I have songs that show up as on the Cloud on my iPad, but do not show on my laptop.

Further information:
These songs were uploaded from CD's back in '07, and deleted from my library several years (and a computer or two) ago. I have never signed up for iTunes Match.
I recently decided that I would like to listen to some of the songs again, but I can only get them on my iPad, not my laptop or iPod Touch. iPod Touch is older model (not compatible with iOS 7). Any suggestions?

If they were deleted from the computer and iTunes, the only way to listen to them again would be to insert the CD and listen to them from the CD or rip them from the CD again.

Hello, I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out. Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible. I have a Match subscription and Match is working. If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them. I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

I have songs that show up on my device, that come up grey with the dashed circle, and cannot be deleted.

I have songs that show up on my daughter's device, that come up grey with the dashed circle, and cannot be deleted.
I have tried:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
This has not helped.
All music is off the ipod.
When I connect to the computer to sync I still have songs that come up grey with the dashed circle.

You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

Can i restore songs that i've deleted from the cloud / match?

Hi Guys
I've stupidly managed to delete everything in the cloud from my itunes and i don't have them saved locally. I've managed to restore my purchases but is there anyway to restore my itunes match back to a previous point?
Please help!
Benj

I Am afraid that if they were not on your computer and you don't have a back up, you will have lost everything except for past purchases. Did you clear your trash?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

How do you delete songs from Itunes? I have many that show up as many as 7 times and itunes will not allow me to remove them.

I have tried to Hilight them and hit Control Delete nothing happens. I tried to just Delete one, but when you hit delete nothing happens.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Select the songs and go to Edit > Delete. Then, download the music in iTunes Store

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play. Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

The song that shows playing my ipod is not what is selected. Restore ipod or is it itunes?

How do I restore my ipod. The song that shows is playing is not playing. Or is that iTunes?

Hey slelli,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to restore the iPod. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

HT1725 What if I download music from my friends computer with his account and there's a song that shows up in my music library but I can't play it because it didn't finish downloading. What can I do to finish downloading it ?

You're right, it would have been covered under warranty. But because of the user damage, chances are there's a 200-something dollar fee . If you explain to them that it had a defect previously, they might replace it for you at no charge. **MIGHT**. But they would have to believe that it had a defect previously.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
