Deleting songs from ICLOUD are they still on the computer I made the purchase?

I am visiting some relatives and I am working on my notebook computer, I accidentlly deleted a play list from ICLOUD MATCH, can anyone tell me if my playlist I deleted is on my desktop computer in which I made the purchase and organized my playlist?

Hi there,
I've done something to my iMac and I'm not quite sure what happened. I went and changed the name on my "home" icon. When i went to my email- it needed keychain permissions- so i said ok. i'm guessing that it deleted my previous account. Ithen went to update some software (safari) and i needed to restart my computer. When it restarted- it opened up clean...email needed to be reset up, iTunes- empty- acts brand new; same with iPhoto- all my pics gone. I was able to find my documents-but no luck on the rest...And when I tried to save a new photo- it is telling me that my hard drive is out of space- leading me to believe that my music and photos must be on there somewhere...
I have searched- but to no avail. Not sure what to do. and I don't have any other "accounts" to open - such as my old name.
Anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated in advance!

So many issues here!
1. You should never ever change the name of your Home icon - that's the short name of your User Account which is a total no-no. (Why don't Apple issue a grim warning when users try to do this?). Check out these old discussion threads which may contain something of interest or help :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7069252#7069252
https://discussions.apple.com/message/4675452#4675452
2. This needs recovering from - see the first discussion thread (above). Your User Account is being treated as a new one, but your old data should be there - read the discussion
3. You must have been close to a full HD even before this happened? This is inadvisable - you should always have around 10% of your HD free, or at the very least, OS X will start to slow down dramatically.
Hopefully the first thread above will point you to a fix of your problem.

Itunes match has expired and i've lost more then 5000 songs... are they still in the cloud somewhere if i do take a new itunes match subscription?? HELP!!!!

Hi,
If you do not have a back up or the tracks were not on your hard drive, you will have lost all your music except for itunes store purchases.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean you deleted the files from Pages on your phone whilst using iCloud, then yes they will disappear from Pages on your iPad too.
If you simply deleted the app from your phone, if you were using iCloud then they should not have disappeared from your iPad.
It's not clear from your post, which of these you did.

How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?

HT4914 Why do I have to pay $ to delete songs from iCloud?

So you're telling me I have to PAY $24.99 per month to DELETE songs from iCloud? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I think you are confusing iTunes purchases with iTunes Match.
What exactly are you trying to do?
You can not delete iTunes purchases but you can hide them so they don't show up on your devices:

Use iPhone/iPad to Permanently Delete Songs from iCloud/iTunes Match

I have iCloud and iTunes Match, but I am doing my annual "spring cleaning" (yes, I know it's winter) of songs I don't really listen to or want to keep anymore. I want to delete them permanently from iCloud/iTunes Match. I used to do this in iTunes on a computer. I would delete them from the Song list and it would prompt me with a question to the effect of "Do you want to delete these from iCloud as well?"
Well, I am operating solely on an iPhone and an iPad now. I don't have a computer anymore. So I don't have iTunes software anymore and thus don't have this means of deleting songs from iCloud. I don't know how to delete songs from iCloud USING my mobile device. If I delete a song from a playlist or from the device itself, it is still out there in iCloud and still shows up in the list of songs at my disposal. I DON'T want to cheat the system and turn off the settings feature that "shows all music" in iCloud because then I won't be able to see anything I have at my disposal in iCloud. I want to be able to see my songs in iCloud, but I want to be able to permanently delete from said iCloud songs that I don't care about anymore.
So how do I do it from iOS devices?
Please don't tell me it can't be done without iTunes on a computer. That will just irritate me and drive another nail in the coffin of my growing frustration with Apple.

I honestly don't think you can do it. Nothing I've found online allows you to do this, which is awful because these songs still show up and play when on shuffle. I've even selected "only show me music on this device" and I still see some songs I've deleted and are only on icloud and I have no option to swipe and delete. I'm with you... forcing me to do this on my pc when every other need for syncing has since been removed is very annoying.

Deleting songs from iCloud seems to not be working for me?

Hello,
I'm having a huge problem currently. I have read the faqs on "How to delete songs from iCloud?" and understand it perfectly. But tonight I'm trying to delete this album out off my computer and it was deleted because I seen the album go straight to the trash. I emptied the trash can and for some reason when I go to click "Update iTunes Match". The album I deleted pops back up via iCloud. Now I then deleted that hoping the songs would delete from the iCloud also. Well loe and behold the songs came back again via iCloud. These aren't purchases made via iTunes. These are songs I've uploaded using a purchased music CD from Best Buy. And they seem to not be able to leave iCloud for some reason. No matter how many times I have to delete them.
Is there any way around this?
I have iTunes Match and I'm using a MacBook Pro (OS Mavericks).

Hello Kitkat1017,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you are both logged in to the same Apple ID in your Messages settings, which would cause you to get the same messages on both devices. If you select "Send & Recieve" in your Messages settings, you will likely see the same Apple ID logged in on both devices.

Change of functionality in deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match with the 11.0.2 version of iTunes?

I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and this version brought a change of wording regarding deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match, and I'd like to know if there are any changes in functionality to match the change in wording:
With version 11.0.2, when I try to delete any song (uploaded, matched or purchased) I'm presented with a pop-up dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and also gives me a "Also hide this song from iCloud?" option.
In prior iTunes versions the pop-up dialog box would ask instead "Also delete this song from iCloud?".
Has the functionality changed? If so, what's the difference in functionality between 11.0.2 and previous versions? If the functionality of deleting songs has changed, how do I delete an uploaded song from both my local library and iCloud/iTunes Match?

I am having the same issue- pelase could anyone help? Mods?

Why do I need to re-download my songs from iCloud if they're already in my cloud?

Why do I need to re-download my songs from iCloud if they're already in my cloud?
I have iCloud on my iPhone 4S with iOs7 and I have both added all my Music on my iTunes to my phone manually and also have them on my cloud. Under iCloud settings on my phone I have "Show All Music" toggled "On". When I'm driving and want to listen to a certain song, most of the time the song I want is grayed out, unable to be played by my phone, and the only option I have is to "Re-download" it from my iCloud--I get this little picture of a gray cloud with a red downward arrow displayed and my Music takes forever to load. I also get this annoying pop up message telling my I might be subject to additional data fees for .....re downloading music I've already downloaded. Its' annoying.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Content needs to be on your phone before it can be played, if it isn't you need to download it. If you see content with a cloud icon next to it, it's telling you it isn't on your phone.

Songs from iCloud are downloading on my phone and i can't download new songs how do I remove those songs

So, how do I unhide and subsequently delete songs from iCloud? (help...)

I have been trying to sort my 25k+ library in the last few weeks (1243 purchaced from iTunes store and approx. 23,000 from my 20-years collection). After I managed to bring it to a healthy status it terms of artist name, song title, genre, album etc. they only thing that was annoying me was the album artwork. Before the new enhanced 'Find Artwork' feature in iTunes 11, I had used other third-party apps from the app store that they are supposed to find almum cover images...BUT the vast majority was "not good".
So, I concluded that a nice and neat solution would be to remove my entire 25k songs collection from my iTunes library (stored localy on my iMac) and from my iTunes match (store on i Cloud) and re-insert the songs, after of course I kept a backup.
My suspicions started when the message I got was "hide from iCloud" and not "delete from iCloud?" instead (iTunes 11.0.1).
I thought "they must have just rephrased the message in the new update", believing that the result would be, as anticipated, to actually remove the songs from iCloud, so I could continue with my plan... and therefore I clicked OK.
The big dissapointment was when I re-inserted my songs. None of the songs can now be detected and uploaded/matched in iTunes match, not even the the purchaced ones. All of my songs iCloud status is "Exceeded Limit".
I would like to know how I can a) unhide my songs that currenlty "lurk" on iCloud under my account and b) once I reveal them, to permanently remove them from my iCloud accound space, so I can re-insert my songs and get I nice complete (with artwork) library.
Please help!

Hi,
It think that that change from delete to hide is purely a change in phraseology. I don't believe that tracks were ever deleted and remained on the apple server. When you readd a previously uploaded track that you have deleted, match does not go through usual upload process - it immediately recognises that track as previously uploaded.
I have 38k tracks, around 23,500 matched /uploaded and 7.5k purchased. I also have around 8k with removed status. The removed tracks have previously been uploaded and deleted by creating a second blank library on which match has been activated to show only music in the cloud.
The fact that I have over 8k hidden track does not affect match - I am told that I have around 31k in the cloud including purchased songs.
I thing that your problem results from match thinking that you have more music than you really have. I had to sign out of match to clear a 4002 error. When I signed back in my library was scanned and I ended up with "exceeded limit" error. Previously I was able correct by restoring my library from a time machine back. Did not work this time as the 4002 error returned.
I noticed that the cloud status for "hidden" track were still shown as removed - none changed their status.
So I opened my second library that showed me that I still had less than 25k non purchased tracks.
My initial thought was that match was counting purchased tracks in limit. So I decided to delete around 7k tracks from second library to preserve play counts etc.
I went back into my main library and signed back into match. I now had 15k tracks with remove status leaving around 23k to be matched.
The match process to around three hours to complete. However, match told me that I had around 24.5k tracks in the cloud, not the 23k expected.
I found out that around 1500 tracks had been duplicated - the second track was only in the cloud I.e it showed download arrow. After deleting duplicates I gradually readded the "removed" tracks, small number at a time. Whilst this was time consuming the actual match process was quick because match remembered previous cloud status.
My library is now back to where I want it but I have deliberately kept non- purchased content to around 23k
Normally I keep signed into match but had another error forcing me to signout and sign back in. This time I was surprised how quick my library was restored.
During this process I found that a small number of track that were previously match were now uploaded even though files were match AAC. Some purchase may become matched or uploaded.
Trust this helps.

Accidentally deleted song from icloud

I just started using iMatch. Alas I deleted a favourite song from iCloud. It does not show up in hidden purchases (because I had the CD and didn't buy if from iTunes?)
The song doesn't appear on my computer iTunes, but it has been downloaded to my iPad. I still have the CD, but how do I get the song back into the cloud? I want to be able to sync it to all my devices( (even if it's there now, it may someday get unsynced, right?).
(I have been dealing with a duplicates issue and am using iMatch to sort it out. Not without issues...)
PM

Copy the song from the CD back into your iTunes Library, then update iTunes Match.

Why can I delete songs from iPhone if they return when synced??

Why is there an option to delete songs from iPhone if it dosn't really delete them?? When you delete songs from the iPhone it will put them right back in as soon as you press sync. The only way around it is to manage you music manually witch is allot harder and now when you delete from iPhone it won't sync them back in but you now don't know what you removed. So you won't be able to put them back in unless you put back to auto and put all songs back in. What should happen is when you sync with pc the songs you removed from iPhone should automatically be unmarked so they are not synced back in and you know what you have deleted. Why is this so hard for apple to do!!!!!?????

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

HT6378 Can I delete photos from Iphone 6 and still have the photos remain in Icloud?

I deleted photos from my iphone and photos are also deleted from Icloud. Can I just delete from phone and not icloud?

With iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled the full sized photos will be stored in iCloud, and on your iPhone you will have smaller sized photos, so you can browse and share them. This save space on your device, and you can access your photos also from the the iCloud web page. https://www.icloud.com/
But be aware, that turning on iCloud Photo Library Beta will essentially stop all easy ways to upload photos from a Mac to your iPhone. iTunes Photo sync will no longer work, and you will not be able to stream photos from a Mac to your iPhone with "My Photo Stream". Only "My Photo Stream" from the iPhone to a Mac or other devices will still work.
