Lightning symbol next in the cloud for music

Every so often I get a lightning in the cloud next to Music menu. I have to click on it to make it go away. Very annoying.

Hi,
THe lightning bolt symbol indicates that you are not connected to iTunes Match. Click on symbol to try and get connection. Initially you will see cloud with lines before cleat cloud symbol appears.

Unless Apple makes an official announcement we aren't allowed to speculate on this forum. You can find plenty of that if you do a web search for: itunes iCloud europe

I want to solely use the cloud for music & media...

I noticed that many of my songs and movies are being stored both on my hard-drives AND in the cloud via iTunes Match. I realize that each file in the Match cloud has to reside either on a computer or via an iTunes Store purchase, but I have many files that are on ALL of my computers drives. Should I divide the files across my various drives and computers? Is there an option for storing EVERYTHING in the cloud? Even with external hard-drives I am still running out of start-up disk space!
Before I go on a deleting spree -- I ask the conventional wisdom for some tips & advice...

The device that AT&T has provided to you may....or may not....be able to be configured to allow your Time Capsule to function as the "main" router on the network.
Even if it can....AT&T will likely not support this type of configuration
Check with AT&T first to see if this is possible....and also whether they will support this type of configuration in the event of Internet connection difficulties.
If the AT&T device that you have cannot be configured to allow the Time Capsule to function as the main router, AT&T may have a simple modem that could be used for this purpose. That's another question for AT&T.

How to use the cloud for music

How do I upload part of my music to the cloud to share with my laptop when away from the house?

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

Why does my ipod touch 5th gen not charge when plugged into my computer? (it keeps stuttering(lightning symbol next to bettery goes on and off literally every second))

so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.

Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

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.

HT201272 I recently added my entire music library to the "cloud" for an annual fee. Now I can't listen to anything unless I have an internet connection. I want my library back on my laptop, the whole thing (original laptop got erased). How do I do this?

Hello ggjsa,
Congratulations on your new laptop! I understand that you have copied your old iTunes Library to your new computer, but you are still not seeing the music. I recommend reviewing Part 5 in the section titled "External drive" in the following article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
If you are still having trouble transferring the library using this method, you may want to try using the Home Sharing method in the article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

So am I to understand that all of my historical purchases through the iTunes store will now be available to me via the cloud for use on all of my devices...?

I have been reading and re-reading about air play and iTunes in the cloud for some time and I am eagerly awaiting its full functionality. What I am not seeing which does bum me out a little is the aspect of all of my historical purchases from the iTunes store. I have made many music purchases from a computer long ago gone and not to be found. I want to know if all of those purchases will once again be available to me via the cloud. I would venture to say that Apple knows all of my buying history with great detail. I know I am to be held responsible for not making complete back ups of everything I ever bought through them I have lost a chunck of music and video over time. Will these purchases going back many years of iTunes shopping be returned to me via a cloud service...? I know for me, that will make jumping in to any pay for use fee a lot more palatable if I can restore my old purchases like some long lost present now found again behind the couch...

"You can also download your past iTunes purchases. Where you want, when you want."

HT1689 i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks

It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

I want a soundbar for my 6th generation nano but am having trouble finding a compatible device. I'd like more than a dock, ideally a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I'll only use the soundbar for music, not TV home theater. Any suggestions?

Sync.

I want to keep songs on my main iTunes but remove them from the Cloud to make more room in the Cloud for new stuff. HOW?

Are these purchased songs from iTunes? If so they do not count against your cloud storage.

HT1296 is there a way to NOT synch album artwork - I'd rather save the space for music...

is there a way to NOT synch album artwork - I'd rather save the space for music...I have an Ipod Nano 4GB (yes it's old)

This is the iPod Touch forum.
Note that the artwork associated with your albums is probably less than 1% of the size of your media files themselves.

HT201269 My old iPhone (I no longer have) is still an active device on my iCloud backup list. Is it safe to delete it? Can I be sure everything on the cloud for that old device has been transferred?

The only way the backup from ilcoud has been transferred to a new apple device would be if YOU restored the new device with the mentioned backup. There is nothing 'safe' about you deleting this backup if in fact you have not restored the new device with this backup.
Good luck Friend.

Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.

Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.
