Deleting songs off ICloud

Hi, new to the boards, if anyone can help me with this question id really appreciate it.
So....I just recently got a Macbook Pro, and I wanted to delete my music because i have all my misic via CD, so I wanted to start from scratch. I deleted everything on the Itunes Match. But when I plug in my IPhone or IPad all my music is is there (theres a little cloud symbol next to the song i.e. Gone Soveringn by Sone Sour- Cloud Icon). So heres my question? How do i delete everything off my iphone and ipad when theres no music on my mac.
thanks.

Hello CandyApple66,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
The download icon will appear to the right of any songs or albums that are in the cloud but not downloaded onto your iOS device.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
Best of luck,
Mario

    Open Settings > iCloud > Delete account. If you don't want to delete your data, turn off each service individually before deleting the iCloud account

  • 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).

    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.

  • How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

    How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

    Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

  • 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?

  • Trouble deleting songs off Music with new IOS7

    Is anybody else having trouble deleting songs off their iPhone using ios7?

    What sort of "troubles" are you having? It might be that the songs you're seeing are stored in the cloud and not on the phone
    try Settings>Music and turn show all music off and see if you can delete after that

  • 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:

  • Deleting songs off

    Is there a way to permanently delete songs off your ipod?

    There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
    If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
    Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
    You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod.
    If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
    This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
    If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.

    how do i delete photos off icloud?

    iCloud is only used to sync photos between devices. It's not a "home" for them where you can view them on the web.
