Can i delete my musics from my HD once they are on icloud?

I have many questions about itunes match. After "uploading" my musics to icloud can i delete them from my computer and later download them from icloud so that a i can have the 256kb aac version of them?
Why many of my music dont have the cloud icon beside the music name?
How should i know when my music was converted to 256kbs?
Thanks

You can easily see which songs are "matched" or "uploaded" by enabling the iCloud Status column in the iTunes Browser. Pull down View > View options, select "icloud status" and click OK.

Once most of us want to download the files the best quality possible, its pretty nice observe how many songs were really matched or simply uploaded. In my case i guess about 70% were matched.
Keep in mind that upgrading of your music is not the primary purpose for which iTunes Match is intended. It is a very nice side benefit, though.

Does anyone knows if changing the music tag (ID3?) helps improving itunes store to match more songs? If so can do it in itunes or finder? Thanks a lot!
Modifying the ID3 tags will have very little if any affect on whether a song is matched or not. The main thing iTM relies on to do its matching is the waveform of the song.

  • Can i delete my songs from my computer if they are in the cloud

    Can i delete all my music off my computer if everything is matched in the cloud? But still be able to play the music on the computer?

    Hi,
    Yes, you will be able to stream music on your computer whilst you have a wifi.
    However have a read at this.

    Make sure that your music is backed up on an external HD

  • Can I delete songs/videos from my computer if they are already on my iPod?

    Can I take my songs and videos off my computer once i have them on my iPod? They take up an enormous amount of room and I would like to use it for other things.

    You need to select the iPod in iTunes.
    On the Summary tab, select manually manage music.
    Note that if you delete it from iTunes, do not have a backup and your iPod crashes, you will not be able to download iTunes store purchases again. You will have to reload your own CDs again also.
    Also, not that you ALWAYS have at least 10%-15% free hard drive space on your C: or boot drive.
    If you are close, I recommend you get an external drive. I've them regularly as low as $50 for an 80GB external drive. yould easily use this for your library.
    I have a 250GB external drive I paid $100 at CompUSA.

  • HT4859 Can I delete all pictures off my iPhone once they are backed up on ICloud

    Just wondering before I delete photos and videos off my 4s phone to free up room (almost 4gb) on a 16gb phone? Thanks

    Don't rely on iCloud to back up your photos.  Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, and a maximum of 1000 photos.  Your iCloud backup will contain camera roll photos, but if you delete them from your phone, then back up again, the next backup will not contain them.  iCloud keeps up to 3 backups, but the backup containing the photos you deleted will eventually be overwritten.
    To ensure your photos are safely backed up, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you want to keep your photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before importing your photos.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash?  They are not locked.

    Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.  I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either.  I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck.  Can anybody please help?  iOS 10.8.5

    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
         sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

    ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

    In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
    Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.

  • Can i delete photos from my comp once they are stored in time capsule without losing them?

    Can I delete my photos from my computer after i have backed up to time capsule without losing them?

    NO.. this is not how TM works.. once deleted from the Computer, it will be deleted eventually from the back.. when is unknown.
    See Q20 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Use an external drive to store the photos and include that in the TM backup.
    If you copy the files to a separate directory on the TC, that is different to using TM.
    But then you have no backup and the TC has no backup of itself.. indeed it cannot.. nor can TM backup a network drive.
    You never want to have only one store of your files. Especially things like photos which are irreplaceable.

  • I just stored all my pictures in iCloud. Can't I erase them from my phone since they are now in the cloud?

    I just put ALL of my pictures in iCloud. Is there a way I can erase them from my phone since they are now in the cloud?

    Mitzi0111886,
    While you can't delete the photos from your iPhone without deleting them from iCloud, you can enable Optimize iPhone Storage in Settings -> iCloud -> Photos.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

  • TS4124 After uploading all music to iCloud can i delete the music from my laptop?

    Hello!  My first visit, and hope I am doing this correctly.
    I have two two questions.
    1: Having uploaded all of my music to iCloud and iMatch, from Laptop running Windows Vista, to iPad and iphone 3GS can I safely remove the music from my Laptop and just recall it from 'Cloud and Match' as required?  Rhereby saving memory on my laptop.
    2:  When uploading my music to iCloud and iMatch I noticed that allmusic was removed from iphone, thereby, freeing up memory BUT the music remains on my iPad at all times.  How can I get the music to sit in the cloud and not on my ipad?
    Thanking you, you clever ones!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can remove the content from the laptop, but if anything in iTunes match is removed from the iTunes store, you won't be able to redownload it. Hopefully such instances will be minimal.
    Payout can delete anything on the iPad by swiping it and tapping the delete button. I'm not sure why it left everything on the iPad when you turned on iTunes match, it did that on my iPhone too the first time, I can't recall what I did, but it was removed at some point.

  • Can't delete purchased music from my iPhone

    Hello everyone.
    I recently bought an album from iTunes.  I hate the music but I cant manage to delete the album.
    1.  If I delete it from iTunes it stays on my iPhone, then when I synch it comes back to iTunes.
    2.  If I uncheck all the songs from the album then set synch to "only synch checked songs", it still stays on my iPhone
    3.  If I check "backup to cloud" or "backup to computer" it doesn't make a difference!!!
    Can anyone help, this is driving me crazy!
    Thanks :-)

    On your iPhone, swipe your finger across the song listing and tap the red delete button.
    Before you sync again, delete the album from iTunes on your computer.

    What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
    Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents.  For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.

  • How can I delete my music from the iCloud that is now on my phone?

    After downloading the new update, ALL of my 1500 songs from the iCloud are now on my phone. I have over 300 kid songs because I am a teacher and I really don't want all of them on my personal phone. I have joined iTunes Match to try to get rid of them. Everytime I hide or delete them, they are still on my phone. When I sync again, they go back on my computer. HELP!

  • HT204150 To get my daughter's iphone4 setup I used my account#, and because I did this my contacts were on her phone. She deleted my contacts from her phone and they are now off of my phone. How do I get my contact back on my iphone4s??? Please help becau

    I tried to also remove my account# from my daughter's phone so that we could get one assigned to her, but there is no edit prompt, so please tell me how to accomplish this. I really need to get my contacts back if that is possible, which I hope it is.

    When you share an iCloud account any synced data such as contacts is merged.  Also, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the other.  (That's what iCloud does; it syncs changes across your devices so they maintain consistent data.)  Unfortunately, you contacts are no longer in iCloud.  Your only option is to try restoring your phone to your last backup, which may recover your contacts.
    To sort out your iCloud issue, one of the phones need to be migrated to a separate account.  On the phone that will be moving, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your daughter's data from your account, and vice versa).
    Another thing to avoid is using the same ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  If you do, you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  If you're doing this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (such as your iCloud ID).  Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Can't delete some music from iPhone

    I have an iPhone 5 and am running iOS 7.1.2.
    Sometimes I want to change the music I have synced up with my phone, and I will try to add or delete music.  When I add songs, everything is fine, but when I delete them individually, they won't always delete.  The file doesn't appear in the iTunes playlist on my (broken 2009-era) PC after deletion, but it appears in iTunes on my phone and will play from time to time.  I can select it from the list, too, as though it were never removed.  Help - what's wrong?  Is this an iPhone problem, an iTunes problem, or a file problem?

    I think the problem is that all the music shows as in the cloud but not necessarily on the phone, is there a way to just show whats on the phone, its my sons phone but connected to my itunes account.
