How do I get music, apps, movies etc that are in my iTunes - on a PC -  into iCloud?( the stuff I want to move is not on my iPhone which I would like it to stay that way if possible)

I have old music, apps, podcasts, books, and movies that I have already purcahsed. I am just setting my iCloud up, and I can't get anything onto it from my PC. And is it possible to keep stuff in the iCloud and only have it on my PC and not my iphone?
Thank you,
iCloud Rookie.

Music is not included in the iPhone backup, because it is already on your computer, so why duplicate it?
Music can only be synced to one computer at a time, so if you change computers the contents of the iOS device will be replaced by what is on the latest computer.
If you have an iCloud backup and your music is saved to iCloud you can restore it by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. When this completes it will ask if you want to restore your iCloud content.

  • I'm retiring my old computer (windows xp) to a new computer (windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer

    i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
    Thanks in advance for the tips.

    Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.

    Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
    Get these folders from the XP machine
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    And put them here on the W7 machine
    C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
    C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

    sign in with your apple id on the new phone, then go to app store - update - purchase - all/not on this phone and hit the cloud next to the app to downlaod.

  • I have purchased (veranda magazines) for my IPHONE which I would like to use on my macbook air. Do I have to repurchase these app or is there some way to get them in my macbook air with no charge?

    i have purchased (veranda magazines) for my IPHONE which I would like to use on my macbook air. Do I have to repurchase these app or is there some way to get them in my macbook air with no charge?

    Veranda Magazine is a free app available for iOS devices in the iOS App Store.  You then purchase a Veranda Magazine subscription from within the app.  In other words, the app itself is free, but the contents are not.
    There is no way to duplicate or import this to a Mac.  Your Mac runs a totally different operating system.
    iBooks can now import to Mac since OS X Mavericks came out about a month ago.  But that does not apply to magazines or iOS Newsstand publications.

  • I am installing iCloud.  My last step is to update store preferences.  All selections (music, apps, books, etc.) are grey and cannot be ticked as suggested.  Any ideas?

    I'm assuming that Rosersberg is in Sweden (?). If it is then you are in a country where music can't currently be re-downloaded from the store, only apps and ibooks. If you still have your old computer with your music on it then you should be able to copy it over from it e.g. via file sharing, an external drive : copying content.

    I have tried

    Any other suggestions?

    Update your safari.  Install this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
    The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not.

    They are not on the device.
    and if they are not then you go to the file of edit menu and click check for downloads and any apps you bought will download to your pc.
    No, this will only download items that have been purchased but not yet been download.
    And they are already on his computer.

  • I have an iphone5 and no apps can access my camera roll. When i go to privacy settings there is no option to turn it on. How do I get these apps to access my camera roll? I have tried deleting and reinstalling the apps.

    I have a new iPhone 5. I am trying to get apps like instagram, facebook etc to upload pictures from my camera roll. When i try to get a picture from the camera roll it instructs me to go to settings - privacy - photos and turn access on. When I do this, there is no option to turn it on. All i get is a screen saying "apps that have requested access to your photos will appear here". NO APPS APPEAR HERE. When I go to instagram I get the message "this app does not have access to your photos. You can enable access in Privacy Settings." I CAN'T enable it in Privacy Settings. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and it didnt work. Please help! Much appreciated.

    I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

  • How can I get music onto my phone if it isn't an automatic option to download via the cloud?

    I bought music today on my laptop, and it popped up on my phone to transfer.. Which I did with most of it... Unfortunately one of the albums never downloaded, though it is on laptop! It shows up in my itunes when I am on my laptop. It also shows that I have purchased it in the itunes app, but is not in my music selction with the cloud symbol next to the album for me to transfer it onto my phone. I have nooo clue if this is making sense, but I'd appreciate some help I have rebooted both devices to no avail.

    I realized that.
    This has been an outstanding problem for many months.
    All I would like to know is if I can put music onto it atall..
    Thanks.

  • In the attached vi, I have a 2-dim series of EMGs which I would like to connect with a 1-dim array. How can I do this?

    In the attached vi, de Y values are given for each time as a matrix. The problem is that the y values coming out have to be a 1-dim array, in order to connect this vi with another vi. How can I do this?

    Hi,
    can you post your curve fitting .vi?
    I think you can do this with the reshape array.vi, and take the 2-D array, find out it's size, and multiply the two dimensions together to get the number of elements you need. That'll give you the array as 1-D, but whether it's in the correct order as you need it is another matter.
    It all depends on what the 2-D array is representing, and how much of it needs to go to the "other" .vi
    Hope that helps

  • How do i get my apps from my ipad onto my imac? i am logging into itunes but cannot get apps

    plse help

    You do realize that the apps for the iPad cannot be used on the Mac, right? They are two different operating systems. iOS apps for iOS devices and Mac Apps for Macs.
    You can only store iOS apps in the iTunes libraries on a Mac.

  • How do I get music off my ipod and on to my itunes acount?

    I need to burn a CD for a freind but I cannot get my music off of my Ipod and on to my computer. I want to put it in a play list I made but it will not let me drag it.

    The media should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    That being said, if for some silly reason the media is not in iTunes and you have chosen to not maintain a backup of the library, iTunes purchases can be transferred from an iDevice to iTunes. 
    Connect the device, right click on the device and select "Transfer Purchases".

  • How do i get music when my security questions are apparently wrong?

    I go to buy the song, enter my password, then it brings me to my security questions. I answer them, being very careful of spelling and capitalization, and it says theyre wrong. any tips?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • HT4946 I have just (successfully) updated my iphone 4 with the i0s but cannot get my apps back. They are on my itunes on the computer but cannot transfer back onto my phone, can anyone help please?

    I have just successfully updated my iphone 4 with the latest ios update but lost all my apps. I can find them on my itunes a/c but cannot get them to transfer back onto phone without downloading all again, what I am I missing?

    Is "Sync Apps" in the apps tab checked? If it is and they still won't sync, uncheck it then run a sync, then recheck it and run the sync again. If that doesn't help, on the phone itself, go to your app store, tap on updates, then go to purchased, and tap the cloud button next to them to redownload.

    One way is via the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter
