How to get rid of past songs from itunes match?

I recently had iTunes match, used it, wasn't satisfied. So I turned it off my phone... but the songs that I had once downloaded, are still there (kind of) you can't play them, but they show up like this: they show up like the "De La Soul" songs do. it also seems that since this, I've had sort of a tough time putting songs onto my iPhone.
any help? thanks

These "ghost tracks" as I call them are a presistent, irritating bug that was supposed to be fixed in iOS 5.1. So if you haven't upgraded yet, do so and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then...
Connect your iPhone via USB and unselect "sync music" and sync. This will remove all the music on your iPhone. You may need to do it a couple of times, or more. Then see if the "ghost tracks" are gone.
If not, then try selecting the "manually manage music" option on the Summary pane and manually deleting the tracks, syncing again, and unselecting the "manually manage" option, then sync again.
If this does not work then you'll need to do a full OS restore, then restor from backup.

  • How to get rid of iOS apps from iTunes?

    I deleted some apps from my iPhone and iPad by pressing long until the apps start to wiggle and then tapping the X. I also deleted the same apps from iTunes Apps. But every time I run the Apps update in iTunes it re-downloads these deleted apps. How do I get rid of them for good?

    You have to contact Apple if you want to change your Country or Region with a credit.

  • How to get rid of /j2ee prefix from URL when I use the OC4J via Oracle HTTP server

    In 9iAS 9.0.2 Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is pre-configured to assign requests to the Home OC4J instance via the URL-prefix "/j2ee"/
    For example, the TEST servlet under OC4J would be passed through OHS using:
    http://urmachine:urApachePort/j2ee/TEST
    whereas in the standlone OC4J version, this URL works:

  • How to get rid of compound information from nodes

    Hi expert,
           I have a hierarchy used for cost center in the report, when displaying cost center, its compound 'controlling area' is also displaying. such as for a node, its key value is 'CM01FIAC_FR_EA', in wich 'CM01' is for controlling area. I am trying to remove controlling area from display of cost center.
           for cost center, I have removed its compound from displaying by adding controlling area into row and setting it as 'no display', but for nodes of cost center hierarchy, compounds are still ther. please tell me how to get rid of compound information from nodes?
    Many Thanks,

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11857427#11857427
    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

  • How can I download songs from iTunes match to my iMac

    How can I down load my music from iTunes match and play it on my iMac without having g3 or wifi?

    Hi tkattan,
    iTunes Match is ran strictly off of Wi-Fi or a Cellular connection. Devices with iTunes Match turned off can have both the computer and device without any connection to the internet to download music via USB. However, iTunes Match is ran off of iCloud—a Wi-Fi/Cellular based product.
    If you would like to download a song on your device connected to the internet:
    Make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi or a Cellular Network.
    Make sure your device is running iOS 5.0 or higher (only iDevices can run iTunes Match).
    Go to "Music" and you will see music able to be downloaded from the cloud. (If you do not see your music, make sure you have General > Music > Show All Music "ON".)
    Click the cloud symbol next to the songs you would like to stream them on your phone and without a Wi-Fi/Cellular connection.
    Hope this helps!
    - Ronni

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).

    Hey imol92,
    You may have already looked at this; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
    It is all the public information on removing songs that you have uploaded to the iTunes Cloud.

  • I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    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 do I download songs from iTunes Match for offline or spotty coverage?

    I have a 64GB iPhone and want to be able to DOWNLOAD songs from iTunes match for use when I have spotty 3G coverage (or no coverage, or only expensive coverage, or on an airplane). How can I do this? Right now iTunes is not using any of my data storage on my phone for previously downloaded songs for future use (caching).

    What you want to do actually has nothing to do with iTunes Match. What you need to do is enable automatic downloads in iTunes. Open iTunes prefs > Store and select the option for, at least, "music" and click OK. Now any music you buy will be downloaded to your iTunes library automatically. But iTunes will need to be running for this to happen.

  • Insurance claim for music - how to get print out of purchases from itunes

    Can any one help me as my Hard Drive crashed yesterday and i've lost all my Music, movies etc purchased from itunes in the last 2 years. Need to know how to get a detailed print out from itunes to prove purchase and claim on insurance. And yes i know i should have backed up my recent files...

    The only way is to log into your iTunes Store account (you'll need a working computer with iTunes installed, of course), go to your Purchase History, and do a screen capture of each successive page. There's no way to print out a full listing of all your purchased in one go.
    Regards.

    is there anyway i can get all my downloaded songs from itunes onto my ipad?

    If you cannot powerup the phone, there would be no way to recover the photos from the device. Have you tried to just connect it to the computer? If the photos are that important, have you considered possibly a 3rd party repair to just fix the screen so you can access the device, or was there more broken than the screen?

  • HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc.  there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

    I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes).  Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

    I just found the answer by myself.  Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download.  Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine.  I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH.  To me, it was a disaster.  Worse than their map app.
