How do I sync my iPhone when all my playlist music is in the cloud? on iTunes Match?

I just recently lost my old iMac where I had all my music stored on the hard drive.  thankfully I backed everything up in iTunes Match.  Now I've gotten a new MacAir and all my music and  playlists show up on iTunes as they did on my old computer, except all 449 songs are now in the cloud and no on my hard drive.  I've downloaded 5 new songs onto my MacAir and added them to my playlist so that I could sync them on my iPhone.  However, when I go to sync my iPhone, it says there's only 5 songs I can sync, and does not appear to be reading the other 449 songs stored on the cloud in iTunesMatch.  How do I sync my iPhone with all the songs on my iTunes playlist, and not just those songs stored on the hard drive?

  • HT1386 How do I sync my iphone when my computer keeps giving me a "you don't have enough access priviliges" message

    How do I sync my iphone when keep getting a "you don't have enough access priviliges" message?

    I don't know all the details but will ask some basic questions:
    Did you download iTunes on your computer? You sync your phone to your computer by starting iTunes on your computer and connecting your phone.
    Another tip is to use the View menu in iTunes on your computer to View Sidebar. Your phone should show up in the left sidebar of iTunes on your computer when connected to your computer. You select it there and then use the tabs to the right to select items to sync to your iPhone.
    Sorry if these suggestions are too obvious.

    how can i sync my iphone, when i acept the trust option, but it doesnt give me the tab that says "iphone" next to the store/library tab?

    Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

  • I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.

    I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.  The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud.  I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically put in the Cloud or do I have to push iTunes Match. I certainly don't want to upload the whole library again. Thanks

    I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically sent to the Cloud or do I have to click on iTunes Match? I certainly don't want to start the whole upload process over again. Thanks

    It should do so automatically, if not check it's staus this way.
    In iTunes press "Command J" or select "View Options," under the view menu. In the popup window check iCloud Status. It will now appear as one of the columns in your main iTunes window.
    This column will show which of your songs are matched, uploaded, ineligible, etc.
    When you navigate to the song you downloaded you will see it's iCloud status.
    If the status says, "waiting," and you want it available on Match now, then in the iTunes "Store," menubar pulldown, select "Update iTunes Match."
    It will scan your drive, and update all status'.
    You will not have to upload everything again.
    Even if in iTunes you turn Match off, and back on again.
    Match remembers you!

  • How can i sync my iphone when my screen is smashed and i cannot type the passcode?

    i smashed the screen to my iphone 4 and i cant sync to my itunes because it keeps asking for my passcode, which i cant type because my touch pad won't work. i need to erase my phone of all my info before i sell it, how can i go about doing this if i cannot connect it to my itunes? even if i can erase it without connecting to my itunes, i'd still like to recover some info so if anyone can help me sync my phone i'd be really grateful!

    When you sync an iPhone to the same computer it was last synced to it will not require the passcode. If you never synced it to any computer, or you don't have the last computer you synced to, you are out of luck.

  • How do I sync my iphone when normal methods stopped working?

    I am having trouble syncing my audio books-- some thing that has never happened before. I recently purchased an audio book that shows up in my itunes library on my desk top. However when I tried to sync my iPhone with my Itunes library nothing took. I was trying to take off some audio books from my iPhone and add others but nothing changed on my iPhone. I tried manually syncing them as well and that didn't work either. This is the first time I have had this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Betty

    What it means is that the media and apps you have selected to sync would take 3.7GB more space than the phone has available. Deselect some of the stuff you're trying to put on it. Photos and videos can be retrieved as though the phone were a camera using any app that supports one.

  • How can I sync my Iphone with a new apple ID and keep the old content?

    Just got a new computer and had to create a new apple ID. I want to sync my iphone but keep all my contacts, apps, music, etc. from my old apple ID.  How would I go about that?

    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 4s with a different computer other than the original one that I used initally?

    How do I change computers for syncing my iPhone 4s?  The original laptop that I used to sync with died and I can not get my iPhone to sync with my desktop.

    can't if you do not have access to the old library (the usual workaround is to backup the old library and import it to the new itunes)
    for important data...
    sync your existing contacts with icloud, your text messages will not be disrupted, music will sync with whatever music you have on your new itunes, photos shoud still be in the camera roll (I would sync them to photostream before you sync, just in case).   Any photos on your phone that are not in camera roll or photostream... if you lost those pictures with the computer crash I would take screen shots (lock button + home button at the same time) of each photo so they show up in the camera roll.  App data may or may not be lost.  In my experience, it depends on the app.  Some of the apps recognize your apple ID and sync data over the internet with servers, some do not.  I would take note of important data (such as passwords in a password keeper if you have such an app) just in case if you lose that data.
