HT204406 Do we have to download songs to an ipad from itunes match

Do we have to download songs to an ipad from itunes match? I'm hoping to play them when connected to the internet only.
Thanks

This should answer your question.
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
The songs are downloaded to your device.

Try a power cycled of the iPad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.

HT203167 I have a few songs that I purchased from iTunes store that now only play the first 2 or 3 words of the song. How do I get the whole song back?

Hello hmcc44,
You may need to delete the items from your iTunes Library, then redownload them.

If the issue persists beyond that point, I would recommend reporting an issue with the tracks to the iTunes Store.

HT204406 How to download songs to my ipad from icloud after I signed up for itunes match???

I signed up for itunes match on the promise that I would have access to all my music and could download to my devices. But now that they've hooked me for the $24.99, there doesn't seem to be a way to download the music to my ipad (IOS 6). What am I missing?

Sorry aobut the delay, work stuff. It shows they are uploaded. These aren't song I bought on itunes, maybe I should've started with that.

I am trying to download songs that i purchased from Itune, but it will no let me download ones

In iTunes do you have the download option available in the right hand pane? If yes, are there any downloads showing - possibly with an (error) message?

Can't download purchased content onto ipad from iTunes Store

I have purchased a tv series on the iTunes Store on my lap top. When I go to iTunes on my iPad it will not let me download it onto my iPad. The cloud symbol turns to a circle for a couple of seconds and then goes back to a cloud symbol. Any ideas? Thanks.

That's good to hear.
After some mucking about I managed to get it downloading on another computer (which is already running 10.8). Hopefully I should be able to copy it over and install.
But I will let Apple know - potentially pretty disasterous for people.
Thanks.

Load and delete single songs on iphone/ipad using itunes match iOS6

Hi,
in the past (iOS5) it was possible to load and delete single songs on my device additional to stream them with WLAN (the were also stored physically on my device :-(((
with iOS6 the songs are not stored on my device via streaming :-)))) but if I want some music physically on my iOSdevice it's only possible to load the whole album and not only a single song. I don't know to delete songs/albums anyway :-(((
Did Apple cancled this possibilties?!?!:-((((

On my iPhone 4 using iOS 6, when I turn off iTunes Match, all the songs on the phone disappear so I can't delete them. However, when syncing with iTunes 11, it shows the songs still taking up memory. And that's with music syncing turned off. It appears that my only solution is to restore the phone. However, iTunes 11 appears to be hung now for over 15 minutes.

HT204406 Downloading from iTunes Match.

I am trying to download one of my albums from iTunes Match, and only some of the songs are downloading (yes, I clicked download all). The songs show the circle as if it's going to download, but then the "Cloud" icon reappears, and the download begins with the next song. I have tried deleting the album and starting over, but that doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this? Happens when I try Cellular Data or just Wifi.
Thanks!
Sean

Yes it will use data on your cellular plan unless connected to wi-fi.

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

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.

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.
