Can music be stored in the icloud?

I have over 500 songs in my Iphone but I cant find them in itunes, how do I transfer them?

Music purchased from the iTunes store is available to re-download from iCloud (in many countries), as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  Music from other sources, such as your ripped CDs, is only available in iCloud if your purchase iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).
If you are trying to copy songs from your iPhone to your iTunes library, you can transfer music purchased from iTunes by connecting your phone, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  However other music can only be copied from your phone to iTunes by using 3rd party software to extract them, such as Touch Copy.

  • ITunes can't locate music I have stored in the iCloud

    I am experiencing the following problem. In iTunes some of my "songs" have an exclamation point beside them even though they are stored in the cloud. I see the dialog box that asks if I want to locate the music and I have found if I hit the cancel button, the music suddenly has a cloud icon and starts to play. This is weird, and I'd love to know how to fix this.
    Thanks

    Yes, you are correct. The songs are only stored in the iCloud. Which is what I want. I don't want to have all my library sitting on my iMac and in iCloud. Am I missing something?
    There are plenty of songs on my hard drive with the iCloud symbol and they play without a problem. I also have some songs sitting on my hard drive. And they aren't a problem. THE PROBLEM is the tracks that have the exclamation mark and will play from the iCloud after I press "Cancel" in the "Locate" dialog box. I hope I'm explaining this clearly....

  • I have a number of audiobooks in my itunes library.  Can they be stored in the cloud via itunes match or only music?

    I have a number of audiobooks in my Itunes library.  Can they be stored in the Cloud via Itunes match?  All of the info refers only to "music".

  • Some music files do not show up in google play music app library.  I did clear cache/data and restarted phone.  The music is stored on the SD card.  Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card.  I can play the song from file mana

    Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?

  • HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

    How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

    Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

  • I had backed up my IPhone 4s on iCloud on Jan 19. I am now trying to do another back up but it says the time required is 7 hours. It appears to long a time for 1GB of data stored on the iCloud. Can someone help me please?

    To be honest, that sounds about right.
    For example on my 8Mbps (megbits) down service I get around 0.4Mbps upload.  That is the equivalent of (very approximately) 3Mb (megabytes) per minute or 180Mb per hour.  Over 7 hours that would be just over 1Gb.
    Obviously, it all depends on your connection speed, but that is certainly what I would expect, and that is why I use my computer for backing up, not iCloud.  So much quicker.

    What exactly are you trying to do?  Restore from an icloud backup?  If so what error message are you getting?
    Giving more details about your issue would go a long way.

  • How to prevent ipad apps from being stored in the iCloud and how to bring them back to the iPad

    I have an iPad Mini Retina with 128GB of storage.  I purchased about a dozen apps and it gets stored in the iCloud and I don't know how to access them on the cloud storage.  Plus I have many apps from me itouch that I use and they are also stored on the iCloud. 
    How can I prevent further apps that I buy from gettting transfer to the iCloud?
    How can I download my existing apps that I purchase and that are from my itouch that are stored in the iCloud into my iPad?
    How do I access my iCloud storage from my iPad?
    Thanks.

    You make it sound like apps are disappearing from your iPad and uploading to iCloud. That's not how it works. Maybe somebody (or you) deleted the apps and you don't realize it.
    You cannot prevent apps from being stored in iCloud. That is one of the reasons for using iCloud. It will store all of your purchased apps and you will be able to download them if you delete them, or if you buy another device that you want to use the apps on.
    If you have apps that are in iCloud, just go to the Purchased Tab in the app store, tap on the Not on this iPad button at the top. Look for any of the apps that you want to download and then tap the cloud icon in order to download them to the iPad. You access your iCloud storage in the purchased tabs of the different stores or in the apps themselves. Any data that is being backed up in iCloud is on the device in the corresponding apps and you don't need to access that data in iCloud. It's at your fingertips already,
    Purchased apps do NOT count against your iCloud storage. If you have 60GB of apps, they do not take up the alloted 5GB of free storage that you get. The app data would count against the storage but not the apps themselves.

  • I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home.  All my music is stored on the cloud.  So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different.  The CDs are missing from this list.

    I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home.  All my music is stored on the cloud.  So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different.  The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I think you ave sorted my problem with your question.  I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud".  I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
    So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs.  This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
    So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
    I am totally confused now.

  • I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

    I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

    The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device.  This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on.  Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
    To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore.  Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another.  Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • TS3988 how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies?

    how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies? (my brother)

    Apple's Terms of Use for iCloud say:
    No Right of Survivorship
    You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted. Contact iCloud Support at www.apple.com/support/icloud for further assistance.
    Basically you have no rights in his account: if you know his password you can enter the account and retrieve personal data to use elsewhere. If he had purchased music, films or apps in iTunes you cannot transfer these to your own account.
    If you don't know the password it seems doubtful that Apple will allow you access to it. However as far as all these questions are concerned the authoritative answers must come from Apple so you will need to contact them as indicated above.

    Hi there tamarafromdarien,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
    If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
    If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
    “This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
    In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
    Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
    Click the Account Information tab.
    Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
    Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
    If you're attaching a large file
    Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

  • The harddrive holding my itunes library is damaged and I would like to purchase the icloud.  Can I restore files to the icloud without the disk/libraries?

    the harddrive holding my itunes library is damaged and I would like to purchase the icloud.  Can I restore files to the icloud without the disk/libraries?  Thanks!

    iCloud does not provide a service like Dropbox where you can save random files to it as a way of having external storage.  As for the HD damage, don't you have a backup of the itunes library elsewhere?  If so, copy it to the replacement hard drive, along with any other important files that were on the damaged HD.
