How do i manage my music in the cloud that goes to my phone

????

One of the key steps that you'll need to take is (after signing into the iTunes Store) open the Preferences & choose the "Store tab".
You'll then be able to make sure that the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is selected.
After that, you go to your Library - where you need to select "Music" - be it your songs or your albums. At this point you may see an iCloud icon right next to the selector - or not; if you don't see it, then you'll need to select "View" from the iTunes menu bar. You will then see on the drop down menu list either "Show Music in the Cloud" or "Hide Music in the Cloud"; that's your toggle which you use to unveil your Music in the Cloud icon.
Now there is just one more preference that you may need to use to see all of your iCloud icons and that is also found right under "View"; it's "Show View Options" where you may need to check the box labeled "iCloud Download" from among the various "View Options".
So now that all of your preferences are set, you can plainly see which songs that are in the Cloud (the ones with the Cloud icon right next to the song or right on the album).....or if there is no Cloud icon then it's already in your library or has been downloaded into your Library. To download a song or album just click on the Cloud icon & it begins to download into your library.
So now you can choose which songs &/or albums you wish to download or re-download - depending how you wish to manage your iTunes library - which I won't go into here as there are so many options in addition to what we've gone over.
I hope that I've been able to help as there are so many preferences & options, indeed.
Enjoy

  • How do I access my music in the cloud on my Iphone?

    I turned on Itunes Match and should be able to access my Itunes music from the cloud.  However, nothing is there... no playlist, not even 1/10 of my music.  How do I access my music from the cloud?

    Hi there Ginger,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that should help you resolve the iTunes Match issue that you're running into, where most of your music isn’t appearing in iCloud.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • How do I put my music in the cloud from iphone

    how do I put my music in the cloud from iphone

    You can't upload your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) to the cloud on your phone, you can only do that via your computer's iTunes (and if you've subscribed to iTunes Match).
    For iTunes store purchases you can delete it from the Music app (e.g. by swiping/dragging from right-to-left across it in the app), but whether it will then show in the cloud for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in, if it's still in the store, and if you've moved countries since buying it. If you've subscribed to iTunes Match and it's been matched, it should show in the cloud.

  • HT201077 How do I view photos saved to "the cloud" that are not in my latest thousand??

    How do I view photos held "on the cloud" that have dropped off the phone, ie, are not in the latest 1000 stored.
    I cannot seem to find this "cloud"!

    hi guys thank you for the replies, sorry I have been away.
    I am confused then - I have had to buy more icloud memory recently (2 of us use it with phones etc and so share pics, music) but I thought this was because its saving more photos?
    So no idea why I have to buy storage if you now say photos arent saved?
    If gone from the last 1000 they are lost? I dont have a Mac just iphone/ipad.
    Sorry if Im getting it wrong!

  • How can i get my music from the cloud back on my computer??

    For some reason my computer keeps saying that it cant find my music!! I have changed computers and phones but thought that my music was backed up to the cloud. How do i get it back on my laptop to put it back on my phone??

    Downloading past purchases from iTunes Keep in mind that not all content is available for redownload.
    The best solution is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and other important data) from the old comptuer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.  Relying on the ability to redownload content is an extremely unintelligent way of maintaining access to purchased content.

    I have an iPhone 5 (not sure if it's an S or a C).  I have the newest IOS on it.  How can I sync it so that my music is on my phone and NOT on the cloud?  It takes way too long to get my music to play when it's stored on the cloud.  I can't find anywhere in the sync instructions to help me with this.

  • How do I download purchased music in the cloud to my ipod classic

    Since I purchased a new ipad all my music from itunes gets placed in the cloud. How do I download it to my ipod classic through my pc.  Useto be able to drag and drop purchases into ipod but new update changes all of that.

    The only way to recover your camera roll photos from an iCloud backup is to restore the backup to your phone.  What you can do is back up your phone to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and save the recovered photos, then restore the backup you made on your computer to get back to where you are now.  To do this, do the following:
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Tranfer Purchases.  When this finishes click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
    Eject your phone from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer.  Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.
    When the backup finishes, import the recovered camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes and click Restore Backup, choosing the backup you made at step 1 to restore from.  This should return your phone to it's current state.
    If you want the photos you recovered on your phone, put them in an event in iPhoto, then select the event to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.
    You can't change the scrolling behavior of your phone.  In time it will seem natural.

  • How can I delete my music from the iCloud that is now on my phone?

    After downloading the new update, ALL of my 1500 songs from the iCloud are now on my phone. I have over 300 kid songs because I am a teacher and I really don't want all of them on my personal phone. I have joined iTunes Match to try to get rid of them. Everytime I hide or delete them, they are still on my phone. When I sync again, they go back on my computer. HELP!

  • How do I delete old apps from the cloud that I have downloaded

    I have many old apps that I have deleted from my iPhone and iTunes but are still in the cloud.
    I no longer need these apps and would like to have them completely deleted.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
    many thanks.

    Hi DouglasNelson,
    I don't know with which system you're working.
    My iTunes 12.1.1.4 is working on Windows 7.
    I hover over movies and TV-shows in the purchase list, there is always a grey X in a circle on the left corner above to remove it for ever.
    I hover over the deleted apps in the "not on your iPhone" and there's no grey X in a circle in the left corner above.
    So I decide to just click there where the grey X in a circle in the left corner above should be and
    it disappeared.
    No unwanted Apps anymore. No Hiding. A w a y.
    Cheers
    Mark
