Streaming iTunes from the Cloud

I was under the assumption that once your iTunes library was uploded to the Cloud you could stream from iCloud. Appearently you can not or am I Wrong? From searching around it looks like you can only download purchases. I was hoping you could stream so I didn't have to put a lot of music on my iPhone,
Am I wrong? No Streaming?

I thought during the keynote of iOS 5 hey talked about that. Several podcasts also mentioned it. Must be it is not! Would have been a great feature; however to be able to stream your own music. As I inidcated I don't want to put a lot of music on my phone. It would have been great just to stream it.

HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

When I play a song from the cloud on my iPad, is the song actually saved to the device or is it streaming it from the cloud? If saved, how do I clear the songs to not exceed the storage on my iPad since the iTunes library is way bigger?

When I play a song from the cloud in iTunes Match on my iPad, iis the track actually downloaded to the iPad, or is it streaming? If downloading, wouldn't the tracks eventually exceed my storage capacity on the iPad since my iTunes library is way bigger? Do i need to delets songs off the iPad eventually?

It is downloaded, and yes it takes up space and can eventually fill up your iPad. It's supposed to delete older tracks as the music app plays new ones and space gets low, but other apps won't delete songs and free up the space. So if you were going to say use the camera app and it was full of music you would have to delete songs manually.

If I transfer my music library to a usb stick and delete my itunes from my computer will I still be able to "recover" my itunes from the cloud?

If I transfer my music library to a usb stick and delete my itunes account from my computer will I be able to recover my itunes account info from the cloud?

It depends on whihch IPad you purchased. The 16GB, the 32GB, or the 64GB for storage.
Tap Settings > General > About. You'll see Capacity in the list.
How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
You get 5GB of free storage space with iCloud but you can purchase more if necessary.
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
If you setup an iCloud account, it won't be necessary to sync your iPad media with iTunes. Everything is synced via your Wi-Fi network with iCloud.
If you do not want to use iCloud for storage and syncing, iTunes is the only software you can use to sync iTunes media with an iOS device.

I restored my HDD and now iTunes won't stream music from the cloud.

As title states, I replaced/restored the HDD in my Mac Mini and everything works perfectly except iTunes Match songs in the Cloud no longer stream in iTunes, they just skip to the next song. They all play fine when explicitly downloaded, but ihave many thousands of songs and it is supposed to work that way. I've tried many solutions and have also seen no one else with this problem. What am I missing here?
Thanks,

All music is unavailable in iTunes from the cloud

All of my music is successfully in the cloud. I can access it from my iPhone but cannot access it from my laptop. I have tried updating iMatch and stopping and restarting the service. I have traveled away from my wireless drive where my music is stored in soft copy, but that shouldn't matter.
Any ideas?
Thanks
J

What I've done now is moved my music folder into a different folder to keep it safe, I've deleted my iTunes library, ie on itunes highlighted all and deleted. Then gone to iTunes media folder and checked they are deleted and they are. Now whatever done is put my music folder back and checked preferences and it says keep a copy of file in iTunes etc. also keep folder organised is on.
So now I have started afresh I have both my music folder and iTunes folder which hold the same songs.
So what do you recommend I should do to be able to delete the music folder and just have one folder of songs?
Thank you

How do i download all my iTunes from the cloud to my new iMac?

Hi all,
I have a new iMac (and very happy), i have opened it up and entered my icloud information and all my music stored in the cloud is there but greyed out. How do I download it onto the computer? I kept getting error=5099
Can any one help? I have downloaded some of the music, but want to know if there is an easy answer?
Many thanks,
M

If they are on the phone, simply transfer them to the computer.
Connect the phone to the computer.
In iTunes, right click on the phone and select "Transfer Purchases".

How do I get my music I've purchased from iTunes from the cloud to my macbook air?, How do I get my music I've purchased from iTunes from the cloud to my macbook air?

I can't figure out how to get my purchased music from itunes from icloud to my macbook air. Anyone know how I can do it?
Thanks

Thanks Michael! I had to deauthorize my iMac b/c I says I have 5 computers authorized on my account already. I don't even have 5 computers. Are my iphone and Apple TV counted in the 5? And if there are old computers that are still authorized, how do I get them off of my 5?
Thanks

Having to download all my iTunes from the cloud manually.

I bought the ASUS G750JW a month or so ago, and I just now got around to installing iTunes back onto my pc since I had sold my old one. It stored all of my music in the cloud and said something about erasing all the music off my phone to sync it and i wasnt very sure if i should do that or not. either way im clicking the little cloud button for 1k+ songs to put them on here. If anyone sees this and knows a shorter way before i finish, it would be greatly apretiated.

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade to a new phone and when I plug it in the computer it thinks I am my boyfriends itune even though I signed in as myself. How do I make the computer think that it is my cloud itune information that I want to restore onto this phone? I have already authorized this computer.

To use iTunes, you need to first backup your old iPhone to this computer, then you can restore your new iPhone from this backup on this computer.

You don't.

Restore them from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

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.

Itunes in the cloud movies (austrian store)

hy!
1) i am using the austrian itunes store and i am still waiting that movies in itunes can be streamed directly from the cloud! i heard that it is already working in the us when is it working also in other stores!
2) the new apple tv is also supporting HD (1080) movies, there is no single HD (1080) movie in the austrian itunes store, when is apple thinking of starting selling HD (1080) movies in the austrian itunes store?
thanks for your comments!

I'm in the US and I am having the same problem. I get an error 2 times, and then everything appears to work normally. Then I try to do anything, and the same error pops up and says to retry. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, still not working.

Error upon loading a video from the iTunes in the cloud

I bought a movie called Epic and when I tried to play on my Apple TV via streaming from the iTunes in the cloud it was playing until yesterday it start displaying an Error message "Error upon loading this video content". How long does it take for that to be corrected?

OK well, I think all that stuff about licensing is not true, unless explicitly stated
Just working off a gut feeling (or perhaps just wishing it weren't true)? I suggest actually checking:
https://www.google.com/search?q=us+rip+dvd+legal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act
Typically any mention of ripping DVDs may get a topic removed from the ASC forums since it is discussion of an "illegal activity" and subject to Terms of Use.
The key thing here is if you upload a file to your library, then try to replace that same file with the same file name, iTunes will ignore it and NOT overwrite the file that's already there. You have to delete the file off first and THEN add to library again.
Correct, iTunes works on a file basis not a track label basis. That's why I said delete the old file. You could have 20 identical files with the same name (in different folders) and iTunes will add them all right next to each other. Nothing new in iTunes behavior there. In fact if you had gone to the location where the media file was stored and copied a new one over the old one with the same name I believe iTunes would still know it wasn't the original. You can, however, edit a file using a third party tool and save it in place and iTunes will accept the changes without having to re-add the file.

How do I get MY iTunes back from the cloud

The iCloud ate all my iTunes and won't give them back. Yes, I can download once song at a time but why should even music I loaded from my css be hijacked by iCloud? Any solution for this? APPLE please find a way out of this dilemma.

My experience was this:
1) I had a collection of 3000 songs on my hard drive of my Windows computer.
2) I started a subscription to iTunes Match.
3) The Match service scanned my music collection, and as far as I can tell it uploaded a number of my songs to the service cloud. (based on the cloud status indication in the iTunes GUI)
4) But judging from the cloud icons none of the songs remained on my local hard drive. For each of the 3000 songs the cloud-with-down-arrow icon indicated that the songs were only in the cloud, not on my PC.
5) I had evidence that the songs were not deleted from my PC, because the size of the iTunes library was the same and in the Windows file system I could still see the song titles, but as far as the iTunes GUI was concerned all the songs were in the cloud and not in the hard drive.
6) When I tried to play the songs, there was a startup delay, as if the song was being streamed from the cloud and not being played locally.
7) When I tried to play the songs without a WiFi connection they would not play.
8) I had to painfully download all 3000 songs one by one to restore them to the original state.
I'm left with a very bad taste about iTunes Match. It's the worst experience I've had with any Apple product or service. I'm seriously considering jumping ship from iTunes to some other music service, and I've been a loyal iTunes customer since it's inception.
