone? Are they both logged in to the same Apple ID and are they both using the same iTunes computer and library?

     

    You can back up your iPhone before syncing and everything will be saved in your backup. Then try to sync, and if there is an issue after the sync, restore from the backup.
