Store selected music in iCloud, not on iOS device

My iPod touch is almost full - I don't have enough space to upgrade to the latest iOS 5 version. Most of the storage is music that I rarely listen to. Since all of my music is already being backed up to iCloud, is there a way to specify which music I want to keep on my iOS device? That would give me more storage for other things, like apps and the new version of iOS 5.

Songs that you bought on iTunes which do not have the cloud symbol next to it are already downloaded to your device (and of course using space of your device). If you no longer want them on your device, you could simply delete them from your device and re-download them again.

How do i permanently get my music from iCloud to my IOS device

I want to be able to listen to my music on planes or where there is no internet. How do I permanently download all my music to my devices?

I have this question, too.
There has to be a better (ie, easier) way than clicking each-and-every song individually to start the download. But all of my searches (and I'm usually pretty good at ferretting out answers) have come up null.
So -- how do you "select all" and download from iCloud to your hard drive (laptop, not iOS device) with one click?
TIA

How can I get my photos stored on iPad back if I do not own iOS device anymore?

Hi,
I need to get my photos stored on iPad back.
I do not own iOS device anymore.
I think I have been synced the photos with the cloud but not sure. The same with updating to iOS5. It was iPad 2.
I have installed the iCloud for Windows, but do not see the photos downloaded back to my windows notebook. Maybe I should turn on syncing somehow or it should start automatically after I run iClpud app and set photo syncing option on?
If it's not help, do you have any other ideas?
For example, could it be helpful if I try to get someones else iPad and login to app store with my account to see my old photo?
Thanks.

In iTunes I see I hade a backup in Dec'11, so I gues I had used iCloud. Any ideas why my photos are not downloading back via iCloud for Windows?

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive. Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application? Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear. Many thanks for the help.

2) iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses. For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac. On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them. I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

ICloud syncs to iOS devices but not OSX devices on my home network.

While setting up Photostream, I discovered that iCloud does not seem to push to OSX devices, but it does to iOS devices.
For example, I set up Aperture on my MacPro. I enabled Photostream on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. When I take a photo on my iPhone, Photostream automatically pulls it to my iPad. On my Mac, nothing happens. All devices are on the same network.
Looking more into this, I tested my iCal sync, and that also does not push. I can "Refresh" the calendars and it finds them, but it will not push.
It is important to know...
1. My mac WILL sync Photostream if I disable and re-enable it, or if I disconnect my internet and reconnect it. It just doesnt automatically sync - even after hours.
2. My brother came over with his MacBook Pro and iPhone. His MacBook Pro has the exact same behavior as mine.
3. I have tried:
     -Creating a new user on my computer and trying there.
     -Opening up router port 5223 and set it to forward to my MacPro. No success.
     -Using iPhoto to sync Photostream - no go.
     -Resetting Photostream.
Please help!!! This issue defeats the entire purpose of Photostream for me!
Thanks,
Adam

Yes this worked perfectly, there is a tense moment when all your calendar appointments disappear, but once you sign and restart calendar, they all reappear.
Thanks Csound1!

Pages/Numbers docs on iCloud but not on iOS devices?

Hello,
I had been using Pages and Numbers for some time and when iCloud came out I synced all my existing documents from both. Currently, they reside normally in iCloud (since I can access them from iCloud.com) but they are no longer on either my iPhone or iPad. I cannot figure out how to get them back either.
My workaround so far has been to download them onto my Macbook from iCloud.com and then put them into iTunes...But everytime I do this the setting for using iCloud (Settings - Apps - Numbers/Pages) changes from Yes to No automatically.
I'm kind of stuck at this point. I've even tried redownloading Pages to see if I would get prompted to pull stuff from iCloud back onto the iOS device.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Same issue here.
My workaround:
Email the documents/spreadsheets to myself
Open email on the other device.
Click the attachment.
Select "Open with Numbers (or Pages)".
I would prefer that they sync automagically.

With iCloud activated on iOS devices, how do I manage syncing with iTunes?

Guess it's time to take a class at the Apple Store (there's an app for that)
Two Questions:
Question 1
I have turned on iCloud in my iPad and iPhone5 for contacts, calendars, reminders, Safari, Passbook (iPhone only), and Find my iPhone/iPad.
I am not using iCloud for backups, email or photo stream because for many reasons I choose to avoid WiFi.In the iPhone User guide (page 57) it says, "if you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars.....don't also sync them to your device using iTunes."
When I set up the devices in iTunes, i checked "Automatically sync contacts, calendrs, bnookmarks, notes and email." Now I want to modify that setup. However, if I simply plug in the devices to the computer I'm going to get an automatic sync and I understand that can unnecessarily duplicate data.
How to resolve this?
Can I just turn OFF the iCloud features on each device, attach the device to the computer, and reconfigure iTunes to stop the auto-sync of the contacts, etc.? Then after ejecting the device, I turn the iCloud features back ON?
Question 2
I've been downloading apps, music, and books in iTunes and then syncing them to my devices. How does this change with iCloud?
On each device I've gone into Settings-Store and activated Automatic downloads of Music, Apps, Books.
Now, when I go to my PC and log in to iTunes to order an app, book, music, do I still have to attach each device to the computer in order to obtain the downloads?
What about apps I obtain directly from a device?

For your first issue, without connecting your iPad open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will disable automatic syncing when you connect your iPad, allowing you to change your settings without syncing. Next, connect your iPad, click on the name of your iPad on the left side of iTunes and to to the Info tab and uncheck the data you no longer want to sync with iTunes (such as contacts and calendars). When done making you changes, click Apply at the bottom (this will sync your phone with the new settings). If you prefer, you can then go back to iTunes preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.
You will continue to sync your iTunes media such as music and apps with iTunes as you did before. These are not stored or synced with iCloud (although you can redownload media purchased from the iTuens and app stores in the future if you need to; however, this has nothing to do with your iCloud account).
If you have enabled automatic downloads for your Apple ID, when you purchase apps, music or books in iTunes using this Apple ID it will automatically be downloaded to your iPad. If you purchase them on your iPad, they will be automatically added to your iTunes library when you sync your iPad.

Need help getting songs from iTunes to iCloud and to ios devices.

I just added some CDs onto my iTunes account on my MacBook and they won't transfer to my iPhone or iPad. The titles of the songs show up on my IOS devices within the Music app but they are grayed out and won't play. I'm using iCloud and Music Match. Hopefully something simple. Thanks in advance for your help!

UPDATE - 20 minutes at the Genius Bar and it was resolved. The tech that helped me out had never seen anything like it before but he and another tech starting looking up stuff on one of the iPads that they have which provides them with solutions to all kinds of problems. He tried a few things on my Mac and then kept switching pages on his iPad for solutions. I'm guessing it said "try this and if that doesn't work then go to the next step". Eventually he got it to work so obviously there is a "fix" out there for issues related to iMatch, iCloud, and the Moutain Lion update.
I asked him what all he did to fix it but he said it was too complicated to explain even though it was very simple. Oh well, rest assured that it can be corrected and hopefully someone will be able to post the fix on here so as to save people trips to an Apple Store. One last thing, nothing had to be removed or reloaded in my iTunes account. I hope this helps you out some.

Ad says purchased music automatically pushes to all iOs devices when on Wifi. Didn't happen. Why?

iCloud says it will push purchased music to all your iOS devices as long as your on wifi. I was and it didn't. Why?

Also my settings in store are set to automatic and I still had to go to the cloud and check for new purchases. It was there but had to manually do it. Confused as to why. Please help!

Multiple iCloud accounts, single iOS device.

I have one Apple ID, and only one iOS device - a 4th generation iPod touch. Can I setup multiple iCloud accounts? If so, how?

You can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device. You can create two additional "secondary accounts" by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with two new Apple IDs.
Secondary accounts will only sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes. The can't be used for be used for iCloud Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents and Data, iCloud Backup or Find My iPod. Also, mail in secondary accounts will be fetch only, not push.

HT204150 iCloud Contacts with iOS devices

I've tried each step under "Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts update or setup issues with iOS devices" several times to no avail. I can't get icloud to update Contacts on my iPhone 4. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

HT5927 Using apple configurator with supervised devises, enabling iCloud/ find my iOS device (after being supervised), backing up that supervised / find my iPhone enabled image, --issue; unable to apply back up to any iOS device (including the orign. devi

Senario:
Need to manage 500 Enterprise iPads
Requirements;
1) Trackable via Find my iOS device (we have 500 iPads and with the 100 device limit per iCloud account for Find my iOS device limit we have 5+ iCloud accounts).
2) Individually named iPads for locating and sending commands to wipe, lost mode, etc.. on map per Find my iOS device (we uniquely name them in Apple Configurator either by using the "sequensetially numbering feature", or by creating individual back ups (yes, 450) with the name specified in the image).
3) Find my iOS device feature enabled in base Prepared or Supervised image (using one of our 5+ iCloud accounts) (image can be created during prepared stage, or in supervised stage) - tried both and have the same issue - which I am getting to...
4) VPP codes for paid apps (all VPP codes purchased with generic account which is the Apple Admin account for VPP purchases). Apple Configurator is set up under a different/ unique Apple account (i.e. not VPP admin account) and not logged into iTunes for any purchases/ services).
Issue: Can not do any following senarios;
A)
1) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Prepare stage (added during preparing stage)
2) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Supervised stage (added after supervising, and then backing up that supervised and iOS Find my iOS device enabled)
B) 1) Apply master image to any Supervised iPad (under senario step A) or senario step B)), including the (Supervised or/ Prepared iPad that was used to create the maset iOS 7 image
Result = fail with Apple generic code "4" ; This is obviously due to Find my iOS device feature enabled during image capture.
According to Apple (see Apple Config. Help) the 'Activation lock' (new feature in iOS 7) will not be enabled on a supervised device when an iCloud account with "Find my iDevice" is enabled. Their "help files" seem to imply after the device is Supervised, and a person (presumably and end user) adds thier own iCloud account with Find my iOS device enabled the activation lock is not enabled and erasing/ reconfiguring with Apple Configurator will not cause reimaging probhlems such as requiring the end user's credentials to reconfigure the device using Apple Configurator (i.e. you won't need the end user's credentials).
Needed: To be able to configure Supervised iPads with iCloud account (Enterprised owned iCloud account) configured on the basse image, which has Find my iOS device enabled, and to be able to apply that base image to all Enterprise iPads without generic apple error code 4 issue.

Hi all
I am trying to replicate these steps in my environment but I am having trouble getting an iCloud backup restored to a supervised device. Can someone clarify the steps? The parts I am unsure on are:
1) Do you Prepare in Configurator with all the institution owned apps? Or do you install them after restoring the iCloud backup?
2) After entering the personal AppleID to restore the iCloud backup, the setup wizard prompts for the Institution/Configurator AppleID, there is an option to 'Skip Now'. Do you enter in the password for the institution account? or do you skip that step?
3) What exactly is on the screen in the 'mini setup assistant' after the restore when you Refresh with Configurator?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Subscribed calendars appear on iMac, not on IOS devices

I subscribe to two sports calendars. The data appear perfectly on my iMac but no longer on my IOS devices. Each of the subscribed calendars is check-marked and appears under iCloud calendars in Calendar on the iMac. Previously they synced fine to the IOS devices via iCloud but no longer. I have tried turning off Calendar in System Preferences>iCloud, then turning it back on. No change. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

I finally got it to work.
Here are the steps I took.
1. On your Mac, make sure all calendars are stored on icloud.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5029
2. On your iDevices, go to Settings - > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Here you will see your main account that accesses mail, contacts, bookmarks, etc.
    Any other accounts will access mail only.
3. Scroll to bottom of list - > Add account - > Other
4. choose Calendars - > add CalDAV Account
5. Enter Server name
    (if an iCloud account, just put me.com. This is where I was stumped for awhile)
    Enter user name, password, and description. This creates a new calendar.
6. On your iDevices, go to Settings - > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Check to see if indeed you have another account that is Calendars, Reminders
7. On your iDevices, go to Calendar app
    Show Calendars (a list)
8. On the main calendar, clear checkmark from previously subscribed calendar.
    (this eliminates viewing duplicates and entries that do not update)
9. On the next calendar below (in the list), put a checkmark next to your new one.
    Remove other checkmarks in the list from ones you do not want.
    The calendars should now update automatically.
    (My iPad updated almost immediately.
    My iPhone took longer but did do it eventually.
    You can always check iCloud storage to force refreshing sooner.)
