Can't match PC to iCloud

I'm on a Windows 7 PC and a iPhone 4S. Match is on, computer is authorized yet the only way I can play iTunes is to download them to my HDD. They're still in iCloud as iPhone is streaming them and sending them off via Bluetooth to Bose Dock with ease.
Would love not to download a billion and 4 songs onto my system with this beautiful iCloud/Match deal I have goin' on.

Is my Windows 7 OS PC the source of my problem? Do I simply need to take a bullet and download all my albums?
If that is the case, is there any way that I can move the bulk of my iTunes' music data files to another HDD? Pretty please be specific as which folder needs to be moved and if it can be a simple Windows drag & drop. For instance:
Computer > Local Disk(C:) > Program Files (x86) > iTunes > ?

Can I share itune match on separate iCloud accounts my wife just got iPhone

Can I share itune match on separate iCloud accounts my wife just got iPhone

Yes. iTunes Match is tied to the Apple ID you have set for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores. You can share your ID for purchasing, and thus iTunes Match, and still maintain separate iCloud accounts using a different ID on one or both phones. The ID you use for purchasing does not need to be the same as the one used for other services such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.

HT5085 I'm a laptop DJ using virtual DJ. My tracks cary from 128 to 320 kbps. So i decided to purchase iTunes Match. After a few hours of matching my library from iTunes I've still got track 128kbps. I can't seem to get iCloud either.

Match does not change anything in your library. To get the new (uograded) copy for songs that match, you have to delete the original and download the matched copy.

TS4124 Can't see songs from iCloud on my iPhone 4

After iOs 6 upgrade, can't get songs from iCloud to show up on my phone.

Are you an iTunes Match subcriber? If so make sure iTunes Match is set to On in Settings>Music and in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then to see your entire library, make sure Settings>Music>Show All Music is set to On.

Can i store music in iCloud and still listen to it

Hi ken511,
I see that you desire to have a way to store your music in the cloud and be able to play it remotely on multiple devices. There is such a feature, and it is called iTunes Match:
Apple - iTunes - iTunes Match

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library. to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions?

Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

Can't send email from iCloud accounts on Mac

A few hours ago I couldn't login and receive email to my icloud accounts this appears to have been fixed but I still cant send email. I've checked all passwords in preferences.
I can login to icloud via the browser and send email Ok.
I can send email from my iCloud accounts on my iPhone.
But can't send mail using Sparrow or Mac Mail on the desktop.
This all seems to have happened since I installed the latest security update.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.

After recent OS update (10.8.2) I can no longer log into icloud.

After recent OS update (10.8.2) I can no longer log into icloud. I've reset password, but when I try to login on the icloud preferences panel it gives a little "bonk" sound and then spins forever. Open to suggestion. Thanks!

Signing out and signing back in seemed to do the trick as suggested here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19827058#19827058

Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's
LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
THANK YOU!

If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing!

You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

Hello pmarrone,
You may only sign up for an iCloud account via one of the following systems or devices.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

When I try to log onto Icloud in Windows 7 64-bit using my Apple ID it says my Apple ID is valid but not an Icloud account. I can't go anywhere with Icloud after that.
