What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

Home sharing allows you to share content between computers and devices on your wifi network - so if you have your library on your computer's iTunes and you want to access it on your iPad then both your computer and iPad have to be turned on, iTunes open on your computer, and both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
iTunes Match will upload your music library to the cloud (including music copied from CDs and from other sources) allowing you to accces it from your computer or iPad without requiring your main computer to be on - and if you have access to a network when not at home you can download or stream music from it. It's also acts as a second backup of your content (you should still maintain your own backup of your library).
iTunes Match, from http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
But whether it's worth it only you will know. Personally I don't use it, I keep and maintain my own backup of my content and sync it to my devices so that I don't have to rely on being online to access what I might want to listen to,

  • Difference between "Show All Music" and Itunes Match

    iOS 7.0.2
    I can't tell the difference.  Nothing seems to change if I have only "Show All Music" selected as opposed to selecting iTunes Match.  All I want to do is have access to songs not downloaded to my phone  in iCloud.

    I've since had confirmed from iTunes Store Support that-
    "The answer to you question is, Yes. The music that you did not purchase form the iTunes Store will automatically be available to your devices as long as it matches with the songs available from the store. For you to understand better, I provided some articles that will confirm my answer.
    If you want the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. It’s built right into the iTunes app on your Mac or PC and the Music app on your iOS devices. And it lets you store your entire collection, including music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. For just $24.99 a year."
    On the strength of that I am willing to give iTunes Match a try, I guess.

  • VISA -107380733​8 can anyone give me a better definition of what causes this error, other than the descriptio​n provided in LabVIEW help?

    I have been seeing a recurring instance of this error recently, that I am not completely understanding. Can anyone better explain what may be occurring when this type of error occurs.
    Feel feel to speculate, but I was hoping maybe a designer might chime in on this.

    Well, if I were the designer of the error code, I think I could probably give an idea of what kinds of circumstances might cause this error to occur, regardless of the application.
    However, if it helps, here is the problem. I have an ATE program that performs thermal cycling for a UUT using VISA calls to a GPIB controller which communication with 3 different instruments. The test itself runs fine for long periods of time, and then I start to see this error occur. However, the program appears to continue to run after I press 'OK' from the pop-up dialog ackowledging that the error has occurred. There appears to be no evidence of a memory leak that could possibly be contributing to the problem, or at least none that I have detected, and the error description itself is very vague. So basically what I am looking for is a better understanding of what MIGHT be causing this type of error. I would not expect a specific cause for my particular application, because as Bob was so kind to point out, I hadn't offered much information in my original post. What I was really looking for was a better understanding of the error itself, from a 30kft point of view.
    Thanks Bob_Schor for pointing out the deficiencies of my original question, it's posts like yours that make this discussion board a wonderful place to have a professional discussion. 

  • PowerView option - Drill Down one level at a time also hide the columns other than the hierarchy columns

    Hi All,
    I have a simple PowerView report (Excel 2013) in which I have a hierarchy (three columns), an image column, and a Value column:
    When I change the Show Levels option to "Rows - Enable Drill Down One Level at a Time", image column also hide.
    I want to keep the image column displayed while drill down/up to the hierarchy.
    Is it possible? If yes, then how?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Muhammad Ehsan

    Hi Muhammad,
    According to your description, you have images at child level. Now you want to have the images displayed when have the child level items collapsed. Right?
    In this scenario, when you show the data in a matrix in Power View, those images, Size ID and Prices have been added into a child group. If we enable drill down, all the items within the child group will be collapsed. We can't change it at all in Power
    View.
    For your requirement, we suggest you design your report using SQL Server Data Tools in Reporting Services. In Reporting Services, we can have specific columns toggled by the parent item.
    Reference:
    Add drill-down to a Power View chart or matrix

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Can't decide between the iphone or ipad as my first apple product. Is there a difference other than phone and size?

    Can't decide between the iphone or ipad as my first apple product. Is there a difference other than phone and size?

    A couple of differences:
    iPad native apps
    Interactive e-books with multi-touch and 3D support (in iBooks 2)
    Layouts (kind of merges with iPad apps, Music/Settings, etc. all look different)
    Wi-Fi only models, no contracts
    iPads are unlocked by default (3G models)
    As paul said, I would really wait for the next iteration of iPad. That's what I'm doing

  • How do i get siri to set a reminder for a time other than the appt time. For example:  I want Siri to remind me at 10:00 pm on Monday that I have a dentist appt. at 9:00 am on Tuesday. She screws up the dates and times no matter what I say

    What I can't figure out is how to set a reminder for a time other than the appt time. For example:  I want Siri to remind me at 10:00 pm on Monday that I have a dentist appt. at 9:00 am on Tuesday. She screws up the dates and times no matter what I say

    "Remind me at 10:00 pm on Monday".  Siri: "Ok, just tell me what you want to be reminded about".  "I have a dentist appointment on 9:00 am on Tuesday".  Siri should set it up correctly.

  • All I still get is a blank other than the side bars with stuff in them when I go to Itunes store. What's with that? is anyone else having this issue?

    All I still get is blank other than the side bars with information like previous purchases and all. But I can't buy or preview anything. I've done the winsock reset and all but that hasn't helped. I checked my firewall and that hasn't done anything either and it's enabled so why the issue?

    I'd try the following document:

  • I want to edge to a phone other than the one that I am "eligible" for

    I am very frustrated with the service that I have received lately. I currently own an iPhone 5 and have an upgrade in July. The phone works fine other than the short battery life and little storage left due to the fact that the new software updates get larger as they go. I became eligible for early edge at the beginning of February. When I went to take a look at my options I was told that I would only be able to edge to a droid max. I have had iPhone's since 2010 when I first got a smart phone, my entire platform runs off of Apple and I have absolutely no desire to change that now.
    I called customer service to see if anything could be done to change this option and was told that she could not do anything at the moment, but if I called back in the middle of March that I would be able to get an iPhone 6 and that she would notate my account saying just that. I waited like she told me and called back yesterday. I was then told that my account was notated "if she calls back in a COUPLE OF MONTHS that she will be able to get an iPhone 6." I'm sorry, but there is a big difference between a couple of weeks and a couple of months, especially considering that in a couple of months I will be able to upgrade my phone anyway which would mean there would have been no point in calling back if that's what I had been told originally. Why would I be told one thing and be specifically told when to call back, and then have her write down something else completely? It is very frustrating to be told one thing and then to essentially be told that I am incorrect because something else was written down. I have been a Verizon customer since 2007 and stayed with Verizon even when I moved to my own plan in 2013 and the fact that I am being given the run around is extremely frustrating and annoying. I am very dissatisfied with the service that I have received and with the fact that this is my fourth time dealing with the same topic.

    Yes, you got the phone which was currently eligible for Early Edge at the time. This changes from time to time. When the iPhone 6/6+ was first released those were the ONLY phones you could purchase on Early Edge. This was for September and October of 2014. You would not have been able to purchase any other phone with Early Edge at the time. At the time, this made a lot of android phone owners angry, just as it is making the OP(an iPhone owner) angry now. Then it was the Droid Turbo ONLY, then it was....
    One of the requisites AS LISTED ON THE EDGE PAGE is that your line must be eligible for an upgrade. Verizon lifts this requirement IF you want to purchase a specific phone. If the phone you want is not eligible for Early Edge at this moment, it may be at some point in the future and the phone CURRENTLY available may NOT be available for Early Edge. You were able to get the phone you wanted on Early Edge because it was the phone(or one of the phones) eligible at the time for Early Edge.
    Verizon does not have a link for Early Edge because it is not always available AND the eligible phones change from time to time. This is no different than any other special they occasionally run.
    Regardless, since a link WAS given for Edge which DOES list upgrade eligibility as being a requirement, if someone DOES NOT fulfill that requirement it is not out of the question that other portions of Edge may be different, too, such as what you posted "All Verizon Wireless smartphones, tablets and basic phones are eligible for Verizon Edge." If Verizon relaxes a requirement to enter into Edge, why is it so hard to fathom they may ALSO change something else such as which phones are eligible???
    The fact that the OP IS NOT able to purchase an iPhone on Early Edge simply reinforces this fact.

  • How do I assign a file to a drive other than the drive that contains my program software?

    I've just installed a video editing program on my new Mac Pro Xeon 64 bit workstation. I want to ensure that all my media files reside on a drive other than the drive that contains programs. I had no problem doing this on my old Dell. How do I do this on my Mac Pro? -- Gary

    Next time, 'what' program would also help.

  • How can I add vocal effects other than the 9 Voice options? (I can't shift pitch)

    Hello!
    I am making the switch from PC and am just trying to lower the pitch of a vocal track by at least an octave; I just got a MBP last week and am running GB 10.0.2. I can't find any info on similar problems that is helpful; most solutions I've come across show that when the track is selected, there should be a pitch shift bar with a sliding button, but I do not have that. I read a lot of people saying something about the track being purple or not, but I'm not sure if that's relative to the version I have or if that has anything to do with what's happening. When I select the track, in the little area toward the lower left when "Track" is selected, (what is that space called?) where the pitch shift option is for other people, I only have a sliding bar for Pitch Correction, and a checkbox for Limit to Key and Enable Flex. When "Region" is selected, it just shows the name of the region and there are no options. Another question I have is how to change the pitch of midi sounds? When the keyboard is open on the screen I have tried moving the little octave shifter, but it assigns the sounds that are on the keyboard at different locations if I move it, so it changes the sound completely. A couple of them shift one octave up or down, but there are no actual controls..
    I'm mostly just dabbling with EDM/trap/Hiphop tracks at the moment, but am confused about whether or not there are other vocal effects and controls other than the preset Voice options in the instrument area (Bright vocal, Classic vocal, compressed vocal, Edge vocal, etc.)? I'm not going to be using GB forever, but are there not any other options like for current rap/trap production (phaser, balance, EQ, auto tune, choppers, actual voice altering effects, etc.) [preferably without buying extra things]? And not only vocals, but editing effects for all sounds.. If so, how do I get to them? And if not I know I should at least be able to lower or raise the pitch of a vocal recording... There are some pretty legit electronic instruments that are exactly the kind of sound I'm going for so I was surprised to not see an equally simple to access vocal effects board or something. Any additional tips for a n00b electronic music producer would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you for any help!

    In GarageBand 10 you can no longer change a track with an audio file to a "purple" audio recording, as it has been possible in GarageBand '11.
    Even, if you can make the transpose slider visible by enlarging the the track editor panel, the slider will be disabled.
    What you can do however, is either add an AuPItch filter  from the audioUnit panel or to convert your audio file to loop and to admit from the Loop Browser.
    In the new GarageBand you add the AuPitch filter from the Smart Controls.
    Enlarge the SmartControl panel by dragging the dividing line upwards, until you see the Audio Units brick, then add an Apple Audio Unit and set it to AuPitch.
    Or create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library". You need to trim the filet an exact number of measures.
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop. Make sure, that one-shot loop is not enabled.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample  like any regular loop.
