Anyone notice music playing pauses on IPhone during music sync from the cloud?

I downloaded a album from my Macbook Pro to test the new music auto sync feature on my IPhone. While I was downloading the album on my MBP I started playing the first song that was synced to my IPhone. I noticed that after every song that was synced to my IPhone the music playing would pause for a 1/2 second then continue. I tested this out with WIFI and on 3G and got the same results. I found it a bit annoying and I don't think this is "feature" to let me know a song has been synced onto my IPhone. Now I do understand this feature is in BETA so I hope it gets fixed when its finally released.

I have had this exact same thing happen to me. It is really annoying to have those pauses. Some songs have multiple pauses. I hope this is resolved when the final product is released.

HT5085 I bought music on my iPhone and cannot download from the cloud to my macbook pro.

I have done this in the past with no problem. My computer is a Macbook Pro and is activated for my itunes account. I manually search or the songs Ive bought on my iphone and can see it says purchased but its grey and not clickable. I dont understand why I cannot download them from the cloud into my computer.

What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or if you want music that you buy on your phone to automatically download on your phone then you can use automatic downloads : Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) - that will only apply to new purchases made after you turn it 'on'

Iphone 5s wont restore from the cloud

I just purchased an iphone 5s and am trying to restore from the cloud. I think my contacts are fine but i only get about half of my photos... Why? Please help...

Your Mac would need to be running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, and you had iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher or Aperture 3.2.3 or higher in order to see your photo stream. If you went to System Preferences>iCloud, signed into your account and checked Photos, you would be able to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days (older photos are no longer in iCloud).
I guess I don't know why you would get a message that there isn't enough room to back up your phone if you were restoring a backup. As a long shot, you could try restoring the backup again using the approach posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589 (open the camera roll after the phone restarts during the backup and keep it open until the backup completes). It seems to have worked for some people. Otherwise, you can call Apple support for free if your phone is less than 90 days old: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/. You'll need your serial number to set up the call, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

How do i find music on iphone that is not from the cloud

The list of songs on my iphone is endless, but most of that music is still in the cloud. Is there a way to get the phone to display only the music that is actually physically downloaded onto my phone already? TIA

It sounds like she may be using a different account then the one that was used to purchase 10.8
If you cannot locate the purchase, contact the iTunes Store so they can help you figure out which account it's attached to.

Cant Play Some Songs in My iMac Downloaded From the Cloud

Hello,
Can anyone give a tip to solve this out?
I've signed up for iMatch in order to sync all my songs with the other computers at home plus my iPhone.
I was surprised that many songs are displayed in gray and they just dont play.
I ma not sure if they were purchased from iTunes or belonged to my original library downloaded from other sources.
iTunes show a message about authorize the machine, but when I try to do it, the sistem says it is already authorized.
What can I do?
Tnx.,

Michael,
Thanks for answering.
I had a lot of songs on my old iMac. Some bought at iTunes, many others imported from CDs and also a couple of old files I cant even remember their origins.
I activated iMatch and aparently it worked perfectly upgrading the files. After that, I enabled iMatch in my new iMac. Again it seemed to work, but when I began to play, some of the songs showed up with a gray cloud symbol instead of the usual black one. So, these songes dont play.
Ill try to run it again from the iMac. Maybe the connection have failled on the way...
Thanks again.

I need to be able to have music on my ipad mini that doesnt come from the cloud. I have turned off imatch on my computer and ipad and it still has the cloud symble on the ipad. I really just want imatch gone I have already unsubscribed

I want to get back to just having my music on my computer with none of the cloud problems. I have a limited amount of data download and imatch is killing it. How can get it off and restore iTunes to the way it was before so I can download songs to my devices?

you need to make sure itunes match is disabled in the two locations on your ipad. first is in settings>itunes & app store. the other is in settings>music. hope that works for you.

My iphone 4 is synced with the macbook at home, but I want to copy my music from itunes on my pc at work without touching or loosing anything else than music

...but when I connect it on my pc at work on iTunes and try to check "manually sync songs and videos" I get a window asking to "erase and sync".
But it is not very clear about what is going to be erased. What will it be erased? Only music and videos? Also Apps, emails, contacts, calendar?

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

How do I download previous music purchases from the Cloud to my Macbook Pro?

I recently purchased my first Apple computer, but have been a longtime iPod user, and as of this past February an iPhone user. So upon getting my new Macbook Pro, I of course began to sync what songs I had purchased from iTunes on my old Windows computers, and iPod and iPhone, that were supposed to be stored in the Cloud. Well, as I've been importing all the physical CD's i own, I began to notice that some of my iTunes purchases hadnt downloaded from the Cloud. So now I've gone through my iPod to see what songs are missing and which aren't. I know now that I am missing two full albums, as well as what I think is another 25+ single songs I've downloaded, and unfortuantely I cannot figure out how to retrieve them for the life of me. I'm very frustrated that all my purchases didnt show up from the Cloud in the first place! Any help?

Can i store my music on my device without using my data in my phone plan streaming from the cloud? How do i put what I want on there without waiting for each song to download from the cloud one at a time?

How can I store the music I listen to on my iphone without streaming it from the cloud and using all my data on my phone plans? How do I dump it on my phone all at once in itunes rather than waiting for each song to download individually from the cloud?

What?? You asked how to get all your music on your phone at once rather than downloading it to your phone from iCloud.
Go to your purchased list in iTunes and download all your music to your iTunes library, as explained in the linked article. Then sync it all to your phone using iTunes you're done. The music will be stored locally on your phone and you won't have to download it again in the future.

Trying to set up my new iphone 5s from the cloud

Im trying to set up my new iphone 5s by restoring from the cloud. When I get to the "choose backup" screen, i try to choose my latest back up, but nothing happens. the wring is in gray and nothing happens when I touch it. the bottum of the screen says "No icoud backups are compatibel with the version of iOS(7.0.4) on this iphone) Please help. I can't use my phone and I need to make some calls.

It sounds as if your new iPhone has iOS 7.0.4, but the backup was performed using iOS 7.1. if that is the case, here is how to solve this:
1. Upgrade your new iPhone to iOS 7.1. If it cannot yet get to Setitings, set is up as a new iPhone. Then do Settings > General > Software Update.
2. Prepare to restore the iCloud backup. The way to do this is to now do Settings > Gerneral > Reset > Erase all content and settings
3. Restore the iCloud Backup. You will now be directed through the "Hello", set up WiFi, enter your Apple ID, and choose a backup.
This will only work if your old backup used the same telephone number, cellular carrier, and Apple ID of the new iPhone.

Does anyone know if there is a way for the number of time a song has been played on your iPhone/iPod be transferred to the songs on your iTunes number of plays?

I mainly just use my iTunes for organizing and adding new songs. Most of the time I listen to my music on my iPhone. I wish it would keep track of how many times I play a song in my music and transfer it to the computer under the 'number of times played' column. It would help out so much! Does anyone know if there is a way for the number of time a song has been played on your iPhone/iPod be transferred to the songs on your iTunes number of plays?

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

Has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto

has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto in Mac OS.?

How many photos do you have in your iPhoto library? As your library grows, it will take more time to load when the app launches.Personally, I have not noticed any slowdown.
And my question was meant to find out whether you import process had gotten slower than...a year ago, a month ago, compared to other photo apps? Running Mountain Lion..since you upgraded? In the end..what? Hence, I asked.
Try being clearer next time. That way we don't have to beat around the bush when trying to help you.

Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

Crayolla,
Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
