I can not use my itunes on my iphone or ipad unless i am within range of wifi. why??

Please help
I run a PA company (Big sound systems) and at events i play music through the system using my ipad or iphone. this has never been a problem until recently. since i updated my OS on my iphone4 and ipad2 i open itunes like normal, select a song and it tells me i can not play the song because it is on my cloud and i am not connected to the internet. as far as i know i never took my music off my phone or ipad and when i plug them in it even tells me space is being taken up on my phone from all the audio stored on it, yet i can not play a single track without connecting to the internet through wifi.
if i had internet everywhere there wouldn't be a problem but thats just not possible. some of the event i do are in the middle of no where and i cant be without my music. Also i can not use my phone like a personal music player like anyone else would just walking around with earphones because as soon as i go out of wifi range i can not play anything from itunes.
why did it have to change in the first place,
please help.

does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show  from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?

  • "Can not connect to iTunes Store" via iPhone and iPad

    I can not connect to iTunes store from my mobile divices.  I can through iTunes on my Macbook Pro running Leopard (10.6.8).  My company has not authorized update to Lion yet. 
    I have the same problem on my iPhone and iPad 1.  This has occured since updating to IOS 5.0.1, but I do not know if it is the cause or just a coincidence. 
    Since I can make purchases through my Macbook and sync, it's not a crisis, but just an big irritation. 

    Apple ID problems. 
    An additional consideration might be that I have had Apple ID problems.  With the move to an ID for iCloud my old Apple ID and a new one using an email address got mixed up and in conflict.  It took Apple Support staff to clean it up.  For a few days, everything seemed to be running fine on my new/old/restored single ID.  I did not think this was a problem, because the error sited a connection problem not an ID or password problem.  Could this be a factor?

  • I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

    You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

  • I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    1) Congratulations on purchaing an iMac. But an iMac is not considered a laptop.
    2) Apps you bought for you iPhone and iPad can interchange with each other, but can NOT run on an Imac or a MacBook.
    You will have to buy the same title again from the Mac App Store. When you do, you can run them on your iMac and your MacBook.

  • HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • Can I use home sharing between my iPhone and iPad? Or do I need to use a computer?

    I want to use home sharing between my iPhone and Ipad. So I can use the remote app. But I can't get it to work

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • Can not use imessage/facetime on new iPhone 5 and can not get iPhone 4s and 5 to remember any wireless networks.

    Two weeks ago I got an iPhone 4s and an iPhone 5 from a local carrier in central and eastern Kentucky called Appalachian Wireless. We had our numbers ported with AT&T. My iPhone 4s can use imessage/facetime but my wife's iPhone 5 can not. It just says waiting for activation and after several hours it will then say activation unsuccessful please turn imessage/facetime off and back on to activate. When we got the iPhones my carrier said it could take 30 days to activate due to our numbers being ported. My 4s took less than 3 hours to activate imessage/facetime but my wife's 5 still hasn't activated. A few days ago we went back to our carrier to get a problem fixed with our regular text messaging and we informed of our problem with imessage/facetime and they told us the most it has taken to activate was 2 days. I know I can use an apple id/e-mail to use imessage/facetime but I want her number to show up. Also neither iPhone will remember our wireless network. Every time we leave our house and come back we have to go to settings and choose our network. Is there a way I can fix these problems and have her imessage/facetime activated and use her phone number and have our iPhones remember our wireless network?

    As these are user to user support forums, there will be no official response from Apple posted here. 
    Basic forum ettiquette is search before posting, so why post again if you've already searched?  Seems rather unintelligent.

  • I can not use my iTunes it keeps asking me two secrurty question that I was not asked when I set it upa

    I Can't get music from iTunes it keeps asking for a secruity questions I was not asked for when I set up my itunes

    If you log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com and select the Password And Security section of your account are you able to set the questions ? If not then is there a reset link beneath the questions on that screen (the link will only show if you have a rescue email address, which is not the same thing as an alternate email address, on your account) ?
    If you can't set them or reset them yourself then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security.
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

  • Can not use my linksys cams on iphone 5

    i have two linksys cams that i haven't beable to see on my iphone 5 they will work on the iphone 4 but not the 5 any ideas?????

    If you want to mirror the phone screen to a TV you need the HDMI adapter (assuming your TV has HDMI input) from your iPhone to an HDMI cable.
    An even better solution is to get an AppleTV and then you can mirror wirelessly to your TV from your iPhone. That works great!
