How to download with "Show All Music" off

I want to keep "Show All Music" off in my iPhone settings, but if I do so how do I download my own music that wasn't purchased from iTunes from the cloud? I don't see it anywhere.

I have been using iTunes match since beta and have found myself cleaning up my music collection... rather than horde entire CDs for just one song, I'm removing all that extra stuff and really making sure my music collection is just what I want to hear. I also re-thought my playlists so I could get at the music I want and not have to weed through a lot of stuff I only listen too once in a while.
I have my iPhone set to manually sync, as I use it more for running and sports so prefer a certain collection of songs... then I have my iPad set to the cloud so I can access anything anywhere.
I'm happy they have enabled both options and find it quite flexible. I imagine as they get feedback things will improve as well.

Dear Sirs,
I turn on the iTunes Match in my iphone3GS, but the itme of "show all musics" not show up and turn on, so when I open musics in my iPone3GS, the musics seems not be matched with iClouds.I means it doesn't work on.

Hello there Jameskuo47,
In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
This section specifically:
To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Note:
iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
latest iOS software here'
Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
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 enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
All the best,
Sterling

Still seeing songs from cloud even though the "show all music" setting is OFF

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. All the devices are rising up against me
IPhone 5 issue
Just to be clear:
In Settings > Music
"Show all music" is OFF
"iTunes Match" is OFF
Please don't tell me to turn them off, because they are absolutely off!
I am still seeing music from my cloud in my song list ANYWAY!! Not every song from my cloud, just less than half. Music I don't want on my phone, like my daughter's music, and other random songs. What also concerns me is since it won't let me remove them, if I go into an area with no wifi, I will use data playing the songs.
Swiping right to left does not work (or the other direction, I tried for the **** of it).
How do I get the random cloud music to stop displaying? I only want what I downloaded to show and that's it. I've tried all night to figure it out and it's making me nutty. Is there some other obscure thing I am missing or is this some crazy bug?
Thanks

SO I dont have a computer with itunes on it - which wasnt an issue with iphone4. in the process of getting a new laptop. its a moot point.
anyways, I came up with a solution to my problem (so far, so good).
Open to the iTunes store app
Scroll to the bottom of the main screen and click on your Apple ID, which gives you the option to Sign Out.
Sign out!
Reboot the phone
Presto - all the iCloud stowaways have disappeared from my music app.
Sharing in case anyone else has this issue

Turn off show all music; extra songs appear in iPhone library; unable to delete

I turn ON 'show all music', then download a couple more songs I want from iCloud to expand my iPhone5 library. Then I turn 'show all music' back OFF and a myriad of other songs appear in my library that I did not want downloded to my phone (nor did I select from the cloud) and I am unable to delete them from the library...
This sounds like a glitch with the iOS 7.0.4 as I am unable to find a similar solution in the community other than "delete all your music and start over..." which is not the route I'd like to take. If there are other remedies out there, please help! Apple, if you're listening, please fix! I have over 750 songs in the cloud!

Items with the Cloud icon are not on your phone. They are items that have been purchased previously but have since been deleted. You can download them again by tapping the Cloud icon.

Why is music randomly downloading from iCloud when I switch back and forth from "Show All Music"?

My entire music library is on iCloud, which is how I initially loaded my iPhone 5s with music. I originally loaded it with roughly 1,100 songs. In everyday use, I have the option "Show All Music" turned off. Periodically, when I want to add songs to my phone or listen to other songs in the iCloud, I turn "Show All Music" on.
It seems that every time I switch the "Show All Music" button on and off it adds about 30 songs to my iPhone which has spontaneously increased to about 1,600 songs. Is there any solution to this?

LiveType does not support any kind of audio, Bob.
Go through your movie in the FC Timeline and set markers at the relevant cue points by pressing M.
Pressing M a second time whilst sitting on the marker, will open a dialog where you can type a suitable description in the name field. Keep the description short -it might help to take notes too.
Export a copy of the movie (including markers) and bring it into LiveType with File > Place background Movie. The markers will show up at the top of the LT timeline, with their descriptions.
Delete the background from LiveType when you have everything lined up. Save your LT project file and import it into FCE. You can use the project file exactly like a video clip.
If you need to go back to LiveType for changes, right click the LT file in FCE's Timeline. Choose "Open in Editor". This will open the project in LT. Make changes, save the file and it will update in FCE.

How do you delete all music off Ipod when music is faded on computer screen

Having trouble deleting all music off an old iPod. When I try to delete the music playlist is faded not allowing me to delete anything. I would be very grateful if someone could help me within the next few hours.

Hi obuzz,
Welcome to the Support Communities! One way to delete all of the music off of your iPod classic is to restore it to factory settings. The resource below will explain how.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201540
Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
I hope this information helps ....

How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

How do u clear all music off ur ipod without losing it on itunes??

im not sure how 2 clear all music off mi ipod video without losing it off itunes??

Thanks for the clarification. Since I have the ipod
nano and there is no update for that at this time,
there is no reason for me to run the ipod updater.
Well, no, not unless you want to erase the iPod.
But - in the event that I do need to run a new ipod
updater in the future, what's the deal with having to
buy an AC adapter just to update the software? Is
this true? You said “maybe” I need one, which means
I won't know until I start the process of updating
the ipod, that I "might" need to buy an AC adapter?
Is this correct for the nano? Because it did not
come with a AC adapter. What am I suppose to do?
Leave the ipod connected for a few days while I go
out an buy a AC adapter to finish the update? Can
you be more specific? Is an AC adapter needed for
the ipod nano when updating the ipod software?
The Nano is a USB powered device. In order to update or restore it, you will need either an AC adapter or a USB 2 capable computer (USB 1 is not good enough). Basically the device needs a higher power input than usual for this sort of thing, so that it can update its flash memory without risk of damage due to power loss. Thus it requires power input when this is occuring. The AC Adapter is a sure fire way, a USB 2 port is almost as good.

Why can I only delete music from my phone (with itunes match) when "show all music" is selected

This is pretty messed up... I can't delete any music from my phone unless I have the "show all music" command turned on. This is the complete opposite from how it should be. Please get it together, Apple!

Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

i have an ipod 4 can i connect to pc and, using itunes match, store all music off ipod and then transfer to a new ipod 5?

hI, bella
I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Click 'OK'.

Using iTunes Match, Show All Music not working for one playlist

I am using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2. I just recently subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music has been matched/uploaded.
When I turn on iTunes Match and Show All Music on my iPhone, all of my playlists show up but one of them is incomplete, and doesn't have an option to download the missing songs from the cloud.
So, for example, I have a playlist that on my Mac has 696 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, and they all appear as either already on my phone or downloadable. Most of the other playlists are the same: working as expected. But I also have a playlist that on my Mac has 58 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, but only nine of them appear on my phone (they were already there), and none of the remaining 49 are showing as available to download from the cloud.
Is it possible to fix this? I've had bad luck in the past deleting playlists on the phone with the goal of having them refresh during the next sync. (The bad luck involved my playlists being deleted in iTunes on my Mac after the sync.)

Hi Michael,
thanks for this, this helped me out as I just had the same issue but on my iPad lol.
Forgot about that setting even though I knew about it, just goes to show, out of sight, out of mind.

Show all music shows duplicates

When I turn on show all music my iphone shows duplicates of some songs. When I click the download it shows that it's downloading both and when its done it shows only one has downloaded. When I go on another phone with the same Apple id it doesn't show any duplicates when show all music is turned on. What do i do to stop the duplicates from my phone on the cloud

Sounds like some songs listed in the Purchased section are not downloaded on the iPod. To download past pruchases to the iPod see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Show all music not working on my iPhone!

Dear Community:
I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 installed with iTunes Match turned on. I'm not sure if this problem existed in iOS 6 (I'd say no), but even when I enable "show all music", my library doesn't show up entirely. It only shows the 1000 or so songs that i have downloaded. When I connect to WiFi, it shows my entire library, and gives me the option to download any track, as usual. Before the problem started, my entire library showed up, and I could download any track over 3G, BUT I could listen to it only if i had downloaded it before, so if I enable the use of 3G i will be able to listen over cellular, but with the classic lousy quality, and not the full track.
Any suggestions as to why my library isn't showing? I've tried disabling show all, closing the app, enabling, rebooting, etc. and still no results. If anyone could help me, would be great.
Best,
F
