HT4915 Just wish to delete icloud songs from itunes

I woke up to find most of my music doubled due to iCloud being present. I'm not a big fan oc icloud so i choose not to use it. is there anyway to get the icloud songs off of my itunes?

Your songs shouldn't be duplicated even if iCloud purchases are showing.
Go to iTunes -> Preferences -> Store and uncheck "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases".
If you still are seeing duplicates, you will need to go to View -> Show Duplicates and sort through them manually.

  • Deleting iCloud songs from iPod Touch? Please!

    Hi,
    The quick way of saying what I'm trying to do is delete and iCloud song from my iPod and the photo at the bottom will give you an idea of what Im talking about but...
    I was working with an Apple person over the phone last night for my macbook but he ended up seeing 2 aerosmith songs under various artists because they were purchased from a movie soundtrack. What he did was change around the song information so that it would show up under Aerosmith. After doing this, the song did show up under Aerosmith but it also brought up the letters V and P which it also listed Aerosmith under. We did some searching and when we pulled the information for the 2 songs, we saw that in the copyright part (where we are unable to retype anything, the name Pamela Jetson came up which is why there is a P.
    After that we deleted the songs from iTunes but now I'm trying to do this from my iPod so that hopefully this will go, but it will only put a cloud next to it and not fully delete it. I could try looking back at my old computer to see how it exactly was identified and see if we can bring it back down to the various artists but I do'n't want it to bring every Aerosmith song with it because you can see how under the P all Aerosmith songs are listed. Because of this, when I go to hit the letters on the side such as T to find say, Tom Petty, it guesses that T is in-between the A and V so it jumps up to the top rather than going to the bottom where the Ts really are...
    Thank you so much!!!!

    Tried this and was able to fully clear Aerosmith from the song info. but it is still causing this... Irritating, when I get another iPhone, and download everything as it appears on the computer (the song is no longer on the computer) will this reoccur?

  • 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 some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
    If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • Deleting a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0

    how do i delete a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0 at the same time.

    Hello CleveCo, Inc
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    At some point in time, you may have selected the option to prevent that dialog from appearing again when trying to delete tracks from your library. To reset all of iTunes warning dialogs, click the Edit drop down menu and choose Preferences from the list (on a Mac it is *iTunes -> Preferences* ). When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab and click the *Reset Warnings* button. Then quit iTunes and relaunch it. That do the trick for you?

  • I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power.  Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
    When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash.  If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash.  An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

  • HT4915 How do I delete a song from my iPhone 4s if it is not showing up in iTunes?

  • How do I re-install iTunes so that when I delete a song from iTunes I have the option to remove it from my computer as well?

    I created multiple libraries and multiple locations for music of different genres; however, in the end I decided that I wanted to keep all of my music in one location and to have just one iTunes library.  The problem is that when I go to delete a song from my iTunes library, I no longer have the option to remove the file from my computer as well.  This is because the my iTunes library and the location of my music files were not in my iTunes music folder (http://forums.ilounge.com/itunes-mac-pc/119629-delete-songs-itunes-library-compu ter-together.html).  I tried changing the iTunes Media Folder location (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364), but that didn't solve.  Then I tried reinstalling iTunes: I figured that starting fresh would put my iTunes library in the right location so that I would have this option again, but it didn't work. (When reinstalling, I got an error message that 6D5Dubs, the name of my last iTunes library, couldn't be found.  I clicked 'OK' and was asked to 'Choose was asked to 'Choose library...' or 'Create Library'.  I created a library since I had deleted the other ones in my attempt to start fresh)   Any suggestions?  Note: I find the CTRL+R solution tedious for my purposes.
    Some extra info:
    Running Windows 7, 64bit

  • How can i delete unwanted songs from iTunes match?

    With a limit on how many songs that can be uploded to iTunes match, how can i remove songs that i didn't want uploaded to the Cloud?

    Right click on the song on the computer your music is on and delete the song and make sure you check the box that says delete from iCloud.
    If you want to delete the song from iCloud you also have to delete the song from the library that you are syncing from.

  • To delete a song from itunes i right click on the song, delete, click on move file to recycle bin, clear the recycle bin but the music is still in my itunes music folder? how do i delete it from itunes and the folder?

    Because when i back my computer up all of the music i have tried to delete hasnt been deleted properly so everything is backed up HELP!!!! Please

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • I deleted a song from iTunes and it deleted all the music from the artist?

    I was deleting a duplicate song from an album of an artist that I have a lot of music from and somehow iTunes deleted all the music from that artist. It's not supposed to do that especially when you're only deleting one song. Has anyone had this happen? It wasn't music that I bought from the iTunes store it was off cds.

    Hello Rabzzy,
    I would be concerned too if I was charged for the same song twice.  I recommend using the steps in the following article to report this issue:

  • How do I delete multiple songs from iTunes at once?

    I rarely listen to music. I have a few hundred songs that were transferred from my mom's computer to my computer that I don't want. I'm not about to go through and delete them all one at a time, so how do I delete several at once?

    Select a track, shift+click another to select the range in between.
    Hold down the command key to select multiple individual tracks.
    Delete.

  • How to delete unauthorized songs from itunes on my mac

    My itunes account has old unauthorized songs and need to delete them before I can sync with my new iphone

    Just to clarify a bit...

    That would be your iTunes library (which is on your computer - your iTunes folder and all media).
    Your iTunes account is what you use to purchase songs.
