HT4914 What happens with my higher quality songs than itunes can offer?

I have songs higher than 256 kbps, some in mp3 320 kbps and other in ALAC format, what’s going to happen to these songs? Will I be downgraded to iTunes quality?

Nothing will happen to them.  Keep them backed up so that you will still have copies if your hard drive fails.
What has caused a lot of discussion, and may be the basis of your question, is the iTunes Match capability.  It is an optional feature, so it will not do anything unless you sign up for it.  If you do sign up for it, your MP3/320 and ALAC songs will be backed up as AAC/256 copies, which as you correctly note, is a downgrade to the audio quality.
For that reason, iTunes Match is not recommended for your situation.

  • What happens if I buy a song on itunes then later I purchase the album? I did this with a previous album but I am not sure if Itunes charged me for the song twice.

    I don't want to buy a song, if I will later buy the album.

  • ITunes no longer loads "checked" songs onto my iPhone 5.  It seem to be all or nothing or choose from the 4 categories.  What happened to "sync only checked songs?"

    In the case you aren't trolling, here's some alternative mapping services.
    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
    If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

    MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

    Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

  • HT4918 what happen with the documents in Idisk, how can i see them in iCloud?

    what happen with the documents that i have in my idisk?? how can i move them into icloud??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

  • Cloning Hdd to SSD boot drive and what happens with Music/Logic Plugins

    Hi, my computer is a mid-2012 Mac Pro 12 Core
    It's a great computer but I'm considering upgrading my main boot drive (WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD) to a 1tB Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (I'm using a sonnet tempo PCI card to mount an SSD that holds audio at the moment and will add another SSD for the boot drive I'm referring to) so I just had a question - if I clone the HDD to the new SSD, what happens with things like licenses for my audio plugins, such as Native Instruments Komplete, programs by IKMultemedia. programs that use an ILOK such as Steven Slate Plugins and also, WAVES plugins?  Will this info all carry across to the new SSD drive or do you think I'll need to reauthorise some things?  I have all the serials etc so this shouldn't be an issue, but just wondered.
    Any help would be appreciated as it feels like quite a big step in that it's my main system drive!
    Thanks in advance

    CCC is excellent. If it doesn't work then sure, just always have a safety net of your system that is untouched.
    Also, after a clean install, CLONE it!
    And then use Setup Assistant. Migration Assistant.
    Clone of the system can go on sparse disk images too so you don't have to partition (should have at least one though) and you can have clone from different stages and versions: 10.9.4, without Setup Assistant, migrated, full loaded with all your apps. Multiple versions.
    CCC is designed to make a working bootable copy of a system so you can move the system to another boot device like hdd and SSDs without the worry.
    But I think we were talking about a system that did not see a clean install of Mountain Lion or Mavericks so it is over due for one!

  • What happens if I want my songs after subscription finishes?

    Just wondering what happens if I stop my subscription to it can I have acess to my songs and pull them back?

    Hi,
    If you have the tracks on your hard drive, you will still be able to play. However if you have deleted tracks from your hard drive, you will not have access to matched or uploaded tracks. Purchased tracks will continue to be available to you provided you live in a region that permits redownloads.

  • What happens with bootcamp after ios update

    Hello,
    I am about to update from ios 10.7 to 10.8 (Mountain Lion). What happens with my (data on) bootcamp? Do I need to reinstall it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Marcel Rombeek

    iOS and Mac OS X are completely separate things, so I'm a bit confused. But assuming you're referring solely to updating Mac OS X, upgrading to Mountain Lion should not affect your Bootcamp partition in any way, though with Mountain Lion not yet released, we can't say with absolute certainty.
    Regards.

    Restore your library from an up to date backup.
    If you don't have a backup (which you really should), see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps necessary to restore your library within iTunes - this assumes that your media is all present on your computer, as it always should be.
    Otherwise, see tt2's notes on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
