I deleted a song off my PC, and evidently from the cloud as well

I was deleting music from iTunes, most of it duplicates. I deleted a song from an album I'd purchased in October, and it's no longer on my PC or the cloud. I have it on my iPhones, iPad and iPod, but it is nowhere on my computer or the cloud. The rest of the album is there. When I go to the store it shows I purchased the album. The list of songs shows "purchased" after each title, but that button is ghosted after this particular song. I cannot find any option to download the song again; it has the ghosted "purchased" button beside it. All the other songs have a "play" button. So, I cannot even purchase this song separately so I can add it back into my library. I don't want to chance connecting one of my devices, I'm afraid iTunes will delete the song since it's no longer in my library. Please, what can I do?

Hi cyn37211,
I can certainly understand how your music library can get disorganized with data from different sources.  It's a constant challenge for me as well to keep all of my music, photos, videos, etc. organized.  Did you ever back up your PC to an external drive? If so, you can add these files to your iTunes library.   Here's how:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

    Delete it on the device.
    Music isn't stored at iCloud unless you use the iTunes Match service.

  • How do I delete apps from the cloud as well as my device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2)

    I am using an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2.  I want to remove apps from the devices as well as the cloud list. (Not on this i***). Help!

    To delete apps from a device press and hold any of the apps on the device's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with iOS 7, after hiding apps on my computer's iTunes I've been needing to log out of my account on my iPad and then log back for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
    If you need to permanently delete data from iPhone, My recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser, which can erase all data including contacts, messages, call history, apps, system setting, photo, video, keyboard cache, safari bookmark. Indeed, iPhone Data Eraser worth trusting and it makes the work more effective. What you need is a windows computer. One single click and data deletion finish. In addition, the program also works well with iPad and iPod Touch.

  • If I delete photos from my camera roll will I lose them from the cloud as well?

    If I delete photos from my camera roll will they be deleted from my cloud as well?

    No, photos in photo stream are not effected by deleting photos from your camera roll.  However, while photo stream photos are not deleted from your phone after they are in your photo stream album, photos older than 30 days are deleted from photo stream.  These means if you ever turn photo stream off, or connect a new device to photo stream, only photos added in the last 30 days will be available to download.  To keep them permanently, import your camera roll photos to your computer before deleting them (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • Can I load songs onto my ipod nano (7G) from the cloud without downloading it to my PC?

    I just bought a 7G nano.  All of my songs are in the cloud.  My computer has little space for my large collection of music, podcasts, and videos.  I just bought a couple of albums and they went directly to my ipod when I synced.  The rest of my library, however, was left in the cloud and didn't make it to my ipod.  The only way I can tell to transfer my music from the cloud to my ipod is to download it from the cloud to my PC.  Is there a way to bypass my PC and go directly to my ipod? 

    You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • I just replaced the hard drive on myn Macbook pro and am now trying to import my address book and calendar from the cloud but have not ben successful

  • In ITunes when I'm using home sharing if I play the songs on another computer it cuts the songs off maybe 10 seconds plus from the end why is it doing this?

    So I have ITunes Home Sharing on my desktop computer on.  When I go to another computer and play the songs from the Home Share computer the songs get cut off maybe 10 seconds + at the end of the song.  In other words it will not play the last 10 seconds of the song sometimes it's last 5 seconds sometimes its the last 15 seconds it seems to vary.  I can't really find a pattern on the timing but I just don't understand why this is happening please help!

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • Why can't I watch shows I purchased and downloaded from the cloud?

    I purchased a season tv show and I cannot watch anything on my PC.  It seems that iTunes totally freezes up and cannot play the show.  I unistalled iTines and reinstalled once already.

    Go to the "Privacy" section of the option window, and make sure that Firefox is set to remember your browsing history, and not to clear history on exit. Then you should be able to choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" in the startup options.

  • How do I wipe and restore from the cloud

    Hello, I recently lost the computer I was locally syncing my ipad to (it crashed badly). I have enabled the icloud sync for the iPad 2 I use to be backed up there.

Has anyone done a"cloud back up down load" did it work? Or am I in trouble? Also how do you "wipe" or reset the ipad for back up info to be reinstalled?
