How to turn iCloud Music Library on and off - usage and troubleshooting

Mobile phone users are constantly increasing the volume of their photos, videos and other data in the device's memory. Especially for this, developers create cloud storage so that a person can upload all the information there, free up space on his device and not be afraid that all photos will be lost if the gadget breaks down. iCloud was first created especially for users of Apple products, and then with the version of iOS 8 and “iCloud Photo Library”. Not every person knows how to work with it. This material will explain what a media library is on an iPhone, what it means to unload objects on an iPhone, and how to turn off the iCloud media library on an iPhone.

Minuses:

• You'll have to pay . The free gigabytes are definitely not enough for full interaction with the service. You need a subscription for at least 59 rubles per month, which provides an additional 50 GB of free space. Not a great loss, of course, but Apple’s machinations are immediately visible;
• It's not always convenient . Storing “exclusive” photos on your iPhone is normal. But immediately distributing all the secrets to all devices is a dangerous business. Sometimes such a synchronization scheme can lead to unexpected consequences.

Update and recovery

If you've tried all the methods and iTunes still can't read your iPhone content, try updating your device's firmware. You can update over-the-air or through iTunes. In this case, it is better to use iTunes, since it does not sync content.

1. Connect your iPhone to your computer. Launch iTunes and select your device. It will be named after its model - 4S, 5, 6 Plus, etc.
2. Go to the Review tab. Click Update.
3. Click "Download and Update". iTunes will download the update files and flash the device firmware.

The only limitation for updating is jailbreaking the iPhone. If you try to update a jailbroken device in this way, it will lead to an “eternal apple” - the operating system will no longer start.

downloading/updating program files

Instead of updating, you can restore your iPhone to factory settings. This procedure is performed only through iTunes.

Before restoring your device, create a backup copy. Back up your device. If you can't sync all your content on your computer, not just music, then save a backup to iCloud.

data recovery

After creating a backup, connect any iPhone model to your computer, launch iTunes and on the “Browse” tab, click “Restore.”

As a result of the reset, you will get a clean device, as if you just bought it from the store. Restore music and other music from the backup to it and try syncing with iTunes again.

Turn on iCloud Photo Library

The program can be switched to sleep or active mode in the settings, and this is done quite simply. Before downloading iCloud, you need to update your operating system to the latest version. This is necessary for the application to work stably and without failures. To authorize, perform the following steps:

1. Go to menu "iCloud".

   
   

2. At the very bottom, opposite the point "Photo" move the slider to active mode.

On Mac devices, entering the vault is just as easy:

1. Open the settings and the “System” tab.
2. In chapter "Photo" put a tick next to the item iCloud Photo Library.

   
   

Now you know how to enable the media library. By downloading files from one device, they will immediately become available on other devices

Please note that all devices must be logged in with the same Apple ID. Otherwise, synchronization will fail.

Media storage

The service is convenient because it allows you to clear the memory on your phone or other device. Once you take pictures on your smartphone, they will automatically be uploaded to iCloud . For those who love photography, an editor is available in the cloud. The program allows you to improve saturation, as well as cut out unnecessary objects from the photo. You can access the photo editor from any device.

The media library allows you to save not only photos, but also videos. If necessary, the video can be reformatted, trimmed, edited. Directly from iCloud, any content can be uploaded to any social network.

Adding a video

Before we figure out why the video isn’t being added, let’s look at ways to transfer files to iTunes. The simplest method is to simply “throw” a video into the program window.

1. Launch iTunes.
2. Open the folder on your computer where the movies are stored.
3. Select the video you want to transfer. Grab it with the left button and drop it into the iTunes window.

If nothing happens and you can’t transfer the movie to iTunes, try another method:

1. Launch iTunes. Press Ctrl+B to display the system menu.
2. Expand the “Settings” menu, go to the “Sources” section.
3. In the “Sources” field and click “OK”.
4. Press Ctrl+S to make the side menu visible.
5. Select the “Movies” section in the side menu. Drag the video you want to add to iTunes into the program window.

If you can't add a movie by simply dragging and dropping, expand the "File" menu and select "Add to Library." An explorer window will open, through which you can select and add a video.

Once the movie is transferred to iTunes, you can connect your mobile device and start syncing. As a result of synchronization, the video downloaded to iTunes is added to the phone/tablet memory.

Problems when adding videos The video may not be added to the “Movies” section, but, for example, to the “TV Shows” directory. Be sure to check it before sounding the alarm.

The main reason why a movie cannot be added is the inappropriate video format.

This can be corrected using any converter that supports the MPEG-4 standard. For example, use the FormatFactory converter:

1. Launch the program, add a movie to it.
2. To configure conversion settings, open the "Mobile" section.
   video format conversion
3. Expand the “Apple iPhone & iPad” item and specify the desired video quality.
4. Start conversion. Transfer the resulting file in MPEG-4 format to iTunes.

If the video is saved in the correct format, but you still cannot add it to iTunes, check the following points:

• Do you have QuickTime Player installed on your computer? Without it, films are not added to the library.
• What is the name of the video file? If the file name is written in Cyrillic, rename it using Latin letters. Some versions of iTunes cannot add files with names in Russian.
• Without Cyrillic characters there must be a path to the file on the computer. That is, all folders must be designated in Latin letters: User, Video, etc.

Users may experience iTunes not syncing new music to iPhone. The problem may arise unexpectedly: until recently there were no errors, and now the audio recordings are not transferred to the computer or phone. Let's figure out why iTunes can't read iPhone content and how to fix it.

Problems creating a backup

If iTunes failed to back up your iPhone and syncing is not working correctly, try the following troubleshooting methods:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. Even if you are connecting an iPhone 4S, the software must be up to date.
2. Restart your computer and mobile device, then try connecting and syncing or backing up again.
3. Change the connection type: if your iPhone 4S or other model connects to iTunes via USB, use Wi-Fi and vice versa.

On Windows computers, temporarily disabling your antivirus and firewall may help. After successful synchronization or backup, the security software can be turned back on.

Disable iCloud Photo Library

Deactivating the function is as easy as enabling it. To do this, in the iCloud settings you need to move the slider in the opposite direction, next to the “Photos” item. Overall, the application is useful and allows you to store a lot of information. If you don’t know how to use it, don’t rush to disable the option, but first study all the requirements.

Many users are wondering how to disable iCloud Music Library in iTunes. There is no point in synchronizing your music collection with cloud storage. Apple Music has a huge music library that allows you to find any music track.

1. On the iPhone, open the “Music” menu.
2. Next to iCloud Photo Library, switch the slider to sleep mode.

Apple Music skips songs

Most often, Apple Music skips some songs due to an unstable internet connection. The fact is that when you launch music from the Songs section, the playlist includes not only downloaded tracks, but also those that are played online.

Apple Music skipping songs? It happens.

An absolutely standard situation: you forgot to pay for your cellular tariff and were listening to music via Wi-Fi, and when you left the house, instead of the lights going out in all the windows, you discovered a random switching of tracks. Pay attention to the Airplane mode . You might have activated it by mistake.

Checking synchronization settings

Before you try to figure out why you can't sync your music, check your sync settings. Let's consider the simplest method - automatic synchronization when you connect the device to the computer and launch iTunes.

1. Connect your iPhone 4S, 5S, 6S, 7 or other model to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Click the device button in the left corner.
3. Select the type of content you want to sync (in this case, music).
4. Check the “Sync music” checkbox and choose what materials will be processed each time your phone is connected.

Iphone storage

If the settings are set correctly, but you cannot automatically synchronize music with an iPhone 4S or another smartphone model, try starting synchronization manually by going to File - Devices - Sync.
