  • Why are some of my contact photos address book not uploading to iCloud contact

    I have added some new contact photos to my address book in my powerbook but it absolutely refuses to upload to the icloud and hence my iphone and iPad.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud?

    Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud icon?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
    Maybe a screenshot.

  • Why are some songs in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format

    Why are some songs I've purchased in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format?

    iTunes store used to sell its music that way several years ago, but then removed DRM protection as a standard format I think 2 years ago.  How long ago did you make the purchase?  I don't think they still use it on any audio now, but it is definitely used on video.

  • Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

    Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
    the songs are in the library

    I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0.  I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad.  I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

  • TS1412 i purchased a movie from itunes and it will not download! why?

    i am on vacation and wanted to relax with a nice long movie so i purchased the film scarface for 9.99 on itunes and it will not download and through all of my effort to make it download i have learned about converters and all kinds of mumbo jumbo how do i just watch the movie that i purchased? i do not want to get a refund for the movie....

    this is the iMovie board - about the editing software delivered free with any Mac.
    purchased movies can only be playbacked in iTunes.
    any mumbo jambo probably gets better explained in the 'iTunes for Windows'-section of this board:

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes 10.1 will not download because I can't get old apple application support off my computer windows xp

    itunes 10.1 will not download because I can't get old apple application support off my windows XP. Help!

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why are some items on itunes not available in other countries. like the book world war z by max brooks?

    ok so i want to buy max brooks novel WWZ from the uk itunes store. but i cant becuase its only available in the USA..... why is that? why are some things limited to certain countries? im gonna go to the local book store and just buy a (much cheaper) hard back copy anyway, but it genuinely makes zero sense why itunes does this. very frustrating is a understatement as this happens with music and videos also! ......

    It's the content providers decision, not Apple - the book publisher, record company, film studio have to grant Apple a license to sell their content in each country. So if the book publisher has only granted Apple a license to sell it in the US store but not the UK store, then Apple can't put in in the UK store.

  • Why are some free apps light grey

    I am trying to install a free app, but it does not install when clicking on it.  I notice some apps with a light grey "free" and others with a dark grey "free".  The ones with a light grey "free" will not install.  WHY?

    Also try and close all inactive apps
    1. Double-click the Home button to see all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close App
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen

  • Why are some channels offered on Select TV service not offered on Premium?

    We get the Premium TV Service (we're in Maryland).  The lower-priced Select service offers a number of channels that are not offered on Premium (but are offered on the higher priced plans).  We're particulary interested in the BBC chanels, but there are about 8 other channels that are offered on the lower-priced service, but not on Premium.  What is the justification for dropping channels when you pay for a higher priced service?

    and why are some shows on hd but not listed in sd (the default guide). why do some shows list 2-3 episodes one day and the next offer only one?this is across board, every channel that is watched in my household at some point in time has this problem.when wanting to watch a missed show on vod. 

  • Why do some songs appear on a playlist but not under their artist?

    I have a couple songs that will play on the iPod but can't be accessed through their artists. The only way I can access them is under a playlist. For example, I have 4 songs by Fat Boy Slim, 3 of which coming from unknown albums. When I select Fat Boy Slim under the artist menu, it goes straight to the album that the fourth song is under. The songs from unknown albums have to be accessed through the Top Rated playlist. If I select almost any other artist, it will lead me to another menu where I can choose "all" or any of the albums of that artist. The same applies to another artist where ten songs are from one album and one song is from an unknown album; the song with an unknown album will not appear under its artist. The Ipod will just go straight to the album that the ten songs are from. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I fix it? By the way, I have the 30 gig video iPod.

    This may be happening because there is no album name for those songs. Since the song with an album title does show up, try naming the albums for the other three songs. They'll probably show up.
