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.

When I purchase the cloud for my music storage will the entire music catalog show on my device?

When I purchase the storage to store my music in the cloud ....will my music library be available with the amount of songs that I have stored in the cloud ?

Music purchased from the iTunes store is already available in iCloud and does not require purchasing any storage. If you want to access music from other sources (such as your CDs), you have to purchase a subscription to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). This will make your iTunes library accessible through iCloud (up to 25,000 songs not including music purchased from the iTunes store). It also does not require additional storage in your iCloud account. The subscription pays for separate storage to host your music and does not use your personal iCloud account storage.

Music setting will not save in slideshow

After I create a slide show and pick a song from Itunes everything works fine. If I view another slide show then come back to the one I was just working on the default sample iphoto music plays, instead of the song that I previously selected.
Is there any way to save my preferences so after I save my song preference it will always play that specific song rather than go back to the first sample song?

How are you creating the slideshow? By pressing play on an Album or using the slideshow button in the toolbar. If the latter and the problem persists, then try delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder and try again.

Icloud music storage

Forgive my stupidity, but if store all my music in the Cloud does that mean i don't have to have it taking up gb's on my computer. I have over 850 albums which take up a lot of space so if i could free this up by storing elsewhere that would be fantastic

Actually it's not a stupid question at all! My perspective was that the iTunes match service was designed to populate iOS devices and to replace the iTunes -> iOS manual syncing, but you are quite correct you could match/upload all your songs then delete from iTunes(making sure you don't select delete from cloud as well!!) *BUT* the only issues is that match doesn't really stream, it downloads and then plays (or if the connection is fast enough downloads and plays at the same time). It then keeps a copy on the iOs device incase you want to play it again, freeing up space if you download more than the device capacity. In this scenario you PC would free up all the space but slowly lose it as you play each song!
Others may know more....

To save memory on my Ipad 16gb rather than store films, can I send them to Icloud and use my storage there and simply bring one back when I want to watch.

To save memory on my Ipad as I only have the 16gb - rather than store films on the ipad, can i send them to icloud and bring back when i want to watch one. Or can I compress them to save memory. I know I should have bought the 32 or 64 gb ???

You can't send films to iCloud, whether you can re-download them depends upon what country that you are in (films can't currently be re-downloaded in all) and whether the relevant film studios have agreed to allow them to be re-downloaded, and whether they remain in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items). There are a number of wifi-enabled drives that you can buy that allow you to stream films and tv shows to an iPad, so you don't necessarily have to store them on your iPad e.g. Seagate GoFlex Satellite (I haven't got one so I don't know how good they are)

Your iCloud storage will be reduced to 5 GB

Received the following mail this morning:
Your iCloud storage will be reduced to 5 GB on 09/30/2012.
However, you are currently using more than 5 GB.
Unless you take action before your downgrade takes effect, backups to iCloud will stop, and apps will no longer be able to save documents to iCloud. You can either free up storage or cancel your downgrade to keep your current storage plan for another year.
Any idea as to the reasons I got this mail?

So let me see if I understand this correctly.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple is standing before the world telling us that iCloud is the wave of the future and it's here now. Gone are optical drives, need for bigger SDD or HDDs, and with IOS6 and Mountain Lion, documents, pictures, movies, and musics seamlessly move across all your authorized platforms.
DO YOU THINK HE MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED THAT HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE FOR THAT NEW TECHNOLOGY?!?
What a complete rip-off. I have drank the Apple Kool-Aid and it isn't very good. Now a basic feature that I have come to relay on is gone and Apple will not get one red cent from me for doing so. Yes, they are big, rich and I am nothing in their eyes but its one more revenue stream they will not profit by.
While I am on the subject, great job Apple of getting rid of YouTube, a key intergrated application that I used daily until IOS6. Gone as well is transportation in your crappy map app. Sure was nice when it was Google and I could plan on it for the CTA (shout out to my fellow Chicagoians). Next time Tim Cook wants to measure sizes with Google, just accept they make a better product and use it. When you get in an ego fight it's the customer that loses, not you. Remember all the great PC makers that have come and gone because they tried to be all things and block everyone out: Packard Bell, Wang, Gateway, IBM PC, Sony, and the list goes on.
Apple's ego is running the company. This is why the Samsung Galaxy commerical hit home to so many of us; why stand in line for a product that is behind the times and doesn't listen to its customers because it thinks it knows us better than we know ourselves. Guess you must have forgotten about me.

HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I purchased iCloud extra storage for music, received an email stating my 5 gig storage is nearly full. How can I get to the 25,000 song storage I purchased separately?

How can I connect my iCloud free 5 gig storage to the $25.00 additional storage I purchased from Apple for 25,000 songs? I received messages stating I have used nearly all of my free storage. Are they dfferent storages? I only have one apple id.

Are you sure you didn't buy iTunes Match and not additional storage? I ask because of the 25,000 songs is a specific detail. Try this link and see if it rings any bells (http://www.apple.com/ca/itunes/itunes-match/) I have Match and I love it but one thing it doesn't do is give you more general storage, just access to all your music. If you only wanted the storage for music you will be fine with Match, if you are still needing storage may want to go through your device settings and turn off some apps from your back up to gain more space (Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage). Failing that, you may want to contact Apple and let them know you wanted the Storage bump, not iTunes Match.
Hope this helps.

My iPad will not save app settings to icloud.

I have tried with three different apps to get my iPad to save data to icloud. These apps will save data to icloud from my wife's iPad and from my iPhone. On her iPad, I can turn on the setting to save the settings to icloud and then immediately go to icloud manage storage and see that something has been written to icloud by that app. From my iPad, the files never appear. Also, if I delete an app that was supposed to write its settings to icloud, I get a message stating that documents pending changes to icloud will be deleted resulting in data being lost. I have turned off documents and data in icloud settings and restarted the iPad. I have deleted all of the apps that are supposed to write to icloud and reinstalled them. I have deleted the icloud account and re-added it. A backup to icloud works, so I know my account at least can write to icloud, but no apps can write data to icloud from my iPad. The same apps on my wife's iPad can write to her icloud account, and the same apps on my iPhone can write to my icloud account. I'm stumped. Something has the documents and data queue to icloud clogged up on my iPad and I don't know how to clear it out. Has anyone out there experienced this? I had hoped iOS 6 would fix the problem, but I installed it yesterday and the problem still exists.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

If I were to delete some pictures from my camera roll on my iphone for more storage, will those pictures be deleted from icloud as well?

I'm trying to delete pictures on my iphone so I can have more storage but I don't know if that would cause my pictures to be deleted from icloud as well. I really need help!

OK, so if you don't have a Camera Roll, then you are using iCloud Photo Library. Here are the FAQs on the iCloud Photo Library:
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on (you can verify this by going to Settings>iCloud>Photos>then verify that iCloud Photo Library is turned on, and if you also have the Optimize option in Settings>iCloud>Photos or Settings>Photos & Camera>Optimize = ON, then iCloud will manage the photos that are on your device automatically:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Cheers,
GB

When I backup from my iPhone via iCloud backup and for some reason it only completes half, then will it save the half completed backup

My iCloud backup only completes upto half steps(sometimes) so will it save the half completed backup in iCloud

This needs to be addressed because you will not be able to use an incomplete backup. Not being able to back up to iCloud can be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

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.

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.

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.

If I pay for extra iCloud storage will I be able to download more of my magazines?

Welcome to the Apple community.
No. To do that you need more space on your phone.
