I have iTunes Match: how do I download all my songs

I have iTunes Match.
I have jut bought a new iPad and want to download all my existing albums. I don't always have Internet access or access to iCloud or iTunes on my MBP, and am happy with duplicating my music on/to all my Apple devices.  I can't find out how to download all my albums/songs in one go rather than one album at a time?  Can anyone help me please.

Hello ski bum,
Currently you would need to go to each album and download them to get the songs. You do have the option to go to the iTunes Store app and go to More > Purchased > Music > All Songs, there is a Download All button in the upper right hand corner and that will only work for purchased content from the iTunes Store. 
Download past purchases

  • Itunes match  how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

    In ITunes match  how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

    First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1.  I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match.  After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
    Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

    Create a smart playlist with the criteria being location - not on this computer. Then select all, right click and download.

  • How do I save my music in the cloud like my phone? (I have iTunes Match), How do I save my music in the cloud like my phone? (I have iTunes Match)

    My iPad 2 used almost 10 GB of memory yet I have iCloud, iTunes Match and it only uses 250 MB on my cell phone (with all the same music). How do I use iCloud like my iPhone 4S  and save all music there?
    Thx

    If you are using iTunes Match on all your devices, then you are able to just delete songs from your devices in order to free up local space again and then re-download them whenever you want. I assume that you do not have the all the same music on your iPhone already downloaded, it is only shown to you with a little cloud icon which means that you are able to download them.

  • If I have a 16G 4S and purchase iTunes Match, how will I acess all my music if its 50G?

    I want to purchase iTunes Match as I have over 50G of music.  However, my new iPhone 4S is only 16G.  How does that work?

    You would load some of your music on the phone right away to have it handy without an internet connection, then have the option to access other music via wifi or 3G.

  • If I have iTunes match, how can I physically add tracks from iTunes to my phone?

    I'm travelling to an area without WiFi and 3g with poor reception so I want music to actually physically copy the music onto my iPhone. When I try to drag the tracks over to my phone in iTunes, it says that it hasn't copied them over becuase they are available via the Cloud.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need to download then via iTunes Match before you travel.

  • How can download all the songs from itunes match to an ipad 2?

    I activate itunes match in my Imac, the process of scan and identify the library songs is finished successfully, after that i activate the itunes match in my ipad,  I need download all the songs in the ipad, I select Music Icon and don't appear the (download all) button in the section of songs,  i have to push the cloud button in each song to download?
    I enter in the section of albums and playlist and in this section the button download all appears. How can i download all the songs to the device?

    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.

  • Don't have ITunes Match but I can't delete downloaded songs

    So I DO NOT have iTunes Match however my music app had iCloud songs that I could download since some were not on my iPhone. I didn't want any of them but accidentally downloaded a few and now I can't get rid of them by swiping left in the app. I turned off show all music so I wouldn't download anymore. Also I thought I could delete them from my library on my computer but they don't show up. I'm running iOS 7 if that helps at all. Thanks

    You are probably thinking about Apple's USB Power Adapter Takeback Program.
    It ended October 2013, and they weren't free anyway.

  • HT4914 I have Itunes Match but still get ads on Apple radio.  How can I fix

    ITunes Match is enabled but still get ads on Apple Radio channels.  How can I fix?
    thx,

    Hey there Chriskir,
    It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:
    Settings > General > Usage
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • HT4914 can i download all the songs back down to my devices so i can use full library any time ??

    after uploading all songs to iTunes match can i then download all back to my devices (as do not have mobile broadband and like to listen on the road/gym ??

    Hi,
    You can download all tracks if you want them on your iphone at all times. Alternatively you could download specific playlists if space is an issue.

  • HT1391 I had all of my music on an external hard drive that failed. I have iTunes Match so all of my music was synced with the "cloud". How do I now download and save all of my music back down on a new external hard drive?

    I had all of my music on an external hard drive that crashed. I have iTunes Match so all of my music was synced in the cloud. How do I now re-load my music back down onto a new external hard drive?

    Hey Rbe58!
    I believe this question can be answered by the information in the following article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12492
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden
