ICloud button in iTunes (hoverover says music available) does nothing..

I purchased an album from my iphone 5 whilst away from my home computer. After listening numerous times, I returned home and synced it to my PC Win7. Now the album is removed from the iphone and seems to have dissapeared from everywhere.. I don't remember if I ever saw it on the laptop.. now, the icloud button doesn't do anything. Is there anyway to access purchased music on the icloud other than through itunes??

Actually, the cloud icon next to a song in your library means iTunes is "waiting" for a result for the song. To find out what the actual status of the song is you should turn on the iCloud Status column in the iTunes Browser. Pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status." You'll see one of several statuses next to the song. The most common will be "purchased," "matched," "uploaded," "waiting." If the songs you have questions about have an cloud icon next to them in the iCloud Download column then the status will probably be "waiting" which means the matching process is not complete yet. When a song is "matched" it will not have a cloud icon next to it. 
When you click the iTunes Match entry in the left-hand column what do you see?

    There is no one from Apple here, thus no one here can answer your question.

  • Clicking on "order prints" just says "connecting" then does nothing ...

    I fear that I screwed up somewhere in setting up my 1-click setting and now when I select a photo and click on order prints, it just says connecting then does nothing. It doesn't even take me to the 1-click screen to allow me to change account info. Does anyone know of a way to at least get me back to the 1-click page to allow me to associate my mac account to iphoto?

    This Apple kb says to reinstall iPhoto 6. Hopefully that will solve it for you.

  • I downloaded garage band on my iPad ages ago but now it just says waiting and when I click on it it just says "retry" and does nothing. I've spent literally ages making songs (I've got like 20 ). How can I get it back with all my songs still there?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • What would cause itunes to say "music file has been moved or is missing" when no files were moved?

    What would cause iTunes to say: "The song “All Prayed Out” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" when the music library has not been moved or modified?  This is the case for many, but not all the songs in my library.

    But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
    Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

  • ITunes Match says music was matched, but it's not visible on iOS devices

    I have a library of 16,000+ songs in iTunes. I understand some of my music won't be available, but what's puzzling me is this:
    - iTunes Match (the iCloud icon) indicates a song/album was MATCHED (in this case, Opeth's "Blackwater Park" and Amon Amarth's "Versus the World").
    - In the Music app on my iPhone 4S, other songs/albums by those artists are available for download, and I have successfully downloaded them. However, those albums are not visible to download.
    - "Show All Music" is enabled under Settings -> Music.
    So, as the title says, iTunes on both computers have iTunes Match enabled, and both say those albums are "Matched", but they're not visible as available for download on my iPhone 4S.
    Any ideas?

  • ITunes computer uploaded music available on IPAD

    I recently uploaded music to iTunes from my computer (windows).  Then I uploaded the music (sync) to my new IPOD.
    Next, I went to my IPAD. Expecting to see the iTunes music in either iTune or MUSIC ico on mu IPAD.  I did not find the music at either location.  Where is it? What do I need to do to be able to hear the music on my IPAD. I do not want to LOAD onto my IPAD. Just would like to be able to gain access to the songs.

    Hi brooksm549,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • Why when I try and login to iTunes with my apple ID it says that it hasnt been used with iTunes store before and then does nothing?

    I just got a apple ID and an iPod touch and when I'm trying to sync it to my iTunes and try and log on it says that my apple id hasnt been used in iTunes store before and wont let me do anything...?

    No iCloud account previously.  Message suggests I need to give email address in account username/I'D which isn't my Apple ID which is something different to an email address?

  • Ipod Mini - music disappeared, does nothing

    I bought an ipod mini fall of 2004, right away it had issues...in the first month it, I turned it on one day and all of my music was gone. I sent it back to Apple thinking it was the battery...they found nothing. then of course it was fine through the rest of the warranty and one year and one month later, it lost all music again and when plugged in, just shows the apple. wont do anything alt all now...
    I had put it in a drawer for the past 9 months, as I couldnt deal with getting another apple brand lemon.
    is it the battery or worse? thanks...

    The exact same thing happened to me. One day I went to turn on my ipod mini and all my music was gone.
    So I thought, "Oh, I'll just connect it to my computer again to get all the songs back."
    Well for some reason it wouldn't connect. It still says
    "Do not diconnect." but nothing happens. it just sits there for hours without poping up onto my itunes.

  • After downloading iTunes, the setup file simply does nothing...

    I got a new iPod touch yesterday and when I tried to update my iTunes (which was 7.6) the update would not work. After trying to update multiple times I finally decided to uninstall iTunes so that I could re-install it (and hopefully have it work. This, I soon learned was a big mistake. The download of the iTunes setup file to my desktop worked fine, but when I tried to actually install iTunes, nothing happened. I can click the file, a window pops up saying that the program is from an unknown publisher and asks me if I want to run it anyway. I click yes, and nothing happens. When I try to install iTunes from the apple website, it won't work either. I then get a pop up saying that the program is bot valid and will not install. I have tried everything reccomended on the troubleshooting section and no change. I have windows XP, which is up to date, has vbscript installed and have tried everything that I can think of. Can anyone help me??
    please and thank you.

    I am afraid I don't know the answer to this. The problem seems to crop up a fair bit, but I haven't seen anyone post a solution.
    There is an experiment I have been wanting to try with someone if you are willing. I have been wondering if this could be anything to do with a problem with cryptographic dlls.
    Could you try working through *Method 4* in the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    It is possible that simple re-registering the dlls might help if the process goes through without any error messages.
    But it is also a test to check for missing dlls - make a careful note of any error messages that may occur.

  • HT201364 Trying to download OS X Maverick from App store, but it just says 'downloading' and does nothing.

    I am trying to download Maverick from the app store, and it's not working. At first it said 'downloading' for the longest time (hours), then I closed the app store and rebooted, and now even if I click on 'download' it does not work. Any ideas?

    peterfromessex,
    the downloaded Mavericks installer will be put into your Applications folder. Have you checked there, to see if it actually did download OK?
    (If you leave the Mavericks installer in your Applications folder, then it will be deleted after you run it. If you wish to keep the installer after running it, move it out of the Applications folder before running it for the first time.)
