How do I synch / download my music in the cloud to my ipad?

I have a music library currently backed up in icloud. I am wanting to download the music to my ipad (synch it) so that I do not need to be connected to wifi or cell service to listen to the music. I have adequate storage space however I cannot figure out how to synch the music. Itunes on my pc doesn't seem to allow this? Seems to always just allow me to download each song from the cloud as I want to listen to it vs. allowing a mass download. Also most of the music is content that I uploaded vs. purchased from itunes. All is in the cloud however cannot synch any of it to ipad.
Help please. Thank You!

The right way to consolidate your music is to copy it from one computer to another. You can copy music from an iPod classic though:

When the music is all in the same library, sync the Touch.
You will still need to authorize your computer to play purchased music. For that, use the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

Error 3131: Will not download my music from the cloud

Just got a new mac and it partially downloaded my music from the cloud but when I try to finish downloading it gives me Error 3131. I have tried logging out and back in, as well as quitting iTunes and restarting.

Make sure you have the latest software updates for OS X and iTunes, if you aren't sure how to do that take a look at this Apple doc -> OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
If that doesn't take care of it, try following along with this Apple doc -> iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads

Hi Dwight,
You cannot selectively download photos from iCloud. Your iCloud account houses backups of your device, which includes backups of not only photos, but also messages, mail, notes, data, etc.
What is it that you are needing to do exactly?

Hi willardfromlos angeles,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are talking about restoring or setting up your new iPhone from an existing iCloud backup (say, of a previous device), you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
If, on the other hand, you are talking about simply setting up iCloud on your new device for the first time, then these articles may be of more use:

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 to download my music from the cloud

I changed my computer and the good news is that my library is on icloud, how can I download all. I can see that I can do it one by one, but will take days
anybody?

Connect your ipod to itunes and have the music from itunes you want and sync the music onto your ipod

How do I backup my music in the cloud to my mac

How do I back up my music from the cloud to my mac?

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

I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

Hi all,
I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
Cheers, Alex

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.
