Icloud errors not syncing songs ripped from CDs
I've been an iCloud customer since November 2011. However, since converting to iCloud the songs I've ripped from my CD collection nor songs (.aac) that were purchased from Amazon no longer sync. iCloud errors out each morning, I'm asked to log off then back on (which I do dutifully) but the error continues. My music is flagged "Waiting" and so it does! Everything else works, which is totally aggravating since the problem is obviously itunes or a server side issues.
I've contacted support multiple times and the last "genius" stated that "I do not have the training or tools to assist you". That's about the nicest bugger off line I've ever heard!
Well months later and still no fix, and the issue lingers.
I was hoping soeone out there could direct me to a solution, contact, or a trueiTunes genius that could help.. Ill pay, I just want iCloud to work as it's designed to I'd be happy if it did that much!

Songs ripped from CDs play in iTunes but skip on my iPhone after an upgrade to iTunes 11
I recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and following the upgrade noticed that certain songs were not playing on my iPhone 5C (iOS 7.1.1). They show in my Library on the phone but skip straight through on the player. They also show with a red stop sign and circles like they're awaiting download but I can't click on this icon. They play fine on iTunes on my desktop. I've noticed that it just seems to be the songs I ripped from my CDs, the ones purchased in the iTunes store work fine.
I work on Windows XP. I've tried reimporting my iTunes Library and syncing again but I still get the same problem

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?
You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store. -
Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.
Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible. -
i have songs i ripped from cds on my computer. after a while, some of them have started to skip. why does this happen? do i have to rip them all over again?

ICloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
iCloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
I don't even use IE but since the Firefox app won't open the bookmarks in Safari, I thought I'd just copy my Firefox bookmarks to IE, then use the cloud sync. (I am syncing and backing up to iCloud, and not my PC)
I did this all last night: backed up and then synced to iCloud Another thread suggested that you shut down IE so I did that. Someone else had suggested on a different thread that un-checking and re-checking the Bookmark check box in the iCloud Control panel would trigger a re-sync...did that all last night in hopes it would sync and it didn't.
I manually deleted everything in the Safari bookmarks in the Phone that it would allow, but now strangely enough in addition to the "Reading List" and "history" folders, I have TWO "Bookmarks Bar" folders with identical contents.
So I'm trying to be patient and thought maybe it takes some time for it to re-sync so I left iTunes up and running on the PC overnight...as usual....so I tried again this evening. I still have my old bookmarks on the iPhone (4S), and they've never pulled in.
Thoughts?Gee, I don't know what to tell you....I can open IE, add a folder, resync my iPhone to the iCloud, and the new folder appears. I even tried it while leaving IE open (I had read on another thread that closing it might help, but it had no adverse impact on my ability to sync).
Well, all I can suggest is to give Safari a try, or use the Firefox app (unfortunately it's a multi-step process to open a link through Safari, but that might not bother you)
Or, just run through these checkpoints one more time to make sure nothing is missed.
Are you running Windows 7 or later, and have you downloaded the iCloud Control panel for Windows?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
Do you have Bookmarks turned on in iCloud settings on your iOS device?
You may have done exactly this, but if not, give this a try (and may help others in the future)
Deselect Bookmark syncing in the iCloud control panel on your PC.
Deselect iCloud Bookmarks on your iOS device. It should then prompt you to take action with the previously synced bookmarks on your device. Choose "Delete from my iPhone (or whatever delete option it gives you).
Sync manually to the cloud through your iOS device. You should have no bookmarks on your device.
Now turn everything back on...
In the iCloud control panel, re-select Bookmarks/Internet Explorer
on your iOS device, re-enable iCloud Bookmark Syncing
Now manually back up your iOS device to iCloud -
What happened to my library? iTunes downloaded it's latest version and my library of over 10,000 songs ripped from over 1,000 cds disappeared! I WANT IT BACK!!!
Restore your library from a recent / current backup. If you've failed to maintain a backup of data you obviously regard as valuable, see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Are you syncing the music manually, automatically or over-the-air?

How do I transfer the music I ripped from cds I own to a new PC with iTunes?
Greetings y'all.
Some one I work with uses iTunes, and he wants to transfer all of his music from his old computer to his new computer. I went to the apple website trying to find answers. They have some pretty decent tutorials on how to transfer your music from one PC to another PC.
However, here's the curve ball, my co-worker has much music that they ripped from CDs. Whenever I tried some of the methods detailed on those tutorials they would simply not transfer the ripped music, all of which he legitimately purchased.
One of the methods details simply going to the folder that iTunes stores the music and copying it to an external then copy pasting it on to the other computer. When I tried this it not only did not copy the ripped music, it deleted it off of the external. Only the music which he purchased on the Apple iTunes store transferred over successfully.
He still has his old computer and won't get rid of it until we know for certain that his music is safely on his new computer.
Do you guys have any thoughts on this dilemma? Would home sharing work better on this?
The iTunes version on both his computers is the same. He is running Windows 7 on his new machine, and Windows XP on his old machine.I don't know Windows, so all I can suggest is how one moves the iTunes folder to another machine via an external drive. Now, if he added tracks but did not have them stored into the iTunes library then they are stored elsewhere on the old computer or he's just going to have to re-rip them from the CD. BTW, if he rips them using iTunes, then they should not require any conversion. iTunes rips as MP3s. They shouldn't require any conversion.

iCloud is not syncing photos from phone to ipad? When I login to icloud.com there is no Photo folder?? I read somewhere that you must close camera on iphone for photos to sync, have been doing that, but that's not doing it now.
Photo stream photos are uploaded when the camera app is closed, the device is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining. Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos. If those conditions were met and the photos are still not uploading, try turning photo stream off, then back on. Before turning it off, if you have any photo stream photos on it that are older than 30 days and are no longer in the camera roll, save them to the camera roll or you will lose them. (Open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.)

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works! -
My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!
iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source. In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google. I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC. If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook. I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices. Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI. -
ICloud calendar not syncing with Mac calendar
I deleted the default "all calendars" calendar from my iCloud calendar in a browser because it was the only way to solve a bizarre issue where I had 2 sets of every event from an extra calendar that I had subscribed to and then unsubscribed from in Google Calendars. After I fixed my Google calendar (deleted, re-imported) and re-subscribed to the Google calendar from my Mac calendar everything looks back to normal in my Mac calendar and on all my devices. HOWEVER...I can't get anything from the Mac calendar (which is getting its data from my Google calendar) to come back and repopulate the iCloud calendar viewed from a browser.
If I enter a new event in either the iCloud or the Mac calendars it appears in the other calendar within a minute, but all of the events that populated the Mac calendar when I imported my old google calendar to repopulate it have never migrated (unless I manually go to each event and change it from a gmail calendar event to an iCloud event in the Mac calendar).
Help! Any ideas??iCloud will not sync your Google calendar. To get it into iCloud, you have to export it as an .ics file, then import that to an iCloud calendar on your Mac. See http://www.groovypost.com/howto/osx-lion-import-google-calendars-icloud/.

After downloading maverick, iCloud will not sync across my devices
Since downloading Maverick [10.9], iCloud will not sync across my devices. Mail is not working properly. I'm being asked for passwords from everything.
Also, every time I close and then reopen Mail, I get a message saying "Mail cannot connect to the iCloud account "iCloud", requiring my password, again!
Is there a solution to this? How can I find out if it's server related, etc.?
Thanks to anyone out there that can help!Try restarting your router and all the other devices.
