What do I do with the music files on my computer that have been uploaded to the cloud?

I want to free up disk space on my hard drive, so can I delete my iTunes songs that are stored in the cloud?

Yes you can. But keep in mind that if you want to play your deleted songs, you will have to redownload them from the cloud. So while you can delete them off your system to free up space, you cannot directly play music from the cloud. It has to be downloaded to your computer first.

  • Where can i view the pictures that have been uploaded to my cloud?

    Where can I view the pictures that have been uploaded to my cloud? when i log onto icloud it doesnt give me the option to view photos

    How were the photos "uploaded"? If via backup or Photo Stream, they aren't viewable online. If you turned on iCloud Photo Library (beta) you should see a Photos app at iCloud.com

  • Hello why cant we store more then 25,000 songs that have been uploaded in the Icloud from my cd's

    Hello why cant we store more then 25,000 songs that have been uploaded in the Icloud from my cd's, I'm a DJ and the purpose of getting the Icloud was not only for backup but to have access to all my music and this 25,000 song limit is not acceptable for me. I also upgraded my icloud drive to 200gb in hope that this would help, did it? I dont know as of yet, I just did it any thoughts out there??

    Apple has not said why. Inform Apple of your displeasure here:

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • Help with importing music from your old computer that is on cd rw's

    When you import music from your old computer that is on cd rw's how do get all the song info back?
    For example when you plug your ipod in (after you've imported the music) that already has on the songs on it and the titles will it just automatically update it? I have soooo many songs and I'm really not looking forward to having to fill in all the information now myself.Music was exported from my old computer from itunes on to blank cd's. Now I'm in the process of importing the cd's into the itunes library. The songs do not come with titles. They just say track 1, track 2, for example. From my understanding itunes can only pull up the cd info for the actual cd that you buy in the store. I would really appreciate anyone's help.

    I'm not sure. I burned the songs on a cd-r through itunes. What do you think?
    Sadly, this is not a good way to prepare for transfering your library. If your music still exists on your iPod then the easiest thing is probably to look at this post from Zevoneer which gives details of various methods for pulling data back from the iPod.

  • How do you delete photos from an iphone 5 using ios7 that have been uploaded from a computer? Hitch: I no longer have the old computer.

    When I was upgrading from the iphone 4 to the iphone 5, i uploaded all of the pictures from the iphone 4 to my computer and then added them to the iphone 5. I no longer have the laptop that the pictures were uploaded to (crashed). There are several pictures that I now wish to remove from my iphone 5 that had been uploaded from the old laptop but am unable to do so. I googled it many times and everything says go back and sync via itunes yadda yadda. i get that part, but i don't have access to the photos anymore from a laptop, only on my phone. when i try to select the photos and delete them, the trash symbol is greyed out. any suggestions or am I just stuck wtith these photos on the iphone 5?

    Syncing with iTunes is completely separate from and not related to importing photos and videos from your iPhone's camera roll with your computer.
    Have you imported photos from the Camera Roll previously with your computer?
    What are you using for the import with your computer?
    When I import with my Mac, I'm provided an option to delete the just imported photos and videos from the iPhone's camera roll after the import process is complete. If I choose no, with the next import I'm alerted about the photos/videos being previously imported by my computer - do I want to re-import and replace what was previously imported, or ignore the previously imported content and only import the new content that has not been imported.

  • I Trashed Some Song Files from my Computer that Had Been Previously Matched, and Now iTunes Can't Located Them. How Do I Download Them from the Cloud?

    The title pretty much says it all. I deleted some songs from my hard drive that had already been added to the cloud using iTunes Match, and now, when I try to play them, I'm asked to locate the files. The songs are still available on my other devices, so I didn't delete them from the cloud. How do I reconect the songs on my computer with the files in the cloud?

    Apple provides a brain-dead simple way to backup all your personal data in the form of Time Machine that keeps incremental backups going back at least several weeks, if not months (depending on the size of the backup drive). Why more people don't use it is a puzzle to me. In this day and age of person, and very important, data being digitial (sometimes exclusively) backing everything up becomes imperative. Ideally a good backup scheme should incorporate multiple backup solutions in case of very serious emergencies, but for most people, and in the case described in the OP TM is a very good solution. If a file is deleted, then found to be needed again, just go to the date and time in TM just before the file was deleted and restore it. Simple. But it doesn't work if you aren't backing up. So... backup, backup, backup. You'll thank yourself that you did when you finally need it.

  • Outlook 2010 with 365 stripping attachments off of email that have been drag and dropped

    In my office we just switched to 365 and since this I've noticed that roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of my email with drag and drop attachments are having those attachments stripped off.
    Several times a day I send an email that has 6 attachments, mix of excel and pdf, and the excel called 'Checklist' I attach by drag and drop often get stripped off the instant I hit the Send button.  
    I will literally be looking at it, as one of 6 files, hit Send, and in my sent box there are only 5 files, the Checklist is gone!  It's random; about 1/3 to 1/2 of them do this.  Others make it through.
    Please let me know if there is a fix to this?  I'm having to resend attachments about 6 times a day now! 

    Hi,
    Please send several test emails with attachments on OWA, check if this issue will occur.
    If the issue is on client only, we can start Outlook in Safe Mode to test, this can eliminate the influence by 3rd-party add-ins:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    In Outlook Safe Mode, send several test emails with attachments to see if the problem will ever occur. If no, we may suspect the issue was caused by some add-ins, go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one
    caused the problem.
    We can also test with a new profile to setup the account, a new profile will be a new environment for the account, we can check if the problem will occur with the new profile and you don't need to remove the old profile.
    To create a new profile, go to Control Panel -> Mail -> Show Profiles -> Add.

  • How can I access songs that have been uploaded to my iCloud with itunes Match on a different (work) PC?

    I have logged in with Itunes Match on my work PC, but after 'gathering information about itunes' Itunes Match says the maximum songs that can be uploaded that were not purchased in itunes is 25000 and iMatch stops. All I want to do is have access and the ability to download songs that iMatch has already uploaded to iCloud from my home PC.
    Please Help

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

  • IPad 2 with iOs 5 iCal automatically deletes events that have been made afterwards?

    When I try to make an event afterwards (for example today tried to make an event for 7th of November), iCal first makes it and then after few seconds deletes it instantly. Is there a way to make an event afterwards?

    You have messed up your iPad by installing an unofficial iOS release only available to developers.
    If you are not a developer, then you should not have installed that iOS on your iPad in the first place.
    Ask the people who sold you that unofficial iOS to help you.
    This forum is definitely the wrong place to find help for your particular problem!

  • Photos that have been deleted to aperture trash cannot be viewed. Any assistance is welcome in fixing this bug. The showing all files option is selected in the filter. System is 10.8.4, aperture version 3.4.5

    Photos that have been deleted to aperture trash cannot be viewed. Any assistance is welcome in fixing this bug. The showing all files option is selected in the filter. System is 10.8.4. Aperture version 3.4.5. Used to be able to view the files then all of a sudden they have stop appearing. Once the aperture trash is emptied the files can be viewed in the system trash. Becomes quite annoying if you want to review the aperture trash files before deletion.

    In the most recent version I cannot get this trick to work, however. But try it anyway, maybe it is just my macthat has an issue.
    Did this happen directly after the update? Where is your library located, on an external or an internal drive? Are your originals managed or referenced?
    I'd try next to check, if this is caused by the library, by creating a small test library and trying to trash pictures there. If it works well in a new library try to repair the database and the permissions on your regular library.  See:

  • Suddenly getting "unsupported image fomat" on RAW files that have been working perfectly.  How do I fix it and can I get those images back?

    I am suddenly getting "unsupported image file" for RAW images that have been working just fine.  How do I fix this and how do I get those images back?  Version 3.4.5, Canon 7D, everything up to date and no updates since files were loaded into Aperture.

    Would it help to buy a separate external hard drive for Aperture?
    That would be by far the best solution. And it would make the backup easier. You could include the "Aperture" drive in your Time Machine backup. With the original files stored on your Time Machine volume there is no way that Time Machine could back them up.
    Use Disk Utility to format the new drive "MacOS X Extended (Journaled)".
    Set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. (select the drive in the Finder, use "File > Get Info ⌘I)
    In the "Get Info" panel your drive should look like this:

  • What's going on with the music?

    What's going on with the music? When ever I am listening to music and I try to multi-task it randomly skips the song around. Sometimes even if my phone is locked it will skip back to random parts of the song. It has really started to big me. Please help. Oh yeah and this only started to happen after I updated my phone to iOS7

    Haven't heard about a song including a virus and if so, it certainly was not included with a song purchased from the iTunes store.
    If you sync music, deselect sync music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. This will remove all music from your iPhone.
    Reselect Sync Music and your previous selections should be selected automatically followed by a sync to re-transfer the music back to your iPhone.
