No tick box for music in iTunes preferences for setting up iCloud

Ok I'm new to icloud and now want to set up my mac itunes library for another device. When I follow the oinstructions on how to set up icloud I get stuck on step 3 i.e. the step where you're suppose to open itunes - preferences - store and then check music, apps and books. I can only check two boxes (books and apps) and no box for music appears. What am i doing wrong or what setting needs changed?

According to this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17681194#17681194
There is a problem and apple is working on it. I am having the same issue. So frustrating!

  • Aperture does not show tick box for shared photo stream as promised on the help screen

    I try to configure Aperture for iCloud shared Photo Stream. According to the help screen, I should select Preferences and see a panel with 4 tickboxes. The first three relate to My Photostream and work fine on all my devices. The crucial fourth tick box for sharing with others however does not show however. What else should I set-up to see the 4th tick box ? 

    You need:
    'A Mac with OS X v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later'

  • When i have a ticked box for Java script i'm still not able to acess things on the i player. Why is this?

    I have tried to load Java Script so that i can watch things on the BBC i player. I have followed the instructions for loading Java Script as told on the BBC i player i.e i have a ticked box for Java Script but i still can't watch things on the i player. I seem to be doing something wrong, but not sure what it is!

    What error are you getting when you try ? If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. Or you could downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

  • Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version

    Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

    Re:
    The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
    Thanks

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • My contact list on my iPod has gone. In iTunes the info section for contacts doesn't show anything  like 'family' - just tick box for all contacts. Any ideas on how to correct this? iPod is 3 yrs old...

    My ipod no longer shows any contacts from my address book. iTunes when syncing in the info section - contacts - only shows the all contacts tick box, not categories such as 'family', 'friends' etc.
    Any thoughts on why this is please?
    Am suspecting icloud as a possible culprit.....
    Thanks

  • Tick boxes for text formula

    Hello
    could someone please help me
    i have a table with names events and tick boxes and this works perfectly.
    i would like if the tick box is ticked, the name is placed in a second table.
    however,it will not place the names, only numbers
    this formula does numbers fine, just not names instead it leaves a '0'... could someone please help?
    =SUMIF(Events :: D2,TRUE,Events :: C2)
    this one leaves a TRUE or FALSE depending if it is ticket or not
    =IF(Events :: D2,TRUE,Events :: C2)
    Many thanks

    Amber,
    You seem to have posted nearly identical questions in the Mac iWork discussion and the iPad iWork discussion. In both cases, you are proposing a function that is designed to return a numeric value, a count or a sum, and you are wondering why you don't get a text result.
    Take a look at the LOOKUP functions. They will return content such as names, as you are seeking.
    What you are looking for is in the "moderate difficulty" realm of Numbers programming. Not simple, but not terribly difficult either.
    My solution would be to add one column to the main table for each subtable. i would program each of these subtable-specific new columns to display a sequence number whenever the corresponding event checkbox is TRUE for that row. Then in the "Event 1" subtable, in the row where I want the first name for that event to be transferred from the main table, I would use LOOKUP to find the number "1" in the sequence column for Event 1 in the main table. In the next row, I would return the name with the number "2" in the Event 1 column of the main table, etc.
    If this approach sounds like what you are looking for, I'd be happy to work out some formulas for you.

  • How to change my apple id for setting up icloud

    I just changed my Apple ID. Now I want to set up iCloud on my iPhone. But it is defaulting to my old Apple ID and I can't find a way to change it.

    Thank you for your reply
    I wonder why I can't use @me.com as my primary ID and address? That's a little foolish, if you ask me....

  • I am trying to synch my recently added music to my ipod via imported cd via library, but cant find tick box for this anymore. please help

    I am trying to synch my recently added music via importing cd in library, the cd is in my itunes, but will not synch. When i had this problem before, a tick was not in the 'synch recently added music' box, but i cant find this now, my model number is MB528BT. Please help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Unable to re-load My Music from iTunes after re-set

    Muic files have an exclamation mark beside song.  Won't sync.
    Other then this I don't know were the music is and what to do to
    reloaded to my iphone 4.
    Thanks for imput.

    The exclaimation point means that iTunes can no longer locate the song on your hard drive.  (Perhaps you music was located on an external drive that is not unplugged, or your music folder was relocated on your hard drive.)  If you double-cick on the song you will get a prompt to manually locate it.  Until iTunes can locate the songs it cannot sync them to your phone. 

  • Connected ipod, no prompt for setting up icloud in itunes

    Per Apple: "To update to iOS 5, just connect your device to your Mac or PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes."
    No automatic onscreen instructions when I connected my ipod. It is possible that, in the past, I had requested to "not be reminded again" whenever the update prompt appeared. Not sure what the next step is.

    After you connect your iPod Touch (Only 3rd/4th Generation) to iTunes, choose the Summary Tab. In there click Check for Update button.

  • Bought an Airport Express in Slovenia, planning to use it in Moscow. When configuring, Moscow is not an option for location. I ticked Ljubljana for set up; got green light, but network not working. Is choice of city the problem?

    While on vacation, I bought an Airport Express in Slovenia, planning to use it in my Moscow apartment. I plugged everything in, seem to have followed the directions properly for configuration - except for one thing.  Moscow does not come up as an option for location. So I tried ticking Ljubljana (Slovenia) as location (since that's where I bought it). The cycle seemed to have worked, I got a green light on the Airport Express, but the network didn't work.  I tried going in to change the location, and chose something called Universal, but the network still didn't work.
    Is the fact that Moscow doesn't come up among the options going to be a problem?  Or is it possible I am doing something else wrong?
    Anyone have any insights? 

    AirPort Utility for the iPhone, iPad, etc does not support the older version of the AirPort Express that you have.
    Try installing AirPort Utility on the Lenovo laptop to see if you can configure the AirPort Express that way.
    If the laptop runs XP SP3 or Vista SP2.....use AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows - Support - Apple
    Windows 7....use AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - Support - Apple
    Remember that the SB5101 modem must be fully reset before it will associate correctly with the AirPort Express. That means pressing the reset button on the back of the modem (if present) and powering off the modem for at least 30 minutes, then connecting it to the AirPort.

  • Best practice for setting up iCloud with multiple devices using a single AppleID

    Hi there
    Me and my wife have an iPhone each, and are looking at getting both of us using iCloud. The problem is that we only use one Apple ID for our music library.
    Is getting a separate Apple ID necessary for each device on iCloud, or can multiple devices have seperate settings/photos/music, etc.?

    Using different Apple ID for iCloud is not necessary, but in most cases it is recommended.
    You can however choose to use separate Apple IDs for iCloud and continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes, thereby being able to share all your purchases of music, apps and books.
