How do I get my iPhone to stop putting things in the cloud?

I put songs on my phone, through iTunes purchases I think, and then they go into the cloud so I have to re-download them, using my data, every time I want to hear them. I have no idea why they go away sometimes and not others either.
I hate the delay- I want my music to be there when I want it- and I don't want to use my data over and over for the same song.
I like the other iPhone+Cloud features, but I want to turn this one off and just have my music stay on my phone- that's why I bought one with a lot of memory\

Hey jel177!
It seems like you may need to turn off your iTunes in the Cloud features and download or sync the songs manually to your phone. Here is a link that can help you adjust those settings:

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I get my iPhone to stop messing around

    OOkay people how do I get my iPhone to stop auto correcting to "ducking" ... You know what I'm trying to type there? Turning off auto correct doesn't work... It still auto corrects just that one word even though auto correct is disabeled.  Apple seems determined to censor my freedom of speech but it's not right or funny. How can I make it stop?

    No one is trying to censor you. Apple has no interest in what Anglo-Saxon words you chose to use. I can tell you, from personal experience, it does learn. I can tell you, it's a good thing I don't have reason to type the word "ducking" very much as it would be annoying to have to correct it every time.

  • How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

    Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City.  I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode.  Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud!  "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again."  It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again.  How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

    How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?
    You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
    Did you delete it after you watched it?

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

    My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • How do I prevent my iPhone from moving my music to the cloud?

    This is so frustrating! Every time I try to listen to my music on my iPhone it's all greed out with the cloud icon next to it. This is absolutely the worst music software I've ever used. The interface immediately vanishes replaced by a screen full of tiny 1/10th of a postage stamp sized pictures of my albums, thereby losing the album I was trying to download from a place I never told the software to put my music in the first place. At first I tried emailing support. Got no help at all. Then I tried canceling my subscription to the cloud thinking "ha! Try to steal my music now! Stupid cloud!" then of course I had no access to my music from my phone what so ever. Touché cloud! You win this round! So I BEGRUDGINGLY renew my subscription to this awful service that is holding my
    music HOSTAGE! And of course all the music gets moved off to the cloud again. I want my music to STAY on
    my phone!!! DUH!! How simple is that right?? Obviously it's too simple as when I am at work (no wi-fi) I can't listen to music on my phone. Unless, of course I want to use up all my monthy data allotment downloading music that by all logic should STILL BE ON MY PHONE. This is so ridiculous I can't believe I'm actually having to post in a discussion forum for a problem that SEEMS INTENTIONAL on apple's part. PLEASE tell me there is a simple solution or I'm done. I'll go get a galaxy or android as I have been fighting this problem for over a ******* year now.

    This is what page 23 of the manula says:
    Accept the suggestion: Type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
    Reject a suggestion: Tap the “x” next to the suggestion.
    Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPhone becomes more likely to accept
    the word.

  • How do I get my iPhone to stop turning on cellular data for apps on its own?

    I have tried resetting on the iphone and resetting all settings. Nothing seems to be working. So far the only improvement is that my iphone stopped turning on cellular data for other apps but now, interestingly, it's turning on cellular data for all apple designed apps,e.g. Pages, App Store, Itunes Store, Facetime, Contacts, Calendar, Mail etc. Everytime I try to turn them off, it doesn't work. Please Help!!
    P.S. My phone is running ios7.

    Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.
