ITunes, iCloud and purchased music
I am totally confused about what is going on with iTunes. I thought with the advent of iClould all my purchased music would be available to any device (desktop or IOS.) Now Match comes along and the in the iCloud Status column it says "waiting" for all my music, both ripped and purchased. Please help.
Look at these support articles and get unconfused.

I purchased a itunes card an downloaded the new itunes version on my PC. I then went to the itunes Store and purchased music. Now I'm trying to sync it onto my ipod touch and it is not working. What am I doing wrong?
What exactly happens when you place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes?

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes? I thought the purpose of purchasing from itunes when you have icloud is that you don't have to download each song/album that you want to hear. I get like 5-10 songs from the last two albums i have downloaded, but not the entire album.
Are you talking about iTunes Match? If so, you don't have to download entire albums, all you have to do is play the songs you want to hear.
If you're asking why you have to download the music at all rather than just playing it from iCloud, the music has to be stored locally on your device, either in permanent or cache memory, in order for your device to play it. -
I no longer have the PC that had my CD library and purchased music on iTunes. I am now on another PC and managed to download my purchased iTunes music etc. Is there a way on iTunes that I can get back my old CD music library without ripping again ? Earlier back up is corrupted. Thank you in advance. No longer have my old iPod but getting new one.
If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.
For the future see Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.

ITunes Folder 'damaged' lost all playlists and purchased music
Hey,
a couple of days ago I was on itunes and it compeltely randomly came up with an error message saying something along the lines of itunes folder damaged and it froze. When i rebooted itunes, all my playlists and purchased music had gone, along with all my podcasts etc
Also in my itunes folder there is a file that said 'itunes music - damaged'
I have all my music on an external harddrive but was just wondering how i can get it all back?
MikeThis article on how to re-create your library gives one way that is most likely to restore the most stuff. It also links to other methods if that doesn't work.

I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Moving to a new computer. How do I move my Apps and Purchased music over?
Can anyone help me understand what have to do to move my Apps and Purchased music to a new computer? There seem to be lots of articles about it but no single set of steps. I will transfer all my non-iTunes library and rebuild the library, etc. But how do I get the apps and purchases moved over? And how to make sure I don't reset everything and not be able to get it back? I have all my purchased music on the iPod.
iPod Touch 3.1does this also take care of the apps?
Yes.
Tell me if I am wrong, but if I set hook up the iPod to a different computer, does it not wipe everything out before setting up the new partnership?
Confirmation is required before anything is deleted from the iPod in that case. Items are only deleted without warning if the iPod is set to sync automatically with an iTunes library which that content has been deleted from.

Hi- I am trying to download music from my computer to my ipod. I have an itunes account and the music is on the computer but it won't go to ipod, it keeps telling me I need to download an upgrade but the upgrade does not complete itself and after like 2 hours displays an error sign. How do I fix this so I can get the music to my ipod. Both ipod and computer(toshiba, windows 7) are brand new. Help!! I am not technologically smart!
I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes.
All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them. -
I have an ipod and latly I can't open iTunes store and download music when I push that icon it only shows an 10.0 upgrade i<ve upgraded and woun't me bypass and get songs. what do I do?

I dowloaded an album to my iPad from iTunes and now I have no iTunes app and all music on my iPad has disappeared. My iMac won't let me sync because it thinks all my music is already installed/
You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

ITUNES folder and My Music Folder
My ITUNES folder doesn't appear to have as much music in it as My Music folder does.
Can I delete the ITUNES folder contents and reload My Music folder into it (Via ITUNES using Add A Folder - The folder being My Music)?
Are the files linked between the ITUNES folder and My Music or does it duplicate the music MP3 files inside the ITUNES folder? Thank you.This doesn't quite address the question you've asked, but take a look at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17267509#17267509 for background.
I'd suggest if you're going to use iTunes you put all the media inside the iTunes Media folder rather than having some at the My Music. Without knowing more details I can't tell if the reason that My Music is that much bigger than iTunes is because everything has been duplicated, or because you also have lots of files in WMA format. I also can't say if deleting the current contents of iTunes and then reimporting wouldn't throw away stuff that only exists in iTunes at present.
It is much better to throw away stuff you've checked you don't need than to throw away too much and then discover you've made a mistake.

Issues with itunes/icloud and music on my Iphone 5 and PC
I had to set up my laptop (windows based pc) as my main itunes device because my desk top died. I installed intunes (the newest version and icloud as well.) thought I had everything set up. I then redownloaded all the purchased music from the itunes store and also moved all my own music (cdpurchases for many years) from an external device to the laptop and put it all back into itunes. I set up all my playlists the way I wanted to and then synced my phone (with the new IOS 7) to the laptop. when I got finished syncing my phone all the music appeared to be on my phone yet a lot of it had the cloud next to it and most of that did not have the album art that I so painstakingly over numerous hours made sure was on each album. Itunes used to let me cut and paste album art that was not available from itunes into the get info section but now no matter what I did it would not install. I was playing my music at work yesterday and a lot of the music with the icloud next to it would stop and start repeatedly. I got home and deleted Icloud from my system which of course disabled the find my phone function. but when I synced my phone after, it installed all the music and the album art. Has anyone else run into these issues?? Were you able to fix the problem without deleting Icloud?
I think Icloud is a great idea but execution *****.The songs listed in your iTunes library as "iCloud" probably refer to songs in "iTunes in the Cloud", meaning they can be re-downloaded from the iTunes store from the Purchased list on your phone. They are not in your personal iCloud account and do not automatically sync to your phone using iCloud.
If you want to download this music to your phone, open the iTunes app, tap More at the bottom, tap Purchased, tap Music, tap Not on This iPhone at the top, then tap the download symbol (cloud with downward facing arrow).
If you don't want to see the "Cloud" designated music in your iTuens library, you can turn this off by going to iTuens Preferences>Store and unchecking "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".
