Do I have to have icloud to download and use itunes?

No, but you automatically get some of the features, whether you use them or not, once you make a purchase from the iTunes store or set up an iOS device. Those are free.

Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards. Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits? I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well. I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

Thank you. So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card. Is that correct?
It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up. Is that also correct?
You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

HT204053 i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

When l click on itunes l have got podcasts,itunes u,downloads on the bottom of the page.l can not see any musics or anything. I ve bought it from uk and used my turkish credit card. Is it because turkish credit card? Pls l need help

The content owners do not allow the iTunes Store to sell across country borders, so you must have a credit card and residence in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use. Since you live in Turkey and have a Turkish credit card, that's the only iTunes Store you can use, and as has been pointed out, Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell music, movies and shows there. That's the nature of the entertainment business at this time, where the rights in each country are held by separate entities and hence require completely separate negotiations.
Sorry, but there's nothing you can so about this. You'll need to see if there are download stores in Turkey available to you, and if not you'll need to purchase CDs, DVDs, etc.
Regards.

Hello,
I have very similar problem. Suddenly Firefox stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked.
- uninstalled firewall - did not worked
- added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - did not worked
- Firefox reinstall - did not worked
- Firefox complete reinstall (registry included) - did not worked
- IPv6 diseabling - did not worked
- diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - did not worked
- new firefox profile - did not worked
- complete coockies, history... deleted - did not worked
- there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my included.
- IE is working perfectly and without proxy
- other companies browser - did not worked too
- only IE is working
- I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
Any ideas, solutions?
System Windows 7, firewall Comodo Internet security
Thanks everyone for the help

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

How to activate icloud phone using itunes password only?

Hey, i bought a used iphone5S from a friend and he erased the contents but didnot turned off "find my iphone" and i have only the password of the icloud linked account. When i activating my iphone it asks me to type the apple id and password. Is there any option to activate the iphone without user id?

HT4859 Is backing up over iCloud not using iTunes the same as doing a full backup on iTunes?

My recent laptop has broken, I had to format it and now when I try downloading iTunes again it doesnt work at all, I have tried ridiculous amounts of times. I am going to send my phone off for repair and I need to know if backing up over iCloud via the iPhone backs up the same contents as doing a full back up on iTunes.
Thanks!

Should i just run a full back up?
Yes.

Can you transfer an iPhone back up from PC to iCloud without using iTunes?

All self explanatory.
Having major issues with iTunes, so I'm wondering if there is a way I can bypass iTunes to transfer the stored backup to the iCloud so I can restore my phone?

An iphone backup stored in itunes cannot be copied to icloud as an icloud backup. Nor can a computer copy down an icloud backup.

Why I don't have iCloud in my MacBook?

i'm using OS X Lion 10.7.2 but i don't have iCloud to use. why?

I would try to reinstall 10.7.2 first. If that does not work...
Did you try to activate it online? Go to icloud.com and see if you can sign in with your Apple ID.
You do know that most of the features of icloud are for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, etc) and if you only have a computer, some of the features are only accessible via the website.

Can I Use iTunes to Restore from iCloud Backup?

When I try to restore my phone (iPhone 4, current iOS) to a prevous iCloud backup using itunes, it won't let me choose my iCloud backup. When I try to select the iCloud option under "Backups" it won't let me select my iCloud back up (which was created minutes before) but instead, it makes only gives me the ones I created to the computer.

You have to do it directly from iPhone.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

Getting iCloud to Stop Syncing Apps I Remove Using iTunes

Let me start by stating that I have my iPad 3 set up to sync with iCloud.
I have been connecting my iPad to my Mac and having iTunes sync it, including applications. When I remove apps from the iPad using iTunes, they re-appear after the iPad syncs with iCloud. I don't want to stop iCloud syncing due to my calendars and e-mail syncing, but I don't want it to put apps back on the iPad after I have removed them using iTunes. Can anyone suggest a way to stop syncing the apps with iCloud, or should I stop syncing them with iTunes (which would save me a lot of space on my computer)? If I do stop iTunes, how do I get it to stop downloading the apps that I put on the iPad?

The iCloud synch encompasses data only. It will, in and of itself, add apps to the iOS deveice. Likewise with the back up - it is a one way transmission.
I'm not entirely clear what the full course of events is, but you might check to see if Automatic downloas is turned on for app (and turn it off): Open the Settings app > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic downloads.

My one computer's gone for repairs, all my iTunes info is on an external drive. I just bought a new machine, I want to use iTunes on it with my original external drive. How can I do this?

Hi, I have an important question which I need to ask you folks.
For the past four years, I have been using iTunes on my laptop, the only computer I have had to use iTunes. All of my movies, songs, etc are saved to an external hard drive which connects through its USB port.
That laptop is not currently working, and for the past couple of months has been upstate at a friend's house, as he is attempting to fix it.
I just got a new portable tablet capable of running iTunes today. I have not set it up yet has I have been busy at work; but I want to have the tablet have iTunes on it as well under my existing iTunes account, but I am not sure exactly how to go about it. This will be my second computer machine that iTunes will be installed under, and I want to be able to plug into it the external hard drive, The exact same hard drive I have been using on my old computer with all my iTunes information on it.
How do I do it?

If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

Streaming m3u files using iTunes and not QuickTime plug-in

Hi,
I am listening to mp3 files using a webserver and streaming m3u files. When I click on the url I get the QuickTime plug-in. I don’t like the QuickTime plug-in very much so I would like to have iTunes starting instead of QuickTime.
I have chosen to use iTunes for m3u files but it do not work. If I save the m3u file to my disc and double click iTunes is starting as I want but not when clicking on the link in Safari.
Is there any solution to get iTunes starting when clicking on a link instead of QuickTime plug-in?
The link looks like this: http://www.samplelink.info/custom.m3u?ltype=SEARCHRESULTS
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I'm generally ignorant in the way of those computer thingies, but seeing as no one else has responded, I'll venture my poorly informed opinion.
It seems to me that what you're asking for can't be done (as yet). What you would need is an "iTunes plug-in" effectively, which I don't think exists.
The only way you could set iTunes as the default for playing m3u is to leave the web/browser context (i.e. by downloading the m3u file) and then opening it with iTunes, which you already know how to do.
