I have just purchase Apple TV and uploaded my itunes from my pc to icloud, this has been shared to my ipad and i now have a little cloud with a red arrow next to all my tunes, so all would seem well, but on the apple tv nothing in music ? is it me?

I have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen,  Ipad Air.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page.

  • What does the little cloud with a down arrow next to a song mean

    I upgraded my phone from iOS6 to iOS7 and had to remove all my music to get enough space which is fine because I wanted to reload it anyways.  When I opened the music app, thinking there would be no music there, I was surprised to fine hundreds of songs each with a little cloud with a down arrow next to them.  What does the little cloud with the down arrow mean?  If I click on it am I purchasing something? Are they songs I can listen to for free?  I don't use and have never signed up for an iCloud account so they can't be songs I purchased because I haven't purchased any songs.

    Means they are stored in the cloud and you need to download them.

    Hi nomadsjangle,
    <u>'''Short answer,'''</u> downgrade to Flash 10.3, Firefox should then work ok, and hopefully RealPlayer will be fully functional.<br/>For instructions see [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
    Sorry you are having problems. I am not sure why you decided to blame Firerfox for this problem.
    If you pay for and install RealPlayer why do you blame Firefox when you need to uninstall it to play video ? Why not blame RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, or even another browser!
    This is a known issue and developers from Firefox, Flash and Realplayer have been involved with this for a few weeks. There have been a few changes in that time but no full solution that suits everyone is available, or likely in the immediate future AFAIK.
    I suspect your problem is due to the fact that FlashPlayer 11.3 introduced a security feature known as ''protected mode''. (Flash 11.3 may also have other issues with Firefox) RealPlayer (certainly the versions current when Flash11.3 was released) has problems with this. Real player is or was causing problems with use of Flash to view videos on Firefox with Flash 11.3.
    Note FlashPlayer will be installed on the Operating System as a plugin, and may be used by more than one browser (although it needs different software for IE).
    Downgrade Flash to 10.3 then if you still have problems post back, confirm the Flash Player version you have now,and the RealPlayer version.
    Note
    * if you use the Adobe uninstaller you may need to reinstall FlashPlayer on IE
    * take care not to follow advice from plugincheck FlashPlayer etc to upgrade to the latest version, until this issue is resolved.
    * this is a temporary solution, you should upgrade again once this is resolved.

  • What is a cloud with a red arrow?

    I have some songs on my phone that wont download from the cloud. They have a cloud with a red arrow next to them. How do I get them to download onto my phone?

    Hey mate,
    If it is next to apps, movies, tv shows, songs, apps you have previously purchased or downloaded, it means you can download it directly to your device without having to purchase it (again).
    By the sounds of it, if activate the icon and it cycles for a few moments then stops again, it means you may be trying to download something too large to download over a mobile network. Usually there should be an alert saying "this file needs to be downloaded over wi-fi", but this is not always the case. I suggest you locate a wireless network and try again.

  • I have downloaded an album through itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with a red arrow pointing downwards, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time.  Why is this?

    i have purchased an album via itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with an red arrow pointing down, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time.   Why?

    I'm not sure if they could tell you but you could try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption.  You will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

  • I am trying to manually Delete songs from my Ipad2, but when I delete it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song Completely?.

    I am Manually Deleting Songs from my Ipad2, but when I press Delete, it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song completely?.

    The cloud icon means that the songs are only in the cloud, they aren't stored on your iPad. You can turn off the showing of songs that are in the cloud via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off'. If you want to some cloud songs to show but not all then you can hide the ones that you don't want via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

    Did you empty the Trash?
    What size hard drive & how much free space. You should always have a minimum of 10-15% or more free space?

  • What does the cloud with a red arrow pointing down mean?

    My friend let me pre-order an album from the iTunes Store using his Apple ID but each song that hasn't been released yet has a cloud with a red arrow pointing down next to it. What does that mean? Do I have to wait until the album is released in order to complete my album? I'm also back on my own Apple ID so does that effect anything?
    Thanks,
    -Trent

    Try this. Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Show All>Music>Off. See if that gets rid of the songs with the cloud icon on them.

  • I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

    Help please

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

  • How do I download an item with a cloud with a down arrow next to it?

    I purchased an app, but all I get is a cloud with a down arrow. When i click on the cloud I'm told I've purchased the item and it will download now. Then the silly cloud appears again......

    You do not need to delete it as it is not there.  It is only in iCloud.
    You can go to settings and turn off the Show All music selection, if you do not want to see the songs that are not on your device, but available via iCloud.

    You can't do exactly what you want, but you can sync your own email, calendars contacts etc etc but both still have access to the same iTunes account.
    Firstly the Account for the iTunes store can be different than the one you use for data syncing, so in that sense you will be able to keep your information private as you want.
    You can also of course each have your own iTunes store account which would mean you use your own money to purchase music, video, books, apps etc etc, however you can not then both use each others content (you can homeshare music) and at least one of you want have any access to any purchases made before the split.
    You might consider an Apple ID each for iCloud sync services, but make the best of the situation with iTunes content.

  • I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  All the songs show the cloud with a red arrow pointing down. How do I download all of them again to my I phone please?

    I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  The music on the phone show the cloud and the red arrow pointing downwards.  How do I download all the music again to my phone please?

    I have an ITunes account.  I got it when I got my IPOD.  I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need.  I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has.  I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games.  I can do all that on my phone.  I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
    So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this?  And how do I get my music back?  Will it show up once I cancel my account?

  • Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

    When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

    No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices.  Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.
