How do I access my music in iTunes without downloading? I want to hear the music not save it on multiple devices...

Thanks, I tried that. It shows me only the songs i purchased and just gives me a snippet of the song. After much more reading and a phone call, it looks like Match will stream all the songs in my iTunes account without having to download them, but of course for a fee :( Thanks though.

ITunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this?

That is stealing.

HT1727 I have iTunes music on my iPhone and I want to transfer the music to my iPod. But my phone uses a different iTunes account than my old iPod. How can I move music on my phone to my iPod? Thank you.

I have an old iPod that has a different Apple ID than my iPhone. How can I put all the music on my iPod and get it off my phone? I'm not sure how to mix the music from two different apple id's.

Hi KathySA,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can sync songs to your iPod from your iTunes library on a computer. You may need to authorize the computer with both of your Apple IDs:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod

iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

If some music from the iTunes Store is only on your iPhone, you can transfer purchases to the computer:

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

HT1386 I have an older ipod classic with tons of music I collected over several years. I want to add the music from this to my itunes library. When I connect it, I don't see that option. How can I do this?

I have an older ipod classic that I have had for about 5-6 years. I used this to download music from cd's through an older computer that doesn't work anymore. I want to add the music to my current computer I-tune library, but can't figure out how to do it. How do I import this music from my older itunes ipod so that I can then sync some of it with my iphone. Hate to lose all of this music since it took me years to collect and download it.

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

Ok here goes. I have so much music I don't want to store it all on my computer and would like to store on an external hard drive. So if all my music is on the external hard drive, how will iTunes see it in order to play the music. Thanks
