Has Apple Dropped Match Support for iTune 10?
Over the weekend, my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and iTune 10 (sorry, I like iTune DJ too much to give it up) was showing all my non-local Match music as grayed out. I tried the usual trick of turning off Match, then turning it on again, but instead of fixing the problem, all the grayed-out songs disappeared completely. I also tried quitting and restarting iTunes, rebooting the Mac, holding the Shift key while turning off Match, deauthorizing and reauthorizing the Mac at the iTunes store, and signing out and signing back with my iTunes Apple ID. Throughout the whole process, the cloud icon next to Music has either been cycling or displaying a lightning bolt (can't connect to iCloud) icon.
I brought it in to work with me this morning, to see if its behavior would change on a different wifi network. Nothing has changed. Also, my Mac Pro (likewise running Mountain Lion and iTunes 10) now also displays the lightning bolt, and none of the music I've uploaded to Match appears to be in iCloud—even the music I just ripped from vinyl and uploaded last Friday. Deleting a song file from the iTunes Music folder and trying to play it on the Mac Pro prompts a message "The song "songtitle" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Clearly, as of this past weekend, Match is no longer working on either of my Macs. The files I uploaded last Friday do, however, appear as ready to play on my iPad. So it's obviously not a server problem.
Anybody know if this is a recent, unannounced development? Thanks for any info.
Thanks, Brett, but I tried all those troubleshooting options with no improvement. I discovered that my Mac Pro would upload songs to Match as expected, but not recognize their status in the cloud nor play them if a local song file was deleted from the computer. The only solution I could find was to download iTunes 12 and bid a fond farewell to iTunes DJ. It was either that or simply not renew my Match subscription when it comes due next month. No sense paying for a feature that Apple has discontinued support for in my preferred version of iTunes.

I have a Sonos system in my house and suddenly discovered that many songs I bought off of iTunes years ago are 'grayed out' when I try to play them from my iPhone or do not appear as options at all when I try to play them on Sonos from my overall music library. It's well over 100 songs I bought back before mid-2009 when Apple dropped this DRM thing. From what I think I am reading, if I want to play those songs on Sonos, the ONLY way to do so is pay Apple another $25/year for iTunes Match (which I don't have any interest in) and then re-download them all in iTunes Plus format??
Matt,
I agree it was not all communicated real well, but in your case it will work out. You missed the program where you could have upgraded 100 tracks for 30 cents each (=$30) but now you can do it via Match (=$25). It works pretty simply, per this document:
Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?
Yes. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you can download your previously purchased music again in the iTunes Plus format. To do so:
You need to delete the original DRM song from your library first. Doing this enables you to download the song again in the iTunes Plus format from iTunes in the Cloud.
Click the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store.
Click Music.
Locate the artist of the song you want to upgrade.
Click the iCloud Download icon next to the song you want to upgrade.
Just don't forget to put the Plus files on your hard drive -- properly backed up of course -- and to cancel the Match subscription before the second year rolls around! -
Please, can Apple give explanations about dropping Applescript support for Pages 13!!??? It is paramount, please do something to fix it asap!!!
You might want to check your firmware version. Go to: Settings>General>About. Look at the version field, it should be: 5.0.1(9A406). If it's 9A405 you need to update the firmware by connecting your phones to iTunes and updating it. This worked for me as I work on a ship and don't have a signal inside. I was having to do your little trick many times during the day when I would go outside to check for messages.

Why no support for iTunes in tiger?
Why no support for iTunes running on Tiger?
WE NEED THIS Apple!iTunes is completely supported on Mac OS X 10.4. I used, and supported, iTunes on 10.4 for years. If it won't start on your system, something is corrupted. Let us know what version of iTunes you are trying to run and exactly what happens, including error messages if any, and someone can probably provide suggestions. As it is, you're just asking people to guess.

I have just installed the new version of itune (11.1) and it keeps coming up with this message. "itunes requires a newer version of apple mobile device support. Please uninstall both apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall itunes." I have done this step 3 times, while following the support steps on how to fully remove all itunes and related programs. I keep getting the same issue.
Also, my computer recognizes my phone but itunes wont. When I try to do a driver update according to the support page it keeps telling me that "The folder specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows x64- based systems." On the support page it also suggests trying an alternate folder (program files(x86)/common files/ apple/ mobile device software/ drivers) That doesn't work either.
I am getting extremely frustrated.... Can someone PLEASE help!!!!
I also just upgraded my phone from and iphone4 to an iphone 5c.many thanks. That's also useful to know.
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
Does anyone have a phone number to actually call support for itunes store
does anyone have a phone number to actually call support for itunes store
You're probably right - however I only stumbled in here yesterday through Google, I'd not visited the site before and really only registered to say "me too" and look for an answer.
I've never been a huge Apple fan, but when I finally moved to an iPod from Creative and Sony players last year, I was quite impressed. So much so that I also upgraded to an iPhone this year. Never had previous experience of trouble with iTunes and believed Apple's hype about reliability - lesson learnt!
I've found no answers here or from Apple themselves so I probably won't be back - and the iPad and Macbook will come out of my wish list! -

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other bluetooth devices. I haven't moved to iOS7 yet. Any ideas?
What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either. -
ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet?
ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?
ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version. I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

HT5622 Apple Id or password for iTunes store
Apple Id or password for iTunes store
They should be the same - assuming that you used the same ID to buy the apps that you are using to update the apps - you should be able to update them. You use the same Apple ID and iTunes account for iTunes media purchases and for app store Purchases. If for some reason the password isn't working try this.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Make sure that the ID is correct on the iPad. If the ID is correct but it is not being recognized - sign out of the account, restart the iPad and then sign in again
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then go to Settings>Store>and sign into your account again and see if you can download now. -
I want to put Newsstand in my "Refference" folder!! Why has Apple started making decisions for me? Thats what Microsoft do!! Please dont start doing things like that - PLEASE HEAR MY CRY!!
You cannot put folders inside folders. Newstand is technically a folder. Don't panic.

My phone has been set up previously for itunes on my lap top but my phone now shows the connect to itunes message even though the phone is connected....Ive tried every thing I can think of ...now I cant use my phone ..please help ?
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.
