Download music from the cloud

How do I get music to my phone from the cloud?

If it was purchased from the iTunes store, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. If not, you would have to subscribe to iTunes Match in order to access it from iCloud (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).

I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

Hi all,
I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
Cheers, Alex

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

HT1386 How do you download music from the cloud to a new computer

How do you download music from iCloud to a new computer?

Hi Heatheretd,
So, you have a new computer, and you have loaded the most current version of iTunes 11 onto it, correct? What type of computer is it - that will make it easier to walk you through this....
And we are assuming your mean all your PURCHASED music from iTunes? Or are you talking about moving an entire iTunes library from an old computer to a new one.....

Is there a way to download music from the cloud at one time without selecting each one individualy

just looking to see if all your songs in the cloud can be downloaded into your device without selecting each one individually

Hi smokea,
If you go to More>Purchased>Music>Not on this Phone>All Songs, you will see a Download All button in the top right-hand side of the screen.
(sorry about the info that was here previously)....

I am trying to authorize my new computer to download music from the cloud.

I previously purchased music using another computer which is no longer in my possesion. I attempted to follow the direction given on the support page to deauthorize computers, but MY Account page does not have the option to deauthorize (no button!) It only states that "This account allows one computer to be authorized to download". Help!

Hello, johnandsteph.
You are allowed a total of 5 computers at a time to be authorized to play content. It is not necessary to deauthorize an old computer if you are attempting to add a new one unless you have reached your five total allotment. From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer and enter your Apple ID and password. At that point you should be able to access your previous purchases. I have included two links listed below. The first one goes over authorization and deauthorization. The second article covers how to download past purchases.

If you are still unable to successfully authorize a computer, you may need to reach out to us via Contact Apple Support.

HT1660 How do i download music from the cloud

I have music in my phone that is located on the cloud. I want to download it to my phone but I continually get the error "please try again later"

Download the Amazon Cloud Player app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id510855668?mt=8

Can't download music from the cloud. Cloud/down arrow will not go away, Any suggestions?

iPod works fine. iPhone songs have cloud/down arrow and will not go away.

I, too, am having this same issue with my purchased music. I have had every issue with iOS 7 and I'm at my wits end. I thought all had been corrected, and then last night I purchased an album, the first time since the update, and it absolutely will NOT download to my phone. I have had it with this iOS7 and one of the phones on my plan is due for upgrade, and I'm THIS close.... Please let me know if you find a solution or if yours is corrected.

Can not download music from the cloud.

It worked the first time immediately after install but never again. I have enabled automatic downloads of music. I see the iCloud icon on the select bar immediately below the search bar with moving diagonal lines, but nothing seems to download. When it worked, the Apple icon in the center box was replaced by a progress bar for each song that was being downloaded. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you already checked your settings for the iTunes & App Store? Are you using the same account on both devices "Settings > iTunes & App Stores"?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded?

I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane.

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

Error 3131: Will not download my music from the cloud

Just got a new mac and it partially downloaded my music from the cloud but when I try to finish downloading it gives me Error 3131. I have tried logging out and back in, as well as quitting iTunes and restarting.

Make sure you have the latest software updates for OS X and iTunes, if you aren't sure how to do that take a look at this Apple doc -> OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
If that doesn't take care of it, try following along with this Apple doc -> iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
