Deleted Songs stay in the Cloud?

hi,
so today i tried to "rematch" around 800 songs that were previously uploaded and not matched to the cloud even though i'm fairly certain most of them should have been matched. therefore i deleted those songs from my library as well as from the iCloud but once i add those songs again, it doesnt even bother to match them, it shows "uploaded" instantly ...
is there no way to rematch songs? is there the possiblility that those songs stay in the cache for a certain amount of time and i should wait a few days before i try to match them again?
if apple indeed does not delete anything even though the "delete from iCloud" would indicate such, thats kinda worrysome

At this time there is no reliable way to "rematch" songs.
When tracks are deleted from the cloud there is a delay between the command being given and when the track actually gets deleted from the server. It doesn't happen immediately. No one knows just what the delay is before the cache on the servers is cleared, though. It is a safe bet to wait at least 24 hours, if not more, before re-adding tracks to a library. But keep in mind that just because a track in your library is for sale in the iTunes Store does not mean it will be matched. If the track was "uploaded" previously it will probably still be "uploaded."

Problems with deleted songs staying in the cloud

I re-added 12 albums I had 2 days ago back into my iTunes, and most matched up with no problem. When everything was done, I opened up my iPhone Music app, and it said there were 78 albums, instead of 12. I looked and found a bunch of tracks were under Single album somehow, no biggie. I re-tagged everything in iTunes to hopefully fix it, and waited about 12 hours, and no changes. I deleted everything from iTunes, sent everything to Recycle Bin, and made sure I hit the checkmark next to Delete from cloud. Everytime I add a new album to iTunes, all these albums pop back in. No matter how many times I hit "Delete from cloud". It's about 15 hours after I deleted from cloud, I just opened up my iPhone, and the albums are still there in my music app, able to be downloaded or played. How do I get rid of these? Why won't they disappear? I've never had this problem deleting things from Cloud before.

Hi,
I suggest that you turn off match, close music app and completely shut down your iPhone. Make sure that your iTunes Match library is how you want it to appear. Leave for 10 minutes or so then turn back on your iPhone. Turn music app back on - this should either show no music or just tracks previously downloaded. If there are previous music, go to settings > usage > music app and delete cache. You should now have and empty music library.
Close music app, turn on match then reopen music app. If this has worked your library will start to update.

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

Is there a way that I can delete songs off my computer but they will still stay in the cloud for my iPad and iPhone?

My family has two computers, two iPads, and an iPhone. My wife has different tastes in music than I do and purchases wayyyyy too much music that I consider "noise". Additionally, she has well over 400 playlists. I don't want to have to see all the playlists on my computer but occasionally she will create one for me on her computer. I thought the iCloud was going to be the answer to our problems.
But now, every playlist on her computer shows up on mine, and every song on her computer shows up on mine. Is there a way I can delete some of the songs from my computer (and some of the playlists) without it removing the songs/playlists from the cloud?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Sir Churchill, I tried deleting one of the playlists from my computer (Playlist 130). The next day I checked my wife's computer and noticed that Playlist 130 was now missing from her computer as well. Is there a way that I can delete a playlist from my computer without it disappearing from hers as well?

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

I have a song that skips on my main mac because its a downloaded copy. But on my other devices(iPad, Apple TV) it does not skip because its in the cloud. How do I make a downloaded song back into the cloud?

Delete the track from the iTunes library, but not from the cloud.

I can't delete songs on my the greyed out music on my iPhone

I can't delete songs on my the greyed out music on my iPhone. I've tried deleting it all by going on settings > general > usage > music and deleting it there but it just stays there despite saying 'music: no data'. I've tried unticking the songs when i plug my phone into itunes but it just comes up with a grey exclamation mark and i've also tryed just syncing my muisc and that doesn't work either
I don't want to restore my phone though because i don't want to lose my texts or notes, helppppp

I wouldn't - uncheck Sync in Music tab of iTunes then re-sync and see if your music disappears from your phone.

When i sync music on ipod deleted song stay on songs list

When I sync music with iTunes on my ipod deleted songs stay on song list and cannt be deleted.

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

How can I delete an app from the cloud??

how can I delete an app from the cloud, so nobody can download it again to my phone?? please I tried from the computer but it just hide the app from purchased, and still appears in the app store with the cloud on it

At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone. Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

On Ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the iPhone

on ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the phone

i think i stumbled onto a solution.
the upgrade to os7 brought a bunch of music into my phone i didn't care to hear anymore.
(free downloads from the itunes twitter feed..some of them are good, most of them i normally delete immediately)
i had 3 pesky songs that would not allow me to delete.
every other song in my library gave me the option to delete, just not the ones i never wanted to hear again.
..super frustrating when the song keeps starting over everytime you touch it while scrambling for a delete option.
they were purchases which i'd hidden.
i plugged to computer and tried to use iTunes to delete but they did not appear.
all "show all" options for music and video were off.
itunes match was off.
all automatic downloads were off.
"show all music" was off.
i logged out of my apple ID for several minutes.
i think this may have given time for my account to resynchronize the items i didn't want to see anymore.
i've logged back in and they're still gone.
i don't care if i hear a new eric clapton song again for the rest of the year thank you.

How do I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues and won"t let me sync..

How can I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues, any new purchased songs are not syncing with Ipod 3rd generations.

Do you have the original installation disc(s) that shipped with your MacBook? You're just going to have to start from scratch - as I doubt that you can recover any files without paying a fortune. Insert the installations disc, reformat your hard drive and then install the OS that came with your computer. Continue updating to 10.6.8 and then redownload and reinstall Mountain Lion again.
That's really the only way you're going to get your machine up and running again. I would also consider buying an inexpensive external drive to use as a backup in case your brother decides to do something stupid again.

How can I increase the time deleted emails stay in the trash folder?

Sometimes I find that I need to refer back to an email that was deleted. Right now the emails are dumped from the trash folder very quickly. I would like to let the deleted emails stay in the trash folder for a much longer period of time.

Is this on Comcast email? Another email site?
Usually this is set in the options for the site, and not in Firefox itself.
