Do not want my music on icloud

Music previously purchased and played on iPhone suddenly is on the iCloud. Since I'm rarely in wifi zone, I want it back on my phone. I didn't request this. How do I stop this from happening with future purchases?

I think you may not understand what's going on here. When you purchase music from the iTune store, Apple keeps a permanent record of your purchases. Further, they make it possible to download these previously purchases songs again in the future from the iTune store for free. This service is called "iTunes in the Cloud". It doesn't have anything to do with your personal iCoud account; in fact, you don't need an iCloud account at all to use it.
The current version of iOS will automatically look at your list of purchases and compare them to the the music currently on your device. If a song is missing, it will list show the missing song in your song list with an iCloud download symbol next to it. This is only done for your convenience, so you can easily download the song for fee from the iTunes store from wherever you are rather than having to sync it to your phone from your computer using iTunes. Similarly, if you delete a purchases song from your device, the iCloud download symbol will appear next to it, indicating that it can be redownloaded from the iTune store again by just tapping it.
Some people don't like seeing these songs in the music app because they have no desire or intention to redownload them, so Apple make it possible to keep these from appearing. To prevent them from appearing in your song list you go to Settings>Music and turn off Show All Music. After doing so, the only songs that will appear in the Music app are those that you have already downloaded to your phone.
Again, this has nothing to do with having an iCloud account and it does not require having one. It's an entirely different service that everyone has whether they have an iCloud account or not. And you're in control as to whether you want to see this on your device or not. If you don't, just turn of Show All Music in settings.

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
You will not be able to Transfer anything from your Apple ID to her New Apple ID.

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

TS4118 My icloud does not want to back up from my Ipad

I have updated my Ipad to 5.0.1, registered with icloud but my documents from my Pages does not want to sync with icloud at all. Nothing is visible on my icloud account when I log in online.
Everything has been checked again and again. I have also registered icloud with my iMac. Not so sure what could be the problem.
Anyone out there, please kindly assist.

In itunes, click on the name itunes on top left, click preferences, click devices, then you will see all of your backups.

I gave my old MacBook Pro away and no longer have access to it. I didn't think to deauthorize it first. I DO NOT want it to have access to all music in my iCloud or any music that may have been downloaded sinceI gave away the computer. It now belongs to my teenage daughter,who has since been in my WI-FI area and knows that code. I had EVERYTHING removed from the computer before I gave it to her (long story), but since I hadn't deauthorized the Mac,I'm assuming even without the itunes password the iCloud material would had loaded onto her computer.My iCloud had somehow included personal voice mails under Unknown Artist that I did not want on there or shared. How can I deauthorize the Mac Laptop without having the machine available to do it on? Change the iTunes/iCloud password? I should now have my desktop computer, new PC (Aspire) laptop,Ipod Touch, and if possible my Evo 3D as well as my boyfriend's Samsung smartphone being able to access the iCloud account/library--whatever it is called. HELP

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

HT4436 Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place.

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

I do not want all of the playlists in iTunes to be synced to my iPhone. With iCloud I do not seem to have a choice. How do I select only certain playlists for my iPone?

I have many songs and playlists in my iTunes account. I do not want all of them synced to my iPhone 5S, but that has happened via iCloud, and it has caused a storage problem on my phone. How do I select only certain playlists to be synced to my iPhone?

You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

I have 2 Apple IDs. I also have a new laptop. I have tons of music on my old laptop. I want to transfer the music from my old laptop to my new laptop, but I don't want the music actually on my new computer. Is there a way to have the music in iCloud?

I am wanting to have my music available to me, but not actually on the new laptop (like my iPhone is set up to do). I suppose I am wanting to know if I can transfer, or authorize my new laptop to have all of my music in iCloud, but not actually in iTunes on the laptop? I want it available to me, but I have over 7000 songs and I don't want to use all the room on my new laptop. Can someone please help?

How do I get non-iTunes music onto iCloud (*not* iTunes match)?

I recently won a new iPad in a drawing, and am now trying to figure out how to sync some of my music on it through iCloud. The issues here are 1) I don't own any music from the iTunes store (all my music was ripped from my own CD collection), and 2) I'm not interested in shelling out $25/year for iTunes match until I see how the iCloud experience works. Thus, what I'd like to do is use my free 5 GB iCloud allotment to store some of my music in the cloud so that I can access it on my iPad without having to use up my iPad's limited storage (I only won the 16 GB model, most of which is tied up with movies for my kids). The trouble I'm having is that I can find no way to move any of my music files up to iCloud. How does one do this? I've tried creating a new iTunes library containing just the songs I want to put on iCloud, but I can't find any way to move these files. Help would be greatly appreciated!

The iCloud service is not meant for this. That's what iTunes Match is for, and there's a reason it costs extra. If anything, there may be a third-party app that offers the possibility.
Alternatively, you can use Google Music to store up to 20,000 songs online free of charge: https://play.google.com/music/
...but this doesn't offer the close integration with various iThings and software that iTunes Match offers, nor does it upgrade your existing collection where possible, nor does it clean up your library or song information like iTunes Match can. You can get some competant, if slow, apps to use Google Music on your iThings.

Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later". The other song is nowhere to be seen. The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

ICloud on my phone, and I want to delete his iCloud account, without losing all my data, including, my apps, contacts, calendar events, music. If I delete his account, will I still have everything saved from before?

My nephew set up his own iCloud account on my phone, and I want to delete his iCloud account, without losing all my data, including, my apps, contacts, calendar events, music. If I delete his account, will I still have everything saved from before deleting his account?? I don't want to lose a single thing...I'm afraid to delete his iCloud account, and risk losing EVERYTHING I have on my phone. Is there another way to save everything without the risk of losing everything from deleting his iCloud account?

Deleting the iCloud account from your phone only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with the account (that is, any data that is set to On in Settings>iCloud). However, when you delete the account you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data. If you want to keep it on your phone, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Also, be sure to save any photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else before deleting the account. To do this, open the photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Deleting the account will not touch any other data on your phone (music, apps, etc.).

How do you get music off of your Ipod that is not wanted?

My ipod has automatically taken all of my music from my itunes library. However there is some music that I do not want to have on it. How do I take selected songs off the ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Use your iTunes preferences (on the top menu bar: iTunes->preferences->ipod
(with your iPod connected to the computer) and change the transfer preferences to specific play lists or set it to manual update (see below for deleting individual songs). I have several play lists on iTunes which I automatically update to the iPod.
(from the iTunes HELP file under "ipod preference, deleting songs..."
Deleting songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle
You can remove individual songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle. (Deleting a song from your iPod does not delete it from your iTunes music library.)
¥
To delete a song from your iPod or iPod mini, first make sure the player is set up to transfer songs manually (in the iPod pane of iTunes Preferences). Then select the player in the Source list, select the song you want to delete, and press the Delete key.

To delete a song from your iPod shuffle, make sure your iPod shuffle is attached to your computer, then select the song you want to delete in the iPod shuffle playlist, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
