Why does iCloud store only purchased music?

I have both purchased and downloaded from cd music on my iPad and iPod. I am unable to sync either with my pc as it says the content will be replaced with purchased items. Whilst I can load this stuff again ther are two purchased items, a film which oesn't show T all and video clip shows but says ineligible at the side of it. Why is it not showing all purchased items and also the other items or can it not do that and if not what is the point to it. Can anyone help me sort?

iTunes in the Cloud only stores purchased music; if you want your uploaded music to be available in the Cloud as well, then you may want to consider subscribing to iTunes Match. It's a yearly subscription for $24.99 and it can store up to 25,000 songs. It also upgrades your music to 256-kbps DRM-free AAC. Sounds a whole lot better than standard MP3.

HT4759 If my computer is about to die. Does ICloud store all my music. when I get a new computer how do I access it?

I have a pc and wanted to know if I cloud backs up my music in case of computer failure?

1. It depends on what country you're in and whether or not the content is still available in the iTunes Store. The iCloud copy shouldn't be considered a substitute for a backup. If it didn't originally come from the iTunes Store, only if you've signed up for iTunes Match.
2. Click here and follow the instructions.

If I have my music in itunes on my mac will it transfer to ipod via icloud or only new music i purchase?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes in the cloud will let you redownload any purchase you have made (not just new purchased) to your iPod.
iTunes match will let you download anything from your library.

Why does itunes store not pop up and not tell me why?

Why does itunes store not pop up and then not tell me why? i"m wondering if it could have anything 2do with me just transefering music with my flash drive?

Does it show in the Purchased section for downloading ? Click on the Purchased under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
If not then have you tried logging out and back into the account ? If that doesn't work either then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
If on a computer:
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

Why does my ipod only show an apple and wont start up

Why does my Ipod only show an apple and wont do anything else> And holding down the two buttons has done nothing!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does my iMac only have 1 GB of memory? I hardly have anything on here. I cannot download software update in order to get Turbo Tax to work.

Put in more RAM. Visit OWC, DataMem, or Crucial.com to purchase memory for your model. You computer would have more memory had you put more in a long time ago.

Does icloud store all my Aperture photos forever?

Does icloud store all my Aperture photos forever? Or only the last 1000 for 30 days?

If you mean photo stream photos, up to 1000 photos are saved for up to 30 days in iCloud, but a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos are saved on your computer until deleted. And if you check Automatic Import in Aperture>Preferences>Photo Stream, they will be not be deleted from your Aperture library (see http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=14%26se ction=2%26tasks=true).

No.

IMO you should have at least 2 or 3...
One on your Computer, another on an External Hard Drive ... and a third on a Flash Drive...

Why does iDVD store stuff "all over the place"? Project now broken

Hi all,
did an hour long family movie project, and in the meantime cleaned up my documents folder and deleted some stuff that I thought was internet downloads etc, or extra working files.
Turns out it was the important audio stuff for iDVD!
I've broken my project... the stuff was obviously important, and now when I open this project it has a big broken chain on it.
Why does iDVD store important stuff "all over the place" like that? I mean, it's confusing enough (for newbies) to learn where the events and where the projects are stored, but why does it strip off the sound and store them in documents where ANYTHING could get deleted?

Just to add, an iDVD project should be thought of as a shell, an empty container. It has references to the media files used in it, but does not actually contain these files. The files remain in their normal locations. When you burn to disk, or create a disk image file, iDVD pulls these files just for encoding onto a DVD disk or into a disk image file. It does not really move these files into its project files. Your iMovies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete any of these files, iDVD will not be able to locate them, and you will see the broken link images.
For this and several other reasons, it is a good idea to leave everything alone and not go deleting any files until you have finished your iDVD project.
Then, when you are ready to burn it to DVD disk, be sure to do a 'Save as disk image' to create a disk image file of the project. This process looks like the burn process, and the encoding will take just as long, but the end result is a self-contained disk image file, not a burned DVD disk.
The advantage of the disk image file is that you will have an exact copy of your iDVD project with all the media files encoded into it. You now can safely delete all the media used in this iDVD project without losing the project. Now you can clean up your documents folder! Deleting all the files used in the project will also save you drive space.
You can save disk image files as backups and can move them to external drives or other computers. You can burn DVD disks from disk image files using Disk Utility or Toast. You don't have to worry about your burned DVD disk breaking/melting or having something spilled on it (kids in the house!). You can always get the disk image file and burn another copy. (Great for the relatives who somehow 'lose' the great DVD you made for them!).
You cannot edit the disk image files however, so you should be creating one only when your project is completely finished.
If you wish to save all your iDVD files while you are working on a project, you can archive your iDVD project. I have not found the need to do this, but the link J Keller gave you for the tutorial explains how to save as archive and as disk image. Obviously, the archive project will be larger since it is saving all the media. Archived projects can also be moved to other drives or computers.
Hope you can recreate your project.
Note to J Keller: the video tutorial was quick and gave the brief how-to and why. Nothing complicated.

Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it? The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot. Can anyone advise me please. It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
Which is best ?

It does both at the same time.
When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
Then there are no "extra" files around.
