I purchased itunes match to free up 6gigs of music on my iphone. Can I delete my library to free up all that space?

I purchased iTunes Match to transfer all 6gigs of music from my storage to icloud.
The download is complete and all music has been transferred to icloud but on my iPhone I'm still using the 6gigs which defeats the whole purpose.
Question: can I delete the music on my iphone and if yes, how do I then use the icloud to access my music via iphone??
Thank you,
FT

Yes! It's very simple.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Usage, and under the Storage area, find Music. You may have to tap Show all Apps. Tap on it, then hit Edit, and then delete the data. This will delete all songs from your iPhone.
Then go to Settings > Music and turn ON iTunes Match. Go into the Music app, and all your songs will appear, ready to play/download, and you will have freed up 6 GB.
Enjoy!

My itunes will not sync any of my music onto my iphone 4s. It also has this huge "other" category that is about 4 gb long. How can I get my music to sync back onto my iPhone?

I just want to figure out how I can resync all of my music back onto my iphone using itunes.

Texas Mac Man post (2/10/2012) on "Other" data on iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19861751
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20053939 - "If it is much more than a gb or so, then it indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve." "If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20054011

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

I purchased iTunes Match and when applying it to my iPhone, it erased all my music. I still have the library on my ipad2, how do I get it back on the iphone and share it on the cloud?

I purchase iTunes Match. When I applied it to my iphone5, it erased my music library. Even when I restored my backup, the library was not there. I still have all of the music on my ipad2. I thought that iTunes Match would allow me to put my library of music on the new MacBook I purchased last week. What did I do wrong and how do I get the music onto my MacBook and back onto my iphone?

For iTunes Match to work, your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer.

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.

Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.

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.

If i purchase itunes match will it come out of my itunes account if i have available money or will it come out my bank account?

Interesting - I just installed match and my balance disappeared. It asks for, and I entered, I credit card. It makes no mention of clearing out your redeemed balance of itunes gift cards. This should be made much clearer. Now I will have to check with my credit card company to ensure only the balance of what was not covered by my itunes gift card balance was charged for match - not the full amount on my credit card as the forms make you believe will occur.

Hi mdr1976,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.
See these articles for more information about Home Sharing:

- Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring. For recovery mode:

Figured it out. Must sign out from Itunes and then back in and it works.

How to purchase iTunes match with store $ balance?

I want to purchase iTunes match, and I have big positive balance in my account. The only options to purchase are either credit card or rediming a new gift card. I don't want to use these options, I want to use the credit I have in the store. Anyone knows how to do that?

Note: You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.

How to Purchase iTunes Match

I'd like to purchase "iTunes Match" with the $25 gift card that I previously
purchased. However, it requires me to register and pay with credit cards.
What can I do to get "iTunes Match" with the $25 credit that I already have without paying with credit cards?
