HT4914 can i delete music from my computer once it's in itunes match cloud?

once all my music has been uploaded to the cloud as part of itunes match, can i delete the actual files off of my computer?

Hi fasking,
If you take a look at the following article, there should be an option when deleting the local file for whether or not you want to delete the copy on iCloud:
iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud

To delete an item from iCloud in iTunes
From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Click Music on the left side of iTunes.
Select the item you would like to delete. Right-click the item and then choose Delete.
You will be asked to confirm this action.
If the item you want to delete exists in iTunes on your computer as well as in iCloud, click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.
It's also always a good idea to have a local backup of any files you are concerned about keeping:

Why can't I delete music from my iphone under IOS6 while using iTunes Match?

It's easy enough to add music from the Cloud, but I have a HUGE music collection (all legally acquired, thanks) and I don't always want the same music taking up space on my iPhone. How do I get rid of a song/album/playlist, without turning off iTunes Match? Shouldn't this work like everything else -- I swipe right and press delete?

Not a bug, it's the way Apple has designed things. Read here:

If you don't like it, tell Apple:

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums. I am still on iOS 7.

You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

How can i download music from my computer to my i phone

how can i download music from my computer to my i phone?

If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
Good luck.

Which MacOS X version do you use?
How are you planning to store photos in iCloud? There are many ways to use iCloud with photos, but none will save space on your Mac:
iCloud Drive: Any photo you store on iCloud Drive will also have a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space, see: iCloud Drive FAQ
My Photo Stream: Photos you upload to My Photo Stream from your Mac, are also stored on your Mac. And My Photo Stream is only a temporary storage for a month. You cannot keep the photos permanently in My Photo Stream, see: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud Photo Sharing: Shared Photo albums are also stored locally, and reduce the resolution of the photos: seeiCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
iCloud Photo Library (Beta): This is not yet available on a mac, but will be available, when the new Photos.app will be released. Right now you can use it from mobile iOS8 devices, iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ.Photos you store in iCloud from mobile devices can be accessed on your mac using the icloud web portal. You can however upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta from your mac using the Photos.app (Beta) on web interface at https://www.icloud.com

TS1253 Once I save my photos to the airport time capsule; can I delete them from the computer drive?

Once my photos have been saved by the airport time capsule can I delete them from my computer hard drive.

Please think about this for a moment.
If you move your images to the Time Capsule...and delete them from your computer's hard drive......then, the only copy of the images that you will have will be on the Time Capsule.
So, now your "originals" are on the Time Capsule....since you deleted them from the computer's hard drive to create more space.
When...not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you cannot access your images.......where will your backups of your images be?

No since you can only sync with one computer.

Can I transfer music from my computer to ipad?

Before I buy an iPad, I have some questions. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I've not had a tablet before.
Can I transfer music from my computer to my ipad? I do not plan to purchase itunes.
Can I download apps like kindle and nook to get books from my local library and other sources?
Can I get a pdf reader app so I can download them to my ipad?
Can I put movies on my ipad from my computer?
Thanks.

You can sync music and other content to an iPad via your computer's iTunes (a free download from here) - you don't have to purchase anything in order to use the program. You can buy music from Apple, from other sites and/or copy your own CDs via iTunes, and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.

I don't know what country that you are in, but there is a Kindle app available for the iPad in a number of countries (the app is free) which can be linked to your Amazon account so you can download your kindle ebooks into it. There are also Nook and Kobo ereader apps.
There are also a number of PDF reader apps for the iPad, some of them free like Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and some which are paid-for which are more powerful e.g. GoodReader.
Films can be purchased from Apple, or there are other sites such as Netflix with their own apps. The iPad natively supports a number of video formats (they are listed on this page).
There is a manual for the iPad here which has some info on it's built-in apps (plus iBooks which is a free download) : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/

If I have home sharing can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my other devices such as IPhone and IPod?

If I have Home Sharing enabled, can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my IPhone and IPod?

Home sharing has no effect on deleting music from your iPad. If you delete music on your iPad it will have no effect on your other iDevices.
You cannot add or delete music with home sharing anyway. You can only share what is on one library on another device.

How can I delete apps from my computer?

How can I delete apps from my computer and subsequently have this filter to my ipad, iphones?

If you are syncing through iTunes to manage content on your iPad and iPhones (not using iCloud), you can "filter" what goes on each device in iTunes.
To do this, select the device in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Apps tab. On that screen, select the apps you want on the device. Apply the change.
So each device can have a different set of apps, from your overall library in iTunes that has everything. There is no need to delete the app from your iTunes library in order for it to be delete from a device.
But if you DO want to delete an app from your iTunes library, select Apps in the iTunes sidebar (under LIBRARY). Over to the right, find and select the app you want to delete. Right (or Control) click on the app and select Delete.
