HT4914 If I was to stop my iTunes Match account does the music I had on my 2 computers iPad and iPhone return to each one of them . I hope I don't loose my music. I shouldn't have to download my own music

Do I use my data when using iTunes Match ? Do I have to be on line when using it? Or is it free to access my music as it was before I when it was on my products. ? ( other then the annual fee of course)

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

Can I have iTunes Match recognize that the Music is on my Hard Drive?

My PC (Windows 8.1) computer hard drive crashed. My old computer was using an iTunes media file on an external hard drive so I still have that, but I also subscribe to iTunes Match. After replacing my old internal hard drive, I went to set up iTunes, and I changed the iTunes media folder location so it would use the one on my external hard drive. However, once I turned on iTunes Match, all of the music still shows up as being in the Cloud. I can't figure out how to have it recognize that my music is already on that external hard drive. It just wants me to download everything from the Cloud. I have tons of music, and it would take days to download everything. Is there a way to associate it with my previous library on the external hard drive?

CHRISRMOR: With iTunes match, as long as you uploaded all of your songs to begin with, the music should be there when you open a new iTunes on your new hard drive. You will just have to download it all from the cloud. If you use iTunes match on other devices, you can download any or all of your songs from the cloud too. So to answer your question, yes, you are correct. When you download iTunes onto your new hard drive, authorize the computer and turn on iTunes Match and update it, then all of your songs should be there. There is a symbol of a cloud with an arrow pointing downward that will show that it is in the cloud. If you right-click on that symbol you can download an individual song. Or if you select all or a group of songs, you can download all of them with a right-click.

Should Itunes Match be deleting the music on my iphone and IPAD

Still trying to get this figured out. I'm almost certain that yesterday, when I first did Itunes Match, that all the music that was already on the Iphone and Ipad was not deleted (despite the warning to the contrary) when I toggled the Itunes Match switch on both.
I'm almost certain that yesterday, even after turning Itunes Match had been turned on, the music was not deleted and as new songs were added (ie CDs ripped)they showed up on both devices with the cloud Icon.
That is consistent with what I read here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1163607/toggle_between_itunes_match_and_local_sy ncing.html
However, today, I re-downloaded some music after getting the higher quality versions with Itunes on my Mac. I turned Itunes Match off on both my Iphone and IPad, thinking I would do a quick manual sync to the Mac, get all the songs put on each and then turn Itunes Match back on both.
I did so, but when I turned Itunes Match back on each, Itunes Match deleted all of my music, replacing all songs with the cloud icon now forcing me to redownload everything. That seems inconsistent with what happened yesterday and is also inconsistent with the article above which seems to indicate that Itunes Match should be smart enough to realize the songs it doesn't need to delete.
Is the above article and my experience wrong?
Thanks for the help!

What you are experiencing is normal. As soon as you turn on iTunes Match, it should wipe out all your songs that were manually put on your device and you will have to redownload. Its idiotic to me, but that is the way it is supposed to work. People have stated they sometimes fool the process, but it is supposed to remove them all.
Hope this helps. Down the road I wish they made it so you could do both, icloud and manual sync.

works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1). Try again. with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only. (you cannot get rid of the subject) with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

I recently bought a MacBook Air. I migrated the info from my old MacBook to the new Air. None of my contacts migrated. I still have them on my old Macbook, Ipad and iPhone. How do I get them to the new Air?

You can copy the iWeb application from the desktop machine to your new MBA. But if it's iWeb 2 it won't work with Mavericks or Mt. Lion. Also copy the Domain.sites file from the desktop to your MBA as that's the file with your webstite files in it.

By backing up the iTunes Library via saving the iTunes folder on an external drive, is it also backing up all iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from your devices?

If I backup my iTunes Library by saving the iTunes folder on an external hard drive using the instructions contained in the link below, will it also back up all my iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from my devices? In other words, will it also create backups for the backups? Thank you.
Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive
Furthermore, when it is time to restore the iTunes folder I copied to my external drive to a new iTunes program on my new computer, how will it merge the information once I plug in my iPad or iPhone to that new laptop to sync? If I did the iTunes library backup a couple months ago and I've added documents/music/pictures on my devices since then, what will happen when I try to sync it with the new laptop now working off of the iTunes library backup from a couple months ago since the information is no longer the same? Which information will dominate and thus be kept? Will it delete the new information/data/pictures/documents/music off of the devices since it is not on the iTunes program when it syncs?
Sorry for so many questions, but they are all related to backing up and restoring iTunes. I am not very tech savvy if you cannot tell

It would be a good idea to look into a bigger hard drive. They are not that expensive any more and can save a lot of headach. This is even more important if you are buying music from the iTunes music store. If you lost those files they are gone.
The point of having it on your PC and iPod is to have a backup. If the iPod fails, or you need to go back to the DVDs and find they are scratched, or just can not be read you have lost days of work converting and organizing all of those songs.
Or the iPod could hard drive could fail and then you will have to try to bring all of those files back from DVDs. You end up with a mess since some songs will probably be on multiple DVDs, have different names ect. Trying to reorganize it all can be a pain.

Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out. Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong. Did he call back? No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again! So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'. Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around. Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out. As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
So ...
- it was NOT my home network.
- it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
- Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
- non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

HT204406 Cannot sync iTunes match to my iPad, message says "not subscribed to iTunes match" even though I am an using it on my iMac,macbook and iPhone

I have tried everything I can think of, but to no avail, all my devices are set to the same apple ID, but the ipad will not let me use itunes match.
I have it working fine on all my other devices, any suggestions?

Hi,
You cannot subscribe to match on your ipad!! You can only subscribe to match from the itunes library on your computer.
When you subscribe, itunes match scans your computer to determine what can be Matched, Uploaded and Inelligible. It will also identify your itunes Purchases which don't count towards the 25K limit.
Once itunes completes its scan, you will be told how many tracks are in the cloud. Once this is done you can turn on Match on your Ipad and you will have access to all music that is matched, uploaded or purchased.

ITunes keeps crashing with latest update when I try to sync my iPad and iPhone. No issues syncing my ATV's. Any suggestions?

In fact, when I am in iTunes and click on either my iPad or IPhone it shows the sync options and ten within 10 or so seconds iTunes gets the "closed unexpectedly" error message. Very frustrating....updated to latest iTunes version yesterday, and this issue started today. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

If possible... you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x (which will Run iTunes Version 11)
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...

Why is not all of my library available on itunes match via the cloud yet it appears on both my ipad and iphone library, Why is not all of my library available on itunes match via the cloud yet it appears on both my ipad and iphone library

I have set up itunes match usiing my Windows laptop and synced my iphone 5 and ipad 3 with it, but quite a few songs (albums and songs within albums) haven't synced at all. Is this a known issue? Also when I try to update match it takes forever and often tells me that the internet connection has timed out, yet I'm still surfing on other devices etc...

Hi Michael
It's not through USB - I know that that is disabled when Match is enabled. An example might deonstrate the issue better:
I can see Alabama Shakes listed in my artists view on my phone/pad library, but when I open it the songs are all greyed out and won't play. Their is no cloud symbol either. On my laptop, the songs are their and play fine, but have a cloud symbol next to them...
What do you reckon?

I have lost all of my calendar entries on both iPad and iPhone. Any way to get them back?

I cannot find any of my past calendar entries. This is the only calendar I use and need those entries. I have NOT updated to os7. I DO back up to iCloud every night.....HELP!

Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes every once in a while? If yes, there are chances that iTunes has taken last backup of your photos, contacts, etc. that you want back.
Connect your iPhone with your PC. launch iTunes, right click on your device and click on "Restore from Backup". Choose the latest backup to proceed.
If you configured iCloud for backup before you restored your iPhone. Go to Settings -> iCloud - > and login using your Apple ID. Once you've logged in, all the photos, contacts, mail, messages should be back on your iPhone. This may take a while (depending on your network).
Alternatively, if you are only now setting up your iPhone, choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the setup screen. Login with Apple ID and the iPhone will be restored from the latest iCloud backup.

I made an In-app purchase of WORDsearch Bible, Thompson Chain Reference Library on March 18, 2013. I tried to download the purchased item on my iPad2 but was unsuccessful even though my account with iTunes stores was debited almost immediately I completed the purchase. What can I do to retrieve or download the item I purchased?

Suzie
I sympathise with you.
We are fellow users here, you must contact Apple or your credit card company to try to resolve this.
In your email invoice for the £69.99 there may be a Report a Problem link, but I've found they don't work as well as they used to.
Try:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Did you buy anything (free or otherwise) just before your son got hold of the iPad?
I've always found that if you've entered your password to purchase or update in the last 5-10 mins that you don't get asked for it again - I think this should be optional for app store purchases but definitely for in-app purchases if they allow kids to rack up extortionate costs.
I hope Apple can do the right thing for you.
£69.99 is a ridiculous in-app purchase cost. Do you know what the app was?
