Is it possible to save all iTunes purchases to an iCloud account?
I have an iPhone 5C running iOS8, and am running out of memory to install music and movies from iTunes. I was thinking of getting an iCloud account to store all my iTunes purchases on (movies, TV shows, music and books), but can that be done or can you only store pictures and videos you've taken yourself (with the in-built camera)?
If it can be done, there's a couple more questions I need to ask:
1. How do I set it to download to iCloud (whenever I try to download from iTunes it automatically tries to download to my iPhone, and then tells me I don't have enough space available)?
2. Would I still access my movies, TV shows, music and books the same way (using the 'Videos', 'Music' and 'iBooks' apps)?
? Why would you need to? It's in your iTunes account.
Most of what you ask can be done, but there's a problem. ICloud storage is only 5gb FREE. You want any more than that and you have to pony cash to Apple yearly for the extra space. The best way to do this is to use iTunes on a laptop. ITunes storage there's only limited to the storage of the pc and nothing else. Besides, when you load your iTunes ID on it, everything you've ever downloaded from iTunes will be there and you'll have a backup of the phone so you can move or rearrange things for more space. Remember when you purchase something from iTunes it stays listed on your purchased items list for ever so you have access to it if needed. Best luck.
- When i go to purchased on the itunes home page all my purchases are gone? I just got an iphone and i'm trying to download my itunes purchases on my laptop to put on my iphone but when i go to purchases its just blank. I've downloaded stuff from there before but now its not there. My laptop IS an authorized computer.
- On my iPhone, I get all in-app purchases for free - good apps for this? This is due to my jailbreak. I get all in-app purchases for free because of some thing I downloaded through a Cydia source repository. Anyways, any apps that this is really worth it for? So far, I've just used it for Angry Birds to get unlimited Mighty Eagles.
- ITunes help? ITunes purchases won't sync with iphone? So I have an item (an radio show-aka a "song") that shows up in my itunes as purchased, but if I go onto my phone it doesn't say that: It just tells me how much it is like I have not purchased it. I've checked in my purchased files, and it's not there on my phone. I can't sync my phone to my itunes at the moment… Is there any way to get that item onto my phone? Would re-buying it actually charge me?
- Itunes all purchases have been downloaded for this account? So, I had an iPhone which was damaged. I have a new iPhone that will sync recent iTunes purchases, photos, notes, etc. However, it will not sync my old iTunes music. It gives me an error saying "itunes "all purchases have been downloaded for this account" (I have only 3 authorized computers) and says I should burn the songs to cds… How can I sync the rest my music to my phone besides burning my entire Itunes library to cds?
