Is there any way not to lose the music on my phone from iTunes Match?

So my laptop died a while ago but I had all my music saved to an external harddrive. I uploaded my music files to my neew computer but for some reason some of my songs wouldn't download and now they exist on my phone but not my computer. I purchased iTunes Match last year and when I tried to enable it on my phone it told me that it would replace all the music on my phone with the music in my library, which clearly is not what I want. Any way around this? Thanks!

Yes! There are a variety of good third party applications that will allow you to rebuild your original library directly from your iPhone.
Once you've selected and used your preferred application you will have on your computer a complete set of all Songs - the immediate next step is to securely back-up. With secure back-up complete you can use iTunes Match with no risk of Song loss.

Hello cgbuehling
You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

HT1329 Is there any way I can get the music from my iPod to my new laptop?

So recently my computer broke, taking all of my music with it, and now I only have the music on my iPod. Is there any way I can take the music from my iPod and put it on my new laptop?

You can't transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your new computer's iTunes library.

HT1296 Is there any way I can transfer the music from my ipod touch to my computer without having to pay for it? Itunes worked fine with my ipod on my old laptop. I am not willing to risk losing all of the music on my ipod to update to the newest iOS.

I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.

You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Is there any way I can block the ipod that somebody stole from me?

Two days ago, somebody broke my frind's car lock and they stole everything was in there, icluding my ipod, I just wanna know if there any possibility to at least block that ipod so they can't use it anymore.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Is there any way to have playlists of podcasts on a device with itunes Match?

I use a playlist to organize my podcasts on my iPhone. This enables me to listen to all unplayed episodes without having to keep choosing a new one. However, when I turn iTunes Match on on the phone, the playlist disappears from the phone. The podcasts from the playlist still come over. Additionally, once iTunes Match is on, I also cannot add podcasts to any plylist - new or existing. Does anyone have anyideas on how to resolve this? Or is it something Apple needs to fix in the next iteration of iOS?

You could try using the Custom Geometry extension and see how that works for you. ''I have been having problems with it on WinXP since Firefox 4.0 was released last year, maybe it will work better for you on Windows7.''
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-geometry/
In Options for that extension setup additional Custom Geometry options ''(height, width, left, & top)'' with different offsets, and when you open an additional window use the drop-marker on the CG toolbar button to select the offset you want for that new window.
That drop-marker menu hasn't been working properly on my PC, but I use still use CG when running multiple Profiles - each with a different offset, so that I have access at the edge of the current window to "grab" another Profile when I want.

If your backup is incomplete you won't be able to use it. Do you have any backups on your computer? (You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices on a PC). That will list any available backups on your computer.

My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup. That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now. Sorry.

I have just signed upfor family sharing. Is there any way you can get the same app on two devices but not have to share it? My sons both want clash of clans but they don't want to be on the same village and they can't both be on app at the same time?

hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon or have it triggered?

Hi,
Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon?
Not only is it bad artwork, I have a cool custom button that I wanted to bring up the Note widget. Also, when I put the Note Widget on top of my custom button, it blocks the button's glow for the mouse over state, wven when I choose the option of making the widget transparent.
Any way my custom button could trigger the Widget Note to launch?
Any help would be much appreciated.
cheers

Hi digitalnoob
To use your custom icon image instead of default Note icon, you would have placed your image on top of the "transparent" widget.
To make these objects available on click of some button:
Group these two objects.
Make this group invisible in output.
Add the button which should trigger this widget.
On the button, set the action to Show this group.
To hide this group on 2nd click you need to use some advanced action and variables. Else, you can have a different button to hide this group.
