Is it possible to not hide my iTunes purchases and not have them show up on my iPhone?
I am asking this because I love having my iTunes purchases showing up on my Apple TV, but I like to manually add my music to my iPhone from my MBP. Plus it annoys me the way that Apple labels their Songs and Artists in iTunes, so I like to change these to my preferences. Only problem is that when you purchase something in iTunes, and you don't hide the purchase, it will show up on your phone twice, from being manually added and from being in the cloud. Is there a way to turn this off on my iPhone?
You can stop music that is in the cloud from showing on your phone via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off' - that will stop music showing with the cloud icon against it in the Music app, so the copies that you've edited and synced will still show.

I have all these songs that I want to store on my iPod but not on my computer, and I know that by choosing to manually manage my music I can still hang on to these songs when I add new songs to my iPod. However, what if I want to delete songs off of my iPod in the future? Will I lose all of the extra music that is on my iPod but not my computer, due to the fact that the only way to delete songs seems to be by syncing?
The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

Purchase book from ibooks and paid for it. When I look up "purchased" it says it is downloaded but I cannot find it in either ibooks or itunes. Am very new at this and read all previous similar posts, but nothing helped. Please help me find my book.
If it shows as 'downloaded' in the Purchased tabs in the iBooks app then it should show on the bookshelf in the app. If you select the My Books tab in the app (bottom left) and then tap the 'collection' name at the top middle of the bookshelf and select the 'All' collection does it then show on the bookshelf ?

hi, is it possible to download apps using itunes because we dont have wifi connection, we only have an internet service connected to the PC.
There are some steps on this page for syncing a device (the page talks about iPhones, but it would work for iPads as well) to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.
When you connect an iPad to a computer's iTunes for the first time it might give you two options, to replace what is currently on the iPad with what is in that computer's iTunes library, or to set it up as a new device (i.e. remove all content from it) - hopefully the above page will get around that.
You should be able to use different computers to update the iOS version and to sync content (can you not use the same computer ?), but you will probably have to do the above for both.
If you don't currently have anything on the iPad that you don't mind losing (have you downloaded apps or other content when you've had access to wifi e.g. in shops, other people's homes ; or got any documents etc on it) then you don't need to go through the steps on that page. -
I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps. Thank you
All you can do is hide them from your purchased list. You cannot permaneently delete anything from your purchased history.
Also, these are not stored in your iCloud account storage space. The purchases reside in the online store and all you see is a list of those purchases made with your account, with a cloud-link to redownload them, but you are merely re-downloading them directly from the store. -
iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you Carolyn,
I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
Many thanks -
A song I purchased shows up in iTunes, but will not show up on my iPhone. When the phone is plugged into the computer, iTunes shows that it is on my iPhone, but it is not. How do I get that song to show up on my iPhone?
I have the same problem and it only affects the one song, everything else syncs

I have an iTunes account with a $25.00 credit but everytime I go to purchase a song, it goes to my credit card details. How do I use the iTunes credit and not the credit card?
Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

I don't know how you got my sailsalot name from my Skype account but I signed in with you as "gags76" and got help with my new ipad. I discovered I used a different Apple id and password on my ipad from my computer (imac) and changed that. My e-mail is Could you email me if there is something I should do at my end.

Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
Sorry, but no.
Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire. -

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?
Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced. -
I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?
Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
