Streaming of Music and Videos using iCloud

I  have been ripping all my CD collection and my DVD collection to be able to play it on iPhone, iPad and iPod. Now with iTunes being in the cloud I was wondering if it is possible to stream both my Music and my Videos directly from the cloud to my appletv. Anyone who knows that? Would be great to see my movies without starting a mac and then streaming it via airplay...

Now with iTunes being in the cloud I was wondering if it is possible to stream both my Music and my Videos directly from the cloud to my appletv.
The good news is that AppleTV does support iTunes Match.  It is also the only iOS device that will only stream content from iTunes Match - it has to, since the most recent model really doesn't have local storage.  I have an AppleTV and I use iTunes match all the time.  Just be aware that not every music file will be deemed eligible, so if you have low-bitrate songs, or songs in a format that iTunes Match isn't set up for, they will be deemed ineligible.  There are work-arounds for this which basically involve making a copy in a format Apple likes.  For most people that just means making an AAC copy within iTunes and running Match again.
The bad news is that the only music videos eligible for iTunes match are those that during the matching process, are identified as (1) being purchased from the iTunes store and (2) still available in the store.  Music videos in general, as well as movies and audio books are not eligible for the service and after iTunes match has scanned your library, will be identified by a cloud with a strikethrough.

  • How can I backup my music and videos to icloud?

    Hello, I want to be able to backup my music and videos to iCloud.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks.
    Anees.

    Only media that you purchased from Apple:
    The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
    Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
    Therefore what you purchased is not "backed up". The content remains where it originated - on iTunes.
    Apple could easily change its mind and remove it, change it, or simply make it unavailable.
    Same thing for iTunes Match I'm afraid... iTunes Match does not back up your content and is therefore not a backup strategy. It finds a "match" in its vast library and permits you to access it.
    There have been a lot of complaints from purists who found their mono Beatles tracks were "matched" with stereo equivalents, "explicit" tracks matched with clean, etc.
    The bottom line is that iCloud is no substitute for one's own iTunes backup, and a backup / clone of the device containing it.

  • My iPad stopped streaming live music and video.

    How do I fix this problem

    What happens when you try to play them ? Does your music and videos show but don't play, or doesn't your content show in the Music and Videos apps ?
    Have you tried closing the Music and Videos apps completelyand seeing if they work when you re-open them  ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Music or Videos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music and Videos apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I integrate music and video using iMovie?

    I need a little help trying to accomplish the following using iMovie:
    I want to record music and a short movie with my built-in iSight camera and mic.
    Step 1: I want to record a song directly from iTunes (not through the microphone).
    Step 2: I want to generate a video in which a person would sing (voiceover) the music recorded in step 1.
    My difficulty (confusion) is that it appears I can only add music only AFTER the video has been recorded. This won't accomplish my goal - because I want the video to be recorded after the music has been laid down.
    I am sure there is a way to do what I want. Would someone please give me a little direction? Thank you. Dale

    1) With the music playing on iTunes in the background, record your video using the iSight camera.
    2) Open the media browser in iMovie and drag in the music track that you want. Drag it and drop it to the first clip. You can "fine tune" the starting point later.
    3) Use the audio settings of iMovie to set the audio for the video track to zero. You will only be able to hear the iTunes track.
    4) Drag the blue box (green box?) that represents the iTunes track and drag it forward or backward until you synch up with the video.

  • My sons dad bought him and ipod and my niece used her itunes library to add music and videos on it. They live in another state and we have questions because we don't want him to lose all of the music or any of the apps.

    My son's dad bought him an ipod and my niece used her itune library to put music and videos on his ipod. The problem we are haveing is that she lives in another state and we are not sure how to manange his account without losing some of the songs and all of his apps. There are some songs that are on his ipod that are duplicates, there are some songs that he doesn't like or listen to, and there are some songs on there that I do NOT want him to listen to because of the language and the lyrics. He is 10 there are just some things I feel that he is too young to listen to.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
    Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
    if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

  • Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?

    Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
    So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
    So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
    When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
    Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I have the same question but I am using two pc's

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

  • How do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

    how do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

    Hi,
    You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.

  • Enable disk use and Manually manage music and videos

    When I go to Summary, Enable disk use is checked but dim, so I can't change it. Manually manage music and videos is checked and not dim. Is this enough to do so that I can manage the videos I have shot on my Nano from iTunes, or do I have to do it from iPhoto?

    Hello JohnKerr48,
    I can manage the videos I have shot on my Nano from iTunes, or do I have to do it from iPhoto?
    You have to manage them via a Finder window, through iMovie, or iPhoto. They cannot be managed via iTunes unless you copy them from your Nano onto your Mac and then import them into your iTunes library. For more information, see this Apple support document.

  • Help using ipod for photos, music, and video

    Guys, I received an IPOD classic 80gig months ago with a college class that I took. I thought it was really neat at the time as I could watch the videos. However, now I'm so glad that it came free with the class and honestly can't understand how anyone can figure out how to operate it. I have photos, music, and videos that I would love to download to the IPOD and watch but after months of reading and rereading the IPOD features guide, I still have no clue how to do it? I'm a college graduate, made the Dean's list. Smart guy, doesn't seem to help me. The features guide will tell you to go to this folder, etc, BUT when I plug my IPOD in there are only like 4 folders that exist! Where are those folders that they are talking about?? I downloaded some photos on my computer into a folder, dragged and dropped them onto my ipod and when I turn the ipod on it says NO PHOTOS!! Same thing happened with my videos and my music? I have a relative in a nursing home who wants me to show her some family photos. I wanted to IPOD those photos and bring them to her. Can't figure it out! Audiobooks??? No way I'll ever figure out how to do that! Are you guys ALL BRAIN SCIENTISTS OR WHAT???

    Thanks Neil, for trying to help me put. I actually figured out how to use the notes. I couldn't believe it worked. I was disappointed to see my notes "cut off" as I guess it has a 4000 character limit, I believe it is. Maybe I'll do a search for itunes software on google and try to figure it out. I don't know if the itunes software is free. You know, not for nothing Neil, but I'm suprised an IPOD classic costs over $250.00 and all they give you is a quick start guide. You have to go to the internet to find a copy of the features guide. That's like buying a new car and not getting an owners manual with it. Odd. Thanks again for trying to help me out.
