Are my 320Kbps songs deleted or replaced with 256Kbps versions?

I've got a meticulously groomed iTunes Library with over 18,000 songs, perfect tags and accurate album artwork. Most, if not all of my library consists of 320Kbps bitrate songs. In fact, the lowest bitrate that can be found in my library is 256Kbps on a few things. Question is, will activating iTunes Match throw my iTunes Library into chaos in some way? Also, will it count against the 200gb's of additional storage I subscribe to...? I suspect not, but have to ask...
Thanks!

Hi,
iTunes match scans your iTunes library to determine what tracks are matched and what needs to be uploaded. It does not touch the files that are in your library and on your computer unless you opt to delete and download matched version which will be 256Kbps. If the track is uploaded it will be uploaded as is except if the tracks is AIFF, ALAC or WAV when it will be transcribed to 256 Kbps.
Matched tracks that you stream will be at 256 kbps but uploaded tracks will be the same as your original.
iTunes match does not use your cloud storage. The only limit is 25K for non iTunes purchased tracks.

HT1719 I have music on my Shuffle and want to transfer it onto iTunes but when I go to Sync it, it warns me that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what's on my iTunes. I have a new mac-mini and my old computer was an HP.

Can anyone tell me how to tranfer the music that is on my Shuffle to iTunes? When I go to Sync it, it gives me a warning that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what is on my iTunes. I recently changed computers from an HP to a Mac-Mini and did not transfer/sync the itunes prior to getting rid of my itunes. So the music I had on itunes does not appear in my library. Help please!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your new Mac and into iTunes.

Notes on iPhone5 got replaced with old versions after Sync

I will seriously pay the first person to solve this $20 if their advice helps me recover my current version of my notes.
I sync'd my iphone5 to itunes in order to have a recent back up but when it was done a bunch of my notes from my phone got replaced with older versions somehow that must have been on my pc. For example, I have a note titled "Car Stuff" where I would keep track of parts replaced, oil changes, mileage etc.
When the sync was finished, this note, as well as some others were replaced on my iphone by a version last sync'd in September of 2012. This one was not a huge deal to lose although it was mildly important. Some of the others were much more significant.
I have sync'd before and this situation has never occured. Why on earth would the notes on my phone not just copy the new versions to my pc? Instead, it did the exact opposite! Now I am missing over a year worth of edits to some very important notes I go into on a daily basis. On a side note, I also got several duplicates of some notes but both with the same dates. All my new notes synced fine but anything that existed for more than a year on my phone got replaced with the older version of itself that was stored on my pc.
A little background and current state of where I am at:
1) No, unfortunately I never used the icloud. I never needed it until now.
2) I had the box checked to sync my notes to outlook as I always did previously
3) I have searched my pc for the name of the notes and I find them in Outlook but only the old outdated versions that are now on my phone.
4) I went to Genius Bar and they were clueless as to why it happened or how I could get my current version of those notes back
5) The only old sync's found on my pc are from the last sync I did and the sync from my iphone4 back in Sept of 2012 right before I got the iphone5
6) I have a college email that uses gmail on my phone (which I heard might backup notes) but when I logged into the email on my pc I don't see anything in the section when I click on notes.
If I left out any details, or you need further clarification please feel free to mention it and I will clarify. At this point, I feel like all hope is lost so this is probably my last hope before giving up. The edits I made to these notes over the last year are extremely important to me so this is why I am trying desperately to recover them.
Thanks for any help offered and I am serious about sending whoever finds my solution $20. It's that important to me.

it appears the actual image is probably in place, but the *preview* is incorrect. clicking on the image to zoom in causes (the normal) "Loading...", followed by a zoomed in view of the *correct* image. zooming back out gives the normal view of the correct image. (*very* good to know!)

Pics on my phone are gone...has been replaced with a blank black screen??

Hello everyone,
So today I was browsing through my pics and noticed there were some pics that have been replaced with a black screen. I deleted like 4 of them, thinking I that they just "appeared" but I scrolled up and noticed that it was also a few videos and pics that I know I had that had been replaced as well. So has anyone had this happen to them? What did you? How do I get my pics back? And is this some sort of virus?

Ok I discovered the same thing today. Two of my pics were black. I just deleted them thinking I must of taken bad pics. I now know I didnt. Here's the funny thing, I came on here looking for a problem that is related to messaging, photos and video text messaging. All kinds of problems are showing up. I go to send a video in text messaging and it freezes up right before it sends..
Does anyone know what's happening?

TS1815 Why does the artwork go black? - i.e. just a black square that CANNOT be deleted or replaced with the correct artwork.

I am really fed up with LOSING my artwork - I have over 66,000 tracks ALL of which had artwork when I added them to my iTunes - I now regularly find missing artwork, or a black or white square which it is impossible to delete or replace. I have only seen this since Apple went over to the 'new' versionof iTunes. Apple do not listen to anyone - why is this?

Hi HumeDoom
I have tried all this stuff - I replace the artwork (tried both deleting/not deleting tte iblack/white artwork) initially all looks OK - then when I go back into the track - it is still black/white. NOTHING gets rid of the black/white square. The only way I would be able to do it is to delete the albums and start again. I don't feel I have enough tine to re-install 66,000 (plus) tracks - as I don't know which of the tracks have become corrupted until I play them. I wonder if there is some limit within the program that cannot cope with the amount of artwork I have and starts to corrupt itself?
I feel that Apple don't seem to want to address iTunes problems - it has only happened since they upgrded to the 'new' version.
As an Apple user for a long time I have bcome very disillusioned with them in the last couple of years.
I updated my Mac Pro 8-core with Mavericks - luckily I had backed up my 6.5TB of drives - so was able to go back when I found that I couldn't use a lot of my softeware.

New version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of potential disasters.
To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

Songs/albums being replaced with new content

Hi,
I got a 120gb iPod Classic for Christmas and am just getting used to using it. The problem I have at the moment is that when I sync new songs/albums to the ipod, they are replacing what was already on it!! For instance, I had 2 albums by the one artist already on the ipod, and when I synced a 3rd album it simply replaced the 2 earlier albums! I have looked up the problem in the support manual but can't seem to get any info on it.
Any help would be great.

Well, the first question to ask is are you deleting the music from your iTunes library after syncing it to the iPod? You cannot do this and "sync" the iPod with new music without deleting the old.
If you want to delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.

Can I get apps back on boyfriends phone after iTunes deleted and replaced with mine after syncing and upgrading to iOS 5?

Hi,
PLEASE HELP!! Last night my boyfriend asked me to sync his phone as he had purchased a new app and it was required to connect to iTunes to finish installing, so we did this, it took forever!! It also prompted us to upgrade to iOS5, which we did, the sync finished and he unplugged his phone and all of the contacts and apps from my iPhone have moved onto his phone and his apps have disappeared? Is there anyway at all to rectify this at all? I know that w had to restore the phone after upgrading to iOS5 but I am sure that I hit restore from partners phone and not from mine.

iPhones can only be sync'd to ONE computer.
And as it was not running iOS5, it had to have been sync to a computer before he could use it.
So unless it was always backup up to your computer, it is all gone.
You can redownload apps you bought.
Sign into his account on the iphone, and go to appstore.
Go to Updates page,
you can click on purchased and see what you already bought, and can redownload.
In future you should only sync your iphone to one computer.
In iOS5 you can backup online to icloud.
But sadly the data that was on his phone may be gone now that you updated on your computer.
Out of interest, I have never had an app that needs to sync to a computer before it downloads or runs.
What app was it?

What are new features on updating 5g ipod with software version 1.2

i hav noticed that on updating ipod video 5g with ipod update 1.2,i noticed only one change i.e brightness control.
search function is not there,and
somebody please tell what is gapless playback, i dont know how it works??!!
i,m unable to tranfer manually songs to ipod,(by drog n drop).i hav to copy to itunes lib then on to music folder of ipod
does the 5g video ipod really supports 640x480 video on
update

With 1.2 5th generation iPods get:
- Gapless Playback
- Game Support
- Movie Support
- Brightness Control
- 640x480 Resolution
- Quick Scroll (the letters you are scrolling through appear when scrolling fast)
Gapless playback allows songs to flow seamlessly together without a gap - Pink Floyd The Wall, The Beatles' Abbey Road, etc. To me, it's the most significant iPod feature since the click wheel.
For manual sync, be sure that option is selected in the iPod preferences.

Are you using GB 10 for projects with this version ?

usually the ones who dont write in are happy with what they have
are some of you happy with GB as it is or are you patiently waiting for a workable upgrade version?
i realize one thing: if you dont have the latest Mac computer with optimal RAM OS etc apps dont work optimally
this goes for FLICKR etc
I am writing to those who dont constantly complain if some little bug appears.
is this what you call a working GB ?
my previous songs all load nicely into GB 10
i just notice foreign parts im not used to and doing things with my old songs takes a learning curve and this means ill use GB 11 for now
2 things on my mind now
1. without a manual/ third party explanation i dont have time to test experiment and start a new learning curve
with GB 10. It looks beautiful and probably one day will be so. Fooling around with it will at this time only lead to more frustration.
2. is there a manual for GB 10 and if so where is it located please?

I am using the online help: GarageBand 10.0 Help Online
And HangTime posted a link to a short video tutorial at Bullets & Bones, but I cannot find it right now.
1. without a manual/ third party explanation i dont have time to test experiment and start a new learning curve
For the time being I create the projects first in GB 6.0.5, to have more patches for vocal tracks and my guitar, and then I finish it in GB 10.0 to add Arpeggiators and Smart drummers.
It is simply easier to find anything in GB 10.0, if I know what is supposed to be there, because I created it in GB 6.0.5.

That version cannot be upgraded further if it's a 2G model. The 3G model can be upgraded to iOS 5.x.x. You can't have a 2G model because the maximum iOS version is 4.2.1.

Sometimes I find songs I didn't download on my ipod, or songs that I did download are replaced with different music

OK, so I've noticed sometimes when I sync my iPod with iTunes, that sometimes I'll have my iPod on shuffle and I'll end up with either:
A) Songs that I KNOW I didn't download, for example today there was a song titled "Marvins Room" a la the song by Drake, but what was playing wasn't even remotely close to Marvin's Room, and it had some cheap looking album art on it, that I KNOW I did not download.
OR
B) Songs that I DID purchase and/or download and I KNOW were the correct songs when I purchased them, have been replaced with some music I've never heard of before, for example I had "New Moon" by Brandy and one day it played something else entirely, but still had all the original song info. This has happened on more than one occasion and with different songs, and I've had to go delete the song and re-purchase and/or DL it.
Also, sometimes some of the music on iTunes isn't correct. Like recently, the availabe version of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" is less than 2 minutes long, so you don't even get the whole song although you pay for a whole song. Or, some music is completely incorrect (see B above).
Anybody else run into these issues, and/or have any clue why this happens and how best to prevent it? Please and thanks in advance.
