How do i back up iTunes to iCloud. Cannot find any ref to iCloud in itunes9-08

i have been using idisk for two years. i back up all my files on it. today there is no idisk icon on my home screen. it does not appear in finder. it does not apppear in spotlight. when i search for files that i know are on idisk, nothing appears. this is very serious as I publish a weekly newsletter and all that i need is on idisk. where has it gone?

Joining iCloud has signed you out of MobileMe. Go to System Preferences>MobileMe and sign in again: then you can access your iDisk at Finder menu Go>iDisk>My iDisk.

TS1468 How do I apply this to the new iTunes? I cannot find any functions that allows me to view my songs in list form.

Dear, Apple Technical Support
I have just purchased a 2nd generation iPod and I am a returning user to iTunes. unfortunately, I have not used iTunes since the year 2008. I have noticed a lot of things have changed and I am unable to properly organize my music. I have noticed that I cannot change the display of my songs and albums from icons into a list. I would like to form a list so that I may change the name of the composing artist so I can compile multiple songs into one album. Unfortunately, many of the DJ and Trance albums that I already have on my computer have various contributing artists and are then catigorized by the names of their contribiting artist. What I want to do is take all of these songs from one CD that have alreayd been divided and recombine them to form one singlar album on my itunes. I find it frustrating in having to search through 3000 songs just so I can upload my most favorite ones onto my iPod when I could just drag and drop the entire album into the iPod folder. I have also tried high lighting all of the songs that I want to combine into one album and then right click to get more information and change the name of the contributing artist so that they will automatically compile into one folder but it did not work. I also tried to drag and drop one song onto another, just the same as I would in Microsoft Media Player if I wanted to combine albums or add songs to an album, but that also did nothing except cause my computer to make a sound. I would like to know how I can optimize my itunes and make the most of what I have. Unfortunately, it seems like you company is not formiliar with the term "If it is not broken, then do not fix it". Putting asside that comment, is there anything that I can do to combine albums that I have not already tried and could you please give me any suggestions that will work so I will continue this product instead of giving up and just go back to using microsoft. Thank you very much.

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of earlier versions with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
Edit > Preferences > General > Show list views for all media does what it says
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
Within Music the Songs view should be the list you are familiar with.
As to getting things organized see Grouping tracks into albums.

TS1363 I have an ipod shuffle, 7yrs old. Says I have an error and to re-install. Then it tells me, this file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I cannot find any newer version and don't recall downloading it anyway.

Told to re-install itunes. When I do, it tells me "This file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." Therefore I can't re-install! Can't seem to find a way to get itunes back. This is a 8 yr old ipod shuffle...

The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
As long as your computer supports it, the latest iTunes will work with all shuffle models, back the first one.
Just one thing. The latest iTunes hides the sidebar, which can be confusing for long-time users. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under Views, select Show Sidebar.

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

TS1717 How do I save my iTunes library from my windows pc to my iCloud account?

How do I save my iTunes library from my windows pc to my iCloud account?

You can't. iCloud does not apply to music. You will need to subscribe to iTunes Match to get music into the cloud but note that this is not a back up service.

How do I back up itunes to dvd

How do i back up itunes to dvd.I have the latest update,but under file- library,there is no backup to disc now

The backup to disk option was removed as of iTunes 10.4. If you want to back up your tracks to a CD, you can as a workaround put the tracks in a playlist and then use the Burn Playlist to Disk command and select a data disk as the format. If you want to back up your tracks to a DVD now, you'll need to use other software. Unless your library is pretty small, though, it's probably a lot more effective to just copy the entire iTunes folder to an external hard drive or USB flash drive.

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I paid for apps, i demand my updates

I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I dont care if i owe apple's itunes appstore a few dollars over 2 in app purchases i never meant to download in fact the whole app itself i wanted to delete...but out of the hundreds (maybe lower thousands) fof dollars in music and apps and whatever else, that i rightfully purchased over the passed couple of years....should *NOT* have the upgrades and/or previous purchased songs withheld from me over $3 in accidently purchased add ons through an existing app i deleted an disliked anyway

Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"

I just downloaded my first ringtone from itunes, but i cannot find it on my pc. how do i locate it?

I just downloaded my first ringtone from itunes, but i cannot find it on my pc. how do i locate it?

Did you check your Library in iTunes?
Under the view menu is View options, make sure "Kind" and "Purchase Date" are enabled, then sort the items in your Library by clicking where it says "Kind" and "Purchase Date"
The ringtone should come right up to the top as it was the last item purchased.
It's also could be in your "purchased" folder on the left pane under iTunes Store
I hope this helps

HT203167 i cannot find any trace in my itunes account of numerous audiobooks that i have bought in the last year. how can i recover these. they are in my purchase history but not in my collection.

i cannot find any trace in my collection of audiobooks that i have purchased over numerous months. they appear in my purchase history but are nowhere to be found in my itunes . how should i recover these ?

If you can't find the files in the iTunes folder on your hard drive, then you'll need to restore them from your backups. Audiobooks have not at this time been licensed for re-downloading from the iTunes Store.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

What you should see on a restart is a black screen followed by a screen with the Apple (at which point you let go of the two buttons). There is no progress bar, just the Apple. The Apple will stay there for 15 seconds or so, then the "Slide to Unlock" screen will redisplay.
But, I don't think the reset will fix it for you. I just tested it, and it comes back on with the zoom still on. The only way to get it to zoom out is the tapping with the 3 fingers.
I said to double-tap....MY BAD! You need to triple-tap with three fingers!
Try that and see if it will display the zoom menu for you, or if it will zoom back out.
Cheers,
