I have iCloud storage, and need to back my music up to that, so I can have room on my iPhone. How do I do that?

I have the iCloud storage and use it, and pay the 20$ a year for it but I can't figure out how to back up my music an photos onto iCloud so that I can free up some space. And when I can do this how can I access the information on iCloud?

I guess I am confused like Emily.
I have uploaded every single cd I own to I-Cloud.  I thought that I could access any of this from my phone but from reading this, I can't access I-cloud from my phone to listen to music?  I can plug in in my car and listen to music now from  my phone.  If I delete my music off of my phone, then the only way I can access this music is to plug into my computer? 
Am I saying that and asking that the correct way?  I, too, bought extra storage on I-Cloud and I am always buying music from the i-tunes store...sometimes from my phone and sometimes when I am on the computer. 
I have 83 songs right now on my iphone and it says I don't have enough storage.

  • Not enough free space when there is - iTunes says I have over 9GB free but when I sync it says I can't as i don't have enough storage and need another 1.3GB!  it's driving me mad!!  help!!

    Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

    Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

  • My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud storage and backup, it says that I have 5.0 GB of total storage and 5.0 GB of available storage.

    My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!

    It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

  • Deleted icloud backup and need it back

    Today I had to get my software reset or restored by Apple because it was telling me my battery was much lower than it actually was. I was in a rush and could restore my previous backup (from a week ago) in the store and decided to do it at my hotel later. Long story short, I accidentally backed up my phone with nothing on it, trying to undo this i erased the phone. Then when going to set up the phone again looked to see NO BACKUPS even though i am 100% positive I had one from a week ago because the man who helped me in the Apple store told me and I checked. Please help me find this backup! The other option would be to back up my phone from 2013 which is not helpful at all. Thanks.

    If you really accidentally deleted good backup, try not to do that anymore. There is no way to help you, sorry. You should be able to see all your backups to icloud when you go to settings, icloud, storage and manage storage.

  • I have two homes and I would like to keep my iPad2 in sync with my desktops in each home. How do I do that?

    I have two homes in two different staes and I spend time between the two. I would like to keep my iPad2 in sync with my desktops (PCs) in each of the homes as I travel between the two. When I try to sync with the second PC ( with my iTunes ID) it threatens to wipe out my iPad2. I just want to keep the two desktops and my iPad in sync. Please help.

    Put a copy of the most current iTunes Media library onto a USB hard drive. Replace the older library with the newer one. Repeat the process when you return to the other home.
    Or you can sync everything to iCloud where it is accessible anywhere you can connect via your Apple ID.

  • I'm stuck with uk iTunes Store and need to change to the Australian store so my cc billing details will be accepted.  How do I do that?

    Has anyone else had this problem? It's not intuitive and very frustrating.  I just need to be able to switch iTunes Store to Australia so their software will accept my post code as being real in the billing section.

    Hey Chirolife,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you are trying to change the country for iTunes Store. These articles explain how to and why you may not be able to change the store.

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • TS3992 I have purchased additional icloud storage and now when I try to back up it says. "Last Backup not successful" No reason or additional information.

    I have purchased additional icloud storage and now when I try to back up it says. "Last Backup not successful" No reason or additional information.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.

  • TS4009 I have just upgraded my icloud storage and realised I need to cancel how can I do this?

    I have just upgraded my icloud storage thinking I could back up all files ie Word Excel and photos from my PC, I know realise I cannot, how can I cancel my subscription and get my money back?

    I accidentally purchased a $20 icloud storage upgrade for my iphone.  Unable to find any way to cancel this order on my phone or online, I was left with no option but to call Apple.  The first 20 minutes of the conversation with Ayesha in retail has required my phone serial number, my apple id, my apple security questions, my Visa expiry date, my visa number.... with multiple request that I stay on hold.  I asked for an incident number for my call so I would have a record of the call in case the return did not go through.  No incident number was provided by Ayesha. I was then put on hold and transferred to Andrew who then transferred me to Monica. Monica in icloud dept asked me to give all the same information over again because she said there was no record of my security verification. Forty minutes in total for a $20 refund! It would be easier to drive to a store and return a shirt!  The inefficiency cost is enormous to both Apple and myself. Profit margin must be HUGE for Apple to offer such poor service and still stay in business.

  • I have iphone 32gb how much icloud  storage y need

    I have iphone 32gb how much icloud storage i need?

    Music on your phone is either purchased from iTunes or synced from a computer. If from iTunes, it doesn't use your iCloud allocation and can be redownloaded from the store if necessary, if from your computer then it is already elsewhere.
    I'm not suggesting your use will be identical to mine but I have the 32 GB phone I use less than 1 GB for syncing documents and data, however I back up to iTunes rather than iCloud, but if I did back up to iCloud, I'd need about 4 GB.

  • I have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

    i have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

    This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
    1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
    2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
    3 - ???
    4 - profitt!
    might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

  • I want to ask my icloud storage and backup is 3,3 GB available from 5 GB is it also because the apps i have been purchased took that much space?

    Note that Photos in your Camera Roll are also backed up to iCloud.
    I have found most of the time, this is what is consuming a lot of the iCloud space.
    You should regularly copy the photos from iPhone to computer.
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Then delete from the Camera Roll
    You can then sync only the photos you want, back to the iPhone, using iTunes.
