How to sync music from iTunes-PC to iPad

A real 101 question. I have connected the iPad to my laptop. iTunes on my laptop sees the iPad

I dragged the Music folder of my PC on iPad icon and I saw the syncing happening

How does one find the music that copied from my PC to iPad? In my iPad's itunes I see only the paid music from itunes store.

Not quite sure what you saw going on, but it wasn't syncing your music. What you need to do is open iTunes on your computer, go to the File Menu and choose "Add to library" in order to add music to your iTunes app. Only music that is in your iTunes app can sync to your iPad (or iPhone, or iPod). If you delete music from iTunes, the next time you sync your iPad it will be removed.

If you're having trouble with this, check out the iTunes for WIndows board. : )

I open up iTunes on my PC and then plug in my iPad. It then displays under devices on the left-hand side in iTunes. I then click on my iPad listed under devices. I have the option of clicking the sync button in the lower right hand side of the screen. Once I click sync, then the iPad will visually indicate that it is syncing. When it is finished syncing, the text message will be gone on your iPad and you can then use it. The items should be stored in iPod app on the iPad.
