How do I delete music downloaded through iCloud on my iPhone?

I am over capacity on my iPhone because i thought that iCloud allowed me to stream my iTunes music...I didnt know it was being downloaded on my phone! (dumb i know). So I plug it in to sync with my mac thinking that I can just take away the songs there in iTunes. But none of the boxes are checked....songs I know are in my iPhone are unchecked in iTunes. How do I get rid of these songs on my iPhone?? Thanks

Is the only way to do this from the PC?

How do i delete music with grayed titles in my iphone and ipad. iTunes Match is on

how do i delete music with grayed titles in my iPhone and iPad. the grayed titles happened when i installed iTunes Match.

I've done the reset iTunes Match routine turning it on or off in my devices. Everytime its On, it goes thru d scan, match and upload process. When it gets to tge upload stage, it takes sooooo long for just one song to upload, as if d remaining song (2k+) will take years. Anyway, the grayed titles still don't go away. These titles are not exactly missing. I can play those titles because they also appear in my devices as regular content - meaning, the grayed titles are duplicates but don't go away.
By the way, these grayed titles are viewable only in iTunes Match not on my devices (iPhone 4 and ipad2)

How do I delete music from my iCloud account?

Since the latest system update, iCloud saw fit to download old songs that I have purchased and since deleted from my account. I just want to kill it with fire.

You cannot delete them from iCloud.
You can hide them.

HT201272 How do I cancel a download from icloud from my iphone?

I accidentally selected "download all" for my most recent purchases on iTunes in the "Not on This Phone" menu on my iPhone 4S. It's been downloading forever because there are 250 songs in the most recent purchases category. This means that any new Apps that I download straight from my phone are not usable, because they are waiting in line behind my music to install. How can I just cancel the downloading?

Were you ever able to resolve this issue...I am having the same problem but I tapped on "Download Library" to my iPhone so it's wanting to download 20,000+ items.

Via the same way the songs were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod. My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway. Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store. What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to. You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases. If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All. LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded. I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
Hope that clarifies a bit.

How do I delete music from my iPad and the cloud?

How do I delete music from my iPad without it being downloaded again from cloud? Please help.

Hi roy1939,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

Remove a song from iPad. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Cheers,

How can i delete music off of my ipad 2, how can i delete music off of my ipad 2

I have an ipad 2 it has software vision 4.3.2 how can i delete music off of it. it wont let me when i attach it to my computer and it wont delete directly from the ipad

If its to save room I wouldn't drag the files to the trash. That would get rid of them for good. I know you said you can't by computer, if your syncing with that computer, under music when it's connected, don't sync full library. Go through and select the certain songs you want. If its to delete just off your iPad because you don't have a comp read what ana posted.

How do I delete auto download of ios7

How do I delete auto download of ios7

I found a solution from a Chinese website called WeIphone (http://www.weiphone.com/)
Here is the original Chinese version if you are interested: http://bbs.weiphone.com/read-htm-tid-7022768.html
Now I will try to retell the solution for those who prefers English:
Notice: This guide is for those who still have iOS 6 running on their devices and only want to delete the update file for iOS 7 automatically downloaded. For those who have already updated their devices to iOS 7 and want to downgrade to iOS 6, this guide will probably be useless.
Part 1. How to prevent iOS 7 from being downloaded automatically:
If your device has already downloaded iOS 7 automatically, please skip this part and read part 2.
Method A: Keep free space on your iPad / iPhone below 3.1GB all the time. You can do this by installing some large games or keep some music / films.
Method B:With your device unplugged from power, connect to WIFI and open Settings->General->Software Update. Now your device will try to find whether there is new update or not. After a few minutes, there will be a notice of new update (currently is iOS 7.0.2) and a button says "Download and Install". DO NOT press it. Now you can use your device as usual. As long as you check the update manually, it won't download it automatically. It's wired, but it works.
Part 2. Delete iOS 7 firmware downloaded automatically:
Method A: If you have backup in iTunes, recover it. (I didn't test this method, so it's on your own risk.)
Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
My new iPad (the 3rd generation, 16GB WIFI version) is running iOS 6.1.3 and automatically downloaded iOS 7.0.2, I tried Method B to delete it and succeed. However this is not an official method so there is no guarantee it will work for everyone, please use it at your own risk.

On a macbook air, how do i delete a photostream in icloud?

on a macbook air, how do i delete a photostream in icloud?

A PDF is a PDF. If it is an app then it isn't a PDF unless it is an app that is supposed to install the PDF somewhere in which case I wouldn't trust it. From where did this originate? If it is some unknown web site there are plenty with fake links that say you are downloading one thing but they send you another in hope that you will blindly install some malware. Usually they target Windows users but there's getting to be some for Mac (in particular MacKeeper).

How do I delete music from my phone as well as iTunes

Hello RettMom,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Are you using a service to sync/backup your contacts? Perhaps iCloud? If so, managing your contacts via a web client might be easier for bulk jobs. For example, if you are using iCloud for contacts, you can logon to iCloud.com and easily delete contacts with the push of a button:
iCloud: Delete a contact
