Q: downloading music from iCloud without wi-fi and merging apple id

Hi, hoping someone can help.

 

We have 2 apple id accounts in our household. 

 

  • Is it possible to merge our ID accounts including all music that we've purchased over the years on the various iphone we've had?
  • I think we've saved the music onto the icloud, although i don't know much about icloud.  When i sign in to icloud i can't see where the music is.
  • most of my music on my iphone can only be listed to when i listen to it via wi-fi from teh icloud.  Does this mean the songs i've purchased are saved somewhere in the icloud and i can no longer simply save the music back to my macbook?
  • How can i even see all the music i have in the icloud?

 

 

Thanks

Rob

    No, you cannot merge or split accounts.

    Unfortunately there are different components to iCloud and it gets confusing. You can't upload music to an regular iCloud account.  Match is regarded by some as part of iCloud but is a different component and you can upload music to a Match account, if you paid for one. If you bought media from the iTunes Store you can re-download some media from its "Cloud" services.

     

    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

    See above  on how to download purchases.  If you use Match you need to say so when you post so we know you are asking about that.

    iTunes 11:
    Menu  > View > Show Sidebar
    Left side, "purchased" under "Store"

     

    iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
