You cannot transfer from iPad or iPhone to your computer. It’s not allowed to do that, you can however, transfer from the Computer to the iPad or iPhone. If they are songs that you downloaded from iTunes then they should be able to be downloaded from your iTunes account on to the other devices as well. You also can’t transfer from device to device, but again, if it’s from iTunes and that’s how you got them on your iPad, then you’ll be able to download them on the iPhone and computer.
