How do I batch download all my songs from iCloud to my iMac?

The hard drive I was using to keep all my songs is fried, but everything is backed up via iTunes Match.
I want to be download all my songs (30,000+) to a new hard drive so I can play them on my SONOS.
How can I do this without having to click every individual song?
Using iTunes 11.3 (54) 64 Bit
OSX Mavericks 10.9.4

Hi,
Each track should have a download icon. If no icon is shown, this suggest that your library is still pointing to the original track. If you try to play a track do you see " ! " against the track. If so, you have two options:
1. Select track and right click then delete - do not tick delete from cloud. Download icon now shown.
2. Create new library, point to location you wish to download then turn on match. You will see all music you have in match.
By the way, it would be easier and quicker to restore your music from your back up.

  • HT4913 How do you then download all the songs from icloud to itunes? I have over 2000 songs and don't fancy clicking one at a time..

    as above.
    Thanks for all the help in advance!

    On your PC, create a playlist called something like "Touch"
    Add everything you want to download to your touch to the playlist.
    Wait a minute or two and then open the music App on your touch.
    Find the playlist and scroll to the bottom.
    Click "Download All"

    I have two computers and I would like to have my iTunes library on both. How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

    Create a smart playlist with the criteria being location - not on this computer. Then select all, right click and download.

    iCloud does not have your music, don't waste time looking there. In iTunes you can download all the music originally purchased using iTunes, additionally,  and only if you have iTunes Match you can download all of the music in your library regardless of where you got it.
    iCloud is not a backup system, relying on it instead of a real backup will eventually cost you your stuff.

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

  • How to download photo and songs from iCloud to laptop (windows 7)

    Hi,
    how do I download photos and songs from icloud to Windows 7.I opend control panel and checked box regards photos then I gave apply but I didn't see any photos in my icloud photos location which is present in my  laptop.

    There's a long discussion on photo stream issues with PCs here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5356710?start=180&tstart=0 you can look through.  Various solutions are offered that work for some people.  Perhaps you'll find one that works for you.
    Also, photo stream photos do not use your iCloud storage at all, so deleting them will not reduce you storage.  If you need to reduce your iCloud storage, there are some suggestion for how to do this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

  • HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc.  there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

    I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes).  Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

    I just found the answer by myself.  Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download.  Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine.  I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH.  To me, it was a disaster.  Worse than their map app.

    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.

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.

  • I recently lost all my files on my computer. is there any way I can download all my songs from my ipod to my computer.

    can someone tell me if i can download all my music from my ipod through my itunes into my computer. I recently lost all my files on my computer along with my music folder

    Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and is not trivial. To extract music from your iPod requires the assistance of third party utilities.
    If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
    For other music, the following might be helpful:

  • 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.

  • Can't download all the songs from an album

    Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?
    I downloaded an album on my iPhone one morning (Brits 2014 - 62 tracks), I have managed to get it into itunes on my laptop and also transferred the songs onto my iPad and iPod - for some reason (unbeknown to be) I am unable to get the complete album onto my PC at work. Only about half of the 62 tracks have come across...
    I have checked for available downloads, but it says everything is up to date
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to sort this please?

    Depending on what country that you are in you might be able to re-download them (what you can re-download where is shown on this page). If you are in one of those countries then try deleting the entries for the songs from your computer's iTunes library (you don't have to delete the actual songs, just the iTunes entries) and then see if you can re-download them - I think that if iTunes sees an entry for something in your library then it assumes that you already have it and that there is therefore no need to re-download it.
    If you are in a country where music can't be re-downloaded then you could try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933
