How to access the whole iTunes iCloud Library with an Android phone?

Hello all,
I am a newbie here, so please forgive me if I'm not following protocol here.  I searched for the word "Android" in all of the support docs. and got 0 hits!  Is there a corporate policy at work here?
I know that Google and Apple (and by extension Android and iOS) are competing hard for all of us techie music lovers out there who use both ecosytems.  Well, Google Play wants to have my entire music library, Apple's ever at the ready with iTunes/iCloud/Match, and now I've even gotten solicitations from Amazon which has a "Cloud MP3 Player" with purchases ready to download that I made from Amazon in 2010, before I ever dreamed of getting MP3 files instead of a physical CD.  I mean the liner notes had the lyrics to the songs right?  Well, I enjoy looking at lyrics.  Anyways, . . .
What are the best recommendations for how to access my iCloud music library with my Android phone? 
Yes, one solution is to use both Google's and Apple's services and just duplicate everything everywhere.  But, I'd just like to settle on iTunes/iCloud solution, but I have a brand new Android phone that I want to use.  The iPhone 5 screen doesn't come close to my Motorola Droid RAZR Max HD!  :-)  Sorry, all you iPhone folks.  You have all the app's., so I have to latch on to somethine for a reason why I stayed with Android! 
Thanks,
Randall.

Apple is pretty much the only one who does not support other platforms and it will be their downfall in the future. I have bought a few hundred tracks (and one movie) from iTunes before the competition started to catch up. Their Cloud service just came into Finland but I've already moved on to others. I've also bought music from Spotify, Nokia Music and Xbox Music. I've been a subscriber of Nokia Music, Xbox Music and now Google Music. I'm also a Netflix subscriber and I have a local IPTV service that also provides movie rentals from various providers - and guess what, they also work on all platforms.
The reality is that today was the first time in a long long time that I've actually even bothered to open iTunes. Lack of platform support will destroy iTunes in the long run. Apple is starting to look like Microsoft once did. Today you can even get Office for almost every platform - even mobile devices.
Limited access and/or features is also one of the biggest reasons that turn people away from legit services. DRM protected music was the reason I had over 20,000 MP3s before it was removed from iTunes. When that happened I deleted all the old files and became a honest, paying customer.

  • How to access the photos on icloud

    hi
    how to access the photos which i saved in i cloud, from my iPhone 5,
    Note: i do not use any PC. and i only have purchased 20 GB of space on an annual sub. so as to save my photos, and create space in my phone and now i am unable to access it,
    please advise
    thanks

    There isn't really a way to "save" photos to iCloud currently with non-beta software.
    iCloud is involved with photos in 2 ways -- backup and Photo Stream.
    Backup of an iOS device includes Camera Roll photos but they cannot be viewed at iCloud.com -- the backup can only be used when doing a restore of an iOS device.
    Photo Stream photos also cannot be viewed at iCloud.com; Photo Stream is designed as a method of transferring photos from one device to another and is not designed to store the photos. More info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    There is a new feature -- "iCloud Photo Library" -- coming sometime after the iOS 8 release next week: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-demotes-icloud-photo-library-beta/

  • RDS 2012R2 How to access the whole destop

    Hi all,
    very simple question: I've deployed a RDS 2012R2 farm, it consists of:
    2 RD Web Access servers
    2 RD Connection Broker servers in HA mode
    2 RD Session host servers
    I'm able to publish applications and I can access the through web access or via remote app feature.
    How can I access the entire desktop of a server?

    Hi,
    in RDS on Windows Server 2012 we're speaking of a deployment which van hold one or more Collections. A Collection can either be of type "RemoteApp Programs" or "Remote Desktop"
    As soon as you publish your 1st RemoteApp the Collection will change to a type "Remote App Programs" meaning you can only publish RemoteApps, no Full Desktops. In order to switch to type "Remote Desktop" you need to unpublished all currently
    published RemoteApps from that collection.
    The above means that you cannot mix Full Desktop and Remote Apps in a single Collection. If you want a mix the official way would be to create two separate Collections.
    There are guides out there describing a registry "hack" where you trick the RD Connection Broker into publishing the mix, but that is officially not supported and could lead into issues in regards to e.g. User Profile Disks.

    I have a question. I need to do a sort on news articles in our database, sorting
    by the date they were posted. I then want to take only the top 6 articles. We
    are using Weblogic 5.1. When I use the following statement, 6 articles are taken
    from the database, then sorted, which ends up leaving out the most recent articles:
    <cm:select contentHome="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.document.Document" query="<%=contentQuery%>"
    sortby = "creationDate DESC, headlineDate DESC" max="6" id="contentList" />
    I need to get ALL the articles for the sort, then just take the most recent 6.
    So, I know that I can use the following code and monitor the counter variable,
    "i". But, how do i do this to only display the top 6 items?
    <es:foreachinarray id="content" array="contentList" type="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.content.Content"
    counterId="i">
    <% myStr=content.getIdentifier(); %>
    <% if (i<6) {
    %>
    <div class="marginText">
    <cm:printproperty id="content" name="title" encode="html" />  
    <a href="<%=new String(news_display.jsp?id="+myStr)%">">more</a>
    </div>
    <% } %>
    </es:foreachinarray>
    However, when I run this, no results show up. What is the correct way to do this?

    Hello Anjum,  
    It looks that the view is based on the master data table itself and view doesn't contain data and is a logical representation of the underlying database tables.
    Moreover the view RSDVCHA is used for viewing the  characteristics, basic chars and local properties.
    Are you storing similar values in YMETADATA?

  • How to access the element s in a hashMap with order

    Does anybody know how to access the elements in a hashMap with order.
    I know set is a collection that doesn't gaurantee the order so the iterator of keySet will not gaurantee the order.
    Is there any way to solve this?
    Thanks

    If you mean the order in which the key/value pairs where added to the
    map, have a look at the LinkedHashMap class. If you mean 'natural'
    order, you shouldn't be using a HashMap at all then; have a look at the
    TreeMap class instead.
    kind regards,

  • How do i transfer a single CD on to my back up hard drive without having to transfer the whole itunes library?

    How do I transfer a single CD recently loaded on to itunes to my hard drive without having to transfer the whole itunes library?

    Copy just those files. But that isn't ideal. You really want a differential system that efficiently updates the backup set with all new and updated files.  See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested strategy.

  • "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    this just started w/ me yesterday.  I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere.  I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
    Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
    The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit".  Download is useless because I'm already running the latest.  Quit is pretty useless.
    I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music.  Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

  • How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

  • How can i search certain music in the library of my device instead of the whole itunes library

    i want to search albums that are on my phone but when i type the name of it in the searchbar in the new itunes and the album shows up it gives me the album for the whole itunes library and not my phone im sorry if this is confusing but this is the est way i can explain

    Kirby has already summed it up nicely. If you really want to ensure, that the recipient will see the the image as an attachment and not as an embedded image, compress the file before you send it. Export the image version in the right size to your Desktop, then right-click (or ctrl-click) and use "fCompress ...." from the contextual menu. Drag the compressed file to the Mail icon in the Dock.
    Just in case, you are sending your images to Windows users and have not come across this setting, you may want to check the Mail option in the "Edit" menu: "Always send Windows-friendly attachments".

    my husband and I want to use the remote app on each of our respective iPhones to access the same iTunes library via AppleTV.  is this possible?
