If you mean from iTunes Match without having them on your hard drive, then that's because they aren't on your hard drive.

why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

You can only buy content from your own country's store - if the music that you want isn't in your country's store then it's because the record company haven't granted Apple a license to sell it there. Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?
You can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

why cant i move my music from my ipod to my computer through itunes

iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

TS1424 why cant i download music from i tune or sync it from my computer ?

why cant i download any mnusic from i tunes or sync it from my computer ..... i can download everything else

You trying to download this music on the phone or on the computer? If you are trying to do this on the phone, that is why it won't work. You cannot download files directly to the phone except through iTunes.

HT204074 Don't have iTunes Match so apparently I can't delete music from iCloud?

How do I delete songs from the iCloud when I don't use Music Match? Somehow, songs I don't want just automatically add themselves to my iPhone after I've manually added only songs I want to be on it... One particular song (I purchased by mistake) is no longer my iTunes library but keeps being added back.
Please Help!!!

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide songs so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for redownloading (that also hide them from the Music app if you have Settings > Music > Show All Music 'on') : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
(For info you've posted in the Using iPad forum.)

I can't delete music from icloud

Hi, i have a big problem. I want to delete all my music in the cloud. I have 3k music and all track are ine the cloud (itunes match). When i delete music i mark 'deletemin the cloud too'. Music dissapears from itunes but are still in my ipad and iphone (all tracks from deleted library, there is cloud icon). How i can delete music in the cloud? I want to start from nothing, when i rip cd (first album in a blank library) and itunes match starts there are show all deleted tracks. Can apple support can reset my itunes match account or something?
Sorry for my english...

Wow, thanks a million! This worked.
Looks like the library got screwed up and disabling iTunes Match with the option key pressed forced it to flush the cache or something. After doing this I was able to remove those albums and also edit tags of music that has already been uploaded to iCloud, which is another thing that didn't work before. I just didn't complain about it, because I read somewhere that this was by purpose.
Also, I was thinking of glueing down my option key so it's always pressed. I can't believe how many undocumented features it hides. Want to choose another library for iTunes or iPhoto? Keep alt pressed. Want to delete a song from iTunes while you're in a playlist? Keep alt pressed, and there's many more. Googling for "option key mac hidden features" actually brought up a few more interesting ones.

Why cant i delete music off of my IPOD

Why cant i sync music from more then one computer without having to erase the music already on my ipod??

I have music on my ipod and i want to add more music from a diffrent computer but everytime i try it tells me i have to erase all the music already on my ipod. ihave tried to do multiple things and it does not seem to work.

Yes, you can use the one that's not broken. It just doesn't have the same stuff as your iPod. So when you sync the content will be erased. If you have a backup, then you can save your iPod content. Anyway, those songs, apps and books you purchased from iTunes can be re-download free of charge.

So if iMessages deleted from one device are not deleted from others why not recover deleted iMessages from iCloud?

I accidentally deleted ALL the messages from my wife from my iPhone, nearly all of them iMessages. Yet, I can see all of them on my iMac and on my MacPro. Indeed, there is a discussion item (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21313040#21313040) that confirms that messages are deleted and maintained independently on each device, even though they are all ultimately resident only in Apple's cloud.
I would dearly love to have all of them back on my iPhone. Yet, reading about 20 or so discussions here, the only way to recover them would be a recovery from my iTunes backup. I have a somewhat recent backup, but I'll still lose about 100 messages that way.
So, if all the messages are still in the cloud, why CAN'T I recover them directly from the cloud to my iPhone? Any ideas? Any software? Is this an App just begging to be built??
Thanks

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

I cannot delete music from iCloud!

I don't have (nor do I want) iTunes Match. Every time I press the 'delete' key or right click the only option I'm given is to hide the music. Please help!

On your iOS devices, you can go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Music off under Show All. In iTunes on your Mac, go to iTunes>Preferences>Store and uncheck Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. This will hide these in your song list. Also, they aren't stored in your iCloud account. What you are seeing are links to the iTunes store, giving you the option to redownload them if desired.

Why cant I delete photos from event in Iphoto 08?

Set to edit in external editor. After trying to open movie, return to event and cannot delete photos. Open and close program a couple of times, reset to edit in new window, re-open program and I can delete, but only by dragging to the trash located in Iphoto window (cannot drag to desktop trash, use delete key, use command-option-delete etc). Works on a couple of photos, then will not let me delete in any manner again.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks
Dave

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

Why cant i play music from old ipod playlist

I have an old ipod classic with quite a few playlist that were created on a very old version of Itunes. I just finished building a new pc thats running windows 7 64 bit and I have succesfully loaded Itunes. When I conect my Ipod classic to itunes and attempt to play an old playlist, the playlist is not populated and none of the songs show up. I can create a playlist with the newest version of Itunes and the playlist will play with out any poblems, its just the old playlist that were created some time ago that will not function.

You need to use something like podtomac or podtopc to get all of your music off the iPod first.
Once it's on your PC/Mac, sync it in the normal way.
make sure the iPhone is de-authorized from your friend's PC and authorised on yours and that you are using your own iTunes login
