I have an iPhone 5. It says I have 537 songs on it but every song shows the cloud icon. I have gone through every suggested step I've googled and deleted songs but settings still shows them. When it's plugged into my mac itunes shows it only has 42 songs.

Hi ellafromva,
From your description, it sounds like you may have iTunes Match activated; you may find the following article helpful:

  • HT1267 iphone only showing the apple icon I have done the home button with the sleep to restart it but it's not doing anything

    can't locate the serial number the phone only shows the apple icon I charged it. I will only show the apple icon?

    If you decide that you want to Restore the iPhone Firmware then. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button for about another 20 seconds, until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. If the iPhone screen is black this is good. Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you get Recovery Mode but the iPhone shows the iTunes screen you can try to Restore, but if it fails, do the instructions again until you get Recovery Mode with black iPhone screen.

  • My ipad wont wake up?  When I plug into my mac it shows 100% battery and all my app's? What is going on.

    My ipad all of a sudden won't wake up?  I plugged it into my mac desktop and it shows it as if it is awake, all my programs are intact, it updated and sinc'd, but no response when not plugged in.  How do I wake it up? Do I need to reset it or something or is there a light in it that can be replaced?  No idea what is going on.  No damage or drop has occurred.

    Try the additional infomation section to hard reset the device and see if this resolves it.

  • It says not charging when it is plugged into my mac desktop

    My Ipad 2 says not charging when it is plugged into my computer and it does not show up on the side bar in the itunes app.

    It is possible that the USB port is not working properly as well. This support article might be of help.

    Sometimes all it takes is a restart - quit iTunes, restart your Mac and restart your iPad and see if that helps at all.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • "Charging not supported with this accessory" when it's plugged into my Mac?

    I'm starting to get extremely upset with my iPod touch 2nd Generation 64GB. I've had it just over a month now and every time I plug it into my Macbook it will charge for a few minutes, and then if I move the iPod for any reason it says "Charging is not supported with this accessory" and stops charging. My Macbook is always plugged into its charger so there shouldn't be an issue with that. I've tried the charging cord that came with the iPod, and several other charging cords from previous iPods, but still I get the same result. Could it be that the USB ports on my Macbook are going bad? I've had it since 2006 so I don't know what to do.

    Checked, nothing there, didn't resolve the issue. Bought a new USB connector and haven't had the problem since. Apparently the ones I had, even the one that came with the iPod all went bad somehow. Thanks though!

  • My iphone will not get off the apple logo screen. it also will not let me reset it and won't restore when plugged into my mac. what should i do?

    It also doesn't do anything when plugged into my mac,
    itunes will not recognize it at all.
    what should i do?
    thank you !

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • My Ipad device is only showing the apple icon nothing else is happening..what's wrong

    How do I get my screen to come back on, it is only showing the apple icon.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

    Hey Hey! 
    Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
    I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
    How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space. 
    Thanks!

    Deborah,
    You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes.  The syncing process is only one way.  However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder.  From there you can copy them back over to your PC. 
    Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

  • Creative Cloud just shows the spinning icon

    When I open Creative Cloud and try to download the just purchased InDesign CC application, it just shows the spinning icon. Have tried several times today and allowed it to run for hours. Restarted, emptied cache, etc. Followed the directions on different pages. Nothing works.

  • I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song.

    I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song. All the songs play on my iPad and MacBook. It seems like my iPhone will not let me download the rest of the songs, and I have 3.5 GB of remaining space. Help!

    You're welcome.  I've never set up an alias but according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622,
    "The text you provide becomes the email address ([email protected]). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters."
    This certainly implies that the alias is not required to be your registered name, and only becomes the prefix for a new @me.com address.  There might be something going on with the servers right now as they are probably very focused on getting ready for the iPhone 5 pre-order release, which is supposed to happen any minute now.  You might have better luck if you waited a while.

  • I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon.  Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

  • I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

    I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

    Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
    If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

  • My ipod all of a sudden blacked out and now it only shows the apple icon. When i press the on/off or home button it still remains with the apple icon. I tried plugging it to my lap top and going to i tunes but it says there is an error in the device

    I was looking through my pictures and when i tapped to see a specific one my ipod blacked out. Now the screen only shows the apple icon and I cant go anywhere. I tried preshing the on/off and home button but it won't work. I even pressed both at the same time for 10 seconds and still nothing... I connected it to my lap top and went to my itunes account but it tells me that the device that i just plugged in has an error. I already tried plugging it back in several times and it still won't work. I don't know what else to do. I havn't had it for a whole year yet so its still insured to the apple company right? at least thats what I heard

    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.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.
