How iTunes Match works with iCloud

2011-11-14T21:53:00.001-08:00

With the release of iTunes 10.5.1 the much delayed iTunes match feature is now available. iTunes Match allows you to store songs even songs you've imported from CDs in iCloud and you can play them on any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC - whenever you want and wherever you are, without syncing. Read more...

How iTunes Match works

iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. The match is a three step process involving analyzing your library, matching songs, and uploading non-matched songs. It does this for your whole library. One drawback here is that you cannot choose to exclude songs. If you don't want songs to be included you will have to take them out of your library.

iTunes Match: Matched Songs

Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Chances are that all of your songs are already there on the iCloud since there are more than 20 million songs in the iTunes Store. And for the few songs that aren't, iTunes has to upload only what it can't match which is much faster than starting from scratch.

Once your music is in iCloud, you can stream and store it to any of your devices. Matched songs from the iClloud are downloaded at 256-Kbps AAC DRM-free quality. The cool thing here is that this applies even if your original copy was of lower quality. Even better is that you can get the higher quality song to be replaced in your library.

What you need to do is to remove it from your local library. After delete since the song entry stays in iTunes a little cloud now shows up in a newly added column that shows you that you have a song that is in the cloud but not in your library. You can click on the cloud and it will download it to your local library, where again it is now permanently yours at the higher bit rate.

iTunes Match: Unmatched Songs

The songs that are not match by iTunes Match are copied in their current format and bit rate up to 320K. Songs encoded as MP3 or AAC will be uploaded as is. These songs will be made available for download in the same format it was uploaded in. Songs encoded in ALAC, WAV, or AIFF will be transcoded to a separate temporary AAC 256 kbps file locally, prior to uploading to iCloud. The original files will remain untouched. Song files over 200 MB will not be uploaded to iCloud.

Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud unless your computer is authorized for playback of that content. Songs purchased outside of the United States iTunes Store containing DRM will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud. Songs encoded as AAC or MP3 with a bitrate lower than 96 kbps will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud.

Other iTunes Match Features

iTunes Match uses your songs meta-data. If you have made lots of custom edits to your song files, iTunes copies exactly that to the cloud. Even if you replace your songs with the upgraded versions iTunes Match retains the previous meta-data that you created.
iTunes runs match on any new material that is added. i.e. when you rip a new album it is matched or copied to the cloud depending on how the match worked. Also, when you change meta-data, it immediately moves that meta-data to the cloud.

How to subscribe to iTunes Match

iTunes Match is a $24.99 per year service providing full access to all your music up to 25,000 tracks from any of the devices. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your subscription. iTunes Store purchases made with the same Apple ID being used for iTunes Match do not count towards the 25,000 song limit.

Launch iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You cannot subscribe to iTunes Match from an iOS device.
Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
From the main screen, click "Subscribe for $24.99."
If you already have an existing Apple ID that you use for iTunes Store ourchases, sign in with that Apple ID and click Subscribe.
Once you agree to the iTunes Match Terms and Conditions, iTunes will automatically scan your iTunes library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume iTunes at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed scanning, matching, and uploading any unmatched songs, click Done.

How to make FaceTime call on iPod Touch 4G

2010-09-06T18:50:00.001-07:00

As you all know by now, one of the coolest new additions to new iPod Touch 4G is the FaceTime feature that allows you make video calls to friends and family across the globe. The FaceTime feature allows you make video calls to other iPod Touch 4G and iPhone 4 over WiFi. Read more...

This feature is made possible by 2 new cameras introduced on the iPod Touch 4G. One on the front, which focuses on you. And one on the back, which focuses on what's in front of you. Note that FaceTime lets you switch between them at any time during a video call.

How to do FaceTime call on iPod Touch 4G

All you need to get started is an Apple ID and an email account. You can choose an email account you already have or, if you prefer, set up a new one.
Make sure your iPod Touch 4G is connected over a Wi-Fi connection which is the mode of communication for the FaceTime Video. (If you want more info on iPod Touch Wi-Fi settings visit How to connect and manage iPod Touch Wi-Fi).
Making the actual FaceTime video call is as simple as it gets:
1. Just tap the FaceTime app.
2. Find the person you want to call.
  - When calling someone using an iPhone 4 or later: Try the phone number of the person you are calling first. If the person has registered an email with FaceTime, you can use that as well.
  - When calling someone using an iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac: Use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.
  NOTE: On iPad 2, iPod touch, and FaceTime for Mac, you need to add a person as a contact using the FaceTime or Contacts app before you can call them.
3. An invitation pops up on their iPod touch or iPhone 4 screen asking if they want to join.
4. When they accept, FaceTime begins.
Receiving a FaceTime Video Call:
1. If somebody wants to start a video call with you, you'll receive an invitation - along with a vibrating alert - on your iPod touch asking you to join.
2. Simply tap Accept, and the video call begins.

Troubleshooting FaceTime problem

If FaceTime call is not working then first try making a FaceTime call to Apple's FaceTime testing number at 1-888-FACETIME (1-888-322-3846). By doing this you can find out if the problem is with receiving calls or making the calls.

Issue 1: Unable to activate or make FaceTime calls

Try turning FaceTime off and on again using the following:

iOS: Settings > Phone
FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences

Issue 2: Can't place a FaceTime call to a particular contact
Try the following:

Verify that you have the correct phone number or email address.
Use the correct method of contacting the person. If you are calling:
- An iPhone 4 user: Use the phone number
- An iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac user: Use the email address

Also check the following:

Check that each person has an active Wi-Fi connection.
- If you are using router, firewall, or security software that restricts Internet access, verify that port forwarding is enabled. Make sure that the router supports UPNP and that the Universal Plug-and-Play (UPNP) feature is not turned OFF.
Verify that the date and time are set correctly on your iOS device or Mac.
The Apple ID you are using to register FaceTime on iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac must be an email address.

If your Apple ID is not an email address, you can change it on appleid.apple.com. This article provides instructions on how to change the Apple ID.
