How do I remove songs that are only in iCloud?

Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong category.
I realize there are going to be tons of questions since iOS 7 just came out, but I have a question about iCloud.
So now that I have the new iOS, the music library on my iPhone displays my iCloud music as well as what I had synched to the phone. However, there are some songs showing up that I deleted from my iTunes library on my computer months ago. They are not on my computer, so I cannot delete them from iCloud as I delete them from my computer. There are a few songs that I will keep on the Cloud, but I don't want them all.
How would I remove these songs that can only be found in my Cloud? I don't some of them anywhere, at all. I'm not paying for iTunes match.
Thanks in advance!

Hey, Gail,
Sync didn't work last night even with the new version of iTunes. I think I solved it though.
Went to Settings > General > Usage > Music: Deleted all data that way
Then turned on the "Show all music" option in the Music settings. Went to music and downloaded from the iTunes cloud the music I wanted on my phone. With that done, I shut off the "Show all music" option again. This left just the songs that I had downloaded.
I'm sure I could probably accomplish this similarly by dragging and dropping to my phone from iTunes. I'll have to give this a shot. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work. But I've found a way that does.
So far, those songs I didn't want haven't shown back up. Whether this is a permanent fix, I haven't had time to see yet. But it's worked at this juncture.
Thanks for checking in,
Ryan

How do i get back my garageband songs that are only on icloud?

Yesterday i enabled icloud in garageband and upliaded a couple of songs. It worked as it should until i opened it today and found that a song has a green arrow pointing down in its top right corner. I tapped on it, but after getting a grey overlay nothing happened. I checked and the is on icloud, but icant get it back. I alo dont have just 2g ipod and a windows 7 pc, so o other apple products.
If anyone has the same problem and found a solution i'd appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have the same problem too with two songs which are in the same state. Mine also happened when I was uploading to iCloud and GarageBand crashed during the upload.
It's really annoying as these songs were from live instruments plugged into my iPad and I was using iCloud as a backup but now it's lost the entire song.
I've tried turning off iCloud and getting duplicates of iCloud songs copied to my iPad and then enabling iCloud again and that didn't fix it.
I'm currently downloading the latest patch release of GarageBand to see whether installing that version (which apparently fixes the problem in the first place) will help my songs magically reappear.
Feel I have nothing to lose as I can't get to the songs ........
There's two other threads on this issue as well:

So suggest we bring these together in this thread.

HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

You'll need to copy the content on your iPod back to your iTunes library first. Once you have successfully done that you can safely erase and sync your iPod.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How do you remove photo that are synced to your phone

How do you remove photos that are synced to your phone

Hi amandafromcroydon,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To remove synced photos, you sync again without those photos selected for sync.
iTunes: Syncing photos
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.
Take care,
Nubz

How can I import songs that are protected wma

how can I import songs that are protected wma?

Sorry, but you can't. iTunes can neither import nor play any protected Windows Media content. You'll have to ask the source of your tracks how to get them unprotected, if such a service is offered.

For example, if I delete a photo from my iPad, doesn't it stay in the cloud?
If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll. If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

I am looking for the place where I can go and see everything that I have backed up in the past that remains in the cloud, so I can go in and edit that. Does anyone know how to get rid of what has been backed up before?
You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup. If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them. Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

I don't want to have songs that are in my icloud show up on my phone but i still want them on my icloud is there anyway to do this?

I don't like having songs that are just in my icloud on my iphone, I don't want to delete them from my icloud completely though in case I want to later add them to my computer on another device. Is there anyway to just prevent them from showing up on my iphone?

How can I remove and delete songs that are stored in iCloud? I really dislike this feature.

I really hate this idea of having all of the songs that aren't on your iPhone being out back in there through I cloud. They aren't on my device for a reason. Thanks a lot iTunes.

Music downloads to iPod Nano from songs that are only available in iCloud.

I'm trying to add music to my sons iPod Nano that myself and my older son have on our iPhone and iPod touch. When I try to copy these songs over to the Nano it tells me it cannot be copied because it is only available in iCloud. It then states I need to download the items from iCloud before they can be copied to the iPod. How to I download songs from iCloud that are currently showing in my music library?

How do you delete songs that are in your iTunes?

I have imported many song into my iTunes but i would like to get rid of some of them and i dotn listen to them.
Is there any way of removing them altogether from iTunes or am i stuck with them????

If I'm understanding your question correctly you just want to delete songs from your itunes account. Go into your main music library, hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard, and while doing that, click on any songs that wish to permanently delete. When you've got those highlighted, let go of the CTRL button, right click on any of the highlighted songs, choose delete, and then confirm what you want to do. You can't do this from a playlist. It has to be from the main music library. Hope that's what you're looking for.

Does anyone know how i can get the songs to download as currently it wont let me!!
I have put a screen shot, if this helps?
If anyone has had this problem and can help, thank you!

Hi, edcf.
I have experienced the exact same issue this week for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders

Check your purchase history and you method of payment to make sure that the item has not been deducted prior to processing these steps.

If the album has been charged, follow the steps in this article to report a problem with this purchase.

How do I download songs that are on itunes on my computer but not on my ipod?

My computer has all of the songs I purchased on iTunes, but my ipod only has a few? How do I get the songs onto my ipod? When I start iTunes on my computer and connect the ipod using the USB, I look at the left hand column but there is no devices there

Read the User's Guide, it covers basic functionality such as this.
