How can an iTunes Match user prevent songs from being uploaded to the iCloud?

Has anyone who is currently using iTunes Match found a way to prevent selected songs in their music library from being uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of audio files that are hour long mixes, but aren't quite large enough to run afoul of the 200MB size limit. I'd like to keep using iTunes Match, but would like to prevent it from trying to upload any of these larger files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

ITunes Match only plays songs that were uploaded to the Cloud

I posted this once before back a couple of months ago and never did get it working.
I have an iPhone 4s and I purchased iTunes match about a year ago. My library was about 5,000 songs. I was able to use iTunes Match flawlessly on cellular or WiFi and play any of my music. Then I upgraded to iOS7, big mistake. Ever since that upgrade back in September, when I am on cellular I can only play music that was not matched but uploaded to the cloud. For example, when in my car I can play a live Phish show that I added to iTunes and that was uploaded to the cloud when I updated iTunes Match from my laptop, but I can't play the Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers because it was matched and not uploaded.
I have reset the phone to factory and manullay installed my apps again. I have turned off match and reset my phone, crossed my fingers, etc...
What happens when I try to play a "matched album" on cellular, it acts like it is going to play but sits at 0:00 for about 20 seconds and then skips ahead and attempts to play the next track. Everything plays fine on WiFi.
Has anyone lese had this issue and if so any suggesttions? I am so frustrated with the whole experience right now. I just went to the support page to submit a ticket to Apple and apparently I don't have support anymore because I have the phone for a year. I don't what to do.

How can you stop your ipod touch data from being restored on the computer with a program that lets you see your deleated safari history

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppp pppppppppppppp

Delete the backup from iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and highlight the backup and click on delete. You have to do that after every sync. Also, make sure that you empty the recycle bin (PC) or trash (Mac) to really delete the backup.
Also, in the future you can turn on Private browsings in Settings>Safari or go there and Clear History right before you sync.

How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

You only get one download. It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

How can I select more than one song from the search results?

I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
I hope some Windows user can help me out.

Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
From Apple
2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

How can one remove a raised texture pattern from a scan of the original photo?

How can one remove a raised texture pattern from a scan of the original photo?
Have several wedding photos scanned into PS Elements that were printed by the pro, photography studio on a raised pattern paper. Would anyone know how to remove the honey comb type pattern so that the picture canbe printed flat on glossy color photo paper?
Any help would be greatfully appriciated.
Thanks,

The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform. There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6795661/4N6site/improc/fftplugin/examples.htm
Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow. You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:

Here's a crop at 100% of the result I got:
The pattern is much reduced. With some experimenting, you can probably do a little better.

Itunes Match Makes Deleting Songs from iPhone impossible

I'm so frustrated by iTunes Match, and would love to know if anyone can tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
The issue I'm having is that I can't delete songs which have been downloaded onto my phone from my phone with my phone. Whether the itunes Match service is disabled, or enabled and the "show all music" option is disabled, the music app does not respond to swiping to delete albums, artists or songs. I've tried every configuration of settings I can think of.
Does anyone have a way to fix this? I've done many hard reboots and come up with nothing. I can of course delete by using my home computer, but I'm paying for a service that should allow me to download from the cloud and delete what I've downloaded while away from my desktop.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

How to prevent ipad apps from being stored in the iCloud and how to bring them back to the iPad

I have an iPad Mini Retina with 128GB of storage. I purchased about a dozen apps and it gets stored in the iCloud and I don't know how to access them on the cloud storage. Plus I have many apps from me itouch that I use and they are also stored on the iCloud.
How can I prevent further apps that I buy from gettting transfer to the iCloud?
How can I download my existing apps that I purchase and that are from my itouch that are stored in the iCloud into my iPad?
How do I access my iCloud storage from my iPad?
Thanks.

You make it sound like apps are disappearing from your iPad and uploading to iCloud. That's not how it works. Maybe somebody (or you) deleted the apps and you don't realize it.
You cannot prevent apps from being stored in iCloud. That is one of the reasons for using iCloud. It will store all of your purchased apps and you will be able to download them if you delete them, or if you buy another device that you want to use the apps on.
If you have apps that are in iCloud, just go to the Purchased Tab in the app store, tap on the Not on this iPad button at the top. Look for any of the apps that you want to download and then tap the cloud icon in order to download them to the iPad. You access your iCloud storage in the purchased tabs of the different stores or in the apps themselves. Any data that is being backed up in iCloud is on the device in the corresponding apps and you don't need to access that data in iCloud. It's at your fingertips already,
Purchased apps do NOT count against your iCloud storage. If you have 60GB of apps, they do not take up the alloted 5GB of free storage that you get. The app data would count against the storage but not the apps themselves.

Prevent JNLP from being cached in the Java Web Start cache

Hi,
when i launch a JNLP it's always being cached in the Java Web Start cache. Is there a way to prevent it from being cached? Some attribute/property inside it?
Thanks!

Set the http headers in the response from the server when the client downloads the jnlp file.
eg Cache-control no-cache
Expires (use same date as "date" header)
Note that over SSL on Internet Explorer 8 this will not work. All other configurations should be ok.

Can I use iTunes Match to add songs from another computer

Now that I have iTunes Match running on my home and work computers can I add songs to my library from either one. I often get (non-iTunes) music while I'm at work and want to put it on my iPhone right away, but since my phone is synced to my computer at home, The only way I've been able to do it is bring the files home, put it on that computer and then load on my iphone. Does iTunes match eleviate this? Is there another way to do it?

Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation. As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

How can I wirelessly in for a song from my iTunes library on my PC to my iPad

I would think it would be a way to import a song from my iTunes library to my iPad if I wanted to take a few songs or maybe an album with me on the iPad I don't want to use a USB cable and connected to the computer I'd like to do it wirelessly. Have Apple home sharing set up and thought I could just browse my iTunes library from the iPad and import a song that would be great if that works but I don't see a way to do it hoping that there's alternative ways to accomplish this.   Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

Do you want to stream them to you or transfer them?   And are you talking about at home on your wifi network, or anywhere?
If away from home, the only way to get the songs is to download them as you want them from I cloud. The cloud will not stream.
If you are home, you can go either way. If you want to transfer them, then pick them on the computer, and sync. You cannot pick the songs to sync from the pad or phone.      If you are home, and you want to just listen to them, you can stream to your device using AirPlay. Assuming all devices are on the same network with the same apple id, you can play song that live on your computer on your phone or pad.
In the music app, at the bottom, touch more, and your shared library will be available.
