Store, Play music iCloud, without Fees?

Hello Friends,
Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to store and play to my iPhone 4s, "my - own" music online in the iCloud, (without) having to pay a fee which seems to be the way Apple has iCloud set up via iTunes?
I am looking for space to upload, save to and play from.
I want to free up a few GIG's on my iPhone 4S
Many thanks for your ideas and for taking the time to respond.
Thank you.

Hello,
Yes I am referring to music I have bought over the years (some on LP) and coppied onto my iPhone 4s.
Prety dumb I suppose, I probably should have uploaded the songs to my DropBox, but then how woud I listen to them?
Actually, this might work, I think I will try just one to see if the iphone wil play it.
Thnk you for replying varjak pawI appreciate it!

  • I want to store/play music from a NAS drive is this possible?

    I have iTunes 10.3.1 on my iMac and can broadcast around the house over my Airport Extreme to my two Airport Expresses.  Remote app works great.  Now I want to store music on a NAS drive in the hope I can use that as a server to avoid having to keep my iMac running.  Is this possible?  Hard drive is connected via USB to Airport Extreme.  NAS drive hold both CD's as WAV files and a copy of iTunes 10.3.1.  Remote app simply doesn't see the NAS.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,

  • Whenever I plug my headphones into my macbook pro, only the right earphones works. there's not a fault with the headphones as i have tried numerous pairs and the laptop it's self plays music perfectly without the headphones...any ideas?

    Go in to system preferences-sound and make sure that your audio when your headphones are plugged in isn't panned to one side.

  • Playing music from external hard drive, iTunes

    Hello all,
    After years of wanting to own a MacBook Pro, I finally have one.  This is the first Mac computer that I have owned so I am still new to everything.  One issue that I  am having is an issue that I have had over the years on Windows, that always took me hours to get straight.  I am going to explain  how my iTunes has been setup on all of my previous computers so that hopefully you guys can make sense of what I am trying to accomplish as I could not find a solution on here.
    The way iTunes is set up on my Windows PC's was that all of my music was on my external hard drive.  Whenever I would want to use my music through iTunes, I would have to plug in my external hard drive and once it boots I can now play music.  Without the hard drive plugged in I can only see all the information about my music on iTunes but I cannot play it since the hard drive is disconnected.  I am trying to do this same setup with my macbook but I am having difficulty accomplishing that.  I honestly do not remember how I did it on my Windows PC other than it took forever.  I kept getting duplicates but after trying multiple times, I got it to where there were no duplicates and everything was fine.
    What steps do I go about in order to be able to see all my music information on iTunes but having the actual music file on my external?  I like it this way as it saves my internal hard drive storage and I don't mind having to plug in my external when needed.  I have only attempted once so far to do this procedure on my new MacBook, I failed.  It transferred all of the music and worked just how I wanted it to work.  However, it created a duplicate of every song, which there is thousands of, so I deleted everything and now iTunes doesn't have anything.  Any help is appreciated, sorry for the long post.

    So after messing around for awhile I finally figured it out and got everything working how I want it and had it on my Windows machine.  It took me forever to find the iTunes library file as it was not in its default location on my Windows machine.  I finally figured out what needs to be done and it is really easy like you explained.  I discovered that my issue is: 1. The default location of these common iTunes files is not in its default location likely due to me moving it the last time I did this from my prior Windows machine and 2. My external hard drive needs to be cleaned up, at least my music section.
    What I am going to do in the future is purchase a new external hard drive specifically for my Mac backups and music.  I will have to take a day and transfer my huge library to the new drive so that I ensure everything is organized and kept clean and not make this process more difficult than it should in the future.  I am however missing some of my tracks (noted with the !) I do believe that this is due to me accidentally changing the file paths on my external at some point in the past and left certain files on my Windows internal drive.  This issue is solved though, hopefully.  I appreciate your help.
    BTW:  I am loving my 15" rMBP, I wish the price didn't hold me back as long as it did.  

  • Closing the Macbook screen while playing music.

    Is there a way I can close my Macbook screen, and still play music? Without my computer going to sleep?
    Thanks!
    Justin.

    I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
    1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
    2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
    3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
    i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.
    tomer
    p.s. don't!

  • Can STOR.E TV+ play music without TV being on?

    It seems almost all media players have no built-in display so I was pleased to find the STOR.E. Can someone tell me if the unit's display is comprehensive enough to navigate, select and play audio files without having to switch the telly on?
    On a more general note, are the owners of this player happy with it or does it have any specific problems?
    Grateful thanks for all replies.

    Hello pooksahib,
    yes, it works.
    Ive connected the StorE TV+ via chinch (red+white) cable to the stereo receiver and I was abled to navigate it by using the internal display of the StorE TV+.
    It was not necessary to put the TV on.
    best regards

  • My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this.

    My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this. If siri and alarm work fine, it cant be a internal sound system problem, and it is just for music without headphones plugged in or any other sound system.

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

  • Can i store my music on my device without using my data in my phone plan streaming from the cloud? How do i put what I want on there without waiting for each song to download from the cloud one at a time?

    How can I store the music I listen to on my iphone without streaming it from the cloud and using all my data on my phone plans?  How do I dump it on my phone all at once in itunes rather than waiting for each song to download individually from the cloud?

    What??  You asked how to get all your music on your phone at once rather than downloading it to your phone from iCloud.
    Go to your purchased list in iTunes and download all your music to your iTunes library, as explained in the linked article.  Then sync it all to your phone using iTunes you're done.  The music will be stored locally on your phone and you won't have to download it again in the future.

  • If I buy a 32GB IPhone 4S, will i be able to store my current ITunes library on my phone through ICloud without taking up the 32GB built into my phone?

    If I buy a 32GB IPhone 4S, will I be able to store my current ITunes library on my phone through ICloud without taking up the 32GB built into my phone?

    iCloud does not store music except in two ways.  First, you can redownload music previously purchased from the iTunes store should you ever need to (as long as the songs are still available); which is referred to as "iTunes in the Cloud" (but has nothing to do with your personal iCloud account).  Secondly, you can store your music library in iCloud (up to 25,000 songs) if you subscribe to a fee-based service called iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  If you subscribe to iTunes Match you can keep your music in iCloud, but (at least at the current time) when you listen to this music it is simultaneously downloaded to your phone so it ends up using some of you phone's capacity anyway.

  • Ipod will not play itunes music store purchased music

    I know this topic has been discussed here before, but i still have yet to find a valid answer, so i figured i'd start another thread to see if anyone has found a solution yet. sorry for the repeat subject.
    I have a 30GB ipod (with the 4 buttons above the scroll wheel) which suddenly will not play music which has been purchased from the itunes music store. everything which was imported from CDs plays fine. the songs in question play fine through itunes - both from my library on my G5, as well as from the ipod, so it does not seem to be an authorization problem. i've reset the ipod numerous times, trashed itunes preferences, updated to the latest version of itunes, and updated the ipod itself to the latest software version... all to no avail. when i select an itunes purchased album on the ipod, it simply cycles through, song by song, without playing anything.
    I haven't restored the ipod to the factory settings yet, as i would like to avoid doing so because i will loose some music which i previously only had on a now dead ibook (faulty logic board). besides, i know from reading old posts, other people with the same problem have tried this as well, to no avail.
    can anyone offer any other help/advice on how to remedy this problem? thanks in advance.

    It appears that some songs in the iTunes store that were added to the store since the end of November will not play on 1st generation shuffles. They transfer to the shuffle fine but will not play. These same songs transfer to other iPods and play just fine. Many people are having these problems (see the Apple discussion boards). The only known solution is to burn the tracks to a cd and re-import them into your library (a royal pain in the butt). And, yes, I have tried all of Apple's recommendations and even went through troubleshooting with tech support over the phone. I was told they'd call me in a few days after speaking with their engineers but never heard back from them.
    PLEASE contact apple either by the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/ipod/
    OR by calling the support number:
    1-800-275-2273
    Hopefully, with enough complaints, Apple will be forced to correct the problem. It seems to me (and quite a few other people) that something changed on the encryption/the way they are encoding new music in the store that has made the music incompatible with our shuffles.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

    Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

    I did not hear them state the feature requirements directly in the streaming even but there are statements on the Apple website that clearly say that an iPhone is necessary.  I'm guessing that other than Bluetooth for pairing with the iPhone, it's just not technically possible to fit any other radios such as WiFi or LTE into that form factor or battery capacity.  I don't even remember them mentioning if it had a speaker or could pair directly with bluetooth headphones.
    While I'm hoping that the watch has a reasonable stand-alone feature set, they didn't make it clear what exactly it can and can't do without an iPhone nearby.  I also hope that they communicate this better in the coming days.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I purchased an itrip Auto Pilot and require an app to use it according to my device I was setting up to play music in my car speakers.  I cannot find an app for this in the itunes store.  Help

    I purchased an ITrip Auto Pilot and when attempting to use it to play music from my Iphone through my car speakers, I was promptedd to get an app from the itunes store to enable it to work.  I went to the itunes store and searched for an app and could not find one.  Can anyone tell me the app I need and where to get it for this itrip auto pilot made by Griffin?  It is supposedd to enable my iphone and ipod to play on my FM radio in my car.

    You should go to the web site for the iTrip product and see what app it is, I'll bet there's a link there that will take you right to the app.  Don't worry, as you get more stuff it'll be easier to figure it all out, eventually it'll be plain old common sense that solves these types of issues for you
