How do I backup entire iTunes library to iCloud with Windows XP

Have just downloaded iTunes version 10.5.1 and am wanting to backup my entire library to icloud which in the description of the update it says it can now do. How do I do it?? Can't work it out..
Im running Windows XP. (unless this is another thing that XP can't do with iCloud...)
Thanks in advance..

I'm sure I read in the description of the update info of version 10.5.1 that it was a new option. Maybe I misread it?? Im intrigued about iTunes match now. I'll google it & find out about it...
Thanks!

TS2776 i now have window 8 however itunes keeps giving me a message that i need to authorize this computer how do i do this

new to windows 8 im getting a message that says i need to authorize this computer how do i do this using my ipod

You wouldn't be able to authorize your computer using your iPod, but Apple does have an article that can get iTunes to shut up about authroization (especially when it's already authorized, but iTunes gets confused for some reason).

I just formated my computer. how do I sync my iphone to itunes

Hello. I had to format my computer and reinstall windows 7 and itunes. When I hook up my iphone to ituens, the app section is all greyed out. And when I hit sync apps it says "all data will be transfered from itunes to your iphone" and it shows all of my apps out of my folders and organization. How can I just copy my iphone data to itunes so I dont have to rearrange everything? Thank you!

Put another way, your phone is a destination, not a source. From what I understand, you can't directly "restore" your computer configuration from your phone.

Try:

Also, are you sure you authorized the right account? Could some media be purchased with another account?

It's too late for that. Maybe you should consider setting up your next iPhone to backup to iCloud... it happens automatically without user intervention once it's set up. All that's required is a power source for the phone and a WiFi internet connection.

I need to know .. How many arabic podcasts on iTunes?

I need to know .. How many arabic podcasts on iTunes?

Problem with implementing that logic in a calculated column is that the value only updates when the row is modified. What you might want to do is have the logic to update the value based on your calculation as part of a timer job, that runs and updates the
value on a schedule asynchronously in the list for existing items. Sorry the solution isn't OOTB but a better way to do this.

HT1373 How do I backup my itunes library to an external drive

My iTunes library is unstable. I have two questions:
1) How do I backup my iTunes library to an external drive?
2) Why am I constatntly prompted to add my computer to iCloud when I have done so multiple times?
When opening iTunes, I receive he error message: "Please Sign In Again, iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and he Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again."
I tried downloading and installing/repairing the latest iTunes. That did not correct the problem.
Also, I have sync'd to iCloud. Every time I select iMatch from iTunes, I am prompted to Add This Computer to iCloud. I have already done this multiple times.

I presume your songs were on the computer before you updated to the recent version. If so see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or
Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. For backup advice see the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "print" your library, but I have a script called ExportCSV that can be used to export selected data which can then be read with a spreadsheet such as Excel.

I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

Hello,
As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
Thank you for any help.
