How do I recover a device that was accidentally removed from my iTunes in the Cloud account?

While removing old devices from my iTunes in the Cloud account, I accidently removed my current iPhone 5s from the list. I have saved closed out of the "manage account" window yet but don't see how to go back and undo this mistake. Is there a way to reverse this before closing out of this or do I have to re-install device?

Try going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and enabling Automatic Downloads while signed into the Apple ID you were managing. (If it's enabled, turn it off, then back on.) That should add the device to iTunes in the Cloud for the ID.

How do I delete music from my iPad and the cloud?

How do I delete music from my iPad without it being downloaded again from cloud? Please help.

Hi roy1939,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

Remove a song from iPad. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Cheers,
Judy

How do i merge ical from mobile me into the cloud

I can't merge my calendars from Mobile Me into the Cloud - they are still running under my me.com Apple ID and my ID in the cloud is mac.com. Ideas?

MobileMe was terminated more than a month ago. It's too late to migrate from it to iCloud.
If you have migrated, then your @me.com and @mac.com still work and refer to the same account. Are you saying that calendars on MobileMe are still showing up on your mac? They shouldn't. There's only iCloud now.

How to associate my iphone 4s to itunes in the cloud?

My iphone4s never is listed in my account under itunes in the cloud

I thank you. With your answer, I suddenly remembered that I had de-activated both Music and Apps in the iPhone 4S "Store" settings. As soon as these were re-activated, my iPhone 4S appeared in the listing of "iTunes in the Cloud" as an Associated Device together with my Windows 7-64 Desktop and my iPad 2 in my Account in the App Store.
Issue is solved. Thank you for your concern. Many regards

How to restore a backup from 32G device to 16G iphone

I lost my iphone5 few days a go, and then I bought a new 5s. But I didn't remember which capacity I used for my iphone5. I thought it was 16, then I bought 5s in 16G. When I got home, I tried to restore my 5s with the backup from my lost phone on iTunes. However, it said to me that my phone doesn't has enough capacity for restoring. I would like to have my photos and messages back, not necessarily all the apps, so what can I do?

You will need to select via iTunes, what you want to restore. Look under USB synching:

How to restore iPhone backup from a new Windows laptop?

I am using iPhone 4S and my phone went to recovery mode while updating iOS 8.1
Phone got started after a while and I am having backup of the phone in iTunes as well but unfortunately, I am not able to restore the backup!
I have copied the backup from %appdata% -> Roaming to my external hard disk!
So, is there any way to restore it from a new laptop while using my external hard disk?
I would appreciate if someone will let me know the necessary steps!

Really? Why would you do that?
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.
If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
No backup is not good.

How to restore a backup from time machine in 10.6.8

I am running 10.6.8 on my MacPro (early 2008). I have 4 internal hard drives. The main boot drive has 10.6.8 and the secondary drive with a system has Lion. I cannot completely upgrade to Lion on my main drive until all my software is compatible.
My main boot drive started acting like it's in slow motion 2 days ago. No matter what I do (DiskWarrior, Disk Utility, zap PRAM, fix permissions) nothing seems to help. Every mouse click or movement gives me the dreaded spinnin wheel and it hangs for about 5 min and then does what it's supposed to do. I have logged into a new account w/ no special 3rd party apps or utilities and it still does the same thing. Hard drive diagnostics say my hard drive is ok. I have tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo update but that hangs after a few minutes of starting. I am stymied.
I thought about restoring a Time Machine backup from 1 day before this happened, but before I attempt a full disk backup, need to ask what to do so as not lose everything.
I assume I must boot up from another disk or hard drive, correct? Can I simply select all the system folders and apps folder or do you think I should do a complete restore?
Thanks.

Could be a failing drive, could be Lion when you boot doing something
Disconnect all other drives etc., except the 10.6.8 boot drive, lets flush everything.
hold Shift upon booting, this is Safe mode and fixes things, reboot
then SMC reset, PRAM reset

Run all of OnyX checks, maintainance and cleaning then reboot at the end

If you have AppleJack already installed hold command S at startup of 10.6.8 and Applejack AUTO and press enter.

This mega cocktail will do plenty to rebuild everything and may catch your issue.
If your still having problems I would try to isolate it, if it occurs only if your connected to the Internet, or after the machine has booted Lion etc.
Narrow it down. It might be failing sectors on the drive, this has been known to cause beachballs as the hardware is trying to read from failing sectors, once it gets the information it should be transfering it to a new better sector and mapping off the bad one.
You can expidite this process when you fresh install, by erasing the entire drive (or Free space only) with Zero function in Disk Utility before laying large amounts of data on the drive. (like a OS or partition)
Good Luck

How to restore a backup from TM to a ssd?

Hello folk,
I'd like to change my HD with a 250 SSD but, before I buy it, I want to be sure that I can restore my backup, which actually is on a NAS (Network Attached Storage), to the brand new SSD.
Is it possible? I read that I shouldn't have any problems but I want to be more than 100% sure since I don't want to waste money
In case it's possible, how can I do that?
Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele

This additional backup you mentioned could be saved, for example, on a external USB storage?
Moreover, in the article you linked, at the "Restore an entire system" section, it's written that I would need to use the Recovery mode.
So, in order to answer my last question ("Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?"), I'd definitely say that I do need to have already installed any MacOS version on the new SSD so as to restore the entire system, right?

Can I restore a backup from my PC to the Mac in Parallels or other virtual simulator?

What I want to do:
I would like to backup my PC environment AS IS and restore it in Parallels or another virtual environment. Is that feasible? What would I use to do that? I use StorageCraft's ShadowProtect to back up my system each night. StorageCraft apparently has no experience in doing this either. If it is not feasible, what is my best solution
Background:
I have a PC that has over 30 programs that I use in a PC environment. To install my environment takes over 35 steps and 2 days of installation. Granted, some of those programs can be substituted with Mac equivaltents, but some cannot and I would like to buy some of the more expensive programs a little at a time. Restoring my environment takes very little time.

Both Parallels and VMWare Fusion offer "migration" programs that will attempt to transfer the Windows PC into a new Virtual Machine on the Mac if the Windows PC is on the network. That machine generally will boot just fine.
HOWEVER the problem that will arise comes from Microsoft's licensing. If you have an OEM version of Windows on the old PC (which 99% of users will, since they buy a Dell, Lenovo, etc. with Windows pre-installed) the OEM version is licensed only to run on that *ONE* CPU. Thus when you try and boot that machine it will boot, but Windows will not be able to authenticate the license. Microsoft's servers will discover you have "moved" the system to a new CPU.
At that point you *might* be able to figure out how to buy a license from Microsoft that the Windows machine can recognize. I did get Microsoft support to help with that once, but it was a bit of a convoluted process. The problem isn't buying the license--that's easy. The problem is getting the version of Windows you have to accept the license number and register itself.
As well, sometimes Microsoft has been known to offer a "become legal" option when faced with an unauthorized copy and may offer to sell you authorization. If you get that dialog things are a lot simpler :-) .
If you actually orignally installed a "retail box" version (not an OEM) of Windows on the original machine then you won't have any of these problems, as that license *can* be transferred to new equipment. The program will still want to reauthenticate but Microsoft will give your copy the "OK" once it confirms the license and finds it's a full retail license. Note that OEM versions are available for stand-alone sale, theoretically for those building their own system, so just the fact you bought it from NewEgg doesn't mean it was "retail"--retail versions come in retail packaging (fancy box), while OEM version tend to come simply in mailing sleeves.
Office is also sold both ways, though more users have the retail version. But if you bought Office with your Windows PC then you may find that license also cannot be transferred and you'll have to buy a new version of Office for the Windows virtual machine. Various other Windows software may have licensing quirks you'll run into with a transfer.
With full retail licensed copies of the Microsoft software, the process is dirt simple. But, as I said, Microsoft doesn't sell most of the copies of Windows that way, rather selling "one machine" linked versions of the operating system that can't be moved to new machines.
The advantage of the transfer is clear--if you do it, you skip the whole mess of having to reinstall all of the software and rebuild the Windows machine from scratch. Unfortunately Microsoft offers nothing like the Migration Assistant. The disadvantage is the same as using the Migration Assistant--you end up "inheritiing" various issues, along with the setup, from the old machine and transfer that onto the new one.
Note, as well, that you really are in no worse shape (and potentailly better shape) than if you had bought a new Windows PC.
