Moving all music off of my ipad

I am really new to the whole icloud experience. I am wanting to remove all music, which is 1.9GB, off of my ipad and into icloud. My question is how do I do this?? Any help is greatly appreciated !!!!

Music is not part of the free 5GB associated with iCloud.
iTunes music is restored as part of an iCloud backup restore.
Also, iTunes music can be retreived from purchase history inside the iTunes app on your iOS device.
For more info on what is part of iCloud check out: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
iTunes match is a great solution if you have a lot of non-iTunes music on your device.
For more info on that, check out: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914

How to download with "Show All Music" off

I want to keep "Show All Music" off in my iPhone settings, but if I do so how do I download my own music that wasn't purchased from iTunes from the cloud? I don't see it anywhere.

I have been using iTunes match since beta and have found myself cleaning up my music collection... rather than horde entire CDs for just one song, I'm removing all that extra stuff and really making sure my music collection is just what I want to hear. I also re-thought my playlists so I could get at the music I want and not have to weed through a lot of stuff I only listen too once in a while.
I have my iPhone set to manually sync, as I use it more for running and sports so prefer a certain collection of songs... then I have my iPad set to the cloud so I can access anything anywhere.
I'm happy they have enabled both options and find it quite flexible. I imagine as they get feedback things will improve as well.

You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.

For other music you will require a 3rd party program

I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Click 'OK'.

My iTunes library shows all music but there is an exclamation mark to the left on all entries and there is a message stating "original file could not be found" although all music is on the iPad.

The massage means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. All iTunes has is a database of where the files should be and they are not there.
Try:
- iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
- Redownloading iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do u clear all music off ur ipod without losing it on itunes??

im not sure how 2 clear all music off mi ipod video without losing it off itunes??

Thanks for the clarification. Since I have the ipod
nano and there is no update for that at this time,
there is no reason for me to run the ipod updater.
Well, no, not unless you want to erase the iPod.
But - in the event that I do need to run a new ipod
updater in the future, what's the deal with having to
buy an AC adapter just to update the software? Is
this true? You said “maybe” I need one, which means
I won't know until I start the process of updating
the ipod, that I "might" need to buy an AC adapter?
Is this correct for the nano? Because it did not
come with a AC adapter. What am I suppose to do?
Leave the ipod connected for a few days while I go
out an buy a AC adapter to finish the update? Can
you be more specific? Is an AC adapter needed for
the ipod nano when updating the ipod software?
The Nano is a USB powered device. In order to update or restore it, you will need either an AC adapter or a USB 2 capable computer (USB 1 is not good enough). Basically the device needs a higher power input than usual for this sort of thing, so that it can update its flash memory without risk of damage due to power loss. Thus it requires power input when this is occuring. The AC Adapter is a sure fire way, a USB 2 port is almost as good.

itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

How do you delete all music off Ipod when music is faded on computer screen

Having trouble deleting all music off an old iPod. When I try to delete the music playlist is faded not allowing me to delete anything. I would be very grateful if someone could help me within the next few hours.

Hi obuzz,
Welcome to the Support Communities! One way to delete all of the music off of your iPod classic is to restore it to factory settings. The resource below will explain how.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201540
Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
I hope this information helps ....

How can i delete music off of my ipad 2, how can i delete music off of my ipad 2

I have an ipad 2 it has software vision 4.3.2 how can i delete music off of it. it wont let me when i attach it to my computer and it wont delete directly from the ipad

If its to save room I wouldn't drag the files to the trash. That would get rid of them for good. I know you said you can't by computer, if your syncing with that computer, under music when it's connected, don't sync full library. Go through and select the certain songs you want. If its to delete just off your iPad because you don't have a comp read what ana posted.

HT201269 My PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music does exist on iPad. How do I get the music that had been downloaded from iTunes and copied from my CDs onto new PC from iPad. Would rather not use cloud.

PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music both purchased and copied from CDs is on iPad. How do I get the music back onto the PC without using the cloud. Afraid if sync will wipe all music from iPad.

You would need to download iTunes on comp and download purchases again (you don't have to pay again) and upload your CDs again IF you sync your iPad to your computer it will erase everything

Moved all music files

I recently moved all of my music files to an external hard drive. Since now they are in a different location, itunes can't play the song because it can't find the original file. All my music files are in the same folder, but I have only been able to locate each song one by one. Is there a way I can tell it where all the files went all at once?

Yes. A bit painful. I have redone my entire library because I don't like the way iTunes imports the songs from one album into multiple folders. I own about 800 CDs and decided to import them all. I actually used an external hard drive connected to my laptop to do all the importing so i could watch TV during the tedious process. In the end I copied the entire iTunes music library from the external drive to my main computer (where I sync my iPOD). I loaded it to a partitioned drive. I still have the iTunes folder in the C:\documents\My Music directory, but the iTunes Music folder is empty.
When you are ready, you need to highlight all songs in your existing library and delete them. Say Keep Files as a precaution(although I had already deleted my original folders). You will LOSE all of your playlists, and any ratings, etc. Make sure that under preferences you have UNCHECKed the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". Also set the Advanced preferences to your new library folder on your external drive.
Then you can do File-Add Folder and map it to the new iTunes music folder on your new external drive. It will add all the songs back with their new mapping. You need to decide if what you lose by doing this (playlists, ratings, etc)or remapping songs is the most tedious. I find remapping songs to be very tedious, and I only had a couple of playlists.
When this is finished you may want to recheck the add files to library. Under Edit-Preferences-Advanced, you need to make sure that you point your library to the external iTunes Music folder. Otherwise everytime you import songs, they will go to the My Music folder on your internal hard drive. Not sure if this helps, but I found that this worked fine, and I have about 12,000 songs (43GB) in my library. Make sure your folders on your external drive are exactly how you want them before you start this. (otherwise you can redo the whole process multiple times, like I have...)
My daughter is actually keeping half of her library on the internal drive on her laptop and less desired music on an external drive. We moved the files she wanted to her internal hard drive music folder. Deleted all her songs in iTunes, added the folder to iTunes, created a playlist of ALL the songs on her hard drive. Then added the folder from the external drive (this is really where you need to make sure that iTunes doesn't copy them all again. We blew it the first time...her drive ran out of space...so we had to start over). Now she can play music from her laptop using the playlist we created when she is not connected without hitting alot of missing tracks. When the laptop is connected to the external drive, she can play anything.
Not sure if this will help. Good luck.

How to delete ALL music off your phone?

Not sure if I've got the right part of the forum, so sorry if I'm in the wrong part.
Basically wondering if someone could give me a step by step guide on how to delete all my music off my phone at the one time? Beyond frustrated with iTunes and the iOS 7 update and as petty as it seems, it's making me start thinking of going elsewhere after my contract is up.
Also, is it just me or can you not click and drag on a single song to take it from iTunes to your phone?
Apologies if this doesn't make any sense but I'm ill and half asleep.

If you synced it with iTunes, just un-sync the music and that will remove it.

Moving all music in my itunes to a new computer

You should always have a backup, as computers rarely announce their pending failure.

HT201269 moving all music from iphone 3gs to iPhone 5

I am upgrading my 3ga phone to the 5 and before I started I synced my old phone to the cloud. I went to start up my new phone and everything was restored from my old phone except my music. Only 5 songs out of 161 songs were transfered and now they are no where to be found....can anyone help?

If the missing songs are purchased from itunes then download them again http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If the missing songs are songs that were on your computer then they should still be there just sync the songs to your phone. For information on how to sync music read this, this or this.

Okay, doing my best to ignore the EXTREMELY annoying font you chose to use.
Is there a reason why you did not create a backup of your media and other important files before switching from Vista?
It is the users responsibility to back up their media, it is NOT Apple's responsibility.
When you purchase CD's or DVD's, if you lose them, you repurchase them. Same deal with digital media.
If you have a backup of your media, simply copy the files from the backup to your computer.
If you still have access to your old computer, simply copy the files from it to your new computer.
