Copy music from iPhone to iPad

You cannot copy music directly from an iPhone to an iPad.

The original synchronization model for the iPod – which forms the basis for the way that iPhones and iPads operate – was that you copied music from a master library on a computer, to a mobile device. Never from a mobile device to a computer, or to another mobile device.

So if you loaded your iPhone with music from your computer, the solution would be to load your iPhone with music from your computer in the same way. Or if you bought music from the iTunes Store, you could check to see if you could redownload it (without additional charge) on the iPad.

Note: If you have an Apple Music subscription or an iTunes Match subscription and are also using "Sync Library" (a feature available only with one of those subscriptions).
