• Anyone using iTunes game on 10.5.8?

  Hello

  I'm looking for people who are music Apple and iTunes game subscribers who use the game on the old Mac, specifically the machines running 10.5.8 - I really need some advice, or better yet reassuring, just what I'm trying to do.

  My main machine is an iMac running Yosemite 2011 & and iTunes 12.4.1.6. I am a subscriber of Apple's music as well as a game of iTunes Subscriber and I am VERY picky about my library... I have invested a lot of time in my music over the last decade (sides, custom illustrations, lyrics, metadata, etc)-I would be absolutely devastated if my library got screwed up somehow.

  Now I have this old PPC PowerBook G4 bearing around which cannot not be updated all other than 10.5.8 and so has iTunes 10.6.3 installed (the most "current version" for this system, as far as I know). This laptop has not been used much in the last two years, but he is still going strong, and so I decided to reactivate it. Today, I realized that iTunes game is actually supported by iTunes 10.6.3, so I created a new library empty and lit Match, just to see if it would work. And to my surprise it worked: all my music is there, all works of art, everything looks great. Only the titles of music Apple are greyed out off course - they have the status 'pending' (iTunes 10.6.3 obviously knows not what to do with these tracks, but he always "sees").

  So my question is: will I live things if I use iTunes game (& music from Apple, somehow) on this old machine? Maybe on the PowerBook iTunes completely end confusion because obviously, it does not recognize the Apple music tracks? I would really appreciate it if someone who uses a similar setup I described to share their experience with me

  Thank you & see you soon

  Hello

  Music Apple is not compatible with OS and iTunes on your old machine. Have you already discovered, you can use iTunes game on your old computer. Your old computer is grateful for the music that has been matched or downloaded. You should be able to listen to or download this music, but it's not what you have added music from Apple.

  I use the latest OS and iTunes, but I don't think that your use of the old computer will confuse your existing upward set. As a measure of protection, you must hold another to the top of the iTunes library.

• I used "iTunes game" for 1

  I've been using "iTunes game" for 1 & 1/2 years and not "Apple music" (released on 30/06/15). Everything worked as expected before the "Apple"music. I could access all my downloads on my PC, the iPod & iPhone iCloud 5 (no automatic download).

  I could only access "iCloud bought" songs on my iPhone when 'Apple Music' was communicated. They have been downloaded automatically witch took the precious memory.

  All the songs of "matched iCloud" (not the purchase via iTunes) will not appear in the 'My music' library, but they are now in 'All Apple music'. If I select a song that I downloaded via 'Match iTunes' default to the screen saying 'start 3 month free trial for the Apple's music '.

  All other "iCloud mail' (not matched or purchased) are not accessible more in the library 'my music '. According to me, it's very unfair and against the statement that "for $25 / year, Apple will allow you to broadcast up to 25 000 songs from your library iTunes music to your devices with your Apple ID.»

  My PC and iPod still work as expected only because, and an update of ios has not forced to basically default purchase "music from Apple.

  I'd appreciate comments.

  I started with the same problem on my iPhone a few days ago 5.  Suddenly iTunes radio doesn't work and my playlists are gone also. And I was under the impression that with Match Apple iTunes Radio is free.

  Hope someone has an idea.

• Securities is no longer play in my music (using iTunes game, wifi...), has done before, can download and then play, but not stream - all, it was fine before!  Help!

  I hope that someone has had a similar problem and a solution!  I tried resetting the phone (5s, latest ios etc...) to factor settings, setting back via iCloud backup, reset connections network again, you name it!  Basically, I play all my music (which was more often downloaded from my PC at home using iTunes game, as I already had a vast collection of CDs before buying my first phone) via a wifi connection and have had zero problems (using various home wifi connections) and besides... until a week ago.  Today, only some beaches (and incredibly, they can vary from day to day...) on some albums (in general, not an entire album, either...) won't play - he simply "jump through" them.  However, I can upload them on my phone (on the same wifi connection, you mind) and they will play very well!  Obviously, however, I don't want to (can't - much too) to download all my songs to play!  Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

  Make sure that your device is updated... Sometimes new songs are not compatible with the old software.

• 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.

• If I have iTunes game my music will take even up to 10 GB of my iCloud space?

  If I subscribe to Match iTunes my music will take still a part of my iCloud save the "cloud"? Music and photos do not count when iCloud is out, but after that work is suddenly wasn't. So now I have 20 GB backup and its almost full. I wish I had iTunes game, but it wouldn't make much sense if he did not save me some space on my iCloud drive! I don't have even a third of my music imported in my iTunes library or on my iPhone, because I have no room for it. I have a very large library. If I get the iTunes game I would have access to all my music, or at least most, but if it is still used my iCloud backup space then it would be foolish to pay for iTunes game, then have to pay more for even more storage on the cloud! I hope this feeling!

  The music is not part of your back upward.

  If you do not use iTunes game it will not use your iCloud storage space either.

  You could try turning iCloud music library off on the phone, then turn it back on again.

• iTunes game but no connection to the music in the cloud?

  I use iTunes game and I started iTunes (12.4.0.119) on my MBP (mid-2010) today to listen to the music (I usually use the iPhone 6). But I can't because all the songs have an exclamation mark next to them and are not on the computer. They never had because they were all in the cloud. And they are still available on iPhone and iPad (1st gen mini).

  I connected and iTunes and even checked the State of the game to iTunes subscription. Everything looks good (subscription will be automatically renewed in December 2016) but there is no menu item to check the iTunes connection game, and obviously, it is not available on the MBP, it was before. The column with the symbol of the cloud is also empty.

  How can I (re-) establish the connection of media game Cloud library iTunes?

  Hello

  Hello

  ITunes game uses no storage iCloud. He needs analyzing your music on your computer in order to determine what can be mapped and must be downloaded. Once the music in the cloud, you need to turn on icloud music library on your iOS devices.

• Cancellation of Apple's music has grayed out some songs from iTunes game

  Background:

  • I use iTunes game.
  • All the songs in my library have been downloaded by me.
  • I tried Apple's music for a while and then cancelled.

  Question:

  • Some of the songs that I downloaded in my subscription of Apple's music are now gray out and unable to be played.
  • On the iPhone (and previously on my Mac) I wonder to renew my subscription to Apple's music when I try to read them.
  • It seems that iTunes thinks that these are songs from Apple's music, when they certainly are iTunes songs Match (most of the songs is not yet on Apple music).

  Attempted fixes:

  • I tried all kinds of re - authorize etc and nothing works.
  • I talked at length to Apple on the phone who now asked me to install OS X (which I'm hated to do that I don't see it being a problem of BONE).

  How can I return these songs? Is this a known bug?

  Okay, that was user error. The songs were incorrectly uploaded from another computer!

• iTunes game convert my files...

  I wouldn't go as far as naming me as an "audiophile", but I can certainly tell the difference between @ 256 kbps AAC files, and those with the bit rate of a CD.  That said, I spent 3 hours looking for an answer to the cause of my frustration - iTunes game is to convert my files to the ALAC.  When I registered initially for iTunes game a few months ago, precisely, I remember reading somewhere (could not find where so earlier I could quote it) on the Apple Web site that your original in your library files would be unchanged.

  What happened - I noticed today that several of my 'matched' songs had the iCloud beside them download icon. At the time, I was streaming from a Macbook Pro to my home theater receiver using AirPlay, and my iPad for the remote control.  Inadvertently, I clicked on the download icon, which would have been understandable if I was streaming directly from the music app on my iPad, but since I have access to my library on my Macbook, which seemed weird.  This song in particular had been torn from a CD under ALAC format somewhere in the ballpark of 900 kbps bitrate.

  So I went back to my MBP and pulled up in my library - I had played several songs from this album even and only downloaded one.  All the songs that were played were replaced by 256 Kbps protected AAC files.

  Why it's important - iTunes game has been around for several years.  I recently upgraded to it because I had to - I wanted to try the Apple music, and you can't do it, without activating the iCloud, iTunes game aka sharing.  Long ago, I was in College and knew "everything" we were downloading MP3s as fast as our dial-up connections and Napster let us.  It dawned on me that the digital music would be the future, so I ripped all my CDs on my computer (and horribly low flows).  Now I have a nice stereo and can really enjoy the difference between compressed and uncompressed music - granted my ears are not enough to hear a significant difference between 44.1 kHz/16-bit music and audio files of 192 kHz/24-bit Hi Res discern. Having said that, I started to buy my music library in some cases for the third time.  I buy CDs and their extraction in my iTunes as the ALAC files library.  At least until iTunes deems necessary to convert these files down to me.

  So I guess what I'm asking is - is there a way to get around this or am I just wasting my time with music from Apple and iTunes game? Implement a second library of songs only lossless would be a solution? Is it possible to include only one of my libraries in iTunes game?  Must I give up my wish that I can do everything in iTunes and move my library to something like JRiver Media Center?

  For what it worth - I just shot to the top of the album in the Finder and the original file is always there, it is has been replaced by the lower bitrate file in the iTunes window.

  Hello

  ITunes game corresponds to the ALAC as 256 Kbps or transcribed the titles uploaded to 256 Kbps. It does not change your originals unless you choose to delete and replace. Corresponding or downloaded files will be available to listen to or download on other devices.

  You can have a separate library that you do not use iTunes game or Apple's music. Read this tip user do and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only broadcast from the cloud.

  So you can keep iTunes library Match, separated from your library without loss. If you keep the game and Apple's music in a separate library is your decision. You do not have to match, but read this:

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

  In my opinion?

  I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

  Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

  As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

  From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

  Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

  I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.
