Can we delete songs in iCloud without having to subscribe or enable iTunes Match?

I'm having issues with the hidden songs in iCloud. They always show up in my download queue when I update iTunes or redownload iTunes. Is there a way to delete the songs from iCloud without enabling iTunes Match?
Thanks for the help! Or the ideas.

You cannot delete anything from your purchase history in icloud at all.

  • How do i delete a song from iCloud without having to subscribe to it?

    How do I delete a song from icloud without having to subscribe to it? I've deleted the song from my iphone and my computer, but it is still in icloud, but I can not delete it. It keeps on wanting me to subscribe to icloud. Which it is not fair or right for me to have to pay to delete something. Would anyone please help me? I am using windows 7 home premium 64bit Operating system. The song is stil showing on my iphone, but i need to delete it from icloud for it to not show on my iphone.

    Hi,
    If the song has been purchased from itunes store, you cannot delete the song from the cloud but you can hide it. - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
    You do not need to subscribe itunes match which is a different product from itunes in the Cloud.

  • Can I delete songs from my computer to free up space, using iTunes match?

    Hi,
    I love iTunes match, because it brings my entire music library to all my mobile devices without being limited by internal storage space.
    But, now I have the problem that my computer is running out of free HDD space due to my gigantic itunes library. 
    So, my question is:  Can I free up hard drive space by simply deleting files from my computer, and rely on iTunes Match to download/stream those songs that I want to play after I've deleted them?  It should work, right?
    This operation clearly relies on iCloud to host all of my songs, where iCloud becomes the 'master repository', rather than my computer.
    Has anyone been able to successfully operationlize this?
    Many thanks,
    Mark

    Actually, further to my last reply, I just played a song that wasnt located on my computer any longer (I deleted the file but left it in iCloud when prompted by iTunes).  The song has an iCloud icon next to it.  I double clicked it and it started playing.  When I opened up the info windon on this song, the Location says "iCould".  So, that leads me to believe that indeed we can delete the files from our master computer, and, stream them or download them from iCloud!  How great is this?  Can anyone coroborate this?  Cheers,  Mark

  • How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

    I have two computers and I would like to have my iTunes library on both. How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

    Create a smart playlist with the criteria being location - not on this computer. Then select all, right click and download.

  • How do you delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having them deleted from devices?

    I need to delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having those files deleted from all my devices.  How do I do that?

    Just got off the phone with Apple customer service.  It seems there is no around this problem.  Once you use iCloud, you're screwed. The day you decide you don't want to have certain files store in iCloud, but you still want the files accessible on your computer, you have to spend valuable time copying/hiding a set of files on each device, and then re-setting up those same files in each device they way they should be once you delete them out of iCloud.  Same thing if you decide to cancel your lCloud account. 
    No software should have the ability to hijack your data this way.   

  • Can't delete songs from iCloud

    I recently deleted 100+ songs from my PC.  When I went to sync my iphone, all of the songs remained on my phone.  I also have itunes match, and wifi sync enabled on both devices.  Still, all the songs remain on my phone.
    If I turn off itunes match on my phone, the song placement is just random, I don't even know how it's sorting what to put on my phone, but just a random 50% of them are there.  So that doesn't work at all.
    In iTunes on my PC, If I click "On this iPhone" all of the songs are there.  If I go to my music library on my PC, only the songs I need are there.  I have tried syncing, restarting, (everything is updated) called apple care a couple times (I lost the call halfway so never got to finish) but it was nothing that they could fix in a 10 minute period.  Any ideas?

    1)delete those 100 songs from the folder on your pc NOT itunes
    2)plug in iphone and sync
    3) in itunes find those 100 songs, sort by the cloud icon to make this easier...
    4) right click on them and delete them.... another box will appear... Do you want to HIDE these items from icloud aswell? CLICK YES

  • Can I log in to iCloud without having any Apple devices?

    I don't own any Apple devices. I am using Windows 8.1. I have iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows HP laptop. I've subscribed to iMatch to store my iTunes songs on iCloud. When iTunes was automatically updated, iCloud 3.0 Control Panel was also installed on my Windows 8.1 computer. When I tried to sign in to iCloud I received this message:
    "Cannot Sign Up. This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud Account."
    I'm confused. I thought that I had an iCloud account throught my iMatch subscription.
    Do I have to own an Apple device in order to log in to iCloud? How do I log in to iCloud? How do I set up an iCloud Account?
    I tried to call Apple Support about this issue, but they asked for my Apple Serial Number, and I don't have one because I don't own an Apple device.
    I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

    You have to have an Apple device to create an iCloud account (not just subscribe to a service like iTiunes Match).  You have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

  • Can't download songs from iCloud in Canada, purchased from Hong Kong iTune Store

    I have an Hong kong apple account. Now I'm in Canada, and I bought a song on iTune store. It was downloaded to my iCloud but I can't get that song from iCloud to my Mac.. Why is that so?? Is that related to the regions I am staying right now?

    Hello holi890
    Try signing out of your iTunes account and deauthorize. Once that is done sign in and Authorize the computer to see if that resolves the issue. If it still doing the same thing, then check out the second article to troubleshoot access to the iTunes Store.

  • Can i delete emails in mail without having to delete them in the original mail program.

    I wish I did not need to use my original Llive account to organize and delete emails, etc. I was hoping just to start using Mail and editing everything from the Apple mail program instead of having to do it in both Mail and in Live. Otherwise, it accumalates a lot of email in both places. It is supposed to make it easier so I do not have to do everything twice.

    Option 1.
    In Mail Preferences, select Advanced tab for your Mail Account and check the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" option. This will delete all your messages from Live.
    This selection will only remove new mail (i.e. mail received after you make this selection)
    Option 2.
    Right click on your Mail Account in the Viewer Window and select "Get Account Info". This will allow you to select and delete messages from Server you don't want and keep the ones you do.
    This is no different from going to the web interface and deleting the mail from there.
    If the OP wants to keep the webmail and mac mail in sync then Live is the wrong system, an iMap or Exchange system is needed.

  • How can I disable iCloud without having my documents deleted?

    Hello everyone.
    Before trying out iCloud, I had a number of documents on my ipad. I decided to try iCloud, but upon switching it back off, my documents were deleted off of pages. Upon restarting iCloud, they reappear.
    So my question is, how do I turn off iCloud without having my documents deleted?

    > Syncing documents with iCloud is not enabled by default.
    Then you shouldn't come on so strong. I have a 200 Gig Dropbox account and I have been wary from day 1 of using my 1 year MobileMe "free" storage that would eventually go away if I didn't pay Apple. I would not, and did not, set iCloud to save my documents.
    I'd like to get the real answer from Apple emloyees. If you can not delete from iCloud without deleting on the computer, it's a bad design. What I'm talking about is very easy with Dropbox.
    thanks

  • Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

    once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

    You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device.  Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option.  The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device.  Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded.  Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it).  As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
    If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
