  • How can i download a specific back up from icloud?

    How can i download a specific back up from icloud? i want to download a backup that i back up 3 months ago. settings>icloud>storage&backup>manage storage and there i can see the back up that i want to download. but i dont know how to do it. i mean i dont want the back up that i downloaded last. i want to download the back up that i back up 3 months ago.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on your device and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  You will be shown a list of available backups and asked which backup you want to restore from (see image below).  Choose the older backup, if listed.  (Note: you may have to tap Show Older Backups in order to see it.)

  • My ipod touch is unable to download songs off itunes or from icloud ...what do I do?

    ever since I got the new update (which actually restored my Ipod losing all my pictures)  I have not been able to sync my songs from itunes or even purchased songs from icloud. If I cannot fix my Ipod  I dont know what I'm going to do with all the songs I have purchased from itunes.

    A restore has nothing to do with pressing or holding any buttons on the device.
    A reset is holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If the backup completed successfully, a restore will put it back exactly as it was.
    Although, any semi-intelligent person would be regularly importing the pictures from their device to their computer.  Relying on a single device like a phone that can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair is extremely unintelligent.

  • HT204406 How to download songs to my ipad from icloud after I signed up for itunes match???

    I signed up for itunes match on the promise that I would have access to all my music and could download to my devices.  But now that they've hooked me for the $24.99, there doesn't seem to be a way to download the music to my ipad (IOS 6).  What am I missing?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Tap the song you wish to download.

  • HT1577 hey can we download songs from other websites on mac n thn load it onto iphone?

    hii, i had songs loaded onto my pendrive which were downloaded from various websites & some were even sent through bluetooth..... i bought an Iphone 4S, then loaded all those songs to it, gradually all songs were deleted by itself. This is my first query.
    secondly, can we download songs on to mac from websites other than itunes?

    if there is virus wont it affect the iphone & macbook ?
    You are right to be concerned, since many sites that purport to be sources of free MP3s are just scams and will download crap.  However, if you stick to legitimate music download retailers and/or legitimate sources of free tracks, you will not have a problem.

  • Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

    Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
    So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from  itunes from one computer and save to another with the  same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song  purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
    Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
    Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
    Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
    But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement.  Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
    I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

  • Can't download songs and credit card issue

    I called Apple support and they brushed me off on this issue which I have seen on MacWorld. I can't download my purchases via either Itouch, Itunes for Mac or Itunes for Windows. AND then I get a message that I need to verify my credit card and I get a message that it was decline. Yet in Purchase history it shows. And earlier I used same card to purchase ILife.
    Bank says card is OK.
    Made other purchases.....
    So, Apple what gives?
    As a customer and someone who gives you credit info, I feel we deserve answers?
    This is from MacWorld Discussion Board:
    ..."I hope this is an appropriate topic to post here, but I and it seems many other people are trying to get visibility (and help!) for an iTunes issue that does not yet seem to have been picked up on.
    A lot of people are encountering a problem that previously valid billing methods are being declined by the iTunes store and/or billing verification is requested but is not able to be processed by the store.

    Piecing together what little that Apple has shared with some complaining customers, it seems that they have instituted some new security measures that have locked many people out of their accounts and, with a few exceptions, Apple seems unable to reset the accounts. In many cases they are trying to blame the credit card company. They have told me in several responses to support emails that the problem is with my credit card. I have checked with my credit card company and they have received the verification request from Apple and have authorized it -- over 30 times!!!! There are no blocks or flags on my credit card account.
    I have tried three other credit cards and get the same error message.
    I have even tried selecting the 'none' option under payment information in my iTunes account and I still get the same error message -- the problem cannot be with a credit card if I specify 'none'...
    It would be helpful if anyone can offer any advice to resolve the issue, but I am also hoping that someone from Macworld may read this, do some investigating and start giving this issue some 'public domain' visibility. The end goal being to get Apple to take some ownership of the issue. "

    Can't download songs
    Go try another online music download retailer, such as Amazon.com.
    You can buy MP3s from any source, and add them to your iTunes library. If one store is too much trouble, try another.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Whilst you want seperate accounts, I assume this is to keep your contacts etc seperate, you can still both use the same iTunes account, which will allow you to share your music etc.

    Hi gene98,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.
    Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account

  • Can I download songs from iTunes used for my 80GB to a shuffle?

    I want to know if I buy a shuffle can I download songs from my iTunes for my 80GB iPod? Will it mess anything up trying to download to the two separate devices? Also, can I upload my playlist from my 80GB iPod to another computer and then download from that computer to a shuffle?
    Thanks,
    tim

    In the simplest terms, one PC/Mac, many iPods.
    Many PCs/Macs, then you must use manual mode.
    The exception being the Shuffles. They only work with one machine at a time.

    Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
    (Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

    You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

    I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that

    Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

    If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.

  • Can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums

    can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums in mp3.

    Sorry, but music tracks and other media contact are not available in Israel via an iTunes Store at this time. None of us here can say when Apple will be able to obtain the necessary licenses and feel it worthwhile to set up an iTunes Store for your country.
