I want to solely use the cloud for music & media...

I noticed that many of my songs and movies are being stored both on my hard-drives AND in the cloud via iTunes Match. I realize that each file in the Match cloud has to reside either on a computer or via an iTunes Store purchase, but I have many files that are on ALL of my computers drives.  Should I divide the files across my various drives and computers? Is there an option for storing EVERYTHING in the cloud? Even with external hard-drives I am still running out of start-up disk space!
Before I go on a deleting spree -- I ask the conventional wisdom for some tips & advice...

The device that AT&T has provided to you may....or may not....be able to be configured to allow your Time Capsule to function as the "main" router on the network.
Even if it can....AT&T will likely not support this type of configuration
Check with AT&T first to see if this is possible....and also whether they will support this type of configuration in the event of Internet connection difficulties.
If the AT&T device that you have cannot be configured to allow the Time Capsule to function as the main router, AT&T may have a simple modem that could be used for this purpose. That's another question for AT&T.

  • How to use the cloud for music

    How do I upload part of my music to the cloud to share with my laptop when away from the house?

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express?  I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

    Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express?  I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

    It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
    If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."

    In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

  • I want a soundbar for my 6th generation nano but am having trouble finding a compatible device. I'd like more than a dock, ideally a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I'll only use the soundbar for music, not TV home theater. Any suggestions?

  • How can i make my google calendars stay on my computer so that i dont have to use google calendars anymore? i want to just use the cloud

    How can i make my google calendars stay on my computer so that i dont have to use google calendars anymore? i want to just use the cloud

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
    You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
    If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

  • When using i-cloud for music storage does it take up memory in i-phone?

    when using i-cloud for storage of music does it take up memory on my i-phone or other devises?

    The behavior is different on computers and mobile devices.
    On computers, songs will stream from the cloud unless you explicitely download them, so no.
    On iOS devices, each song is downloaded when you play it (or when you explicitly download it), so yes, if you play many different songs, it will eventually fill up your device and you will have to delete some of them.

  • A friend recommended Photoshop to me.  I need to resize photos.  The webiste has so many flavors.  I think I need just plain Photoshop.  When I click that, I get shotoshop CC.  I have zero desire to use the cloud for my photos.  I just want to run the pro

    I just want to install photoshop to my PC so I can edit photos.  Does anyone have the link to do this?Photoshop General Discussion

    Photoshop CC is not cloud based. It is installed from the cloud, but stays and runs on your computer. Where your files are stored as well.
    For a beginner, you may be better off getting photoshop Elements as it hold your hand a bit to help you. Where as photoshop CC does have a steep learning curve since yes it is for pro's as well as those that want to take the time to learn it.

  • I have used a Seagate external hard drive for my Mac desktop. It is malfunctioning. Can I disconnect and depend on iCloud to keep my documents, music, and photos backed up safe and secure? I use the Cloud for phone, pad and desktop.

    Can I expect iCloud to safely back up and secure my documents, music and pictures? I am using Cloud on phone, pad, and desktop. Have depended on external hard drive in the past. It is malfunctioning. Will the Cloud replace it for storage and safety?

    Time Machine in itself, without an external drive may well be good for instances where you accidentally delete documents that you later require. However in the event of a hard drive failure, if Time Machine backup is kept on the same drive as the original items, it will not be much use to you.
    In my opinion, it is vitally important that you have an external drive for backup, whether you use Time Machine or a another backup solution is entirely up to you.
    My situation is slightly unusual, I have four hard drives in my computer and multiple arrays of hard drive enclosures with multiple hard drives within them (in total I have 40 TB of storage). As a result of this I tend to employ more than one backup procedure, I use Time Machine to backup some items and a utility called tri-backup to backup other items. I also keep two backups of everything.
    Time Machine is free, it's included with your operating system, I wonder if you mean time capsule.

  • I just want to use the iphone for music, internet and video.

    Hello, I recently won an iphone.
    Scenario 1
    what do I need to do if I do not want to activate the phone portion and sign up with At&T, but do want to use all of the non-phone applications the iphone has to offer?
    Scenario 2
    I am currently under contract with AT&T and have a work sponsored blackberry. Let's say I did want to use the phone capabilities of the iphone but do not want to activate it and pay out of my own pocket. What can I do? I have read so many SIM related posts but have yet to find the one, single, clear answer.
    Please help:-)

    If you are a current ATT customer, you wont pay an activation fee for the iPhone. But you will have to add the iPhone data plan to your bill. I don't know what your paying now, but this may, or maynot affect your overall bill. I do know, that you will loose your corperate discount though.

  • Lightning symbol next in the cloud for music

    Every so often I get a lightning in the cloud next to Music menu.  I have to click on it to make it go away.  Very annoying.

    Hi,
    THe lightning bolt symbol indicates that you are not connected to iTunes Match. Click on symbol to try and get connection. Initially you will see cloud with lines before cleat cloud symbol appears.

  • Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

    As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products.   I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
    I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income.  I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization.  If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those.  If I could upgrade one or more of the  programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable.  However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair.   I certainly understand that there are  businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option?  Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
    Something to think about.  It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

    Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing.  It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
    As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I stop iTunes from using the cloud?

    I use iTunes primarily for listening to podcasts.  I recently upgraded to version 11.1.
    Now, it used to be that I'd refresh podcasts, download the subscribed ones, listen to them, delete them. done.  I just opened iTunes and under one of the podcasts, there were about a hundred old ones; I used to be able to show everything on one page, now I have to scroll 4 or 6 pages to see what I want.  The "new" podcasts have a little cloud icon, so I guess that's where they are, or downloaded from.
    Two questions:  how do I delete these files, and how do I stop from using the cloud for podcasts?
    (This is a repeat question, because SoonerDoc1 marked it as solved, and it's not)

    That doesn't fix it as the podcast with the cloud logo show up as/in unplayed, I subscribe to CNET First Look Podcasts, some download and some don't download but have a cloud logo. Seems very random. iTunes is a badly written application that is getting worse after every new release.  If iTunes doesn't improve soon I'll downgrade to iTunes 10.7 which was just about use-able. for the second time.
