Content in library available in iCloud?
If I have music in my iTunes library that was not purchased from the iTunes store, is there any way I can add it to iCloud so that it is available to all my other devices?
Yes. Sign up for iTunes Match.

I have installed icould on my new computer and have downloaded all my purchases from itunes. However, on each album in my library, there is an icon showing that the album is available in icloud for download. I have downloaded a couple of albums from icloud and it seems that I need to do this operation for each album one at a time. I am looking for a way I can download all the albums available in icloud all at once. Is there a way to do this?
Found it on another site, cos I had this question too. Create a playlist with all your songs... (select all in songs, then create new playlist from selection). After that I double-clicked the playlist and it started downloading all the songs. Hallelujah.

Number of "songs available in iCloud" problem
Everytime I update iTunes Match the number of "songs available in iCloud" is 1 extra to the amount of songs in iTunes on my Mac.
For instance I currently have 12089 in iTunes, but updating iTunes Match always says I have 12090 songs available in iCloud.
The weird thing is, if I turn on Match on my iPhone or PC they show the correct number of 12089 songs.
Has anyone experienced this? What can I do to fix it?So the results are:
Desktop Smart Playlist: 3946 Desktop iTunes Match: 3953
Laptop Smart Playlist: 3946 Laptop iTunes Match: 3953
Beatunes on Laptop: 3946
Conclusion: iTunes Match requires some time (12 hours overnight in this instance) to give a stable result on library content. Beatunes had been running on the laptop in concert with iTunes (iTunes Match enabled).
Assertion: iTunes Match has to be hosted in a distributed form to allow for the massive parallel processing to support the user community. The replication of consistent information across the respective servers / datacentres needs time. It is quite possible that the desktop and laptop had affiliated to separate Apple computing resource.
Outcome: Worth not being alarmed by apparent minor variation in iTunes Match results on Song count. For my library 3946 is an accurate count of the number of Songs, 3953 accounts for other items and a few potential songs with iCloud Status other than Matched, Purchased or Uploaded. -
Music downloads to iPod Nano from songs that are only available in iCloud.
I'm trying to add music to my sons iPod Nano that myself and my older son have on our iPhone and iPod touch. When I try to copy these songs over to the Nano it tells me it cannot be copied because it is only available in iCloud. It then states I need to download the items from iCloud before they can be copied to the iPod. How to I download songs from iCloud that are currently showing in my music library?

Albums in Library not on iCloud
I just signed up for Match. I have 55 albums in my iTunes Library, but only 25 show up as available on my devices. What can I do to make the other 30 albums available on iCloud?
Has iTunes Match finished it's initial scan, match and uploade? If not, then all your albums won't be available on your iDevices yet.
Look in the left hand column of iTunes and see if you have an entry called "iTunes Match" in the Store area. If you do does it have a spinning circle next to it? This means iTM isn't done with the initial scan yet and it is probably uploading tracks.
So turn off iTM on your iDevices and let iTunes finish doing what it is doing. Once it is finished turn on iTM again on your devices. -
How to make iPhotos library available to other users
how to make iPhotos library available to other users
To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions. -
my sister downloaded an album she bought on itunes on her ipad and it somehow synced to my iphone when I try to delete it it still shows up in my music library with the icloud symbol how do I delete the album???
As long as you both share an iTunes account you cannot delete the album. It is in your account and will show as available to download. The cloud symbol simply is showing that the album is in your iTunes account and is available for you to download. The album itself isn't on your phone though.

How do you access your itunes library from the icloud on your ipad
How do you access your itunes library from the icloud on your ipad?
You have asked two different questions?
Your account is just a user name and password. You can access that to buy content from any computer with itunes, just sign it.
Your library wil only be where your put it. Yo can copy it from one computer to another, or from your backup copy of your computer ot another computer. In some countries you can download some past itunes purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
My phone keeps saying "storage almost full" I have 6GB available of phone storage and 4.5GB available of iCloud. Can anyone help me? I obviously have space but I don't know whats going on...
The taking of photos requires storage capacity on the phone itself. iCloud storage has nothing to do with picture taking, that is backup storage area. You will have to remove content from the phone to increase storage on the phone to be able to take photos.

Garage Band isn't reading my entire iTunes Library, am I missing something in the settings? how do I make entire library available?
In general, whatever you see in your iTunes app (playlists, songs, etc) should also be displayed in GarageBand when you select the Audio tab in the Media Browser.
One hidden feature is that you can have multiple iTunes Libraries (as you can have multiple iPhoto Libraries).
When you click on the iTunes icon in the Dock and immediately after the click hold down the option key, the following window will pop up.
It lets you create a new empty Library or choose to open a different existing Library (that you have created before). Whatever Library you chose the last time you opened iTunes will be the "current" iTunes Library and that is the one that is displayed in GarageBand. (it is a system wide preference). You even can have GarageBand open while switching to a different iTunes Libraries and GarageBand will update the displayed Media Browser content.
Here are two screenshots of my GarageBand app displaying two different iTunes Libraries
So in case you used that feature, you might see a different iTunes content than you expected.
(BTW, this "multiple Libraries" feature comes in also very handy with iPhoto, where you can have separate Libraries for you family, your band, your business, or whatever you want to separate photos. Also good for individual backups)
Hope that helps

I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

How do i make my itunes library available to all users on one computer ?
i've got a family. a few kids and one itunes library. i am the only one who can buy stuff (as i assume its impossible to keep on library in synch with multiple owners ??) - but what i want to do is have the library available to all the kids - that way they can sign in as themselves and not keep signing in as me everytime they want to synch their ipods etc. is there a way to do this ? thanks so much.
Move the Library to Users/Shared.
Point each user to the new location:
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > General > iTunes Music folder location > Change. -
Make library available to multiple users on the same computer
I want to have the library available to more than one user on the same computer. The "share my music" option doesn't seem to help. I also tried running iTunes as the second user and setting the library file to the one I had created as the first user, but nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?
Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up. -
Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?
Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?
