I have 4 ipods 4th gen and want to know if one program to purchase through apple to share the music I've purchased on all of them. Is it the icloud AND itunes match?

I have 4 ipods all 4th gen and want to know if one program is available to purchase through apple to have all music I've purchased can be used on all of them. Is it a combo of both itunes match and icloud?

You don't need iTunes Match to have your music in all your devices. iTunes Match is for getting music that you've purchased elsewhere into the cloud. All you need to do is set up each of your devices to your iTunes Store account. You can then download things you've purchased by going to the Purchased section. See:

    I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

  • I need to upgrade my operating system, Mac OS 10.7.5, and want to know which one to use.

    How can I upgrade my macbook pro Mac OS X 10.7.5?

    So that is what is listed as the OS X version your Mac is now running?
    If so then you have Lion. Again why do you think you need to upgrade? What did the store tell you that makes you think you need to upgrade? Are you having some type of incompatibility with some other Apple device?
    You can upgrade to Mt Lion for $20 or Mavericks for free if your Mac meant the system requirements for those other versions of OS X.
    But the real question is still why do you need to do this upgrade. There has to be an underlying reason for it.

  • IPod 4th gen unrecognized by Mac or PC, even after reset, restore, disk mod

    I recently purchased an iPod 4th gen from eBay. When it arrived, it was working perfectly. It came with music pre-loaded, some of which I liked, so I tried several programs to extract the music. I ended up using iPodDisk.app, but in the process of transferring and deleting music I somehow mucked up the iPod, because iTunes demanded that I restore it.
    Okay, fine. I restored it, only to discover that it required that I plug it into an AC adaptor to complete the restore! Fast-forward to today, when the adaptor arrived in the mail and I completed the restore. My iPod at first appeared to be back into prime condition.
    Then I plugged it into my Mac, and nothing happened. The iPod did not recognize that it was plugged in, and neither iTunes nor PathFinder recognized it. (I tried opening Finder, and it didn't recognize the iPod, either.) I then hooked it up to my Windows desktop; no dice. So I tried a reset; no change. I tried forcing it into Disk Mode, and had to deal with the "Okay to Disconnect" message of death for a while before I could reset it again. Now the iPod seems to be working fine, with the exception of its inability to interface with any computer!
    I'm thinking of ordering a new USB cable, as some of the casing on the iPod end has been stripped off, so perhaps the cable has been compromised. (Unfortunately I don't have another iPod to test it with.) Assuming the result is the same with another USB cable, what might the problem be, and how might I fix it?

    I solved it myself by dropping the iPod repeatedly, from a height of about 2 feet. I just hit it hard against a flat surface whenever the hard drive starts giving me the Click of Death. As crazy as this sounds, it's kept the thing running!

  • I have switched from using a PC to an iMac and want to know how to register Lightroom 5.7 for new Mac?

    I have switched from using a PC to an iMac and want to know how to register Lightroom 5.7 for new Mac?

    Are you on CC or standalone perpetual licence?
    If the former I believe you merely download LR from the CC site onto your iMac and log in and off you go.
    If the latter, download LR onto your Mac from the perpetual licence site (not the CC version), install it and use the same licence number as with your PC.

  • TS1814 I have a 4th gen. IPod Touch with IOS4 and i want to update it, but when I hit the Update button its says "contacting the IPod software server" and then after about 5 seconds it says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software servers". Please h

    I have a 4th gen. Itouch wiht IOS4 and i want to update it, but when i click the update button in ITunes it says "contacting IPod software server" and it looks like it is loading. However, after about 5 seconds it stops and says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software server". I found the apple webpage that is supposed to help me, but when i went to the LAN settings in the control panel i found that 'Automatically detect settings" was already checked. I do not know what to do, Please help.

    If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Try:                  
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas?

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • I have a iphone4s and an ipod 4th gen, they both share same itunes acc, the ipod has its own email but when people try to FT it also rings on my phone, how do i stop it ringing both devices

    i have a iphone4s and an ipod 4th gen, they both share same itunes acc, the ipod has its own email but when people try to FT it also rings on my phone, how do i stop it ringing both devices

    That's because you're using the same Apple ID on both devices. On your phone: Settings>FaceTime>You Can Be Reached at>Remove your Apple ID.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing!                                                       I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

  • I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
