Deleting music downloaded from iTunes Match

I have a first-gen iPad and its synced with my Windows 7 computer. I use iTunes Match on the desktop, a  Win7 laptop, and the iPad. I downloaded some music onto the iPad, and now its taking up about 2.5 Gb of space that I could use for other things.
I found a link to a walkthru here, but its for an older version of iTunes. I tried doing it anyway, but as the instructions said, connect the iPad, open iTunes, and click on the iPad icon, then on the Summary and check "Manually Manage music and videos." Well that's not an option, all it says is Manually manage Videos. No mention of songs anywhere, not even in the other tabs as far as I can tell.

I've had a case opened up for at least a month, now.   
I re-tried my Jay-Z album and it's still borked.

  • Cannot delete music downloaded with iTunes match

    I have a lot of music loaded onto my iPad Air reform on iCloud.  Some is purchased from iTunes, some is personal music uploaded from my home computer.  I have 2 albums that I do not want on my iPad but I cannot delete the songs from it.  Most songs allow me to swipe left and delete them, but the songs on these albums have no effect when I swipe left.
    Any ideas what seems to be locking these onto my iPad?
    Thanks!

    On the iPad go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).

    Hey imol92,

    It is all the public information on removing songs that you have uploaded to the iTunes Cloud.

  • Only partial songs are downloaded from Itunes Match

    Only partial songs are downloaded from Itunes Match, they stop and go on to the next song.  Any ideas?

    I too had this issue. On the Downloads screen in iTunes simply uncheck the box at the bottom left that says "Allow simultaneous downloads". Next, delete any of the affected songs from your library and then re-download them from iCloud and songs should no longer abruptly cutoff or jump to the next song.

  • How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?

    How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my  computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

    Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

  • HT4915 Mass download from iTunes Match to new Mac Mini

    Is there a way to mass download from iTunes Match to new Mac Mini without having to click on the download icon for each song?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select them all and use ctrl-click to bring up the contextual menu with the download option in it.

  • Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12?

    Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12? I can't get it to load into Photoshop Elements. When I finally get to the file it kind of just disappears. Do I have to get the song from someplace else?

    Barbara, I don't know how to get to the artwork to remove it. I saw a post on this forum on how to show hidden files and went to the control panel and followed the instructions. I still can't see any hidden files or artwork. Hope you can tell me where I am going wrong.

  • HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

    I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

    The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process.  It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
    The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
    Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

  • HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

    when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

    The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
         <User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
    If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
    Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

  • Can I restore my accidentally erased music library from iTunes match?

    I was making room on my external drive for my back up, when I erased the Time Machine back ups as well as my iTunes library. Is there a way of bringing my library back from iTunes Match?

    Hi,
    I presume that you did not not delete your iTunes library from within iTunes. Can you recover from trash? Also why did you manually delete your time machine backup? Time machine manages your hard drive space and removes older backups when more space is required.
    If you have iTunes Match, open iTunes and turn on match.
    If you see the tracks listed and you see the " ! ", delete all tracks but don't delete from cloud. Highlight tracks and download. If you see the tracks with download icon, highlight tracks and download.

  • HT204406 Downloading from iTunes Match.

    I am trying to download one of my albums from iTunes Match, and only some of the songs are downloading (yes, I clicked download all).  The songs show the circle as if it's going to download, but then the "Cloud" icon reappears, and the download begins with the next song.  I have tried deleting the album and starting over, but that doesn't work.  Anyone know how to fix this?  Happens when I try Cellular Data or just Wifi.
    Thanks!
    Sean

    Yes it will use data on your cellular plan unless connected to wi-fi.

  • High CPU usage when downloading from ITunes Match

    When attempting to download matched songs from ITunes Match, ITunes utilization spikes to over 70% and makes it almost impossible to do any other function on the computer.  Eventually ITunes fails to respond.  I have tried several remedies including reseting winsock.  Is there any other options I should try?

    Hiya,
    could it have something to do with the write speed/ cache/ram? On a "slow" disk, or one that is nearly full or one that is partitioned, it will take a great deal more ram and cache to "digest" the faster download and write it onto disk. I tend to do downloads to a separate drive. Have you got one? and can you repeat the high CPU usage when downloading / saving to the external drive? I note your drive might have 5,400 rpm, with "just" 8mB cache and 320 GB (quite a few SATA's have 7,200 rpm and 32 mB cache).
    NB: If anything, I found SL more efficient, especially on my 4 year old Macbook, which is running much faster and has got more responsive after installation of (full version of) SL.
