HT4915 I'm using iTunes Match and cloud to save space on my iPad. It is now full and it is mostly music data that is filling it. What can I do to free up space?

What can I do to free up space? Is this Match saving songs I've listened to on this device? Can I just delete the music data?

Yes. It will save songs as they're played. At some point, older songs will start being removed to make room for new ones as they're played. Exactly when this happens isn't documented. If you want to free up the space now, you can delete all the music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

Once the iDVD is burned, what can I delete to free up space without compromising the integrity of the dvd

Once the iDVD is burned, what can I delete to free up space? I tried deleting the iMovie events and projects, but then the iDVD would no longer play because it said the movie contents or link was not available. I was under the impression that once I saved the iDVD that the associated video was saved in that file, not a link to an iMovie event and project. Can somebody help? Now I have to find the original footage, re-edit it in iMovie, and start the whole iDVD process over because I deleted the iMovie project and events.

Hmmm, did you actually burn a DVD from the project?

I am still not able to use itunes match or cloud between my ipad and macbook air

I wonder if the problem of not beig alble to use itunes match between my ipad and my Macbook air is because i have the two set up on different email addresses so that I can use facetime between the two devices,if so how do I remedy that? I also have two seperate Apple itunes accounts for the two,would they both have to be on the same account?

Yes, I am connected to the internet. I am getting my mobile me account email but nothing from my exchange server account, however when I try to reply to a message it gets stuck in my outbox. When I click on Get Mail and send nothing happens. Usually I see the spinning wheel but nothing now. There are several messages in my out box from both the exchange and mobile me accounts. Thanks

I moved my iTunes Library and now the first track of most CDs is missing. Why? What can I do?

I have moved my iTunes library several times. Sometimes to free up space on the main drive, I have moved the library to an external drive. I have also moved the library when changing drives and changing computers. I find that most of the CDs I have imported into iTunes in the past are now missing the first track. It shows the sign, but I haven't been able to locate them. In many cases, I have given the CDs themselves away and so I have no easy way of re-importing the tracks. Why does iTunes do this? Is there something I can do in the future to prevent this from happening? It gets rather tedious to go through hundreds of CD and locate a single track for each one after upgrading a drive or the computer. HELP?

What process did you use for moving the library?
I have noticed iTunes on rare occasions loses files. Don't know why. Keep back ups. Before updating a backup run a script such as Dougscript List MIAs so you can make sure you aren't deleting your only copy should one get lost from your main drive.
You might want to note that it is a mistake giving away the CDs. When you no longer posess the CD you relinquish the right to keep a copy of the music. Also, as you are finding, you no longer have a backup source for the music.

Besides buying more storage what can I do to free up space to backup my device.

keep getting messages -out of iCloud storage can't back up phone. Don't to want to buy more storage-what else can I do?

Don't back up to iCloud.
Deselect items from backing up to iCloud. See this -> Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
Delete items on your iPhone.

Hi - I have a new mac book pro and I'm trying to install my PS (I bought the full program) - but it will only install it as a trail. what can I do?

How do I install on a 2nd laptop?

I'm having a similar problem, I have a creative cloud membership for six more months, my computer was set back to factory settings, and I am not seeing my purchases when logged into my adobe id just the free trial options.
The above advice was not helpful because it is not that there is an error with the program it is not being able to find the programs I purchased.

Duplicates. I use iTunes match. When I run exact duplicates, I get duplicates that say uploaded for one and uploaded with a cloud for the other. Which one do I delete?

Duplicates. I use iTunes match. Two questions:
When I run exact duplicates on the library on my Mac Air, I get duplicates that say uploaded for one and uploaded with a cloud for the other. Which one do I delete?
Some of the duplicates say matched and matched with a cloud. Same question - which one should I delete?

I'm not sure I understand the question.
First I would update your iTunes match. iTunes match will tell you what is duplicates and then you can just delete them from the library.
Second, the course in a situation like this is to delete ONE duplicate and see what happens. Make sure you have that song backed up somewhere just incase it deletes it completely. But usually I'd delete one and then see if it deletes both or just the one you pressed.
Thirdly, update iTunes match. It usually does a good job of locating actual duplicates.

Unable to use iTunes Match

Hello everybody! Being Italian I apologise in advance for my english, if something isn't clear feel free to ask!
Now, to the problem: since two days I'm unable to use iTunes Match at all.
In the past days I was organising my library in playlists, when yesterday I noticed that some songs weren't in the playlists they were supposed to be in. I noticed also that near the Music tab there wasn't the usual empty cloud icon, but instead there was a cloud with a lightning bolt in it.
I searched and discovered that I had a connection problem. I restarted my PC and my router, only to notice that everything was the same as before I restarted the PC. I then tried to click the cloud, it became filled with the usual "barbershop pole" pattern, and then it seemed to work. When I tried to put a song in a random playlist, again the lightning bolt.
I tried to turn off iTunes Match (both with or without the Shift key), I unauthorized the PC, I logged out of my account, but to no avail. The iTunes Match "Add this computer" procedure works fine, but afterwards I cannot update any of my playlists.
Thinking that all this could be Windows-related, I tried the same with my MacBook Pro, but everything wasn't working as well. I couldn't use iTunes Match on my iPhone and on my iPod touch either.
Yesterday night, at around 11.30PM GMT+1, everything seemed to work, but having to go to university the day after I turned off the PC and went to sleep, only to find out that today we're back to square one. Nothing works on any device, when I click the lightning bolt the cloud becomes empty, but when I do something on my playlists the bolt appears again. Having said that, I don't think I have a network problem. I can connect to the internet as usual, i can use the iTunes store and the App Store and (from time to time) I can even download songs from my iTunes Match on my main PC. The playlists changes and the whole music library still don't appear on the iPhone/iPod touch and the Mac though.
I just entered in the second year of subscription to iTunes Match. Almost no problems at all for more than a year, and less than two months after I paid for the second year all this happens... I'm not very happy. I just hope someone of you has an answer, because I searched in every corner of this community but I didn't find any solutions.
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Alessandro

Just to let everybody know, the problem disappeared totally on friday. Now everythiing works again, I lost nothing and I still can access all of my songs.
I waited a bit because you never count your chicken before they're hatched, but after three days I can cry "victory".
Thanks anyway to anybody who viewed my question and thought a possible solution for my problem!

Can we have genius mixes on our IOS5 device using iTunes match?

Can we have genius mixes on our IOS5 device using iTunes match?

Actually I was wrong ... I mistaked being able to say "play rock music" for genius.
You can't say "play similar songs" it will say genius is not available.
I don't understand why they would have disabled genius all together for itunes match?

I am using iTunes Match, and wish to restore from the cloud to itunes. Why do I have to select one at a time to download?

I am using iTunes Match, and had to restore all of my music (.3000 songs). Problem is, I don't see where can restore them all at once. I can do it for all purchased items from the Cloud, but not for songs/content that I added on my own from CD's. I have had to click the cloud icon for each song....really, my hand is about to cramp. Is there a restore all function for non-purchased songs? If not, it needs to be added to the Match software.
Thanks

Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud. Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

I want to use iTunes Match but want to make make sure music will be downloaded from my iPhone (which has all my music) and not just my MacBook to the cloud.

Hi,
All your music need to be in your iTunes library on your computer. You will need to copy your music from your iPhone to your computer.

HT4759 I'd bought cloud and I am looking to see how it works and still don't know. So can somebody tell me how it works, and why does money keep disappearing from my account. I didn't used iTunes match, and and copied everything I had in iTunes and am now

1) How do I use Cloud? I mistakingly use itune match and made copy of all I already had in tunes! 2) how do I get rid of all the copys? 3)how do I get the money that keeps disappars from my account?

I got into a similar situation last night trying to enable wireless on my already configured wired my Time Capsule. It was getting the same or very similar 169.xxx IP address for itself.
I found that I had to change ( I suspect it was restore my previous setting ) the Configure IPv4 item under the Internet Tab in manual setup of the Airport Utility.
It appeared a "manually" and I changed it (back?) to "Using DHCP".
That combined with Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) lets the upstream router that connects directly to my Cable modem be the DHCP server for the entire network.
As everything had worked fine for weeks until I enabled wireless it seems that the Configure Ipv4 parameter was reset either by me mistakenly or by the updating o f the changed settings. Frankly I' quite sure I didn't change it accidentally (famous last words)
Other combinations may aslo work, but this works for me.

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

What's the best way to use iTunes match with 4 iPhones and an ipad2

Currently have iPhone 4 (2), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G (used as touch-no sim), and iPad 2. We use one apple id to purchase with. We use a windows 7 pc and iTunes 10.5.....latest ver. My questions are kinda multi faceted, but I'm thinking iTunes match can help. Ok....
Is iTunes match cloud space the same as iCloud space?
I have ~15000 mp3's. I'd like to use iTunes match to "clean up" my library. So, once I get my matched tunes up there will all my devices see that library?
What about playlists? Do they just stay the same and locally reside on iDevices?
I don't have a Mac yet, well I don't have a new one. I currently have a iBook g4 1.0 ghz with 1.25mb ram and osx 10.5 on it. I would like to move all my music to a 1tb nas drive that I have.....iTunes does see it. Then do all my iTuning from that machine for the next couple of months until I save more money and by an iMac.
However, it seems as though this ITunes might be able to this better.......
I'm terribly confused...I have 10+ years in IT, albeit mostly all PC. That being said, I am ready to switch, I just feel like I'm so deep into a mess it seems impossible to do any of this cleanly.
Thank you,

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.
