How can I get iTunes Match to download songs on new iphone5s?
Hi, I just exchanged the iphone4 for for the iphone 5s. For five days now it says 'Loading iTunes Match' on the display of the new phone when I go to 'Music'. Same thing for photographs. What can I do?
So far I've checked that all the right things are enabled, but I'm wondering if I've missed something. It worked more or less fine on the iphone 4. I went through similar topics on this notice board and tried the solution of deleting the old iphone from the list of devices.
It won't update to 7.0.3 because it says something about the iPhone having to restore from the iCloud backup...
The only thing that's out of the ordinary with my account, is that the apple shop originally set me up with a second itunes account for icloud when 'me' got discontinued. Does this matter? I never had issues like this with the iphone 4.
I hope someone can help! I work with both music and photographs! If all else fails, I am willing to stop using iclouds...
Please let me know if you had the same issues and found a solution!! Thanks! rheia@
I just decided to not heed the warning about loosing data if I updated to 7.0.3 before the iPhone was finished restoring from the iCloud back up and it worked!! I'm getting my songs now! It's downloading my music! :-) Don't know about the photos yet, but I guess I'll find out.

My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. Well, my old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out years ago and will not activate. I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

How can I get iTunes to stop downloading iTunes extras with movies?
How can I get Itunes to stop downloading the movie extras? We never watch them and they are wasting space on my harddrive. Each time I delete them, Itunes redownloads the extras.
Thx, and I agree.
I'm selecting that "my question has been answered" here - because the answer is NO. It's apparently not possible. Which is frakkin' ridiculous, and I'd love to be proven wrong. But that's how it appears to be.
What I ended up doing was first backing up all my data by downloading an app called DiskAid (free, Windows and OS X), and actually digging through my iPhone's folder system until I found the right Applications folder, and clicked through each subfolder until I found the Apps whose data I wanted to copy.
For anyone who ever needs to do that, the location is:
/user/Applications/[long string of numbers]/Documents
I was able to back up my apps on my home computer. So I still am not able to sync up any part of my phone at my work computer, without risking deleting these files. Basically I've minimized the possible damage by making backups.
Whatev. I'll live. : ) Beautiful phone. Just so irritating. -
Hi
I have downloaded 6 songs from Soundcloud.
iCloud doesn't recognise them and i have the 'Waiting' iCloud symbol.
How can i change those icons as i can't put any of the songs into a playlist?Sounds like you are trying to manually delete content from your device via iTunes. If so, you'll want to make sure your iPod is set up for manual management by enabling the Manually manage music option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

How can I get iTunes to actually download?
iTunes won't download on my computer. It takes me to the "Thank you for downloading iTunes" page, but nothing ever happens. I have a laptop with Windows 7 and the pop-up where you can run or save never appears. Please help!
See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.

I use a spicing program that does not support iTunes. I need to be able to convert my songs to MP3's. I was able to do that from my old laptop but now that I have a new one and everything is converted to the new one I noticed that the MP3 is not on there it is now AAC. Does anyone know how to convert to MP3's now? I am in the same version of iTunes but it is not the same. ODD and FUSTRATING!!
Change the default encoder to MP3. iTunes will then give you the option to convert any unprotected file in your library to MP3; this won't work with very old iTunes Store purchases.

After purchasing a song in the iTunes store, the song was downloaded, but when I went to play it, it was not completely recorded. How can I get a refund or download it again without being charged again on my account?
Hi Dan,
If the song does not appear in your Purchased folder, then you can go back to the Store, select the song again, go select "Buy", and press Enter. iTunes knows you already purchased it, so it won't charge you again. It will, in fact, tell you that you have already purchased this item, and will ask you if you want to download it again for free....
Just in case it is not to be found in the Purchased folder!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

how can i get itunes to recognize my iphone (the first one) so i can download its info so i can then download that into my new iphone 4s.???
Including going through all of Step 5? That can take some time, and should fix the problem. You have also removed and reinstalled iTunes following the steps in this support document? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 As a last resort, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376

How can I get itunes to download and install?
How can I get itunes to download and install?
You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software. -

How can I get iTunes library on my laptop to play all downloaded songs/videos?
Not all my songs/videos play in the iTunes library on my laptop. I also have songs on an iPod and and iPod shuffle, and made a separate playlist for my iPhone and iPad. How can I listen to all my downloaded songs on my laptop again?
You can't; iTunes doesn't have the code necessary to play DVDs, not even ones you created.

How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
Frustratedly yours
Alan Whitaker
PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).Dear Mike
Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me
