Delete download after playing on iPhone?
All seems to be going well with iCloud and Music Match. However, once on iPhone after playing seems to me I should be able to delete songs to keep it from filling up. Right now expermenting on iPad where I don't store music before going to my iPhone which is my music player and chuck full right now.
I like the idea of deletng all music on my device and pplaying through cloud.
How does one keep storage reasonable or once played/downloaded is it there for good?
SIMPLE SOLUTION FOUND!
On your iDevice go to Settings-->Music and set "Show All Music" to OFF
Now return to the Music App and only music you have download will show. Then it is a simple matter so Swipe "Delete" songs that will fill up your iPhone/iPad/iPod

I recently downloaded a song through iTunes on my IPhone.
The song downloaded and can be played on the phone but iTunes is still say that the song hasn't fully downloaded. Comes up with 'Downloaded error, tap to retry' that I can't get rid of.
This is strange as the song has completed downloading and can be played on the iPhone in its entirety!Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

After I have deleted a file from my iphone, it still shows the song with a download button? Is there a way to get rid of this totally, so it doesn't show at all?
The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

Deleting downloaded email from iphone but not web server
I recently purchased an iphone 3gs. My wife has had an iphone 3g for over a year. I am having a problem deleting email on my 3gs. Whenever my wife downloads mail to her phone, she can delete if off her phone but leave it on the web server for our internet provider. This way we can still download all of our mail into Oulook on our home computer. Whenever I download email to my 3gs and delete it from my phone it also deletes it from our web server and either puts iit in the web server trash or on my iphone trash folder, whichever I have it set to go. How do I set up my iphone 3gs so that after I download email to my iphone 3gs, I can delete it from the iphone 3gs and not delete the web server version?
Does the email account provider for the account support accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account?
If so, it sounds like your wife is accessing the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail application and you are accessing the account as an IMAP account. -
I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. -
anybody know how i can fix this, i already tried to turn off itunes match off and on again on the iphone but it does not seem to work, also artwork once downloaded into the iphone it does not stay there, the next day its just a blank artwork and after the internet circles in the top left of the iphone stop spinning, i go back to my music library and then back to the song and it downloads it, but it does not stay there forever, any fix?
it would be kindly appreciated since this is a very annoying bug, specially the songs that just get erased from my iphone for no reason.Hi Kevinpnb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Sorry to hear of your frustration with Music Match on your iPhone. You should be able to delete the music from your iPhone by following the steps in this article:
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
Deleting songs downloaded to your device
You can delete a song or album from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at any time. Don't worry; it'll still be in the cloud.
Tap the Music app.
Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone. Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
If the issue still persists, try backing up your iPhone to iCloud, and then restore it:
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud

I hope this information helps ....

Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:

Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
Apple - iTunes - Match
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
Cheers,

Whilst downloading a movie, my iPhone ran out of charge. Since recharging the "processing" bar has frozen. How can I delete or complete the download?
I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.
