Cloud icon doesn't appear; space still being used on ipad (or is it on my computer? I'm confused!)

What is the main selling poiint of iTunes Match? I subscribed because I'm loading my cds onto my new ipod, and I have more cds than it will hold. But the gb space didn't go to zero. Do we have to manually delete every song?

KeithJenner is correct - if you have music on your iPad and you sign up for iTunes Match, the locally stored music is not automatically removed.  You have to do that yourself as he described.  After you have removed the music from your ipad, if those songs were also on the computer you used to sign up for iTunes match, you will still see them in the music list on your iPad.  If you click to play a song it will download a copy.  There are other ways to download music too, such as from a button at the bottom of an album track list or from a playlist.
The headline of your post said "cloud icon doesn't appear."  If you tell us where you are looking for a cloud icon and what you want to do with that cloud icon., we might be able to help you.  cloud icons of one sort or another are used in many places in iTunes Match.
You also asked what the main selling point is for iTunes Match.  While every person has their reason for using the service, in general it is looked at as a way to have access to all of your music on all of your devices, without having to keep all of your music locally stored on them all.  It lets people with different music on more than one computer add it all to a central location too.  You can read more about it at the link below.  There is a link to a video at the top of the page that you might find helpful

  • Audio Space Still Being Used even though Match is turned on

    My iphone is showing 20.9 GB of audio data even though iTunes Match is turned on.  There is no way to adjust what music is on my phone in the music tab in iTunes.  My understanding is that my music will now be stored in the cloud and not on my phone.  That should free up a lot of space for videos and pics.  Am I missing something?  Why is my music still in my phone?

    Ok I tried turning off Match on my iPhone the syncing with iTunes and I unclicked all my music and after syncing and rebooting my phone I went from 20GB to 12GB of audio files.  I still have music in my phone that's not selected in iTunes and on top of that I still have access to some music in iCloud. 
    I for one am sick and tired of Apple releasing bug filled software and hardware.  Next thing that comes out I'm passing on for at least a month. 
    Now trying turning off syncing music entirely and see if that takes it off my phone.  I feel like this whole iCloud business is about 20 steps backwards.  I had everything working perfectly between 3 macs a PC 2 iPhones and 2 Apple TV's and now nothing works right.  I'm sorry but iCloud *****!!!

  • HT204053 The cloud icon does not appear in my macs system preferences.

    The cloud icon does not appear in my MacBookPro system preferences.  Any help?

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • I tried downlaoding itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. The itunes setup can be found just not the actual program.

    I tried downloading itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. When I search for the itunes under my programs, this is what shows: iTunes64Setup.

    It did prompt me to run it. I apologize. I said save.
    This is what happens, I run the iTunes64Setup, it downlods, says it has completed and then I click finish on the iTunes installer. After that, nothing comes up. Usually the program will start after it installs. There isn't an icon on my desktop either. When I go and search for iTunes under programs, only the iTunes64Setup appears. I am also having trouble downloading Adope Photoshop as well.

  • Comment note icon doesn't appear on underlined texts

    Hi, I have been using Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro for some years now. Whenever I try to add a text note to underlined text there used to be a small icon appear on the top of underlined text indicating that underlined text has a comment attached to it.
    Now ever since I have installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8, the small comment note icon on underlined text doesn't appear anymore and this means that all the documents that I have created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 won't show that in XI edition of Acrobat.
    Instead, Acrobat XI Pro shows the comment note icon on highlighted text but not on the underlined line. So, How can I know if the underlined text has a comment if the icon doesn't appear over it? What can I do to solve this issue to continue using the product with the older document on which I have worked in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    It doesn't help with comment icon so I'll try to be more clear as possible on issue:
    As you can see, the yellow comment icon appears on the top of the highlighted line on the left but on the right where I underlined the text and added a comment, it doesn't show any icon indication so there's no way I can know if it has a comment on it unless I hover mouse cursor over it.

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • Is code still being used

    We have a large database, with many stored procedures, packages, functions and views that have built up over such a long time that we no longer know which code is still being used.
    Is there any way of finding out if a procedure/package/view/function has recently been executed.
    The only way I could think of was to take away the privileges and see who shouts... but that's probably not the best idea.

    Find objects, that don't have other objects dependant on themDepending on how the database is used, this may or may not prove anything. Procedures that are called from SQL*Plus sessions or DBMS_JOBS wouldn't show up. Searching the text of your front-end application may be a chore as well.
    A similar caveat apllies to trawling the cache. You'd want to make sure you didn't drop procedures that are run once a month or once a quarter or once a year.
    In the absence of adequate documentation the only sound approach is to keep everything. Punishing your users - by removing their rights - for the incompetence of the support team is so wrong.
    Why do you want to get id of somne procedures? They are not like tables, they don't take up much space. Procedures that are not run don't have reported bugs, so they don't generate much additional work. The only issue I can see is when you have to do global work e.g. upgrading the database or applying some generic fix. That is additional work, I agree, but that's the price you have to pay for not having properly documented applications.
    We all do this (or rather don't do this) and we all end up having to do work we suspect is unnecessary but can't prove that's the case. Do we learn? Heck, no.
    Good luck, APC

  • Error: The logical component X is still being used

    Hi,
    In Transaction SMSY, i want to delete a Logical Component. So, pre-condition is to check whether it is mapped to any Projects/Solutions. By right-clicking - Where used list , i have seen that it is mapped to a Project. So, in transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN under tab System Landscape, i tried to delete the Logical Component but receiving the error message - The logical component X is still being used.
    Please help.
    Many Thanks,
    Mohan.

    Hello Mohan,
    You can also solve this by using the "Replace Logical Component" button in the system landscape within SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN.
    Thus you can replace all the occurances of the Z_ logical component by e.g. an existing standard SAP logical component.
    Afterwards you will be able to delete your Z_ logical component in SMSY (or in LMDB from 7.1 SP9 on).
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Theft of phone and skype account still being used!...

    Hi.
    My wifes phone was stolen on th 19th of April during a camping trip.
    We reported the theft to the police.
    I have gone onto skype today, and the account is still being used.
    My wife said the only two places skype is installed is on her stolen phone and on her laptop, which isn't on at the moment as she is at work!!
    So whoever stole the phone is using the skype account right now!!!
    I need to find out the IP addresses that have been logged against the user [Redacted for privacy] since the 19th of April.
    I have tried to email support, but the contact form keeps giving an error, so please someone respond as soon as possible so I can relay info to the police please!!
    Kind regards,
    Glenn.

    Hi, Glenn, and welcome to the Community,
    These two commands, when entered into a chat window, may prove helpful:
    /remotelogout
    Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
    /showplaces
    Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
    Important: Always make sure you are using the latest version of Skype. Some of these commands may not be supported in older versions.
    Here is a link to the original FAQ article:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles?
    If your wife still has access to her account, she should consider signing on to her account details and removing any saved payment methods on file. 
    Skype does not release IP addresses except upon request from law enforcement agencies, who can file to receive this information via official channels.
    Regards,
    Elaine
