Need to truly download music (not stream) from iCloud
So from everything I have observed since updating to ios6, and I have read, you can stream your songs from iCloud to your ios6 device, and they then appear to be "downloaded" from that point, but if I want to truly download an album or artist, say before I go on a trip where there is no cell service, the only way I can see to do that is to do the "old fashion" way of hooking up to a computer with my library and manually copying the music. Anything I'm missing? I sure like the convenience of not having to march up to the office to load up music before hitting the road... Is this yet another example of Apple taking away a feature without thinking of the implications of the users?
You aren't missing anything
Want to load specific tracks and albums do so via ITunes.
However if you are out and about and have a desire to listen to a track you forgot to load well you can stream via iCloud provided you have stable 3G/LTE or can get to a Wifi Hot spot.
When you have played the track it remains on your IDevice.
What does mean is that you save wasting storage capacity on your iDevice.

I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.
The ""not recognized for on-line use". error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure. If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes. -
Is there a way to transfer music not purchased from the iTunes store from my ipod to my imac? Also, is it possible to move photos from ipod to imac? My computer was stolen so lost it all...have learned the lesson of backing up the hard way!

how to transfer Ipad music NOT purchased from Apple to MacBook Air. Answers found in the Community does not seem to deal with similar questions posted to the Community.
You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

IMac not streaming from Match, says cannot find location
I have most of my music on an external harddrive which was connected to my iMac. All those songs are uploaded or matched to my Match. I have unplugged the harddrive (since my iMac does not like firewire and will freeze, another issue completely) but now my computer will not stream the songs from my Match that were read through this computer. Songs that were uploaded/matched through my old work computer play fine on this computer, but it seems to be looking for these songs as if they were still connected to the harddrive and completely ignores Match.
I have turned off Match and turned it back on to rescan and it's still doing it. Everything plays fine through my iPhone 5.
Am I just not understanding how this works or am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.iTunes Match does not change your local library without specific instruction.
So your local library will look for Songs on the original 'now disconnected' drive.
It is very important that you make a full secure backup of your original Song files, once complete, try the following:
1. Create a Smart Playlist with the conditions, Location is 'on this computer' and Media Kind is music.
2. Select 4-5 Songs as a trial and delete the local Songs.
3. They will vanish from the playlist - find them in the library and play them (they will stream from iCloud).
If you are content, you can remove all Songs from the playlist, leaving a library that will look to the iCloud for these Songs. -
Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions
1. Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
2. Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
3. Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back. -
Does downloading music and films from iTunes use up data?
My broadband internet data plan at home is not unlimited. I have an allowance of 20GB a month. When downloading music and films from iTunes on my PC, will it eat up internet data? It is important that I keep within the limits of my data plan as I am short of money.
Yes. All your Internet traffic is using up that allowance. Each file you download will use up its own size, plus some handshaking data, and the traffic caused by browsing the store to look for it in the first place.

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
Help Please!The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer. -
I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks
Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2
Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/
