HT4914 once subscribed, does the main computer with library always need to be on in order for other devices to work?

I am trying to figure out if iMatch is right for my family.  We have 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, an iPod Touch, and a few PCs.  One PC has our music library on it in iTunes.  We want to all share from the library with our own separate devices.  If we subscribe to iMatch, does everyone need to use the same ID to access the library? Does the main PC with library need to remain on constantly for other devices to gain access? And my daughter has the iPod and we would like to control the content she is able to access, is this possible with iMatch?  Thanks

You will all need to use the same id that you subscribe to iTunes Match with (that will need to be the account that is signed into on the devices/computers that you want to access the music from), but your computer doesn't need to remain on - when you subscribe your library is uploaded from that computer to the cloud, so it only needs to be 'on' then, when it's finished uploading it will be accessible from the cloud on your devices/computers via your internet connection.

  • MPB Early 2011 replaced HDD. I need to purchase Lion in order for my recovery to work. Lion is not listed in the app store or my purchases.

    Where can I purchase a license of lion. My MBP didn't come with any disks (open box). I have purchased Mountain Lion and can't get it's download to work either.  I get "This download is currupt or has been tampered with". When I boot into recovery I have the option to install Lion but don't have it in my purchases. I just want to purchase it, unless other have a better idea.

    I can imagine your frustration.  I just checked the App store and I can find Mt. Lion (10.8) but not Lion (10.7). 
    I can see only two options:  One, is to call again and be very persistent.  I got the Lion download only via a redemption code from Apple support, so I have been through this process, except I did not hit the brick wall that you have.  Second, if you have an Apple store near by, visit it, and explain to them your problem and get relief that way.  Often face to face encounters are more effective.

    Can not access a website but everyone else is doing well and the old computer with the same internet coming in on that side. side is www.miun.se

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

    I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • Could not find the main class (with every jar)

    This isn't a developer question. I get the error Could not find the main class with every jar I try to open (for example the jar downloaded from https://gjar.dev.java.net/ gives the same problems - and I don't think there is something wrong with that JAR). It isn't a problem with the jar or MANIFEST because the same jar works fine on my laptop. So there is something wrong with my JRE installation, but what?
    I tried to remove and reinstall the JRE 6 Update 18 but that didn't work. When I run the JAR with command line java -jar "file.jar" it works fine, but if I dubbelclick on it I get the error message (and it's irritating me).
    I'm a bit desperate so I hope that someone here can help me ;)
    Thanks in advanced

  • What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
    text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it  + also
    supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
    •About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
    { did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
    You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?

    Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
    That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
    Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
    Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!

  • How to make my display be the main view with my mac Book Pro

    How to set up my external display automatically work as the main display when plugged into my MacBook Pro. I had it set up to work this way on my old MBP but I got a new MBP with Mountian Lion and the Display set up seen different and I can figure out how to make my Apple HD display (about 3 years old) be the main display when I turn on my MBP. Mirror is off when I look at
    System pref’s – Display – Arrangement I just get to pick which display is left and right. I cant remember how it was set up on my old MBP. Mirroring does me no good. Any help will do!!!
    Thanks Brad

    Drag the menu bar in the picture to the picture of the other display.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    What happens when you try to redownload it ? What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes - does that album show there ? If music shows there but not that album then is it hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

    I currently have a PC with Windows Outlook.  If I add an iPad to the mix, how does the iPad interface with Windows Outlook?

    Isn't Outlook simply an email client or a software application on a computer? You can add an email account - whatever email provider that you use - right on the iPad. You can sync your Outlook contacts and calendar if that is what you are asking about, but Outlook itself has nothing to do with the iPad.

  • What does the faded music with a dotted circle beside it mean in the on this iPhone tab

    what does the faded music with a dotted circle beside it mean in the "on this iPhone" tab on itunes? Some even shw up twice, others once.

    Hi sjchr,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The red square with a red circle around it is a symbol for a download in progress.
    Songs that have a cloud symbol beside them have been purchased, but don't reside on your device.
    When you click on the cloud icon, the song will be downloaded to the device, and you see a red square with a circle moving around.  If you wanted to stop the download, you would tap on the red square.
    Sometimes there may be an issue with the download, or the file may be corrupt.
    If the song is not playing correctly, the first thing I would suggest is to restart / reset your device:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists, you may need to redownload the song. 
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer.  Has anyone done this?  What is your experience and recommendations?

    We have a 2009 MBP, 2010 MBP, 2011 MBA, an IPAD 2, and several ipods.  Currently, my 2009 MBP is the main computer, holding all the music and pictures.  This has used up the majority of the available storage and definitely slows it down some.  I do back up the full computer to a backup drive and also remove the large movie files to another external drive.  I'm thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer.  Has anyone done this?  What is your experience and recommendations?
    I look forward to all responses.
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Thanks for your response.  I look forward to hopefully learning something new here.
    A good share of my music was added via my CDs, but now everything is added via itunes and occasionally amazon.  Almost all my pictures and video are added through my cameras via iphoto although I have added some with the 'add image to iphoto library' function also.
