Is all my music in iTunes stored in iCloud?

Is all my music in iTunes stored in iCloud?  I have copied all of my music CDs to my iTunes on my PC and set up my playlists.  I see all my music and playlists on my iPad and SOME of my music in the iCloud.  I thought that there was a way to have all my music automatically go to the iCloud and thus leave storage on my iPad open.  I can't figure out what I did wrong.

Your iCloud backup does not hold your actual music. It only holds your iTunes purchase history of music. This will not include your CDs.

  • "Syncing"= Is Ipod really supposed to erase all the music I've stored?

    Is the Ipod really supposed to erase all the music I've stored? It seems that synching is just a euphemism for "erase all your music"? I use 2 different computers (different states) and I can't figure out how to keep it from erasing everything I've worked to store. Am I just missing the "Please don't erase all my music" box? And shouldn't I be able to transfer music I've loaded on a different "authorized" computer to another one?
    thank you for any guidance.

    Click here and follow the instructions; the iPod shuffle can only contain content from one iTunes library at a time.

  • HT201272 I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album.

    I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album. Can anyone help me figure out how to do a single "ALL" music download?
    I even tried synching from mt computer backup but it wont do it.

    You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
    - Make this your syncing computer by:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    - Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

  • Importing all my music to iTunes(Please help me out)

    Hello,
    I just purchased a 20gb ipod today and am havintg some trouble importing all of my music. I have complete music library's in "RealPlayer" "Winamp" and "Windows Media Player", it doesnt matter which one of these i import from(whatevers easier i guess). I have tried the add folder option on "Documents and settings", "my documents" and "program files" and it has only imported around 600 of the 3600 songs in my music library.
    Also, i have read pages and pages on this board trying to find an answer. I saw one post which talked about this very issue but it was never resolved. It confronted importing from windows media to iTunes and the answer was to highlight all the music and drag it over to iTunes. This Does Not Work. I highlight all my song, hold down on the mouse and move it over to the iTunes box. However once i leave the Windows media box the arrow from my mouse turns into a circle w/a line acrosse, not allowing me to drag it.
    Please Give me an answer on how I can import all my music to iTunes. If you do I will kiss your feet and applaud your genious.
    Please help me out.

    Hi,
    No. I never found a solution to the problem to import my music libary from Realplayer to itunes.
    I have exhausted everything that I know and have read as tips from this and other posts.
    Please come back to post an answer if you find a solution and I will do the same.
    I am going to go ahead and just synch to Realplayer to fill up my ipod. Then I will see if I can switch to itunes for all future synching and hope that I can find a way not to lose the music on my ipod that came from Realplayer. If this doesn't work, I will have to stick with Realplayer as my main music interface and synching for ipod.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash

    Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed.  itune store doesn't show all my purchases.  How do I get all my music back?

    Browse your iTunes folder.  Do you have files in folder in your media folder?  In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
    Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right?

  • Mountain lion crash when opening logic photobooth and lost all my music in itunes.

    Why are apple apps crashing in Mountain Lion. Logic, Photobooth, iphoto and lost all my music in Itunes?

    you might need to reinstall ML from the Recovery Partition.
    To get to the recovery partition restart your computer,  hold CMD+R down when you hear the boot up chime. Open Disk Utility first (verify your boot disk and repair if needed) and then close it and reinstall ML. 

  • I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on.  Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5.  I need to free up space on my iPhone.  If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

    The same is true for photo's.  I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space.  Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

    This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
    Backup the device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.

    You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
    This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

    If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

    If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.
