My iTunes library in iCloud won't connect to my computer

Went to open iTunes this morning and all my music stored in iCloud won't sync up with my computer so I can't listen to my music. When I open iTunes, the iCloud symbol has a little lightning bolt in it and then just shows that it is trying to connect but won't. All my music is faded out in gray so I cannot play any of it. Anybody else having this problem?

In the menu bar, under Store, see if it says "Turn Off iTunes Match."  Mine did, I selected it and: boom! I connected to icloud and could either play or download all my songs.  Now, it says "Turn On iTunes Match." Hope this helps!

  • HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv.  I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.

    I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house.  I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer.  Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?

    Version:
    iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
    Are all the devices on the same physical network?  I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
    If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
    If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
    Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?

  • Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

    Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

    You can download the music from iCloud using the download arrows besides the songs - see the iTunes help:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides anyprevious iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

    Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
    I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • My laptop is about to die. Can I store store my entire itunes library in icloud, then access it when I get a new computer?

    My laptop is about to die.  Can I store my entire itunes library in icloud, then access it when I get a new computer?

    That will take ages, buy an external drive (or a large enough flash drive) and copy it there, do it soon.

  • Can I move my itunes library to icloud so i'm not using my computers memory?, can I move my itunes library to icloud so i'm not using my computers memeory?

    I currently have my itunes library saved to my hard drive but my computer is super slow because of my library.  I purchased itunes match so I can share my music which i think is great, but I thought that it would keep my library in the cloud and not on my computer.  So the question is can i save my library to the cloud only?  My library use to be on an external which died and I lost so much music that I had and was only able to recover from the CD's I still had.  I don't want to rely on an external again.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks,

    Hello dreid20,
    Indeed, you can move your iTunes Library to a network volume. The only stipulation to keep in mind is that you'll need to be connected to this volume before launching iTunes for it to function properly.

  • How to back up itunes library to Icloud

    How do I back up my Itunes library to Icloud?

    - Only your iTunes purchases are automatically backed up to iCloud.
    - You can "backup" your non-Tunes purchased music only by subscribing to iTunes match
    - Photos and videos in your iPod's Camera Roll album are included in your iCloud backup as wall as app data.

  • Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do I do?

    Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do i do?!

    The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID.  First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes.  Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed.  If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID.  Then, connect the iPad.  Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice.  Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
    If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
    If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated.  Post back and we'll go from there.

  • HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Apple tv won't connect to my computer

    I just got ATV2 for my husband for his birthday. It connects to his computer just fine, and initally connected to my computer (we both have macs), but now it won't connect to my computer. I have updated my software, turned on home-sharing, etc, but it still won't connect! Any ideas??
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check you are using the same homesharing ID and password as your husband.
    Check your firewall is allowing access for iTunes.
    Check your computer is on the same network as the Apple TV.

  • IPod Won't Connect to PC Computer

    I have had some issues I wasn't able to fix concerning my iPod Classic and my PC computer. Until recently, my iPod 120G Classic would not connect to my computer. I have downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, I've tried resetting it, and I've restarted my computer a couple times. I cannot restore it cause it won't connect to my computer. I've tried Disk Mode as well as changing USB ports. This didn't work. What happens is that it says USB not readable or something similar to that on the connection for half a second than disappears. This has been occuring ever since I synced a movie to my Classic. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

  • Ipod shuffle second generation won't connect to my computer

    I'm operating on Window 8.1 and my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen won't connect to my computer. My USB port and cord are working because it does make the connection noise when I plug it in but it does not show up in My Comptuer or in My Devices on iTunes. This is the second iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen I've had this issue with.

    If you have not already, as a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub).  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected, if used.  If it's a laptop, connect its power adapter so that it's not running on battery power.  If the shuffle's power switch is ON, put it in the OFF position.  Power up the computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself.  This is a test for possible interference between connected USB devices.  Any difference? 
    If that does not help (or you already tried), does your computer have USB 3.0 ports (instead of 2.0).  If so, and if you happen to have an older USB 2.0 hub that is powered (has its own power supply), try connecting the hub to your computer and your shuffle to the hub.
