How to delete EVERYTHING in iTunes Match? (Playlists & music)

I've downloaded a cd last night and when I drag and dropped it in my iTunes it went mad.
I have now hundreds and hundreds of playlists without anything in it, I've tried deleting it one by one but it is a mad job, I don't even know if they acutally delete...
So I thought maybe I just delete everything in my iTunes Match because obviously these playlist have been uploaded to the cloud since they have nothing in it it went very quickly...
I've read how to delete all my albums from iTunes Match, but nowhere how to delete acutally EVERYTHING that is in it, including playlists.
So I hope someone out there can help me out with this because I want this sorted out...

I did create a new playlist saturday on my iPhone, I went on holiday so it didn't had a chance to sync with my Mac.
Yesterday I came back from holiday and I have worked on it for a whole day, so shouldn't the playlist have come the minute my iTunes had a chance to sync with my iPhone? But they didn't...
They came when I added the album, so that's why I think it's connected with that album.
But if it is actually from the playlist I created on my iPhone, how do I solve this?

How i delete song on itune match when i delete it just on itune ??

I delete song i wan to delete on icloud but by mistake i dont delete on itune match how now i delete it

To delete a song from both iTunes and the cloud, first delete the track from the iTunes library. When the dialog pops up ask if you want to delete it from the cloud also, select the checkbox and click OK.

I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).

How can I delete albums from itunes match

Can you tell me or do you know how I can delete albums from iTunes match please

I've got a similar problem.
I know the way how to delete but it didn't work.
When I delete a song with setting the "delete this song from iCloud" option, it seems to be deleted but after syncing it still exist!
For example:
Before deleting I've got 761 songs in Match
I delete 10 songs with "Also delete this song from iCloud", empty the trash can and start match sync
After 2 Minutes iTunes Match told me, there are 761 songs available - nothing will be deleted at iTunes Match

HT204406 How to restore deleted songs from iTunes Match?

I thought I was deleting a couple of things from iTunes Match, but somehow deleted a bunch of others. I know, I know, silly me. Anyway, I still have most of the items I deleted on another Mac, but they're shown with a cloud symbol with an X in it. I'd like to get those things stupidly deleted back on iTunes Match, instead of only on one Mac...that is, also on my iPhone and iPad. I appreciate any advice.

Up till your message, I was under impression that once you uploaded music to itunes match, the only way to reset it, is to contact apple to cancel service. You can probably download those back if they disappeared from one device, or even all of them.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

How do I turn off Itunes match without lossing all my music

Hi,
I had all my music on my hard drive. Then I turned om Itunes match. All the music was accesible with all the IOS devices.
1. But playing on IOS devices during travel took almost all my download availbility amount of GB of my provider.
2. Itunes match does not work with Sonos, so my smart playlists in itunes are not accesible by sonos
I just want took go back to the previous situation.
a. hard downloads of music to my imac
b. playlists accesible by sonos
c. hand synchronizing with my IOS devices
I searched the internet to get directions to accomplish this but no joy
Can anyone on this foum give me a hand?

Thanks for all the replies.
First of all I made a conceptual mistake. I was under the impression that if you turn om itunes matches all music would disapear from the HD of the computer because everything was in the cloud. Secondly I thought that new music bought from the itunes store would be tagged and not being fysical downloaded to the HD. Both conceptual ideas proved to be wrong. All the music is still fysical on my HD.
Turning of itunes match I can do in itunes under the store menu I found that. Do I still have to turn it off on all the mobile devices, or will turning of in the store menu suffice?

How can I subscribe to itunes Match redeeming from itunes card instead of using credit card?

Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

Apple TV ( 2&3) - iTunes Match playlist issue

After the latest firmware update none of my ATVs (3 of, 2 ATV2 and 1 ATV3) allow my ITunes Match playlists to be selected using either the ATV remote or iPhone Remote App. When playlists are selected the ATV appears to reset (white LED flashes and connection to iPhone dropped). It is however possible to access playlists successfully using the iPad Remote App??? This ***** as I have my music library stored in the cloud and regularly played music via the ATVs, my son had some of his own playlists which he now gets upset he can't access. Come on Apple sort this out , your loyal customers are getting frustrated by your one step forward & another step back software upgrade program.

Thanks for the advice on how to contact apple.....they don't make it easy!!!!!
However you are incorrect, other people have had this problem, search in iTunes- iTunes Match- discussions for "ITunes crashes when loading playlists on Apple TV".
Interestingly my ATV had an update tonight ( looks like a roll back to me) as the crashing problem has cleared but the previous issue I was having ( and had not reported yet) has reoccurred. The problem is that I have many playlists in ITunes and subsequently in Match however my ATV only shows the first 24 - again frustrating and similarly you can access all the playlists if you connect with iPad remote App but not with the iPhone remote app??

How to properly set up iTunes Match on multiple devices

Hi,
I've just purchased iTunes Match and I would like to set it up to all devices in my apartment. I've read that you can set it up up to 10 devices.
My situation:
I have MacBook Pro, iPhone 4 and iPad with my Apple ID.
My wife has her MacBook Pro and iPhone 3GS with her Apple ID.
My Macbook is authorised with her account and her MacBook is athorised with my account, so we can copy music from each other.
We have almost the same music library, just with few differencies (I have more heavy music and she has bit more soft music).
I've purchased the iTunes Match on my MacBook. How could I turn the iTunes Match on her MacBook and iPhone?
Thanks a lot for any advice or link

How to delete tune without iTunes

Hi,
I have a problem, I have some old podcast which I like to keep on my harddrive. Then I got the ipod, so I want to store the podcast episodes there. But dragging direct from Finder to ipod show me it copied but didn't appear under podcast. I found out after a few trial and error that I should have added the podcast to iTunes before dragging into ipod. So...
Good : Finder -> iTunes Podcast -> iPod
Bad : Finder -> iPod
So now those files I drag direct from finder into ipod are in the ipod but I can't get rid of them, cause they don't show up in the iTunes list. It shows up in Senuti and iPodDisk, but both don't allow me to delete the song. Now I can't drag those podcast episodes in to ipod from iTunes podcast anymore. It somehow recognise that the file exist on the ipod but wouldn't list it on the podcast.
So, back to the question, How to delete tune without iTunes?? thanks

Did you try using the Finder? I'm trying to accomplish similar management tasks. Finder seems far superior to itune management, for podcasts management. This might work-- First quit itunes.
Use a finder window, not spotlight, search itunes and single-click on any folder by that name. Notice which of these files is in your startup disc (in case you have other bootable drives connected)-- Notice the little icons on the bottom of the Finder window. Double click on "iTunes Music" at the window bottom. A new Finder window should open. I recomend the list mode, selectable at the top left of Finder window. Now you should be able to view all your itune- contents on the computer. It seems these files can be deleted, but one must remeber to empty trash before going further. Unfortunately this approach won't allow adding new folders that will show up in itunes.
