I cant play any songs from icloud on my iTunes. they are all grayed out

when i try to get my music in my itunes, it is all in the icloud and they are grayed out and there is not an option for me to download them. what am i missing?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

  • Cant  play  any  videos  from  you  tube  and  dailymotion

    hello  i  have  upgraded  from  win  to  windows  8 pro  x64.i  have  the  next  problem:i  cant play  any  video  from  you   tube  and  dailymotion  with  IE  10,with   firefox  i  have  not  any  problem.what  can  i do?

    Have you been able to successfully import these videos into iTunes?  If so, use iTunes built in converter to convert it to a more iTunes friendly format. To do this, highligh the video and choose "Create iPhone or iPod version" from the Advanced drop down menu in iTunes.
    When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your Nano.

  • How to stop photos opening in preview. I have always edited photos right from my desktop and now they are all opening in preview.

    I have always edited photos right from my desktop and now they are all opening in preview. How do I change it back? Thanks!

    They open in Preview by default.
    However, if you open Picture Folder in Preview, navigate to any photo ( without opening it ) then right click on the photo and select Get Info from the dropdown menu.
    About  2/3rds' of the way down on the Get Info tab you'll see a Marker ' Open WIth '. Enter whichever editing program you're using.
    Whenever you open a photo from whatever it's location it will open in the chosen editing program.
    Hope this helps.

    Try using a different browser. If it works, then the problem is most likely Safari. If the other browser doesn't work, perhaps it is the web site.

  • HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • TS4036 i cant get any photos from icloud on my new phone, how can i retrieve them?

    i am unable to retrieve any photos from icloud on my new phone even though i had back up. All of my contacts have downloaded. Could anyone be of some help please thank you

    OP you need to be more specific.  ARE you saying that they did not restore from your icloud backup? Or are you saying that they didn't show up under your photostream?
    If its the 2nd one, because photos are only available to other devices in your photostream for 30 days. Beyond that, they only show on the original device.  To get around this, you can, on the original device, share them all to a shared photostream, inviting only yourself to share the photostream and them you'll be able to access them on the new device.  Fair warning, sharing them to the shared photostream can take some time so don't delete them till they all show up.

  • Transferred Itunes to New Computer but Now cant play any songs?

    Can anybody help? I transfered my itunes library using the ipod as a hard drive to my new computer. Great! Everything is there, playlists still the same etc! Just when I thought "wow that was easy" I tried to play a song from new computer and it came up with a message about how the original file/format is not on that computer so it couldnt play it? Im not sure what to do now?
    If you do what itunes suggest and download your entire library to CD etc this will take forever not to mention the amount of CDs! I think this is a stupid suggestion as well because you might as well go through all your actual CDS and just upload them again to your new computer. Surely there must be a cable or something I could use?

    I followed the instructions on how to move your library to a new computer.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    I followed the instuctions which said to locate my itunes folder and the drag the folder from my docs over to my ipod which was shown in my computer/external devices. This took some time.
    I then downloaded itunes onto my new computer and plugged the ipod into my new computer. I dragged the itunes library file from the ipod (which was a large file so definately the one that had all the songs it) It took about 20/30 minutes to transfer all the songs from the ipod onto the itunes library on my new computer. Everything looked fine and then I tried to click on a song and it told me "The song could not be be used because the orignal file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Having said yes to locating the file it brings up my folder options... I select the itunes library once again because this is where it would be located but then nothing happens?

  • On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

    I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can.

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • Why can i not play a song from icloud?

    I uploaded a song (not a commercial song - one a friend had performed) to itunes last year, and it worked well.  I uploaded it to icloud and then bought a macbook pro.  I did not transfer the itunes files from my old computer to my new computer.  I just went to play the song (actually, the album) and while it appears in icloud on my iphone and my itunes library on my macbook, I cannot download it.  It's not grey - it just won't download or play.  Any ideas what to do?  Had my song been lost in the icloud?

  • Cannot play/download songs from iCloud to iTunes

    I just purchased a new MacBook. When I sign into iTunes with my apple id, all of my songs appear, however I am not able to play them or download them from iCloud. The iCloud icons and all text are all light gray, as opposed to their usual bold gray color.
    Thanks.

    in case anyone else has this problem I wanted to update with the solution. For clarity, this problem had nothing to do with iTunes Match. I just was unable to play or download any music. All I did was quit iTunes and Restart my computer and then all of my music was there and all is working fine.

  • My iPod touch playlists only show up on iTunes under devices and not on the iTouch itself.  On iTunes, I cannot play my songs from the iTouch on iTunes.  Any ideas?

    Suddenly in the last 10 days, my iPod Touch playlists don't show up on the iPod unless plugged into iTunes and only under the device section of iTunes. When I try to play a song on my iPod a different song from the library comes up and plays.  Lastly, when I try to play the songs in the iPod library on iTunes when plugged into the computer, an exclamation mark appears to the left of the song title and will not play.  Any ideas?

    Put the device in DFU mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
