Why can't I manually manage music with iCloud and Apple active?

In a previous discussion, the following point kept deployed: "you must disable the iCloud library in settings on the iPhone, and then manage it manually the music and videos option will be available again."

True, but... WHY? # * % $! ' s sake, I should be able to choose what songs go on my device, regardless of source of the source file. As it is, when I keep iCloud and Apple music enabled on my iPad, I find myself with random files on it which I can't delete until I stopped the two aforementioned services. More than once, my iPad has mysteriously filled to capacity with I not not choose or play music.

It is a major problem, and it needs to be fixed. Apple, please allow users to control their own devices and files the way they prefer. If I want a song on my device, I'll put it here, my computer, from iCloud, Apple music or from iTunes. I just want to play, I'll listen without downloading it. Period. Any necessary additional complications.

  • Why can't I create a rectangle with width and height reagent?

    I created a rectangle with no fill. I gave it a shadow effect. But I can't not only resize with width "sensitive." Why can't resize it with 'width and height sensitive "? It seems that I should be able to do, but I can't (or maybe I'm missing something). Thank you, this should be a simple question to answer, or to present it as an improvement of the obvious feature in the next update.

    An image can be sensitive in width and height !

    So what you could do is to place an image, assign reactive width and height, then double-click it and delete the content, so you no longer have the frame empty to the left, but sensitive to the width and height :-)

  • Computer I have Sync'd with is death - can I now back up / synchronize with iCloud and still have everything?

    Pretty much like what it says. Previously synced 100% with laptop computer (iTunes, photos, videos, etc.) which now shows the blue screen of death permanently.

    If I now go back to iCloud synchronization / backup on my phone, will I have all since it's all on my phone to start?

    Portable ITunes was there music I ripped and realize that is probably a separate issue. I have off-site backup which I can access once I get a new laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can activate the backup to iCloud and it backs up your phone as it is currently. See following information from backups for iOS - Apple Support devices for details of what is included:

    With a wireless network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud. You don't need to connect your device to a computer or even be home to save with iCloud.

    iCloud backups include virtually all the data and parameters stored on your device. iCloud backups do not include:

    • Data already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, calendars, Notes, My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Data stored in other cloud services, such as Gmail and Exchange email
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Tap Settings ID
    • iCloud library and App Store content (if it is still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can type to re - download your content already purchased.)

  • iTunes "manually manage music and videos" option cannot be deselected.

    I changed my options on iTunes and now I can not uncheck "manually manage music and videos". I tried to uncheck and then clicked 'Apply' and after that, there is still not controlled. The first image shows the option checked. Picture 2 shows that "manually manage music and videos" was unchecked and I clicked apply. After I clicked on apply "manually manage music and videos" remains active. I want to know how do I uncheck "manually manage music and videos" and keep it unchecked. Any suggestions?

    What should I options you checked in the SETTINGS > tab MUSIC?

    Sync music checked?

    Entire library of music?

    Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres?

    Is probably a dependency between these parameters.

  • Come on Apple! : why Itunes wants to erase my iphone to manually manage music for me

    Hello

    I wonder if there is a way to activate the option to manually manage music without the synchronization and erasing all the info on my iphone 6. It is terrible because I can't understand how to do this and I do not use my computer to store all the music on my iphone, and I don't know how to backup all my pictures and etc. in my computer. I have activated this option before on another device and was angry because when Sync I lost all my photos including images of my great-aunt who could now be passed away while she was struggling with cancer was given a little time to live. I am currently using a third-party program called AnyTrans to add titles to my iphone but I want to be able to do simply in itunes instead. That said, does anyone know how to enable this option for those of us who don't do the thing whole sync? As is - this does anyone have ideals about why itunes forces you to synchronize when you change the settings?

    Appreciate any help and advice given here. Thank you!

    Hello

    For the sake of Apple, you can only toggle a device of automatic synchronization to manual management without removing the media on this issue when it is connected to the library, with which it was previously synchronized. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device library for general steps to recover all media on a device in the local library, after what you can afford wipe and reload it. If you choose to manage manually in the future you should keep all of your media in a local library that you have backed up so that you can restore your device or replacement as and when the need arises.

  • Why can't I just move on with windows7 starter to windows 8, my computer is only 9 months since purchest?

    Why can't I just move on with windows7 starter to windows 8, my computer is only 9 months since purchest?

    So it will not uninstall then install my programs, or what, then another question is the offer for $14.99, that's what I was watching and I filled a free upgrade and probably has not been fully tested for this upgrade, he said I would be able to get the upgrade, but there is no decrease in my emails guess still in work. While {s it improves just $ 40 million that I should wait for a version pro or ultimate?

    And what will happen to my saved files?

    and I'll be able to restore to the factory with warranty setting and I can use my series to my computer for the upgrade?

    NOW please if you don't know it please tell me I would like to know some facts and since there is so much development, in my view, the pro version is yet to come, so...

    Windows 7 Starter is not eligible for the offer of $14.99.  Only Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. If you must upgrade to Windows 8, then you have to wait on the upgrade $ 39.99 for Windows 8 Pro that will become available October 26, 2012.

    The upgrade will allow you to keep your applications, personal files and settings.

    Yes, it should be able to restore the factory State, but always backup before making changes on your computer like installing an operating system:

  • How can I send my music to icloud and free up storage on my ipad that is full

    I own an ipad and iphone 6. the ipad is about 4 years old approx. full of downloaded and transferred other CDs and my storage capacity is busiest. How can I send my music to icloud and free up storage on my ipad. My iphone has not been synchronized with ipad. Cannot update my ipad for this reason software also.

    Thank you very much

    You can send music in the cloud of a device. You can delete music, and if it's purchased iTunes music you (if it is still in the store and you have not reached the country since purchasing it) may of it redownload purchased in the iTunes Store app tab. Because you own music (for example copied from CD) you'd need have subscribed to Match iTunes on your computer and downloaded the music to her computer, to show him in the cloud.

    You have all your music in your computer's iTunes library? Update of the iOS via a computer version should also require less free space on the device (but the update via a computer requires your content in the iTunes library, the update process will take up a back, wipe the iPad and install the iOS update and restore the backup, the backup contains things such as your documents photos, contacts, settings, etc, music, apps, etc. is picked up in the iTunes library)

  • How can I organize my music with iTunes and iTunes game folder?

    I used iTunes for Windows for a few years and 2 years ago started with iTunes game. There are 81 000 files in my folder of music, with 35 000 files in a subfolder of my iTunes. iTunes has about 10,000 songs. Some songs are in my music only and some are in the music/iTunes/media folder. Some are both. With 81 000 files, it is impossible to set this manually. Is it possible to do this with iTunes?  I've never played music with other programs. Is the set of the 'my music' folder in Windows managed by iTunes?  I have a double file Finder application that will get rid of DUP, but I worry that a lot of the music is not in iTunes game. How can I fix the entire folder? Where can I I start again with iTunes game?

    Hello Shirazsh,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you are looking for a way to listen to your music not connected to the Wi - Fi that does not use your cellular data. Take a look at this support article: Add music to the music from Apple to your library catalog

    This section describes how to do exactly what you are looking for:

    How to download music to listen to offline

    You can download songs, albums, or playlists on your device so that you can listen to them when you are not connected to the Internet, you need to download tracks, albums or playlists on each device that you want to use for offline listening.

    In the application of the music on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or iTunes on your Mac or PC, find the song, album, or playlist that you want to download. Then:

    • On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: tap download .
    • On your Mac or PC: click Download .

    If you do not see or , you need to add songs, albums, or playlists in your library first.

  • Why can I not listen to music without wifi on my new ipod touch.

    I'm frustrated that I went out and bought a new ipod because that my last one broke, and I can't understand why I can't listen to my songs on it withought be connected to WIFI...

    Thank you!

    You use an Apple music subscription or is this music that you own and synchronize was to the iPod via iTunes? If his music Apple so won't make music available for listening offline by downloading the songs?

    If you have not connected to wifi in a while Apple music may require a temporary connection to validate that your subscription is still active, before he'll play songs downloaded offline. I don't know exactly how many times he needs to do this, but on my iPhone I can still play my downloaded music to Apple if I pass the iPhone in airplane mode.
