Windows on the cloud

I have been told that, if I want to run an application on the cloud, it must run under Linux.
I have a heavy compute application written in VB.NET which runs well and fast, but I have been told that it must be re-written in C++ to run on the cloud.
Pardon my ignorance, but is that true?

Hi Jeff;
One of the key features of Azure is that it is open and a flexiable system. One can not only deploy Windows based OS but you can deploy a full range of open and community-driven OS and software solutions on Azure. On Azure, you have the choice of a
full range of Linux distributions like Ubuntu and SUSE, community-driven solutions like Chef, Puppet, and Docker along with other products like Oracle Database and Oracle WebLogic Server. Azure is open with lots of options.
You could opt for the
Azure Free Trial first see if it fits your requirement which I'm sure it would and move the way forward.
You could also check out some code samples
here to get a gist.

I used to be able to see all of my itunes music on my Windows based computer via The Cloud. I can no longer do so. Anyone have an idea out there how to get it back?

I used to be able to see all of my itunes music on my Windows Based computer via the cloud. One day this no longer happened. I do have itunes Match and it still doesnt happen. Any ideas?

Hello Thediamond
Go to the iTunes preferences, go to the Store tab and check to see if the Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. Also check to see if any purchases are hidden as well.

HT1349 I have a large Windows iTunes library (18k+ songs, 650+ movies, 2.4K TV shows) and since upgrading to iTunes 11 files are disappearing from my library. Some music files re-appear in the cloud which means I have to re-download and re-convert to MP3.

iTunes 11 is rapidly becoming a disaster for me. I have a dedicated Windows 7 machine running iTunes to service 3 Apple TV's, 2iPhones, 2iPods, and an iPad. Itunes 11 is very sluggish with my large library and has now started 'losing' files to the cloud. This means that music I purchased in 2005 is being removed from my library and subsequently seems to become available as a ne cloud download. This may well be because I convert all ACC files to MP3 and delete the ACC (my ears are too old to care about the reduction in quality). Either way, it's detrsoying my playlists and means I have to re-download files.
Does anyone know how to stop this? I have no interest in the cloud (my library is too big and contains hundreds of ripped CD's and Vinyl records that can't be matched).
Thanks

Because back in the early days very few devices supported AAC so converting to MP3 allowed me to use iTunes and other devices (like a $1000 dollar MP3 player with a 3.5" hard disk drive that pre-dated iPods ) as well as my gen 1 and 2 iPods. I can't hear the difference (I'm old...) so the files being smaller is still an advantage (even though I have 64Gb iPods and iPhones these days. Anyway, the major issue is iTunes deleting the MP3's and messing up my playlists because the file it downloads just goes in the library - not the original playlists. The secondary issue is how do I know it's truly replacing all the files it deletes. It's just scary and I don't like it.
BTW, I'm not anti-cloud and in fact use iCloud extensively with my iPhones/Apple TV's for photo sharing/backups but iCloud is useless for media sharing. I have just over 2tb of media data shared on my iTunes server (and remotely accessible on my iPhone/iPad using WebDav to my home server).
...and none of my media is pirated. I have crates of vinyl, CD's,DVD's, and Blu-Rays along with thousands of iTunes store receipts!

New windows 7 pc,have updated my itunes to newest version. All purchases are on screen as being on the cloud but when I download the files, they stay in place until I shut the computer down. on restart, they 'cannot be located' any ideas?

This is really annoying me. I have a new pc. running windows 7. All my media is showing as 'on the cloud'. I don't always have access to internet so I want the files on my pc. when I download from the cloud the songs play but seem to dissappear when I restart the pc. says file cannot be located and the file dissappears from my flashdrive I have it stored on. What am I doing that's wrong??

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

Hello, I have creative cloud installed on my Mac Book Pro - OS X 10.9. 5 When trying to download trial programs, a popup window shows the message " you have been disconnected" Connect to continue. The same message comes after repeated attempt to entering the login and password info. How can I solve this?

Hi Jeff,
Here is the screenshot of the window which comes after any attempt to download a trial version. It is in French, it means you have been disconnected, connect to continue.

I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas. I have a corrupt song. I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud. It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud. How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

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?

pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help. Am trying to work on document from office computer at home on laptop.
This is what the pop up says:
You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store.
Thanks,

WS,
At first, it can be difficult to determine which version of Numbers you are using. The user interfaces are different, but if you are new to the apps you may think you are using the new version when if fact you have launched the older version. Make sure you are using Version 3.x. Then you won't get the message that you need a newer version.
Use Spotlight to launch Numbers. After typing Numbers into the search field, pick the result that says "Numbers -- Applications".

You can upload files to Dropbox and edit them with Quickoffice Pro HD.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

I have Windows Vista and I am unable to download the newest version of the cloud. What can I do?

I am trying to load pictures to my computer and it is not working. I am trying to load the cloud, but it says I can't because I have Vista.

You need Windows 7 or 8.

Which older version can I get of AI for Windows 7. I don't want the Cloud version.

I am running Windows 7 and want a newer version of AI than the one I have (CS version), but I don't want the Cloud version. Can I still get a newer version just not as new as the Cloud version?

Yes, CS6 is still available as a perpetual license

How can I find itunes 10.1 for windows. I don't want the cloud in newer version.

How can I find iTunes 10.1 for windows. I don't want the cloud, and my iPod touch won't go back to prior versions.

Had the same problem. Also worked fine on my MacBook, but not on my new iMac. Here's what I did to fix it:
Archive and Reinstall Mac OS (takes about 40 minutes). This reverted my system back to 10.6.2. Just pop in your Mac OS disc that came with your computer. Mine had 10.6.2 on it, and "Archive and Install" is the default option. When it's done, run software update and update everything. Now it all works fine.
Somewhere along the way, some file got corrupted somehow. But doing an "archive and install" of your OS undoes whatever file damage was incurred, and allows everything to update normally via Software Update as it should.

Is there a way around the cloud not being compatible with windows xp?

I have been using a blackberry bold but am excited to be purchasing the iphone 4s. My idea was to use 1 phone for both personal and business use. I have been synching the blackberry with outlook (non enterprise). I am a solo attorney and have one office computer not on a server. I was planning on synching business stuff (calendar, contacts) with outlook in the office on my windows xp computer and synch my media from a family shared library (via my playlist) on the cloud.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can synch my contacts, calendar, etc to all of my i devices (incl. ipad 2 and itouch as well as my iphone ) without using hosted outlook exchange. (Exchange is not compatible with other office software).

The dll's and exe's for Photo stream are located here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services
If you try and run ApplePhotoStreams.exe or ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe you get an error saying "The procedure entry point SHGetKnownFolder path could not be located in the dll SHELL32.dll." It looks like this function call is not supported for XP:
http://cboard.cprogramming.com/windows-programming/101380-shgetknownfolderpath-p roblem.html
Frustrating...Not sure there is a workaround, would be nice if you could drop in SHELL32.dll in the Windows folder that supported this function call.
