Hide songs in iCloud on my phone
I recently purchase iMatch and now have lots of songs in the cloud, more songs than will fit on my phone. I want to set my phone up, so that I only see songs I have downloaded to my phone on my phone. I dont want to see everything in iCloud on my phone, only the stuff I have downloaded to my phone. Any ideas how I can set this up?
Kind Regards,
Gillian

How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!
Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

I need help deleting songs from my Itunes library. When I follow the instructions it ends up asking me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!? I don't even know what iCloud is!!!
It's the online version of the song you are deleting from your library, if you hide it you won't see it any more.

How do i delete a song from iCloud without having to subscribe to it?
How do I delete a song from icloud without having to subscribe to it? I've deleted the song from my iphone and my computer, but it is still in icloud, but I can not delete it. It keeps on wanting me to subscribe to icloud. Which it is not fair or right for me to have to pay to delete something. Would anyone please help me? I am using windows 7 home premium 64bit Operating system. The song is stil showing on my iphone, but i need to delete it from icloud for it to not show on my iphone.
Hi,
If the song has been purchased from itunes store, you cannot delete the song from the cloud but you can hide it. - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
You do not need to subscribe itunes match which is a different product from itunes in the Cloud.

How can I delete a song from iCloud instead of hiding it?
This is what i found about to delete a song from iCloud
Hower when I followed those steps in my iMac/iTunes instead of showing "also delete this song from icloud" appears "also HIDE this song in iCloud"
Any help? tks!!That changed some time ago when iTunes 11 was released. At the present time you can only hide the song from your iTunes Match library. My understanding is that "hidden" songs like this don't count against your 25,000 song limit.

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?

How do I get my music back from iCloud onto my phone?
I'm not sure what I did but I beleive that most of my music is in iCloud but when the songs show up on my phone they are all in light gray letters. They also won't play when I want to go through my playlist. Only the ones in bold black letters will play. Help!
there are a number of ways that this happens.
one way depends on how you add music to your phone.
if you restored you phone from a backup recently
what i would first try to do is connecting my phone to my computer, remove all the music, and then put it back on. depending on how much music you have that might take 20 min
let me know what questions you have and i'll help you troubleshoot. -
Please Help,how do i get my iphone 4 to play all my songs from icloud, it is currently only playing just a smal number of songs from my library which is stored in icloud.
There are a number of OS X apps, many free, that will save your messages, allowing to view and print them.
http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/How_to_transfer_SMS_from_iPhone_to_Mac,_backup_i Phone_SMS_message_on_Mac
Google, for other options
Your "other" of 6 GB may include corrupted data or file sytem errors. If after removing the messages there is still >2GB, you will need to restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup (made after deleting the messages) and if needed as a new iPhone.

So, how do I unhide and subsequently delete songs from iCloud? (help...)
I have been trying to sort my 25k+ library in the last few weeks (1243 purchaced from iTunes store and approx. 23,000 from my 20-years collection). After I managed to bring it to a healthy status it terms of artist name, song title, genre, album etc. they only thing that was annoying me was the album artwork. Before the new enhanced 'Find Artwork' feature in iTunes 11, I had used other third-party apps from the app store that they are supposed to find almum cover images...BUT the vast majority was "not good".
So, I concluded that a nice and neat solution would be to remove my entire 25k songs collection from my iTunes library (stored localy on my iMac) and from my iTunes match (store on i Cloud) and re-insert the songs, after of course I kept a backup.
My suspicions started when the message I got was "hide from iCloud" and not "delete from iCloud?" instead (iTunes 11.0.1).
I thought "they must have just rephrased the message in the new update", believing that the result would be, as anticipated, to actually remove the songs from iCloud, so I could continue with my plan... and therefore I clicked OK.
The big dissapointment was when I re-inserted my songs. None of the songs can now be detected and uploaded/matched in iTunes match, not even the the purchaced ones. All of my songs iCloud status is "Exceeded Limit".
I would like to know how I can a) unhide my songs that currenlty "lurk" on iCloud under my account and b) once I reveal them, to permanently remove them from my iCloud accound space, so I can re-insert my songs and get I nice complete (with artwork) library.
Please help!Hi,
It think that that change from delete to hide is purely a change in phraseology. I don't believe that tracks were ever deleted and remained on the apple server. When you readd a previously uploaded track that you have deleted, match does not go through usual upload process - it immediately recognises that track as previously uploaded.
I have 38k tracks, around 23,500 matched /uploaded and 7.5k purchased. I also have around 8k with removed status. The removed tracks have previously been uploaded and deleted by creating a second blank library on which match has been activated to show only music in the cloud.
The fact that I have over 8k hidden track does not affect match - I am told that I have around 31k in the cloud including purchased songs.
I thing that your problem results from match thinking that you have more music than you really have. I had to sign out of match to clear a 4002 error. When I signed back in my library was scanned and I ended up with "exceeded limit" error. Previously I was able correct by restoring my library from a time machine back. Did not work this time as the 4002 error returned.
I noticed that the cloud status for "hidden" track were still shown as removed - none changed their status.
So I opened my second library that showed me that I still had less than 25k non purchased tracks.
My initial thought was that match was counting purchased tracks in limit. So I decided to delete around 7k tracks from second library to preserve play counts etc.
I went back into my main library and signed back into match. I now had 15k tracks with remove status leaving around 23k to be matched.
The match process to around three hours to complete. However, match told me that I had around 24.5k tracks in the cloud, not the 23k expected.
I found out that around 1500 tracks had been duplicated - the second track was only in the cloud I.e it showed download arrow. After deleting duplicates I gradually readded the "removed" tracks, small number at a time. Whilst this was time consuming the actual match process was quick because match remembered previous cloud status.
My library is now back to where I want it but I have deliberately kept non- purchased content to around 23k
Normally I keep signed into match but had another error forcing me to signout and sign back in. This time I was surprised how quick my library was restored.
During this process I found that a small number of track that were previously match were now uploaded even though files were match AAC. Some purchase may become matched or uploaded.
Trust this helps. -
Why do I need to re-download my songs from iCloud if they're already in my cloud?
Why do I need to re-download my songs from iCloud if they're already in my cloud?
I have iCloud on my iPhone 4S with iOs7 and I have both added all my Music on my iTunes to my phone manually and also have them on my cloud. Under iCloud settings on my phone I have "Show All Music" toggled "On". When I'm driving and want to listen to a certain song, most of the time the song I want is grayed out, unable to be played by my phone, and the only option I have is to "Re-download" it from my iCloud--I get this little picture of a gray cloud with a red downward arrow displayed and my Music takes forever to load. I also get this annoying pop up message telling my I might be subject to additional data fees for .....re downloading music I've already downloaded. Its' annoying.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Content needs to be on your phone before it can be played, if it isn't you need to download it. If you see content with a cloud icon next to it, it's telling you it isn't on your phone. -
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:
