ICloud for Apple music activation will damage my iTunes library?

I agree with Apple's music and I understand that if I want to add pieces of Apple's music in my iTunes library I must activate iCloud. I have so far resisted doing this since all reports of permanent damage to your library master iTunes at the time where Apple music was introduced. It means your iTunes library will be scanned and anything in the catalog of music Apple is copied in your iCloud, but at a lower speed to ICloud. Music you have (I have 1700 titles of a CD, I added that I bought) is not in the catalog will be copied in iCloud, but at a lower rate. But I was warned of the following problems. Does anyone know if all those who have been set? Of course, I keep a backup of everything on my Mac, but I'm afraid of damaging my iTunes library. I've read about problems are:

  1. DRM is added to the music you own and copied to your iTunes library.
  2. Music you have will be converted at any bit rate and a different format (I use MP3) and copied in your library.
  3. Many only find albums that they have got iTunes tracks scrambled, metadata for artist names and track names got scrambled, and playlists got out of order.
  4. Album cover and the track got corrupted and replaced with incorrect art.

I know things are not supposed to be true based on the Apple FAQ, but they occurred when music Apple and iOS 9 first came out. These questions definitely resolved?

1. no DRM will not be added to your own music and copied into your iTunes Library UNLESS you decide to delete your original files and then re - upload to your computer's iTunes library. Or if you have set up a second computer share the same Apple ID and download the tracks to this second computer.

2 not - yet as answer #1 - if you delete your original files and then re-download. You will receive versions Apple music that - according to what bitrate you torn initially to-may or may not be a lower data rate.

3. Yes, it happens. But most often it happens when you try to listen to music on other computers or devices. There was reports of these types of problems in their library (the one people used as source to configure BCTI) original iTunes and that's why it makes sense to have a backup of your original files. But, that being said, I've been using AM / BCTI since it began and I saw only occasional and minor problems with my metadata on my original library. However, I've seen a lot of questions on the iPhone and iPad that share my ID Apple and iCloud music library - mainly the wrong version of a song being substituted for the one I have in my library (the original) iMac iTunes.

4 Yes - See answer #3.

Yet once again, most of these problems happen either (1) on the secondary devices you use with your music library to iCloud or (2) when people decided - usually to save hard drive space - to remove their original files and then replace with others of their MEMBER.

  • iTunes game - iCloud status - 'Apple Music'

    Hey guys,.

    You are looking for some kind of fix to my iTunes library. I recently decided to try downloading my entire library on the cloud using iTunes game (decided against the free Google game option as I want it to be integrated into all my iOS devices) but I noticed that some of my songs are returned with a status of 'Apple Music' to iCloud instead of "Linked" or "downloaded."

    A quick google reveals that this means he was a native of Apple music, but these are direct mp3 downloaded from my iTunes library (when I right, click on the song-> Get Info-> file-> type: MPEG audio file). My dilemma is that if I delete my original file and finally want to re - re-download the file offline, changes to 'Sort of file' 'Music of Apple', which I found out, is a file locked of DRM.

    This isn't what I want because I don't plan to keep a subscription Apple music forever (only have it because Telstra offered it free for 12 months on a postpaid plan) and I'd like to keep all my music on my iCloud library all without DRM.

    Does anyone know a work-around for this? Very much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If the State of cloud is displayed as 'Apple Music', it is a mistake. I sometimes noticed that during the matching process, other titles show first music Apple but shortly after the matching process ends they change correspondents or download.

    First of all, try to go to file > library and select Update library iCloud music and let the match you scan library. If this does not resolve the problem, remove the beaches full of your library, then readd to your back ups.

  • I signed up for Apple music and since then I can't synchronize playlists from my computer to my phone because it says I have iTunes game turned on, but I do not subscribe to iTunes recently Match (ish). How to make this stop?

    Hello

    You cannot synchronize in usb or wifi if you subscribe to the Apple's music. The basic principle of the AM is that your iTunes library is scanned to determine what can be matched or must be downloaded. Once completed, all the music you will be available to listen to or download on your iOS device.

  • Downloaded songs Apple music works do not on iTunes?

    Hello

    I have a MacBook Pro of the retina under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4.

    I had a problem with my laptop and I had to restore and re install El Capitan.

    When I tried to restore my backup, all my songs bought came normally, but do not open the ones I downloaded from Apple's music on iTunes.

    As you can see, the file of apple's music is in iTunes, BUT the songs don't open in iTunes.

    I tried to re download it from Apple's music, but it does not work.

    What should I do?

    http://dougscripts.com/iTunes/2015/09/new-flush-Apple-music-cache-files/

    "There may be some residual files left in the folder ~ / Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/, which is a bit like a"iTunes Media"folder for the Apple's music." It stores the specially protected audio files that are downloaded when you listen to a track of Apple's music on your Mac, ostensibly for iTunes does not have to re - download if they are played again. They cannot be played to the user and are useful only for Apple music. (This cache folder does not apply to music from the Radio. Or Apple music you've added to your library for offline use, which is stored in your folder of official media "ITunes")."

  • Apple TV is not connect to iTunes Library when you start

    I have 4 of Apple TV, iTunes 12.3.3.xx, Windows 10.  Home sharing works great for listening to the music and movies of my iTunes library... sometimes. Almost every time I turn on my Apple TV and access the application of computers, it tells me to activate home sharing in iTunes.  It is already on and my PC has the value Never Sleep and drive to never turn off.  If I turn off home sharing in iTunes and then turn it back on, the Apple TV immediately recognizes the library and I can listen very well.  The next time I turn on my Apple TV, I have to make the routine all over again.  It was not used to do this when I was with my old XP machine, but I also couldn't upgrade to iTunes 12 on XP.  I had once a Windows 10 machine and put iTunes 12 on it, the problem began.  So, I don't know if it's Windows 10 or 12 iTunes or what.  It gets really annoying.  Please help me understand why my Apple TV can not see my library when I first put it.

    I read a few other posts about people not being able to get home sharing to work at all (where mine will work after home sharing then next turn again).  They said that to disable IPv6 on the network card on the PC solved their problem.  I did, and until now my problem disappeared.  I'll report in a few days once I have the chance to see if it happens again.

  • iTunes, acting as if not registered for Apple music

    Hello

    I just found out today (although the problem might have been there for a few days...) that when I try to listen to an album through Apple music on my iMac version of iTunes, iTunes seems to believe that I don't have a monthly subscription.  He invites me to sign up for the Apple's music.  However, I'm registered!  I just got my last monthly bill on July 1.  Also, I continue to be able to play Apple music on two iPhones hooked to the account and an iPad.  Clearly, the subscription is still active.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    Thank you

    Kevin

    PS in case where someone is thought in this direction, I checked via iCloud and the iMac is still a device registered to this account.

    Kevin...

    Make sure your iMac OS X and iTunes is up to date.

    Open the App Store, and then select the updates at the top of the menu in the window of the App Store.

  • Unable to use cellular data for Apple music

    I tried to use Apple music while on the cell data as opposed to a Wi - Fi connection, but for some reason some do not have access to the app even though I checked all the settings so that mobile data use in my settings. Are there other measures I can take?

    (1) I guess you checked BOTH toggles access to cellular service - under SETTINGS/CELL and under SETTINGS/MUSIC because they both be on.

    (2) If your answer to the above is YES, then you can first try to force quit the music application (double click on the HOME button and then drag upward on the application of music actually close it) and then reopen.

    (3) If this does not work, try to do a hard reset of the iPhone (holding HOME and POWER buttons until the Apple logo appears) and then try again the music app.

  • How to transfer music from my old hardrive itunes library?

    I am trying to transfer mp3 files that have been in my old laptop to my previous hardrive library iTunes on my new computer, without having to transfer all the mp3 files on hard drive across and hoping someone might be able to advise me how to do this. I want only the music that has been specifically on the iTunes of my previous laptop. I already bought a caddy HHD and implemented so that I can access the files on the hard drive. When I go to the iTunes library on the hard disk directory and go in itunes there is no record of music so I don't know otherwise how can I access my old library. Can someone tell me if there is a way to do this?

    Music from your old library would usually be in \Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Is that when you're looking? See make a library of portable split. You might consider the old library running from the external hard drive, or make a new portable library that contains all your media. Anyway you should also do a backup.
