HT4859 How do I restore my Itunes account from the cloud.

  My computer crashed and I have a new one and need to restore Itunes before I sync my iphone and Ipad.

iCloud does not contain your iTunes media, other than purchased apps and music, which can be redownloaded if necessary (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html).  Transferring media not purchased from the iTunes or App stores to your iTunes library is not supported with iTunes.  You have to use 3rd party software such as PhoneView (mac) or Touch Copy (pc or mac) to accomplish this.
These two articles will explain how to re-establish syncing with iTunes and transfer as much data from your iPad to your iTunes library as possible.   (The first was written for the iPhone, but it works the same way for the iPad.)

  • How do I get MY iTunes back from the cloud

    The iCloud ate all my iTunes and won't give them back.  Yes, I can download once song at a time but why should even music I loaded from my css be hijacked by iCloud?  Any solution for this?  APPLE please find a way out of this dilemma.

    My experience was this:
    1) I had a collection of 3000 songs on my hard drive of my Windows computer. 
    2) I started a subscription to iTunes Match. 
    3) The Match service scanned my music collection, and as far as I can tell it uploaded a number of my songs to the service cloud.  (based on the cloud status indication in the iTunes GUI)
    4) But judging from the cloud icons none of the songs remained on my local hard drive.  For each of the 3000 songs the cloud-with-down-arrow icon indicated that the songs were only in the cloud, not on my PC. 
    5) I had evidence that the songs were not deleted from my PC, because the size of the iTunes library was the same and in the Windows file system I could still see the song titles, but as far as the iTunes GUI was concerned all the songs were in the cloud and not in the hard drive. 
    6) When I tried to play the songs, there was a startup delay, as if the song was being streamed from the cloud and not being played locally. 
    7) When I tried to play the songs without a WiFi connection they would not play. 
    8) I had to painfully download all 3000 songs one by one to restore them to the original state. 
    I'm left with a very bad taste about iTunes Match.  It's the worst experience I've had with any Apple product or service.  I'm seriously considering jumping ship from iTunes to some other music service, and I've been a loyal iTunes customer since it's inception.

  • How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?

    How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems:  1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize.  2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.

    If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
    The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer.

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.
