Sync music through iCloud
ICloud lets you sync your music across all iOS devices. To do this, however, you need the iTunes Match program. We'll show you how it's done.
iTunes Match: Automatically sync music to iCloud
If you want to sync the music of your Mac, iPhone and iPad via iCloud, you need the paid Apple service iTunes Match: It searches your entire device for music and uploads it to iCloud - even music albums that you did not purchase from iTunes. You can then use this music on your other Apple devices - including the Apple TV. With € 25 a year, however, this service is quite expensive - Google, for example, offers the same functions with Play Music free of charge.
- To activate iTunes Match on your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app. Under the item "Music" select the entry "Subscribe iTunes Match".
- On your PC or Mac, you can activate the service in iTunes in the "Store" tab under "iTunes Match".
- To subscribe, you must enter a credit card in the iTunes Shop - you can pay for the service using vouchers, but you still need a credit card to activate it.
- Comprehensive: With iTunes Match, you can save up to 25, 000 songs in the cloud - the songs you have purchased from iTunes are excluded. You can synchronize the music on up to 10 devices.
