ICloud Music Question

Hi. I got a question about purchasing music with iCloud with my setup.
1. My iTunes library is on a 2006 32 bit Mac Mini, hooked up to a HDTV and surround sound. I can't run Lion, so I can't connect the mini to the cloud.
2. I have an iPod Touch, MacBook, and iPad that can connect to the cloud
3. I can upload my music up to the cloud using my MacBook
My question is about updating the Mac Mini with new purchases. Can use my iPad to buy music from iTunes(so that it would be up in the cloud), then transfer the music from my iPad to the Mac mini using the cable? Would this work? Thanks.

On the mini, open iTunes store and select "Purchased" at top right under "Quick Limks" and download purchased music.

I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC. So I can't use my iCloud contact synch. My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music

I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC. I got a new HP PC with the (awful) Windows 8.0 operating system, and, to say the least, I miss the good old days. Plaxo customer support tells me that I can't use my iCloud contact synch because they clash.
My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music, photos) to operate as usual.
What mysterious steps must I take in order to do this and not cause a complete meltdown in the process? The meltdown that I fear most is the one that happens between my ears.

Music is nothing to do with iCloud but Photostream is, so turn off Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in the iCloud Control Panel) and leave everything else on.
You will lose iCloud Calendars and Mail as well as Contacts, but you can manually re-enable mail (if you use iCloud email)

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

Apple ID & iCloud ID Question

Apple ID & iCloud ID Question
I recently added a second iPhone for my spouse and want to pair that phone to her iPad Mini so she can receive iMessages on both her phone and iPad. In setting up her phone and iPad I kept her Apple ID the same as on my iPhone and iPad2, but I created a new iCloud account for her 2 devices. I also used the iCloud account for both messages and face time. However, her incoming messages are not showing up on her iPad. Unlike my iPhone and iPad where messages show up on both devices. What am. I setting up wrong?

Go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Create an Apple ID'. You will not need a credit card (that's when opening and account in the iTunes Store).

You cannot. Airplane mode disables all communications.
Download a few songs to your device before you enable airplane mode.

HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer."

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

Can't add to playlists - "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library" If you continue, playlist will be removed from iCloud and only be available on this computer

I have just tried to add a track to an existing playlist - and get the following message - "iCloud playlists canonly contain songs from your iCloud music library" If you continue, playlist will be removed from iCloud andonly be available on this computer". I have tried dragging and dropping, right clicking and adding and pressing the little arrow to add to playlist and all tell me that I cannot do this. What's that all about? I am not signed up to iTunes match and I wasn't aware that iCloud held music libraries?? Someone please help. Thanks SM

I am really surprised that no one has been able to help me with this... Anyhow, I have still got the propblem - although I am definitely NOT using Match. I have been adding to existing play,ist by removing it from icloud (dunno how - but it's an option offered when trying to add to playlist).. Now when I sync iphone that's fine - playlists are good - but when syncing ipad 3 - Nope it's not having it. What to do?

How do I download all of my icloud music to my ipad? I don't always have a wifi connection and would like to store these files directly on my device.

I know it defeats the purpose of the iCloud, but I would like to have some (if not all) of my iCloud music available on my iPad. I'm not always able to get a wifi signal and it would be nice to have these files actually on my iOS device. Is there a setting to download everything?

When you say "iCloud music" do you mean iTunes Match or iTunes purchases in the cloud?
I'd start with this article to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Either way, there is a cloud picture with a download arrow inside it-click on it and it downloads to your device

How I can hide the iCloud music library in iTunes?

How I can hide the iCloud music library in iTunes? I want to see only my local music library.

If you go into edit and click preferences there is a checkbox in the "store" tab that says "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" if you uncheck that it will show only the local content.

ICloud music storage will it save memory on my phone?

My music takes up 8 g of memory. Will iCloud music save me memory on iphone5?

It would allow you to more easily access your music and download what you wish to have on it (without the need to synch to itunes). Whether it saves you storage would depend on how you use it, but potentially, yes.

Getting rid of icloud music (not just hiding it)

so, I just bought a new car with Bluetooth music capabilities. I was very excited to have a small selection of music to be able to select from, and I actually added music to my phone for the first time. My issue, is that on the car's screen, I am seeing all the music I had purchased from icloud previously. I would like to remove these, but I cannot figure out how. These songs showing up are not on my phone, and are not on my itunes library.
what I have tried:
i have done everything I can to hide t he music. I've switched the selection on iTunes and AppStore to not show all music. When I look at my library on the phone, it only has what I had added. The things NOT on the phone are still showing in my car.
i went onto iTunes on my computer, and clicked on the little x to hide all the things that had been purchased. This works on the iTunes Store, but the items still appear when pairing the phone to the car.
the one thing I haven't done yet is sign out from iTunes on the phone, which I have read works. I feel there should be a better way to do it though. it seems this would only be a temporary solution, because as soon as I sign in again, the music would come back.
If anyone has a way to get rid of this music, it would be very much appreciated.

I don't claim bigger insight into how apples servers work but if I were to make iCloud music then rather then having a copy of each music number to give people who buy it and then store the very same data for every single one of users who bought it then I would keep the data 1 place and handle iCloud music streaming by controlling who could access the 1 place the music file was stored if that was the case then if you deleted it it would be gone for everybody forever

How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app with effecting icloud music?

My music was taking up too much space so I joined itunes match, but the 6 gigs of my music is still on my ipad. How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app without affecting icloud music? I clicked to replace all music with icloud music. They both appear in Music and I don't see anywhere to remove all downloaded music. If I delete all music, I fear it will delete all music in iCloud. I assumed by joining iTunes Match that I would get the 6 gigs back for other items since my music should be on iCloud now. If that is not the case then I need to get my $ back for Match.

Removing music from an iOS device does not remove it from the cloud.
Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.

How do i get music into my Icloud music library?

I have iTunes match and I was creating a new playlist. I tried to add an album we a message appeared saying " Icloud playlist can only contain songs from your Icloud music library." How do I get that album in my Icloud music library and accessible in an Icloud playlist?

Hi,
Make sure that your iTunes library on your computer has added the tracks to match. Add icloud status to song view, this will tell you if they have been matched or uploaded. Your playlist should not include ineligible items such as PDFs
