Will icloud be useful when I have music loaded from CDs

I have an imac and 2 ipads and an ipod.  With all these devices I still find that I cant use icloud to sync my music.  Reason - my music is from CDs purchased or made by converting a lot of recordings.  Rare ones.  How can I make my itunes library from my mac be available to all the other devices?

Music is not stored in iCloud.
You can use iTunes Match ($20 per year) to share your library.

  • I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

    Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

  • HT4527 Will home sharing allow me to share music downloaded from cds?

    At least 75% of my itunes library has been downloaded from my cd collection(approx 400-500 cds). How do I share this between multiplecomputers(I have a laptop and a desktop with a third laptop potentially on the way).  I knwo I can share music downloaded from itunes but can;t figure out how to share the music from the CDs.

    Yes, you can stream or transfer music ripped from CDs to other computers via Home Sharing.

  • Missing link between Itunes and Music Loaded from CDs

    Somehow itunes no longer recognizes the link between itunes and music loaded from my Cds (error message in itunes indicates original file could not be found). I can establish this link manually one by one and the songs play but how can I establish this link other than manually one by one in itunes ?

        Hi again!
         I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
         I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
         In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
         'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

  • Which chart should I use when I have data in degrees ?

    which chart (i.e, pie,polar,radar)  should I use when I have data in degrees ?
    I have a requirement that the data in one column contains degree/angle (i.e, 45degree,80 degree, 90 degrees)
    now, I should show the data in a chart so that their should be colour variation. up to 45 degree should be one colour and the rest should be another colour.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi PrakashThandra,
    According to your description, there is a column contains degree, you want to show data in chart, if degree is greater or equal to 45, it should be one color, the rest should be another color.
    In Reporting Services, each chart type has unique characteristics to help us visualize our dataset. We can use any chart type to display our data, but the data will be easier to read when we use a chart type that is suitable to your data, based on what we
    are trying to show in the report. In this case, we can use scatter chart, column chart and pie chart. To achieve your goal, please refer to the following steps:
    In Pie chart, right-click the chart and click Series Properties.
    Click Fill in left pane, click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
    =iif(Fields!Degree.Value>=45,"Green","Blue")
    The following screenshots are for your reference:
    For more information about chart types, please refer to the following document:

    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

  • I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • Will I be able to copy my music library from my PC to I pad and listen to it at a remote place without sync and without I tunes match?

    Will I b able to copy my music library from PC to I pad while sync and listen to it without sync at a remote place. Is it possible without iTunes Match?

    Yes. As long as all your songs you lost have been Matched or Uploaded to iTunes Match you can download your entire library from the cloud.
    It might take some time though

  • I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when I try to load the Mac Os x update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it?

    I have an Intel Desktop iMac and I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when it tries to load the Mac OS X update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website  Mac OS X V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it? Any other suggestions. The printer is not working either - I am not sure if they are connected. Everything else is fine.

    Please excuse, but I have to ask an obvious question: Did you already update using the Snow Leopard Retail install DVD? (You must do this first; 10.6.7 is just an update if you already have 10.6.) Are you, then, trying to update from whatever version was on the install DVD to 10.6.7?
    Otherwise, I'd keep trying. The 10.6.7 Combo is a huge update.

    Bought a mac mini and have music files from my old windows PC on a USB drive. need to know how to transfer all the music from the USB drive to itunes so I can sync them with my new ipod.

    Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the icon for that drive, locate the song files, drag them to any location inside the Home entry, open iTunes, and drag them from there into it.
