Can i watch TV shows in the cloud without downloading to my PC

I just bought a new PC and it doesn't have a lot of memory on it ...  Is there a way I can watch my Itunes Library without downloading it?   You can do this on Amazon, but I have a ton of TV shows in my library on itunes .. and I don't want to lose them.

I don't see an option to download to an external hard drive. 
No such option exists, all media downloads to the iTunes Media Folder location as defined in Edit > Preferences > Advanced.
Moving iTunes Media folder  This will move the ENTIRE iTunes media folder to the external drive.  Keep in mind that going forward the external drive must be connected prior to launching iTunes or iTunes will revert to the default location and/or give an error upon launch.

  • Can you play a movie from the cloud without downloading?

    I previsouly was able to stream movies and tv shows from the cloud without downloading.  Is this still possible with the new IOS?

    You should be able to. I don't have any IOs devises with me at the moment, but try this.
    From your IOS device go to iTunes/Purchased. Look for shows that are not downloaded and you should be able to stream them.

  • Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading.

    Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading. Each download takes over a minute and I have 2000 songs! How can I just listen to my music again without downloading each and every song??? BTW, I purchased the iPhone 5S hoping that this issue would be solved with more memory - it's not. At this point I just want to remove the whole cloud-thing from my phone and go back to only having the songs on one device, no download required except the original iTunes purchase. How do I do this???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds as though you misunderstood the purpose of iTunes Match. You still need to have the content on the device to play it.
    However it's effectively no different than before in that you keep your most played content on your phone but are able to download stuff you rarely play should you ever wish to.
    There's no value whatsoever in iTunes Match unless your library doesn't fit on your phone.

  • Can I save my movies to the cloud and download them when I want?

    I thought that we could save our movie purchases in the cloud and then download them to my iphone when I wanted to watch them?

  • Can I load songs onto my ipod nano (7G) from the cloud without downloading it to my PC?

    I just bought a 7G nano.  All of my songs are in the cloud.  My computer has little space for my large collection of music, podcasts, and videos.  I just bought a couple of albums and they went directly to my ipod when I synced.  The rest of my library, however, was left in the cloud and didn't make it to my ipod.  The only way I can tell to transfer my music from the cloud to my ipod is to download it from the cloud to my PC.  Is there a way to bypass my PC and go directly to my ipod? 

    You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

    You can buy and store in the cloud, but to watch on your iPad you must download.

  • How do I listen to a song from the cloud without downloading it to phone?

    When I hit play it downloads to my Iphone. I don't want to store locally only on cloud?

    iCloud doesn't work that way. The "streaming" isn't streaming; the media is downloaded to your device and you can begin listening before the download is complete. You can always delete the songs from your device after you've finished listening; doing so will delete them from your local device only, not from iCloud or iTunes Match.

  • Can i listen to the music on my cloud without downloading the music files to my computer?

    Can I listen to music via the cloud without downloading the actual files to the device?
    Basically I want to listen to my music at work without putting the files on my work p.c.
    thanks

    This is not possible. Your purchased music must be downloaded to your computer to listen to the full song.

  • I opened iTunes and the cloud is not syncing up, so i cannot watch movies or tv shows over the cloud, however it was there a few days ago, now randomly gone.

    Are you sure you bought and not rented them?  Renting lets you to access the video for up to 48 hours.

  • Can I watch purchased shows without downloading

    I'd like to watch tv shows I've already purchased without downloading them to my laptop.  The only options I can find other than downloading deal with Apple TV and Airplay.  Seems like  there should be someway to watch them directly from the cloud.  If it makes any difference, if working with a PC running Win 7.

  • Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in the cloud for download to my computer.

    I purchased songs on my iPhone yesterday, and last night on my Notebook computer I was able to download the songs from the cloud with no problems.  But today, on my Desktop computer, the songs do not even show that they are available in the cloud.  All 3 devices (iPhone, Notebook, and desktop) are authorized to the same account in the cloud and have the latest updates for itunes.  Under my account information, the songs show in my purchase history, they just are not in the cloud.
    Other songs I purchase last night on the notebook computer showed in the cloud and I was able to download them to both the iPhone and the Desktop.  But the songs purchased on the iPhone were not available to the Desktop.
    Is there a limit to the number of devices a song can be downloaded to if purchased on the iPhone?  or is there a problem with these songs that Apple needs to fix for me? 

    Sounds like you're using iTunes Match. Is there a cloud icon next to the name of the song?  If yes you need not worry, those songs aren't actually on your device it just means you can download them to it.

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
