Can you install iTunes on the new iPad Pro? can I also transfer my iTunes library from my Windows PC to the new iPad? My old iPad is long dead and gone and I have just been using iTunes on my old PC, I now want to buy another iPad and have all my music on it.......Thanks
In an attempt to provide needed clarity, iTunes as a service was re-branded some time ago as Apple Music. At the same time, the related Apps on devices were similarly renamed.
iTunes as an App remained with Mac until its functionality was subsumed into Finder and the new Music App - at which time references to iTunes disappeared.
For Windows PC, the iTunes for Windows application is very much still alive and kicking. iTunes for Windows provides multiple services - such as providing synchronisation functions for connected Apple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod) and access to the Apple Music services, media and associated subscriptions from the PC.
iTunes for Windows also maintains your Music Library - where a copies of your music copied from CD and other external media reside. When your iPad/iPhone/iPod are synchronised with your PC using iTunes, your Music Library is copied to the device.
As such, when you purchase a new device, you simply need to synchronise the new device with your PC using iTunes for Windows; subject to your settings, your entire Music Library or elements of it will be copied to the new device - simple.
The most recent version of iTunes for Windows supports Windows 10 and 11 - although older versions of iTunes remain available for Windows 7 and 8. The legacy versions of iTunes for Windows still offer full synchronisation services. However, should your newer Apple devices ever need to be restored or updated by the Windows PC, you may need access to the current version of iTunes - this entailing use of Windows 10 or 11.

I hope this provides some useful clarity - and confirmation that you can transfer your existing iTunes Music Library to your new iPad.

iTunes is No More: For a more recent Apple device, the TV app is used for TV Shows and Movies, and the Music app is used for Music. Find Out More Here: What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support
So, correct me if I'm wrong, iTunes is now Apple Music, is that correct? the little tile on my PC still says iTunes when I place the mouse over it but when I open it it says Apple Music with the apple logo.....still the same but a different name?

Are you using a PC or a Mac?
If it is a PC(AKA Windows computer), then it would be using iTunes. There should not be a different name. What you need to do is log into the Same Apple account on all of these devices, and then import the music.
If it is a Mac of macOS Catalina or later, however, then iTunes does not exist —it has the TV app for lTV Shows and Movies, and the Music App for music.
It's a Windows PC, what I should have said was.......the program is still called iTunes on my PC, I receive a Tax Invoice for a music purchase from Apple, but in the body of the email it still states the purchase is from the iTunes Store and has the Apple logo, yet supposedly iTunes is no more?? yet i am still buying music etc through it, how is it possible??
I only have iTunes on my Windows PC, i did have it on an older iPod that is long dead and gone, I want to buy a new iPod Pro and move my music/video purchases over to it.......is this possible??
Thanks guys you have been an immense help. As I mentioned I'm going to buy a new iPad Pro and was just concerned that I wouldn't be able to transfer my iTunes library, there is a lot of misinformation out there and I did not want to shell out the big dollars on a new piece of kit if it was not going to do what I want it to do.
Again, thanks everyone 👍
You are welcome.
You are very welcome. I’m delighted that you have the information and clarity that you need.
