HT4914 Songs to the cloud from iPhone?

How to I move a song to the cloud and get it off my phone to free up space? Before I upgraded I could just swipe and have the option.

You would have to download the song from the cloud to the iphone, then you could listen to it.

Access songs in the cloud from iPhone car accessory

I have an iPhone 4 that connects to my Subaru factory head unit using a USB cable. The head unit allows me to navigate my existing ipod's library without any issues. But when I connect my iPhone, the head unit can only access songs that have been downloaded to my phone via itunes match. I want my accessory (my car's headunit) to have access to the entire library, including songs in the cloud.
Has anyone else had this issue? Please help!
As a side note - it makes no sense to me that ios devices with limited strorage capacity are required to download from the cloud while computers, with much greater storage capacity than ios portable devices, are able to stream. Any input on that and/or some work arounds would be great.
Thanks much.

I'm having that same issue and have not been able to figure out how to make it work. I simply think it isn't supported at this time.
I attach and iPod right now to my car's head unit, but would like to attach my iPhone and use iTunes match so I have access to my entire library. But it will only play songs that are already physically on the phone.

How do I put my music in the cloud from iphone

You can't upload your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) to the cloud on your phone, you can only do that via your computer's iTunes (and if you've subscribed to iTunes Match).
For iTunes store purchases you can delete it from the Music app (e.g. by swiping/dragging from right-to-left across it in the app), but whether it will then show in the cloud for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in, if it's still in the store, and if you've moved countries since buying it. If you've subscribed to iTunes Match and it's been matched, it should show in the cloud.

Browsing iPhoto library (stored in the cloud) from iPhone

Dear Apple community geeks,
Can you please suggest the best solution for the below:
I have my iPhoto library stored in the cloud (CrashPlan) and a personal NAS (Synology).
I'd like to view pictures of this library from my iPhone without losing the library structure (Projects, Albums..).
So far, browsing via available apps, I'm only left with the classical "folder structure" of the iPhoto library (as if I'd "show package contents").
Any good option with my current set-up? If not, would (at least) iCloud make this possible?
Many thanks!
Petr

I have taken off the unwanted apps from iTunes but they still show on my iPhone. Go to App Store > Updates > Purchased > and the unwanted Apps are under both "All" and "Not on this Iphone" tabs. There is a little cloud with a down arrow so I can redownlaod it to my phone but, I want to remove some all together. It is hard to scroll thru all of them to find Apps that you may use on special occasion. Can I get rid of the in this location on my phone? And if so, How? Thanks

TS4124 Songs in the cloud

What does a down arrow in a grayed out cloud mean. My computer shows 9600 songs in the cloud, but iphone and ipad only show 3664 songs. the grayed out songs do not play.

1. iTunes Store purchases are available regardless of whether or not you sign up for iTunes Match. The iTunes Match benefits apply to content from other sources.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I have an iPhone 5. It says I have 537 songs on it but every song shows the cloud icon. I have gone through every suggested step I've googled and deleted songs but settings still shows them. When it's plugged into my mac itunes shows it only has 42 songs.

Hi ellafromva,
From your description, it sounds like you may have iTunes Match activated; you may find the following article helpful:

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store. For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them. Not sure about Apple TV. I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

So you purchased iTunes Match? Enable iTunes Match on your other device.
This is the only way to upload.

ITunes- Why won't half of my music library install? Why is my music corrupted? And where did all my songs in the cloud go?

Alright there are multiple aspects to this problem.
Back in February of 2013, I bought the album "Goodbye Lullaby (Deluxe Edition)" by Avril Lavigne. I have 12 albums that I have bought through iTunes throughout the years by her. I had an iPhone 4S and did not update to iOS 7 right away. Later in October I got the new iPhone 5S and already came pre-installed with iOS 7. Somehow, (and I don't know why or how to fix it) a bunch of my songs (again purchased through iTunes) in the cloud are either hidden or erased and I can't seem to download them. When I received my new phone, I downloaded all the songs that were in iCloud. However I noticed that a few were missing. Then a few weeks later I saw that a lot was missing. I had a total 1,497 songs in the cloud, and now it has been reduced to 701 songs. That's about half of the songs that I have spent from $.99-$1.29 on music through itunes since 2004.
Fast forward to November 5. Avril Lavigne (big fan) released her new album. I pre-ordered it back in Septemeber. Normally the day an album is released I go to the album and pressed the cloud with the down arrow. No problem. However when I went to download this album, all it said was that I purchased it- no cloud with arrow, no nothing. I figured that it was in the cloud so I check under the purchase category in the iTunes App on my iPhone 5S. Again, no luck. Somehow when I logged on to my MacBook it downloaded a copy of the record on the computer. (That's fine. As long as I have the music...)
Then another problem springed up. I saw that Goodbye Lullaby was no longer on my phone, however it was in my iTunes library. I tried removing all of my music off the phone. Then ANOTHER problem came up. I unchecked the box saying "Sync Music" on my phone, and pressed sync. Then for some reason it automatically checked Sync Music, and all the playlists on my computer. I did this process multiple times. I updated iTunes, I reinstalled it. Restarted the computer- Nothing. So not only half of my songs are gone from iCloud, my music that is on iTunes is NOT syncing into my phone. Plus I can't take the music off my phone without iTunes checking the Sync Music boxes again.
the 3rd (and last) problem I have is that the music that did install in the sync became corrupted. So when I went to play them, the Music app would skip over them and then delete them instantly. One full album I had just went in a loop and changed songs lightning fast and then when I exited the album, it was delete.
Please let me know if anyone else has any/all of these problems. I will call Apple to straighten all of this out- and I might have to schedule an appt. at the Genius Bar at the retail store (which is an hour away so if I can get this problem solved here or over the phone that would be great)
Thanks
Duncan.

one last thing: I'm also getting this problem here too:

HT204053 Can't access my songs on the cloud

My wife and daughter share a computer and each signs on to their own user account. EMy wife and daughter both have an iPhone and seperate Apple IDs. I signed up my wife for the iTunes Match service and backed everything up. It took a long time, she had a lot of songs. Now when we try to log onto iTunes Match, I keep getting the menu asking me to sign up for it. After a few tries I decided to sign up again (its only $25 and not worth this aggravation) only I get an error message this computer is already associated with another iTunes account and I won't be able to automatically download from any other account for 90 days. ***? I try to access Itunes cloud from iphone and computer and neither shows any of the music that is supposed to be up there. It's like it all vanished. Anybody else have this happen? How do you fix it?

Try going to Store>Sign Out in iTunes, the sign in again (Store>Sign In) with the ID associated with your iTunes Match account. Then go to Store>Turn on iTunes Match, then click Add this Computer when prompted.

Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen).
Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song. If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song. Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput.
It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device.
Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance".

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

HT201269 Will my photos transfer from iphone 4 to 4s if I restore the 4s from iPhone 4 back up on iTunes?

Will my photos that I took with iPhone 4 transfer from iphone 4 to 4s if I restore the 4s from iPhone 4 back up on iTunes?

Do a backup of your 4, either to the cloud or your computer, depending on how you usually do this.
If you backed up your 4 to the computer, connect the new phone to the computer at this point, if you restored it to the cloud, do NOT connect it to the computer (or you might get an old backup by mistake). Just connect it to a charger.
When you first power up your new phone, it will ask you whether you want do configure it as a new phone or to restore it from a backup. Select "from a backup". The prodedure is slightly different for computer and iCloud backups, but you'll be able to figure it out.
This will restore all your apps, settings, and camera roll. Then you can either sync it to the computer or redownload your music and movies (depending on how you manage these things).
Once this is done, you can delete everything you don't want from the old phone.

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

HI,
Have you done this before ? And if so, is photo stream turned on on your iphone and ipad. and as Alfred DeRose pointed out they must both on the same icloud account.
If you're new to this, you might want to do some research. Photo stream is different from camera roll and albums. Many have been on this sight looking for their photos stored in icloud after restore, etc. and they're not there. Also, after thirty days icloud deletes your photos from photo stream.
So if you're not aware, you might want to google your question. We're using the camera connection kit soon and I am learning about it. From all I've read, I'm also not the biggest icloud fan. I use dropbox. We plan to put photos taken on ipad with a camera/iphones into albums on the ipad. We'll keep all on the sd card until (and after) they can be uploaded to a computer.
An example of an article we can learn from -

Hope this helps.
