Can Genius access music in the cloud or just what's stored locally?

I have over 24000 songs in the Cloud and over 9000 stored locally. When I select a song in iTunes and click the Genius button, a playlist is generated but it only pulls from my local library. Is it possible for Genius to pull music that exists only in the cloud as well?

I have this same request.  Please tell us that device-specific Genius is a temporary limitation.  Genius does not work well with small datasets--it is naturally cloud-based, and would be a great way to pull desired music onto a device, without having to go through the trouble of explicitly making playlists. 
Genius provides a great, "Pandora-like" user experience against my own music, which I value a lot.  If Genius remains crippled, I will spend more and more time in Pandora, and less and less time in iTunes.  I suspect I am not alone.

  • Can you add music to the cloud?

    I want to add music with a PC that I am not allowed to put iTunes software on. Can you put music in the cloud for download onto your iPad (2)?

    If iTunes does not recognize the music, the iPad won't recognize it either.
    If you have music in a supported format: AAC, MP3, ALAC.   You can transfer it to the cloud by subscribing to iTunes match.

  • HT5085 I have nearly filled my iCloud storage with pictures. If I subscribe to iTunes match, will I still be able to access music via the cloud?

    I have nearly filled my iCloud storage with pictures. If I subscribe to iTunes match, will I still be able to access music via the cloud, or will I have to buy more storage space? Cheers.

    Yes, but... you'll have to first index her music through your iTM subscription. So... you'd have to add her music into your own library first. Which.... would defeat the point of iTM I suspect in your case.

  • I don't have much space in my ipod, can I put music in the Cloud for my entertainment?

    I don't have much space on my iphone so I bought some extra space in the cloud so I could use the space in the phone for business.  My question is can I use some of the cloud space for entertainment, I want to record some music in it?

    The only way you can use iCloud to free up space on your device is by subscribing to iTunes Match.  If you do, your music library would be available through iCloud without having to store all of it on your phone.  (See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.)
    Music and other purchased media is also availble to redownload from the iTunes store (in many countries), however it's best to keep it in your iTunes library if you're going to delete it from your device because it may no longer be available to redownload if you rely on the iTunes store to "store" your purchased media.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.)
    If you purchased the extra storage by mistake thinking you could use it for this purpose, you may be able to get a refund by calling the Apple online store (1-800-MYAPPLE in the U.S.).

  • I need to clear space on my mac and have 2 other devices I need space on- IpHone and Ipad.  I have Itunes match.  If I delete the library from my computer, how can I play music from the cloud on all devices.  S

    I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad.  Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive.  I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud.  Thoroughly confused and frustrated.  Hope someone can help.
    Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up.  Any thoughts?

    If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account.  Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
    The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

  • How can I move music in the cloud to a specific playlist?

    I have music matched several albums to my computer.  When I go to move them to a specific playlist it says that it will no longer be in the cloud and will not play on other devices.  As an example, christmas music is listed as 'Classical" but I have created a playlist called "Christmas" and want it to only play in that playlist on all my devices.  How do I accomplish that?  Also, some music in my playlist has a cloud with a line through it.  These songs only show up on my computer and not on my other devices.

  • HT4914 Can I store music in the cloud using iTunes Match from another computer with a different Apple ID?

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    You can't transfer music (nor any other content) from one account to another account, it will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. Also home sharing only works from a computer to a device (or to another computer), it doesn't work between iOS devices.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then he could potentially log into your account on his iPod (I assume that it's an iPod Touch) and redownload his music on it, but that might tie his iPod to your account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

  • Can't download music from the cloud. Cloud/down arrow will not go away, Any suggestions?

    iPod works fine. iPhone songs have cloud/down arrow and will not go away.

    I, too, am having this same issue with my purchased music. I have had every issue with iOS 7 and I'm at my wits end. I thought all had been corrected, and then last night I purchased an album, the first time since the update, and it absolutely will NOT download to my phone. I have had it with this iOS7 and one of the phones on my plan is due for upgrade, and I'm THIS close.... Please let me know if you find a solution or if yours is corrected.

  • Can not download music from the cloud.

    It worked the first time immediately after install but never again.  I have enabled automatic downloads of music.  I see the iCloud icon on the select bar immediately below the search bar with moving diagonal lines, but nothing seems to download.  When it worked, the Apple icon in the center box was replaced by a progress bar for each song that was being downloaded.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you already checked your settings for the iTunes & App Store? Are you using the same account on both devices "Settings > iTunes & App Stores"?
