How do I permanently delete songs not on my computer but are showing with a cloud (available to download). Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.
I have songs showing with a cloud that my son at some time purchased that I want permanently deleted. They are not on any computer but can be downloaded by clicking on the cloud. I want them permanently deleted not hidden. Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.
Managing app updates with more than one Apple ID is overly complicated as you need to sign in and out of each account in turn, so you may want to avoid creating more accounts it either has been used to purchase apps. For media it isn't quite so bad, but Apple devices are limited to holding protected content from up to five Apple IDs so again I would caution against creating new accounts unless you really have to. I doubt that is the solution in this case. As given, if you hide the purchases in question, sign out, then sign in again, they should no longer appear unless already downloaded to the device, in which case delete them from it directly. In extreme cases where the device "knows" it has some piece of content on it that it won't let you access or delete the resolution is to backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore the backup you made earlier.
See also Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions and Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing. I don't use either of these features so I don't have any practical expereince over and above what is in those support documents but perhaps they will help.

On the support pages, there's only instructions to permanently remove songs from the ICloud or Itunes, and it says once you do it, they can't be recovered. I would like to so precisely that with some hideous purchases that keep showing up on my phone as downloadable from the Icloud even when I "hid" those purchases, and it annoyes me since I don't want to listen to those songs ever again in my life. Can somebody help me please? Let's remember the main issue here is that I'm not subscribed to Itunes match, and I don't want to subscribe to it. Is there any way to permanently delete those songs from my account without having to subscribe to Itunes match? Thank you.

Good ev Ning Mario49 firstly I would like to say a great thank you for your attention to trying to help me,,,,, i have looked at the links and will try everything stated first thing…
Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

IPad and iPhone Wrongly Think My Computer is Not Subscribed to iTunes Match
I paid for iTunes Match, my Mac Book Pro shows it is on, my iTunes has it on, and yet when I turn iTunes Match on in my iPad and iPhone, they ask me for my password, then both tell me:
"You are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTune on your computer so subscribe."
I restarted everything, but the phone and pad still think the computer's not subscribed?
THANKSIf you have songs from another account, sign-in with that account on your Mac Book and download them to your Mac. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Then, sign in with your original ID and use the iTunes Store menu > Update iTunes match.
Look at
iTunes Match: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
It has important tips like:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off. -
When I'm on the same WiFi network as the computer I sync my iPhone to, I can se a lot of songs in my music app marked with the little cloud icon. And when I leave the network, I can see only the songs with this icon that I have played and therefore probably cached.
Where can I read more about this function and get to know it better?
It seems to work like iTunes Match, only limited to 'local' use. I'm not an iTunes Match subscriber, but I have the 'Show all music' setting enabled.
It's a cool function, both it's a bit annoying that i uses up my available storagecapacity. I keep getting warnings that my storage is almost full.
Does the cached music automatically dissapear since i haven't added it while syncing?This feature is called...
iTunes in the Cloud
It uses no storage on your phone or any in your iCloud storage allocation. -
Songs Not Playing In iTunes Match
I have a large amount of songs that are showing up greyed out when I have iTunes Match turned. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks
You're not alone. I'm having the same problem ever since I updated to iOS 6.1. You might try what was suggested in my thread. It didn't work for me unfortunately.

HT1386 how can i sync only my contacts thru my computer but everything else with icloud
I have XP, how can I sync only my contacts thru my computer (with Itunes) but keep everything on Icloud backup?
1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"
>connect iPhone to PC
> on iTunes click your iPhone's name
> then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails
leave 'sync contacts' ticked
then you should be fine -
I have tried everything I can think of, but to no avail, all my devices are set to the same apple ID, but the ipad will not let me use itunes match.
I have it working fine on all my other devices, any suggestions?Hi,
You cannot subscribe to match on your ipad!! You can only subscribe to match from the itunes library on your computer.
When you subscribe, itunes match scans your computer to determine what can be Matched, Uploaded and Inelligible. It will also identify your itunes Purchases which don't count towards the 25K limit.
Once itunes completes its scan, you will be told how many tracks are in the cloud. Once this is done you can turn on Match on your Ipad and you will have access to all music that is matched, uploaded or purchased.

I guess my title is too long, sorry. Old computer crashed, have new computer, already tranfered songs to new computer, but can't get them to show up in ITunes. I have 2007 version of IPod, only a few songs on, and won't even transfer those.
Finally figured it out. Just had to store all my songs/ folders in the iTunes folder. My old computer folder set up threw me off, had duplicate folders of songs that messed everything up when copied over.
Thanks for your help though, appreciate it. -
How do I permanently delete songs off my iPod?
the little iCloud symbol shows up, the slide to the left does not work. Neither does turning off show all in the settings or resetting my iPod. I really just want all my music gone and i'll start over. I have been at this for weeks. This music is suddenly showing up from my first iPod i purchased, and I no longer like this kind of music. I just want them to be gone. Going into iTunes does not work, the songs don't even show up there. I'm ready to cry, I just want help.
Verify the Show all is turned off in Settings>iTunes and App Store and and the Automatic Downloads are also off and then:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
