ITunes and iPad 2...just want to view my music!

I'm trying to set up iTunes so it behaves and appears like it does on my PC.  Right now when I click on the iTunes icon on my iPad 2, it goes directly to the iTunes store.  I just want it to go directly to my music.  Not the store....not purchased songs (which I have very few anyway) not downloads...just take me to my freaking library!  These are songs that I put on my iPad from my regular iTunes library.  As it is right now, I almost accidentally get to where I want...right now I click on iTunes...then music at the bottom...then downloads (which I have none) then the "purchased" arrrow on the top right...THEN it finally takes me to my actual library.  Are there any shortcuts to this?

If you want to go straight to your music use the iPod app, the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store - the iPod app's icon looks like this :

  • Hi, Unfortunately my Laptop has died (which had my iTunes on it). I want to ensure my music on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air are backed up. Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices?

    Hi, Unfortunately my Laptop has died (which had my iTunes on it). I want to ensure my music on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air are backed up. Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices, i.e. NO Computer? Can the iCloud help? Why can't I download iTunes (i.e. my library as I saw it on the computer) to these devices? Thanks to anyone who can help me here.

    You can change the email address of one's appleID...
    I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
    Then switch mom's back to hers
    Then change your account to the same email you used.
    I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone)

  • How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

    How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
    As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
    The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
    Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
    I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
    Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

  • Is there any way i can access my itunes library without downloading iTunes? i just want to view it online.

    I just want to view my itunes library online without downloading itunes. Is there anyway to do that?

    Not without being able to remotely log in to the computer containing it. An iTunes library is never stored on Apple’s servers.

  • I updated iTunes and iPad software and now the iPod function doesn't work--it just displays a large musical note with no controls or songs.

    Why does the iPod on my iPad not work after I updated the iTunes and iPad software? All I see when I touch iPod is a large musical note, no controls or songs.

    happened to me the first time i used the i pod app after the i tunes update.  simply back all the way out - (double hit the home button - the ipod app is one of those things that seems to continue to live in the multitaking bar).  When you restart the i pod app, it should dome back fine.  I do not think (but maybe I did) that I needed to do a full shut down - just fully close and reopen.

  • How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

    How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

    FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this.  I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether.  I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed.  For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

  • HT204161 I have separate apple ID, iTunes and iPad account. Can these be linked? Will simply changing the login info to match will this accomplish a link?

    I have separate apple ID, iTunes and iPad accounts. Can these be linked/combined? Will simply changing the login info to match accomplish a link?

    You should continue to use your Apple ID for your iTunes account whatever you do in terms of iCloud syncing and mobile me.
    If you would like to use the Apple ID you use for iTunes for iCloud syncing. just create an iCloud account using that Apple ID. If you do this you will need to add an iCloud mail address which can't be your mobile me address as that is already taken.
    If you want to create another Apple ID for use with iCloud so that you keep your @me address from your mobile me account you can do that by migrating from mobile me to iCloud, you can do that too, your Apple ID for iCloud will then be your @me address.
    If you migrate your calendars and contacts will also be migrated and continue to work in iCloud. If you create an iCloud account using the Apple ID you use for iTunes you will be given the oportunity to merge your calendars and contacts.
    Whichever you choose, it would be agood idea to export your calendars and contacts for back up purposes before doing anything.

  • My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts?

    My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts in each of those separate user accounts?

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

  • ITunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but  I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this?

You used to be able to swipe and delete a song straight from your phone but I can't seem to do that anymore.

    That is stealing.

  • I have intel mac  10.411, want to access iTunes, won't let me unless upgrade tp itunes 10, but it needs OSX 10.5. I just want to download some music, not upgrade my operating system. It's not THAT old. Ideas?

    As long as you don't need all the bells and whistles of the iTunes Store such as Ping, and don't need to sync an iOS device running iOS 4.x, then iTunes 9.2.1 should work for you. It should be available via Software Update, but if not, you can still get it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    but it would be best to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x.
    Regards.
    P.S. Mac OS X 10.4 was discontinued three and a half years ago, so yes, it's getting rather long in the tooth. Cheers.

  • Updated itunes and ipad but cannot find icloud in settings. how do I get it or where is it?

    I just updated itunes and ipad.  I cannot find icloud in settings.  Where is it or how can I get it?

    It should be there.  Are you sure the iPad is running iOS 5?  You can check in Settings>Genreal>About.  The iOS version is shown under Version.

    I don't really think so. But lots of people are disturbed by even small scratches, so get one. The bit you don't want to scratch is the screen, but it's pretty scratch resistant. If you want, you could get a cover for this bit only:

    and no, i dont need a bluetooth headset. although i have some shure se310 headphones and i dont no if they will fit in the socket or not. do i need an adapter?
    Yes you will, as the headphone recess is non-standard. Griffin and Belkin make adapters you can use.

  • WD Mycloud streaming & iTunes and iPad/phone

    Anyone have experience with WD Mycloud storage device, iTunes and iPad/phone?  Trying to stream music from the storage device to iTunes/etc and it ain't working out so well.

    I've had a not-so-rewarding experience with one of Apple's support-issue-submission forms. It was a reminder that as much as I'd prefer to think otherwise, Apple may be unusual, but it's just another company where it's not possible for everyone to be "above average".
    Frankly, I'd be happy in this case if iTunes dropped an XML file with apps-in-folders, let me mess with it, and then loaded and applied it to shuffle things around. That's one thing I love about OS X, but then that also allows one to be too smart for one's own good. Be careful what I ask for, I guess...
