Downloading my entire library from the cloud without clicking every song

If the items are not purchases you have to get them from a backup or original source.

Why do I have to redownload my whole library from the cloud?

I just logged into itunes for the first time in a little while, and I couldn't see my library because it was no longer downloaded to my computer. I understand that the cloud is omnipresent, even if you decide you don't want to use it, but I'm confused.
I automatically hide cloud purchases (it never mattered because I never purposely put things on the cloud), and so I now have to manually re-download my whole library from the cloud.
Does anyone know why this happened? Was it an update? This seems really silly-- I understand automatically keeping things on the cloud, but why would anyone think I don't also want my music on my computer?
And are there any quick fixes, or am I really going to have to sit here downloading for the forseeable future?

I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Make sure you back up your computer before installing any updates.
Installing an update should not delete files but from reports here it happens occasionally. We don't know why and given that probably only a very few people lose their libraries through updating versus millions of updates it is something you simply have to prepare against. I am not even sure what happened in your case because thgis presence of some files doesn't match anything I can think would happen.

Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading.

Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading. Each download takes over a minute and I have 2000 songs! How can I just listen to my music again without downloading each and every song??? BTW, I purchased the iPhone 5S hoping that this issue would be solved with more memory - it's not. At this point I just want to remove the whole cloud-thing from my phone and go back to only having the songs on one device, no download required except the original iTunes purchase. How do I do this???

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds as though you misunderstood the purpose of iTunes Match. You still need to have the content on the device to play it.
However it's effectively no different than before in that you keep your most played content on your phone but are able to download stuff you rarely play should you ever wish to.
There's no value whatsoever in iTunes Match unless your library doesn't fit on your phone.

Can you play a movie from the cloud without downloading?

I previsouly was able to stream movies and tv shows from the cloud without downloading. Is this still possible with the new IOS?

You should be able to. I don't have any IOs devises with me at the moment, but try this.
From your IOS device go to iTunes/Purchased. Look for shows that are not downloaded and you should be able to stream them.

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?

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.

Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the post

Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the posted advice- all other programs have downloaded without a hitch.... what's the deal?

Hi Clearly Stated,
Maybe try downloading the Premiere Pro trial and then licensing it?

After you install just covert it to be licensed as part of Creative Cloud using the "License This Software" option shown here.

I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

Hello Addymay2,
I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores. After this, close all open apps and restart your device. Once your iPad is powered back up, sign back into your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

HT1420 I am trying to authorize my new computer so I can download my previous purchases from the cloud. It says to open iTunes and select Authorize My Computer, but when I open iTunes there is no STORE menu. Can anyone help?

I am trying to "authorize" my new computer so that I can download my previous purchases from the cloud. It says to open iTunes and go to the STORE menu and select AUTHORIZE MY COMPUTER, but when I open iTunes there is no STORE menu. Can anyone help?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Can I load songs onto my ipod nano (7G) from the cloud without downloading it to my PC?

I just bought a 7G nano. All of my songs are in the cloud. My computer has little space for my large collection of music, podcasts, and videos. I just bought a couple of albums and they went directly to my ipod when I synced. The rest of my library, however, was left in the cloud and didn't make it to my ipod. The only way I can tell to transfer my music from the cloud to my ipod is to download it from the cloud to my PC. Is there a way to bypass my PC and go directly to my ipod?

You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

How to redownload music from the cloud without waiting 90 days?

So i accidentally downloaded music from MY APPLE ID onto my brother's itunes library. I went back to my own library, was still signed in, and when i tried to download them from the cloud it said I have to wait 90 days because my computer is already associated with an apple id. The only apple id is my apple id, which is what I used to download the music. I shouldn't have to wait 90 days because it's the same exact apple id.
this is so incredibly frustrating, because my brother does not want my music, obviously. Help?

You can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How do I download previous music purchases from the Cloud to my Macbook Pro?

I recently purchased my first Apple computer, but have been a longtime iPod user, and as of this past February an iPhone user. So upon getting my new Macbook Pro, I of course began to sync what songs I had purchased from iTunes on my old Windows computers, and iPod and iPhone, that were supposed to be stored in the Cloud. Well, as I've been importing all the physical CD's i own, I began to notice that some of my iTunes purchases hadnt downloaded from the Cloud. So now I've gone through my iPod to see what songs are missing and which aren't. I know now that I am missing two full albums, as well as what I think is another 25+ single songs I've downloaded, and unfortuantely I cannot figure out how to retrieve them for the life of me. I'm very frustrated that all my purchases didnt show up from the Cloud in the first place! Any help?
