How many of you rely only on the music from the cloud?

I recently setup an appoinment to have my HDD replace by Apple and while cleaning out before backing up I thought about all of my music, which by the way takes most of the space in my HDD.
How many of you just erased all of the music on their HDD's and rely solely on iTunes Match for music listening, and why?

I think you misunderstood the question. I ust wanna know how many people basicaly erased all of their music and now listen using their copy from the cloud, sort of like using iTunes Match on the iPhone. I was just tjinking about going all digital rather than having physical copy of all of my music so to speak.

  • TOC entries: is there a limit to how many links you can have to the same htm in TOC?

    TOC entries: is there a limit to how many links you can have to the same htm in TOC? I have an HTM that requires multiple links in the TOC. Now I can't compile a CHM. I have eliminated all other possible problems...

    Hmm, that would be a new one on me, but I see new things all the time and try to always keep an open mind.
    Okay, so one way past this might be to do the following.
    Create a snippet. Copy the content of the desired page and paste into the snippet.
    Create 30 different versions of the same topic by simply placing the Snippet into each topic. Then insert the different topics into the TOC.
    You should still be able to modify the content of the topic in the single place (the snippet) and by having discrete points from the TOC, there should be no issue and synchronization should work beautifully.

  • Is there a limit to how many songs you can have on the offline mode?

    I am trying to get all my albums to sync with my phone and be available offline but It keeps on saying that I have selected too many tracks for the offline mode. Is there a limit to how many songs you can have?Thanks :)

    Spotify applies a limit of 3,333 tracks but everything is dependent on your phones on-board memory
    as Spotify actually copies the tracks to it so you don't need internet connection.
    My Galaxy S2 has 11 odd GB and I filled it with 1800 tracks (albeit some were 20 - 30 mins).
    Also check if you use on-board memory for photos etc. 'cos Spotify will use a lot of it.
    I have asked them to look at this and maybe give warnings about Spotify's memory usage rather
    than the number of tracks.
     

  • How many of you rely on just 1 computer?

    Is anyone here solely reliant on their MBP or do you have other computers. Usually i'm one who had at least two systems, usually a desktop & laptop back when i used windows. However when i got my first mac (12" 1.33GHz PB) i sold my laptop and kept the desktop which i never used as the PB gave me no problems whatsoever throughout its use.
    I then upgraded last yr to a 15" and sold my desktop thinking my 15" was going to be as reliable as the 12" but alas this wasn't the case i had a lot of problems and a lot of downtime that in some cases i had to borrow my brothers HP laptop just to meet deadlines. Thats when i got fed up and sold the PB and got this MBP. However i was wondering if anyone knows where to get a farily used machine like a 12" PB or a good deal for a new one to use as my backup machine.
    Plus it would be a collectors items since all rumors point to the fact that apple doesn't plan to release a 12" version of the MBP
    Any ideas?

    Never listen to the rumours. Steve jobs would sell his mum if he thought he could make a buck
    Joke aside, there is no harm in having a back up machine if your budget allows you to do so. On the Apple website there is a section where they sell refurbished products. They can be anything from individual customer returns to ones used at schools and returned after 6 months or so. Of course they are all fully serviced and under the same Apple guarantee, depending on your luck they may not even have the slightest blemish or scratch.

    Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.

    Also, is the USB keyboard compatible? Let Apple know how many of you are interested here, someone will post the appropriate link I assume also.

    I would not buy it. I want portability and if I have to carry
    around a keyboard I might as well just bring my laptop.

    The fact that you bought an iPhone has no effect on my happiness. There are a number of threads regarding echoing. Use the Search Discussions box at the upper right to look for them.

  • Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages?

    Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages? Or has this feature been removed?

    Agreed! This feature was very useful. If you find out how to turn it on, please let me know.
    Apple, there is plenty of room in the window header all the way across on both sides of the word "Inbox". It's important to know many messages are in the Inbox. It provides a progress meter when you're cleaning out mail and striving for inbox zero.

  • How many users are registered for using the firefox sync server?

    I'm working on a german wikipedia article about "Firefox Sync" and I need more information about the current usage and the historical development of this feature - number of registered users for the Sync Server at Mozilla - would be nice to have numbers for 2011, 2012, and current usage.
    If possible, it would be also useful to know how many german speaking users are using the sync service.
    Where are your Sync Servers located (US, Europe, Asia)?
    What kind of systems and platforms are supported?
    Is there a current documentation about the importance of the Firefox Sync Service, that I may reference?

    thanks for your fast reply,
    your URL to the page with the ideas of the new PiCL service shows in the remark about the usability of the "Firefox Sync" some hints about the usage of the current sync service "only 1% of our users have actually done so" - so I will use that as reference.
    But it would be nicer to have some public message - for example: a mozilla blog entry - from the mozilla services group about the number of registered Sync Server User - and also about performance and reliabilty.
    But if that is private information only, you can close this problem.

  • How many threads can be running at the same time

    Hi!!
    Dows anyone knows how many Threads can be running at the same time in the JVM.
    I'm making a multi thread client-server app and I would like to know how much simultneous connections the JVM support. I'm using one Thread per connection.

    Hi, thanks to all for your answers.
    I think that I made the wrong question, as you said: "that means the number of threads currently created".
    I'm worry about this because my application is already online (It's a mail server -SMTP and POP3 server using ORACLE for the users database- ) and some other user post in the "multi-tread forum" that almost any JVM can only have 700 threads created at the same time, and I've never heard or read anything about this.
    what you mean with the stack space (memory??)
    I'm using the JavaWebServer 2.0 and a servlet to start the main Thread.
    Again Thanks to all for the answers but I think that the schapel answer is the one that solve my doubt...

  • Hi, i want to buy a licence of Creative Cloud, but i have one question... Whats the best choose for a little enterprise?? And if i buy a Single Person Licence, on how many pc's can i install the suite??

    Hi, i want to buy a licence of Creative Cloud, but i have one question... Whats the best choose for a little enterprise?? And if i buy a Single Person Licence, on how many pc's can i install the suite??
    Thanks for helping

    no, that's incorrect.
    you can activate on 1 mac and 1 pc, or 2 pc's, or 2 mac's, concurrently.
    i have cc installed on 2 pcs and 1 mac.  i can only activate 2 at any one time which works well for me because my pcs are at home and my office and i use them most of the time.
    but when i travel i take my macbook so i just deactivate one or both of my pcs (uninstalling is not needed) and sign in to my macs cc app.

  • I've heard 2 things:  1)that you can only register the cs5 Student Teacher edition once  2) that you can register the cs5 Student Teacher edition to up to 2 devices. Which one is true?

    I need to transfer my Adobe Cs5 software (Student Teacher edition) and license from my old Mac Book Pro to a newer Mac Air. I've heard 2 things:
    1)that you can only register the cs5 Student Teacher edition once
    2)that you can register the cs5 Student Teacher edition to up to 2 devices
    Which one is true? How do I transfer the software and software license?

    Regardless of what heard you can do registration-wise, which you only need to do once, you are allowed to have two activated installations.  There is no limit to how many times you might activate an installation, but you can only maintain two activated installations at a time.  So if you have two machines you can have the software installed and activated on both.  If you get a new (third) machine tyhen you would have to deactivate one of the other two machines' installations in order to activate/use the sfotware on the newest one.

  • How Many of You are Willing?

    How many of you are willing to line up at the stores like we did for the launch to demand justice?
    Frankly, I'd be encouraged to see people actually get off the 'net and go out on the streets. Me? I'll save my shoes for things like:
    Stopping a war on Iran.
    Actually voting so that massive vote fraud does not matter.
    Changing fund policy so the dollar does not collapse, so we'll still be able to buy cool gadgets manufactued in China.
    Making sure there is no draft so my son does not go to war.
    Ensuring that executive orders don't suspend government in the event of another terrorist attack.
    Am I loosing perspective here? I consider myself lucky, if not a bit foolish, to have been able to get an iPhone on day zero.
    I still want a credit, but is this the only thing that gets us mad enough these days?
    Ok, back to your regularly scheduled support forum.

    Please tell me that there are others who touch their phone and feel somewhat dirty, but very priviledged and are willing to see things for what they are.
    Oh, and please tell me Apple has a strategy for allowing me to develop legit 3rd party apps too.
    And the credit thing too. So I can buy more Apple stuff and feel good about it.
    (wow, am I shallow or what?)
