When playing an iTunes playlist on my iPhone 5, suddenly it switches to playing music from the cloud.

  • I can download purchased music but cannot play music from the Cloud

    Is there a problem playing music from the Cloud? I cannot play music with iTunes (PC) and iOS 6.0.1, but I can download purchased music form iTunes Store. Maybe there is a problem with server?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reaosn you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Why can't I play music from the cloud on my laptop?

    So I recently uploaded all my music in the iCloud from my PC Desktop computer in hopes that I could play this music remotely from my laptop. Unfortunatly, it's saying I can't within 40 days when I turn on iMatch. So what's the problem? Do I need to wait 40 days in order to play music in the cloud on other devices? Or is it saying I can never play music from other computers even if I sign in with my own Apple ID?

    I know you're saying that, but I can't think of a reason why you would be getting a warning that you couldn't play music within 40 days of turning on iTunes Match unless you changed IDs.  This article explains this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
    If you feel you are getting this in error, try contacting iTunes store support and ask them what's going on, by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Other iTunes Store Topics>The topic is not listed.

  • I need to clear space on my mac and have 2 other devices I need space on- IpHone and Ipad.  I have Itunes match.  If I delete the library from my computer, how can I play music from the cloud on all devices.  S

    I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad.  Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive.  I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud.  Thoroughly confused and frustrated.  Hope someone can help.
    Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up.  Any thoughts?

    If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account.  Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
    The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

  • I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded?

    I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • When playing music from Ipod in my car, music suddenly stops and message appears to restore in iTunes.  After a few minutes, it starts to play again.  I hear a click and the apple logo shows on the screen.  Any ideas??

    You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing.  It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.

  • I have a new iphone6+  and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

    I have a new iphone6+  and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

    Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
    Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
    The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
    So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
    Please let us know what happens
    Thanks

  • An app which plays music from the resume point just like videos for iphone 4

    Hi,
               I am using iPhone 4. I would like to get an app which plays music from the resume point just like what we are having for videos.
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Thanks for all of your responses
    I've been researching and trying different things and have yet to come up with a viable solution. I prefer to go the free route when I purchase my media streaming software, however, I don't mind paying to have something once I feel it works. I would also like to mention, I want a media server which streams media(music/video) to all of my devices(xbox360, Wii, PS3, Iphone).
    Here is my current configuration:
    Imac 20"( 2 GH intel core 2 duo, 4 gb memory, running ps3 Media Server)
    Apple Extreme Router
    Sony Vaio Laptop(winamp remote)
    My media has been produced by using my Imac with handbrake software(video) and Itunes for music.
    I have tried PS3 media server and it seems to work wirelessly with my xbox360 just fine, however, the PS3, Wii and Iphone are a different matter. I get errors on ps3("this video content cannot be played "(8002288d8). The Wii and iphone wont recognize PS3 Media Server.
    My windows PC(Sony Vaio-Windows 7) has software I've downloaded called WINAMP Remote which seems to do all I want except, my xbox, Wii, PS3 all work but the video quality stinks(digitized flickering, poor quality overall). The iphone app(Orb-Free) video has a great picture but stutters frequently and stops. Audio over 3g stutters(meaning I have to hit play very frequently cause it stops) also.
    All this being said, I still am searching for a media server which can stream seemlessly to any of my devices. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

    Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

  • I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

    Hi all,
    I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
    Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
    Cheers, Alex

    On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

    Where are iTunes files located?
    No, I do not mean just the music.  Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.
