Why is my new music staying on my iPad and not going into my iCloud even though I have it set up to do so?

I have gone through all the tutorials to get iCloud to back up my music for iTunes, but it still shows I have 5.0GB available (even though I have purchased more), and when I go to "backup" it acts like it's going to do it, but doesn't. I now need to update my iOS but can't because there's not enough storage on my iPad, a bit of a Catch 22. Can anyone help me figure out why my music isn't going to the cloud? Thanks!

iCloud doesn't back up your music as part of your iCloud backup. iCloud only includes music in two ways. First, it allows you to redownload previously purchased music for free from iTunes (called "iTunes in the cloud"). Second, if you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer, you iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) will be available to download and play on your device anywhere you have a connection to the internet ( see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
16 GB RAM
itunes up-to-date
Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
1 GB RAM
itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

Why do my text messages go to my iPad and not my iPhone please

Why do my text messages go to the iPad and not iPhone when they are both switched on?

Hello Margey,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Without doing any troubleshooting it's difficult to say what could be causing the issue of your iPhone not receiving iMessages. Please follow the troubleshooting in the article below:

Ask in the developers forum. This is the iPad User's forum and we wouldn't know the answer to your question.

Why do my I messages go to my iPad and not my phone

Why do my iMessages only come up on my iPad and not my phone? It used to until I updated my ipad

Go to settings > Messages and then "Send & Receive". It will list the phone numbers/email addresses that the phone will respond to .
Check and/or uncheck the appropriate items.

Transfereing new music from external to PC and getting it into Library

I just added music to my itunes file from my old external hard drive. It went from 4.5GB to 17.8GB. But, when I go into Itunes it doesnt show any of the new music I put in there. Is there any way other than going each song one by one and playing them on Itunes to get them in my library?

Drag the iTunes file into the open iTunes application window.

Icloud why wont my total storage adjust in icloud even though i have deleted most of my photo files

iCloud would not backup my ipad 2 as I my icloud storage was reading full. I now have reduced my photo files to 3 GB on my ipad, in fact it is 18 GB smaller, backed it up on my computer etc. I was expecting my icloud manage storage to alter accordingly and then backup my ipad but it did not. What should I do. Delete the backup and do it again?

Apps are not part of the backup. In app data is, but backing up the apps would be redundant as they can be re-downloaded from the store for free. Media (music, movies, podcasts, etc.) are also not part of the backup for the same reason.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article What can I buy from the iTunes Store in my country?.
Photos and videos on your iOS devices
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device.
It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

Why is the new version of Firefox so ugly and not as user friendly as the previous versions?

I've been using Firefox for years now and always loved it because of the simplicity of use and the add-ons that made my life easier. Now the major add-on that I use is no longer compatible, the new setup is visually disorienting, and apparently users have to make all kinds of adjustments to be even decently happy with their browser. Why on earth would you ever consider releasing an update that requires the users to do half the work to be satisfied with the program, or to update their OS to a system with which they're not comfortable? I switched back to 3.6 immediately, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Plan A: Simply "Enable" the menu bar again. Click on the Ugly orange button, Choose Options and then choose "Menu Bar".
Plan B: Install this theme
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
I'm sure changing the theme was a point of major debate to the developers. In the end, I think they only alienated their existing userbase. If we want something that looks like Google Chrome, we'll use Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is difficult to use to the average user. Now Firefox is too. Too tech inclined. Completely out of touch with the vast majority of web users.

Why does the new dvd superdrive keep returning disk and not reading it

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Return it and get another one. The Apple USB SuperDrive sometimes doesn't work correctly, and other external disc drives work

I have a Mac PC OSx, version 10.5 and cannot get Icloud even though I have downloaded all new software? gh I have downloaded all available software.

I have a Mac PC, OS X, 10.5.8 Version but cannot download ICloud and I was led to believe this version supports it. I have downloaded all available software. Does anyone have suggestions? Just realized I need later version - - 10.7.5 or later. How do I go about upgrading this operatin system?

10.7 is no longer avaiable for immediate download. You need to purchase a download code, which will be delived by email in 1 to 3 business days. Using that code, you can download the software from the Mac App Store, and it will stay available for re-download from that Apple-ID.

To get the Mac App Store, you need to purchase a Snow Leopard 10.6 Installer/Utilities DVD. This physical DVD will be shipped to you by conventional means. The software can be Installed and re-installed from the DVD.

Even though I have FF set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" every time I open FF it just opens the home page. Why won't it open my previous session like it use to, even if I have that selected as the default state?

Nothing more to provide. Simple problem not opening previous session tabs when browser is opened after being closed. Was working fine until the upgrade to 7.0.1.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

To be tracked the phone has to be turned on and connected to the Internet.

Why are playlists made in iTunes not pushing to my iPhone, even though I have iTunes Match?

I have made a couple both Smart and regular playlists on iTunes. Then I clicked Store > Update iTunes Match. It updated and yet the playlists are not on my phone... I shouldn't have to sync my phone should I?

A solution I've mentioned in other threads for iTunes Match not syncing playlists to iPhone is to log out of your iTunes Account (Apple ID) in the iTunes & App Store page of Settings, turn phone off, then on, then log in again. This has solved problems for a number of people. Cheers.

Why is my Apple ID only valid for the Apple store in one country (Ireland) even though I have moved to and live in the USA?

I have moved from Ireland to the USA and now (legally) live in Seattle. When I try to login to the iTunes store here in the USA, I get a message telling me that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases from the Ireland iTunes store. What moron put in a restriction like that? Apple is now telling me that although I can legally move from one country to another and take up residence, I can not travel globally with my Apple ID? What use is having an Apple ID then as I can travel and buy globally with Amazon?

Do NOT create another ID. Change the country of your present ID.

Further tips on changing country - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20029737 - problems you encounter when changing iTunes country
Realize, however, just as you can no longer visit your old public library in Ireland you also no longer have access to the store or your purchases made there. You can continue to use them as they are on your computer now but that makes it all the more important you maintain backups in case of loss. If you upgrade an app I think you will have to pay for it again since you no longer have access to the Irish Store.

I have a new MacBook Pro Mid 2012 and it goes into deep sleep when I disconnect if from AC power.

I have a new 13" MacBook Pro mid 2012 and it goes into deep sleep when it is disconnected from AC power. I have to press the power button to wake it up. Is this a known issue or is there something wrong with the MacBook Pro?

There are a few threads about this around. Its a known issue for 2012 non retina users, not sure about Apple. It should not work this way and Apple has not put out an update to fix it yet. Check out these threads for some workarounds. I think I saw if you reinstall and don't update one of the updates you get normal functionality back. Otherwise there are some terminal changes you can make to make it operate mostly normally. I made some changes in terminal.
