Download by clicking the iCloud download button
The Apple publicity says ...
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
I have loaded my entire iTunes library on my IMac to iCloud with iTunes Match. (successfully completed)
Now I want to download (not stream) the entire iTunes Match library (including iTunes non-purchased music) in the iCloud back to my IMac iTunes library (to benefit amongst other things to better bit rate recordings) but cannot find the "the iCloud download button" on iTunes on the iMac.
What have I not understood in this process ?
Can somebody tell me how to download the iCloud music to iTunes on an iMac ?
many thanks
Stuart
Winston the status shown in the URL you gave http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4124 show just anomalies. There are two other status: Matched and Uploaded shown.
So take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
This solves my problem:
1 First I needed to delete all Matched in my iTunes (select all, then Delete, BUT do not click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.)
2 The Matched ones remain in the iTunes list, with an iCloud icon with a "down arrow" inside the iCloud icon, signifying "can be downloaded".
3 Then select "all" those Matched ones again and with cntrl click and chose Download from the drop down menu, and hey presto, iTunes starts to download and replace all the previously deleted Matched songs in your iTunes library with their clean 256kb version. The Matched status stays in place and the iCloud icon with the downarrow disappears one by one as each song is downloaded.
4. Itunes seems to be downloading 3 songs simultaneously and takes on average about 3-4 seconds a song on my iMAC
I hope this helps you too.
Thanks for your help and ideas, but this definately seems to be working ...am still downloading at the moment.
I'll let u know if there were any hiccups during the download process.

I downloaded new os for my daughter's ipod touch. I remember during setup after that I checked off my husband's email account and now she is receiving his texts. How do I fix this. The "icloud"/ "messages" buttons are both greyed out under settings

When I try to purchase any free app, I try to click the green install button and it toggles between the install and free icons in the app store. Tried rebooting and also syncing iphone to computer but no luck. Any suggestions?
If resetting the iPad doesn't help, try these things.
Quit the App Store app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download an app again.
If that fails, try downloading something in iTunes. There is free content in there so find something that you don't have to pay for and download it. If that works, try the App store again. -
I clicked the iCloud symbol in the top right corner of a tv show's artwork, wondering what it does, and it began to download a duplicate of that episode. I deleted the duplicated episode but everytime a open iTunes it begins to automatically download again. Help
It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries). -
I have a VAIO pc and want to put some photos up to iCloud to then go onto my iPad.
I have iCloud control panel and have followed the instructions.
Everything is on that should be on .. on the iPad and pc.
but I cannot find how to ...
Select Photo Stream under Favorites. Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select photos to import to My Photo Stream, and then click Open. ...
as advised in FAQ on iCloud.
I cannot find favourites ... sorry !!!
I use Google Chrome, could that be the problem?

Please help
CarskiIt should look like this...

I have tried loading 3 different cds that I recently purchased into Itunes. I click the import cd button and Itunes goes through the motion of copying and importing the cds, but the songs are not in my music library. I have searched everywhere to find where these cds might be, but to no avail. Could really use some help here. Never used to have this problem.
Are they in the relevant artist & album folders when you look via Windows Explorer. If so something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

I Synced two laptops, mostly to transfer several tab groups open in one to the other. While the Sync was in progress, the Options window started to vibrate. After a while, I closed the window and then Firefox. After restarting Firefox, I found that only a few tabs and little of the history had been transferred. I clicked the Sync Now button, on both devices, but nothing further has happened so far.
iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I am trying to access an https site and am getting a "This connection is untrusted" message. I am willing to bypass, but when I click the Add Exception button and then try to click the Confirm Security Exception button, nothing happens.
unfortunately the do_not_trust certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
<br><sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Im trying to purchase an iphone 6 but when I click the check out button it says that my cart is empty basically my iPhone 6 disappears off my cart
I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -
How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.
For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud." -
When I click the new tab button it won't open a new tab.
When I either click the new tab button or right click on it and click New Tab, it won't open a new tab. It lights up as though its going to open a new one, to sign that its been clicked, but it won't open a new tab.
That can a problem with the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] -
I can open a new window,but I can't open a new tab ,no reaction by clicking the new tab button ( + )
Nooo, '''don't uninstall''', see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_disable-all-extensions Disable all extensions] and then one by one [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_test-for-faulty-extensions Test for faulty extensions]
thanks -
Even if I click the new tab button, I don't get new tabs.......Please help..
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
