Cloud icon on own videos

Since I enabled iTunes Match there has been cloud icons inmost of my videos and movies. The problem here is most movies and videos are not purchase through the itunes Sotre and some are filmed by myself.
I understand the purchased videosshould have a cloud icon but what about my own videos? Why is that?
If I go to the music ection and then to songs I can look at the iTunes Match status and those videos are clearly classified as not qualified. As far as I know there is not the posibility to upload your own videos to the cloud so... why?

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set "use cellular data" to ON (green) then power cycle your iPhone. Also, make sure the initial scan, match and upload process is finished in iTunes. Not all music will be available on iOS devices until this initial scan is complete.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

ITunes match turned off on iPhone4s but still showing a "cloud" icon

I have signed up to iTunes Match and uploaded my entire music collection to the service.
I have turned this functionality off in my iPhone 4s so that all music that appears on this device, should be music that is physically stored on the device.
However, next to some albums/artists, a "cloud" icon is still showing.
My first question is, what does this icon mean?
Secondly, I cannot understand why this icon appears to some content and not others (see below).
Again, all my music I have matched or uploaded to the "cloud" via iTunes Match (Windows) but with Match turned off, the icon is still appearing for some reason and only next to some content not all.
Interestingly, no cloud icon whatsoever shows next to any individual song (under the "Songs" tab) regardless of what shows under "Albums" or "Artists" tabs:
I am at a complete loss.
I have turned iTunes Match on then off on the iPhone4s to try and correct the issue but no joy.
Can anyone help?

Hi Michael,
Though I've solved that particular problem there's still two issues with regard iTunes Match.
Number one, I'm genuinely worried about switching it on again on my iPhone. As soon as you enable it it threatens to 'replace' the music that is already on the phone and that to me is where things start to go wrong.
You're not the only person to be concerned by that alert dialog. As long as the songs that are already on your iPhone are in the cloud they will not actually be removed. They will remain on the iPhone.

Secondly, on my phone currently I have just 120 songs all of which 'exist' on the phone with 'Manually manage music and video's' AND 'Sync only checked songs and videos' as my iTunes set up under options...
With iTunes Match enabled on your iPhone, those settings no longer apply. Direct syncing of music via USB or Wi Fi is disabled and all music management will take place on the iPhone.

However, if you look at the attached screen shot the unticked songs are still appearing in the list but I have deleted these from the phone. These were the leftovers of my last iTunes Match download across a 3G network last week and won't disappear from the list even though they're unchecked.
What version of iOS is on your iPhone? This was a pretty serious bug in iOS 5.0.1, which was fixed in 5.1. But for some people, me included, it required restoring the iOS device to factory, then restoring the backup before the "ghost tracks" would go away.

Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought? I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question. Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded? I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud. ( My computer shows the icon.)

What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

Cloud icon doesn't appear; space still being used on ipad (or is it on my computer? I'm confused!)

What is the main selling poiint of iTunes Match? I subscribed because I'm loading my cds onto my new ipod, and I have more cds than it will hold. But the gb space didn't go to zero. Do we have to manually delete every song?

KeithJenner is correct - if you have music on your iPad and you sign up for iTunes Match, the locally stored music is not automatically removed. You have to do that yourself as he described. After you have removed the music from your ipad, if those songs were also on the computer you used to sign up for iTunes match, you will still see them in the music list on your iPad. If you click to play a song it will download a copy. There are other ways to download music too, such as from a button at the bottom of an album track list or from a playlist.
The headline of your post said "cloud icon doesn't appear." If you tell us where you are looking for a cloud icon and what you want to do with that cloud icon., we might be able to help you. cloud icons of one sort or another are used in many places in iTunes Match.
You also asked what the main selling point is for iTunes Match. While every person has their reason for using the service, in general it is looked at as a way to have access to all of your music on all of your devices, without having to keep all of your music locally stored on them all. It lets people with different music on more than one computer add it all to a central location too. You can read more about it at the link below. There is a link to a video at the top of the page that you might find helpful

Cloud icon in library

Recently I've discovered several dozen tracks in my itunes library with a cloud icon beside them. I never bought or downloaded these tracks. Where did they come from and do I now own them?

That makes sense and that's what I thought at first glance but when I looked at the tracks I didn't recognize them. I really don't think I ever bought or downloaded them. And why would so few of my tracks be in the cloud?
And what does this message mean:
"Adding icloud items to your playlist will download a copy to your computer?" If I'd downloaded them previously why wouldn't they still be on my computer
Thanks

I have downloaded creative cloud but I do not have the creative cloud icon on my computer?

I have a membership to Adobe and have access to all the CC programs through the Icon "Adobe Application Manager". But I do not have a Creative Cloud icon in my applications? I also cannot sync fonts from Typekit as it says "Desktop font sync is not available on this operating system or device". When I click on the "learn more" it says the program only runs on "OS X 10.7 and higher", even though my computer is up to date. I can access all my creative cloud programs, Photoshop / Illustrator / Indesign etc... Which confuses me as to why it is saying I cannot sync fonts as Typekit/Creative Cloud will not operate on any systerm lower then OS X 10.7..
Ahg, confused. Help!

I can't get my own videos in iTunes 6

I just bought the new iPod video 30GB, and downloaded the new version is iTunes (v. 6) for my PC, and i am trying to import my own videos (yes, they are mpeg 4, so i know they are compatible with iTunes 6 and my new iPod). I found an article that said drag-and-drop is the way to transfer your own videos to iTunes, but that isn't working. There is no option or menu that asks which folder i want my videos from (like you can do with photos in the preferences menu). I tried calling Applecare, and they want to charge me because their own FREE product doesn't work. Does anybody know how to work this, or encountered this problem?

I found the answer to my own problem, and probably yours as well. I knew ahead of time that the new iPod video would only be able to play mpeg 4 videos (or quicktime videos), and i could've sworn these were mpeg, but they were .wmv instead.. so i found another discussion that suggested using Nero 2 to change the format to mpeg4, and that worked! i changed the format for all my little videos in no time using Nero 2 (downloaded from download.com), and now dragging and dropping still doesn't work, but i found out the answer again: create a folder specific for all your little videos, then go to File >> Add Folder to Library... and then select your folder. It will automatically put all your new mpeg4 videos in the video portion of iTunes and update to your iPod accordingly... now my only problem is my new mpeg4 videos look like UTTER CRAP on my iPod... if i fix that problem i will get back to .. me.. on that...

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

My music won't download on to my ipad after I click on the cloud icons

I try to download music from icloud onto my ipad. After clicking the cloud icon on all purchases it downloads the music but it doesn't appear into my music app.

OK, assuming you have "automatically update all songs and playlists" checked in iPod properties and the songs were purchased from iTunes. Do the problem songs play OK in iTunes? An authorization problem is a possible case of not transferring.
Another possibility, the songs are not checked and you have "Only update checked songs" checked in your iPod properties.

TS4124 I have the cloud icon next to music heading in iTunes, not individual songs, am I waiting for something???

I have match, I have a cloud on my heading music in iTunes, I have no music on iPhone other than my past purchases and apps. Am I waiting for something to happen in iTunes with this cloud? I don't have clouds next to songs, I can't download anything even though match is on all devices. Please help.

The small cloud icon to the right of your songs means the song is not stored on you devices drive, not that it was uploaded to iCloud. You can listen to that song, but it's being streamed. If you tap on the small cloud icon it should download the song onto your devices hard drive. Once you do that the icon should not reappear again.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

The dropdown menu from the Creative Cloud icon on the menu bar keeps giving me the following message: "Download Error" I quit and restarted the creative cloud app to no avail. Running Mavericks on a mid 2011 iMac.

Try below steps once
click Gear icon on the top Right corner and Quit Creative Cloud App
Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad
It will open Go to folder window, type exactly ~/Library and click on Go
Make sure to open ~/Library not /Library ( there will be two Library folders )
Then open Application Support > Adobe folders
Trash AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
Then launch Creative Could and check.

How is it possible that i can play music marked with the cloud icon in the music app when i'm not subscribing to itunes match?

When I'm on the same WiFi network as the computer I sync my iPhone to, I can se a lot of songs in my music app marked with the little cloud icon. And when I leave the network, I can see only the songs with this icon that I have played and therefore probably cached.
Where can I read more about this function and get to know it better?
It seems to work like iTunes Match, only limited to 'local' use. I'm not an iTunes Match subscriber, but I have the 'Show all music' setting enabled.
It's a cool function, both it's a bit annoying that i uses up my available storagecapacity. I keep getting warnings that my storage is almost full.
Does the cached music automatically dissapear since i haven't added it while syncing?

This feature is called...
iTunes in the Cloud
It uses no storage on your phone or any in your iCloud storage allocation.
