How can I get my (256 kbps) music stored on iCloud downloaded to the iTunes on my computer?

I uploaded all my (128kbps) music from my computer's iTunes to iCloud - Then I made an appointment at the Genius bar - They assured me that all the music I stored on iCloud is now 256 kbps !!! -  Ergo, they all nodded, I can replace all the (old) 128 kbps music stored on my personal computer's iTunes just by downloading the 256 kbps versions from iCloud (tah-dah) - but, ah, they couldn't tell me how to do that.  Wound up with 4 "genius" staffers all grinning and scratching their heads.  Can I replace whole albums, etc. . . or do I have to replace all of my 5,000 iTune songs . . . one . . . at . . . a . . . time?

  • HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

    How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.    

    For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

  • How can I get my school district approved to be a part of the iTunes U?

    I just found out that I was denied entrance in becoming a Public Site Administrator.
    Here's what the email says:
    Thank you for submitting your recent application to become an iTunes U content provider. Based on the iTunes U requirements for inclusion, we are unable to accept your application at this time.
    iTunes U is a free service available to qualifying K-12 school districts, as well as two- and four-year accredited, degree-granting, public or private colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. All qualified institutions and content providers must enter into an iTunes U Service Agreement to be eligible to use the iTunes U service. Apple reserves the right to determine eligibility.
    Does anybody have any recommendations on who to contact to get my school on the approved list?

    You need to contact your school's adminstration and ask them to complete the iTunes U Service Agreement with Apple.  An institution must complete a formal written agreement with Apple under the terms of the service agreement.  I've never heard of an individual instructor, teacher or professor doing that, as it is an institutional agreement, so usually involves someone from administration setting that up.
    https://edu-vpp.apple.com/qforms/start/itu?dst=enroll_marcom&pdname=itunesu#main :enroll_marcom:NEW_RECORD@itunesu@null@null@true
    Note that while a free service, it is a contractual agreement between the Institution and Apple, so if you are doing this, you need to have the authority to enter into a legal contract on behalf of your institution.

    Hello lramospsych,
    To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

  • I had to restore my iPhone and lost a lot of music!!! How can I get it back?! No cloud appears next to the songs, just buy!

    I had to restore my iPhone and lost a lot of music!!! How can I get it back?! No cloud appears next to the songs, just buy!

    You should be storing everything on your computer and you should always backup your computer.  Have you failed to do these things?
    If so, not good, then you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries.  Open iTunes store, click Purchased under Quick links

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
    If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
    Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

  • How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
    Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

    how can I get a date picker or wheel to show up in the form to make filling in a form with a lot of dates more easy?

    There is no built-in date picker available for forms created in Acrobat. There are some third-party solutions involving JavaScript (either a large collection of fields or a custom dialog) though. Also, text fields with date formatting will use a wheel type date picker on Android/iOS devices with Adobe Reader.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
    As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com
