Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

Maybe they don't have the same taste in music as you
Apple don't make or 'own' songs - other companies allow Apple to sell them. Sometimes these rights owners remove the songs from the store. Apple can't do much about that. You should make backups of any purchases, since Apple cannot guarantee they will be available in future.

Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud

Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud.

I spent time last night reloading the missing songs. It did not take too
long, as you indicated much of the data existed at some point in the
Cloud. Seems part of my library was duplicated on my main itunes computer
and that caused some confusion. Turned off and turned on Itunes match on
my work PC and Iphone and everything was available again for streaming.
Hopefully I don't run into this next year at renewal time. I do back up
to a hard drive and can use my ipod as a reference back up.
When it works the Icloud/Itunes back up and streaming is excellent.
Although initially last year it took 7 days to load my library.

Have you tried checking the Store drop-down menu in the iTunes interface to see if you are signed in the existing account?

Why wont itunes give me the option to delete a song from my computer as well as the itunes library??

I want to clean up my music library, but when I try to delete a song from iTunes it doesn't give me the option to delete the file for the song from my laptop. Is there a reason why??

If you are deleteing from a playlist, it won't ask to delete from the hard drive (unless you hold Shift and press Delete).
If you are deleting from the library and it is not asking you, go to iTunes prefs > Advanced and tick Reset all dialog warnings.

Delete song from playlist and library: only by Shift+Delete ? No right-click menu ?

Am I missing this function somewhere in the drop-down menu, when you right-click on a song from a playlist ?
I see only the "Delete" action, which only removes the song from the playlist, not from the library.
Same as pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.
Shouldn't there be both actions: "Delete From Playlist", and "Delete From Library" (the second one implies it is
also deleted from this playlist and from any other playlist).
And why is Shift-Delete not documented in the Help / Keyboard shortcuts ?

If you are deleting from a playlist and you want to delete for the library as well, you have to press shift and delete.

IPhone deletes 400 songs from playlist and syncs that to iTunes

Hi there,
I'm new on these forums, although I've been using iTunes (on a Windows PC) for many years.
I got an iPhone 4s, set it up to use iCloud and iTunes Match.
Now I chose to play a playlist (via Bluetooth) of about 500 songs randomly in the iphone. The phone downloaded the music via WLAN and played about 30 songs from that list. So far, so good.
Next day I realized in iTunes that only these 30 songs remain on this particular list - and the other 450 or so were gone.
I did change the list in iTunes prior to realizing this: I added an album, so it's these 30 songs + the new album.
Since I haven't used an iPhone before, I'm a bit lost as to where the error lies. Have I done something wrong? Is iTunes Match not working correctly?
Searching the web brought up many issues with iTunes Match, but nothing for this case.
Of course, I can give more info, if you need it. So, is there anyone who has an explication for this? Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,
Volker

On a Mac, use Option+Delete to:
Delete the selected playlist and all the songs it contains from your library
Delete the selected song from your library and all playlists
You can find all the keyboard shortcuts in the iTunes Help menu > Keyboard shortcuts.

I bought a new computer and I need to transfer songs from my iPod to my itunes account, but it does not transfer songs that were on CDs; how do i transfer them?

I have an iPod nano and an iTouch. I used to buy songs off of my iTunes account on my iTouch, and would sync them onto my computer. I would then sync the songs on my computer onto my iPod. However, i got a new computer which complicates things. I thought that I would not have to save all my songs onto a thumbdrive on my old computer, because i would be using the same iTunes account; I thought iTunes would be able to pull up all my songs on my account onto the new computer. This was not the case. I signed into iTunes with my account (the account is the same for iPod, iTouch, old computer), but it gave me a blank library. I then tried "transfering" my songs from my iPod onto my new computer, but it only pulled up about ten songs; most of the songs on my iPod were either from CDs or purchases on my iTouch. I need help on how to get my songs from my iPod or iTouch onto my new computer!! Any help would be great!!

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Delete songs from playlist, library and off the hard drive at the same time

I have playlists full of captured radio streams that I keep briefly for discovering new music. But periodically I want to clean them out. I know I can delete the files from the playlist, then go in and delete the song from the main library, and the authorize iTunes to go ahead and move those songs to the trash. But since these songs are nice and efficiently grouped by playlist, I want to have the option to delete the songs from the playlist and at the same time remove them from the main library and move the actual files to the trash. Any way to do this?
I know the idea is to keep you from accidentally deleting your original song files just because you want to take them out of a playlist, but I want the option to get rid of them all together.

Answered: Select the song in the playlist, hit command-option delete, and you'll get a dialog box with the option of leaving the song in the main library or moving it to the trash.

I got a first generation IPOD TOUCH for my husband and want to take some songs From my Computer that is hooked up to MY newer IPOD (not Touch, just IPOD) Is it possible to take the music from my ITUNES account and add the his IPOD Touch without changing

I am trying to take songs from my PC AND My Itunes account and send them to my husband's IPOD TOUCH First Generation BUT I don't want to change my whole ITUNES account that is already on my computer. When I plug HIS Ipod Touch into the PC, my ITUNES account wants me to CHANGE the DEVICE Name on the account and I don't want to do that. I only want to share SOME of my songs on my Itunes account and send them to h is IPOD TOUCH? Is this possible and HOW! Thanks a ton!!! I "checked" off the songs that I want to send but that's as far as I get before it asks me to change the Device Name?

Is his iPod usually synced to a different iTunes library/computer? If so, that would explain the message iTunes is giving you. An iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new library, the iPod's contents will be erased and replaced with what is in the newer/different iTunes library.
So if there is content you would like to add to his iPod, simply transfer it from your iTunes library to his.

I just bought the MacBook Air and tried to transfer my songs from my external hard drive to my mac. now i cannot open iTunes and it said that the file cannot be found or created.

i just bought a macbook air. ive been transfering all my songs from my external harddrive that i had on my previous laptop for itunes. now that i got them transfered. my itunes wont open. it says "the itunes library file cannot be found or created. the default location for this file is in the itunes folder in the music folder." what do i do!?!

How did you move the music? You have to do it in a specific way:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

My hard drive crashed and I need to transfer songs from my itouch to my computer. How can I do this?

My hard drive crashed and I have a new computer. I can't seem to transfer the songs from my itouch to my computer. I used to be able to just listen to my music directly from my computer, now I can only listen to what I have bought while on the computer. Any help would be great.

MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
Can anyone help?
Windows XP

okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
uninstall itunes.
then reinstall it.
plug your ipod in.
a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
click NO.
then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
your ipod should show up.
go to summary
then check managely manage my music, and then update.
this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..
