iTunes moves to the iCloud, re-download of purchases now possible

my back up failed..is it free to redownload them on the icloud?

Seems the music is us only? I'm in sweden and can only redownload apps and books.

If the app has been pulled from the App Store, you won't be able to download it again, even if you've purchased it. I purchased a game scoring app called "EZ Score" which has been pulled from the App Store. It was deleted from my iPhone, and is not in the Purchased list... Fortunately, I found a copy on my external backup drive and was able to import it into iTunes and resync it to my iPhone. My point: don't rely entirely on anything that is supposedly smarter than you... ;)

Noticed a reference to iTunes 10.3.3 on the iTunes Features page. another update is imminent, then!

NB: If you re-download tracks purchased from iTunes prior to the 256k/DRM-free era (pre-October 2007), you'll simply be re-downloading the same 128k/DRM-laden files you purchased way back when. I just found this out the hard way.

Two things I'm hoping get clarified soon. 1) Do we lose our dot mac/me email addresses on June 30, 2012?
2) Will we still be able to use BackUp to back-up data to iCloud? (I use it to back up about a gb of critical files).

Nice that it will be free (though 5 GB is a little sparse for my needs); but I'll be really unhappy if I loose the two features above.

I'm hoping the automatic syncing can be set to run on wifi-only, or turned off. If it started syncing through 3G many people in NZ would go broke very fast. Don't know how much data allowance the rest of the world gets on cellphones, but here it is prohibitively expensive, even for people that spend the extra cash on Macs.

wel this sucks, i've owe an iPOD since Gen1...now an iphone 4 I've NEVER bought a single song on iTUNES always like having the CDs personally. or using my big library that I've had for years... really stinks not being able to put all that to the cloud and sync it... big SNAFU for me and not fair... I wonder if after paying 25 and getting all your music up if you can cancel and keep the features... seems like that would be fair deal, instead of having to pay per year.

I was really hoping I would be able to stream from iCloud to my new Apple TV.

From 5 PCs and unlimited iPods, iPhones, iPads to 10 "devices" might not be a good deal? I suppose Apple TVs are "Streaming Only" now... I already have 5 PCs (dad+mom+3 kids) and 3 iPhones... I'd guess this means it's time for kids to get their own...

The main issue I have so far is with kids that do stupid things with their camera phones.. Now they'll AUTOMATICALLY UPLOAD? One right-wing zelot away from having all our kids stuff monitored by the morality police... I'm hearing... "It's a trap!"
Grumble... Why a new siteand new signon method today???
