I DONT UNDERSTAND ICLOUD I AM TRYING TO ADD SONGS I HAVE PURCHASED TO MY IPOD AND IT SHOWS THE CLOUD BY ALL THE SONGS HOW DO I ADD THEM FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY IPOD?

I am having trouble putting the songs i purchased onto my ipod shuffle help me someone please and i dont understand why i have a cloud by the songs

You add them from your computer by syncing with iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313.  The cloud symbol you see in Purchased list in the iTunes app on your iPod is to download them from the iTunes store if you ever need to, or don't have access to a computer to sync them to your iPod.  This feature is called "iTunes in the Cloud".

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

  • How can I move my iTunes movies from my computer to an external hard drive? After I copy them to the drive, do I just delete them from my computer? How will I be able to watch them again?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air (July 2013) with the latest Mavericks OS X. I also have the lastest version of iTunes.
    My computer has very little memory left, so I wanted to free some up. When I looked, movies were taking up a considerable amount of space. I want to move them from my computer, but still be able to watch them if I want to later. I haven't purchased an external drive yet, because I didn't know what size to get. I also have a lot of Photoshop files that are taking up a lot of memory, so I might put some of those on too. Would you recommend a 1 TB one or bigger?
    Can you take me through the exact process of moving my iTunes movies to the external drive? I understand where to find the files (My Name<Music<iTunes Media<Movies), but am stuck from there. Do I simply drag them to the external drive and then delete them? Will this delete them from my iTunes library? How will I go about watching them again? I assumed that I would just plug the external hard drive in, click in the movie and watch. Is it this simple? I only want to move my movies, otherwise I would follow tutorials for backing up the library. Once you back up the movies, can you delete them from your computer?
    Thanks,
    Molly

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • I lost my contacts - how to I restore them from my computer backup?

    I need to restore my contacts on my wife's iPhone. They mysteriously disappeared and I want to restore from her computer iTunes /backup - but when I plug the iPhone in - it begins to "backup". I'm afraid if I allow the "backup" to proceed it will wipe out the computer back-up and replace with her "empty" iPhone contacts.
    Can I simply "restore" the lost contacts from the computer?

    If you have them synced to a supported application on the computer. If the phone begins a backup as soon as you connect it, then you want to go into Settings in iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. From there, you can choose to either sync the contacts if you have them in Address Book, or Contacts, or Outlook, or restore them from iCloud, or if you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone to the last backup that had the contacts on it.

  • Downloaded new update to 3 G phone lost my photos how do I retrieve them from my computer on xp pro

    I just downloaded the latest 5 operating system to my 3 g phone and the photos did not sync from my computer on xp pro. What should I do

    The lastest operating system is iOS 5 which cannot be run on an iPhone 3G
    Read here >  what devices can upgrade to ios 5 « iosnova
    If you have problems with your iPhone you may need to restore.
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Erase All Content and Settings.
    Do not try restoring from a backup, restore as a new device.
    To see exactly which operating system is on the iPhone now connect it to your computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    Select the iPhone under Devices then select the Summary tab from the iTunes menu.
    The version number is noted there. 
    4.2.1 is the latest and AFAIK, that last update for an iPhone 3G.

  • While dowloading an update for a program, several other programs seem to have been downloaded as well. How do I remove them from my computer or Firefox?

    I have re-set Google as my search engine and home page, but "MySearchDial" is pre-written in the Google search bar when I open the Google homepage. This was one of the programs which was downloaded in addition to my selectred update.

    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders /
    installers will trick you into installing not only their program,
    '''''but other programs as well'''''.
    You have heard of the '''''fine print in shady contracts''''', right?
    Well, some installers you need to look at the '''''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using
    the '''''recommended''''' option. But if you use the '''''Manual Option Instead''''',
    you discover all kinds of stuff that '''''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''''.
    From now on, everyone needs to '''''Use The Manual Option''''' to put a stop to this.

  • Is there a way to add photos to the iPad without replacing the ones already loaded?  I am trying to add photos from a folder on a computer that does not contain the other iPad photos.

    Is there a way to ADD photos to my iPad without replacing the ones already there?  I am trying to add photos from a computer that does not contain photos already synced to the device.

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

    Then you're doing something wrong.  Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
    Did you check the purchase history?
