I want a SmartPlaylist that shows only songs I have downloaded from iCloud Match

is there a way to create a playlist on iTunes(desktop) that will show all the tracks that are locally stored on my computer??

Also the tracks I have downloaded from my cloud are obviously my favourite ones and therefore the ones I want to play most often - i realise i could create other playlists for this but the simplest way to do it would be to have a smart list of my local tracks.
I'll try not to be judgemental about your musical choices.
Seriously, though, your extra information is very helpful. I didn't completely understand what to do previously. So try this Smart Playlist:
All my music is "on my computer" so this, of course, doesn't exclude anything for me. But let us know if it works for you.

HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
Thanks

I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

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?

Is there a way for your backup to remember what songs you have downloaded with itunes match

i use itunes match, but i download the songs to my device as i have spotty service where i work and live.
i am upgrading to a larger size iphone and dont want to have to search through itunes match again and select all the songs i want to download again once i get the new phone. is there a way that itunes match will "remember" what song i have downloaded to my device and "re-download" them to the new device?
maybe via a playlist then just download the playlist? this seems like a lenghty way of doing it though.
anyhelp, tips or advice would be greatly appreciate. thanks

No.

Certain songs won't download from iCloud to ipad.

When I try to download certain songs from the iCloud that I've previously purchased they start downloading for a second and then stop. Why would this be?

Why can't I change song info for a song I have downloaded from i-tunes in i-tunes 11?

I bought it, it should be mine to change the name of it if I please. I like to keep single songs together in album made up of my creation and apple have taken that away from me.

I have the same problem. When I click "Get info", everything is grayed out and I'm unable to change track names, artist names, album names, or anything at all. I have iTunes Match if that matters.
What's going on?

You need your phone present in order to back it up, sorry.

Apps gets stuck when downloading from iCloud, shows as "waiting" but never downloaded

When I download an app already purchase from iCloud it gets stuck as waiting. It only happens with apps downloaded from iCloud as new apps download well.

Hi there Tincho27,
It sounds like new apps are downloading without issue, but apps that are already on your account seem to never get done Waiting. I would start by deleting any apps you have that are currently stuck:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
The apps will begin to jiggle.
Tap the X on the app.
Then sign out of the account in your Settings:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Then restart your iPhone and try downloading an purchased app again to test the issue:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Losing songs I have downloaded

I have been having trouble losing MP3 songs I have downloaded from Amazon. I will suddenly get an exclamation point before the song and it can not be found. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it from happening again? Can Some one help me please?

I had trouble with the Amazon downloader a few weeks back and had to reinstall it. Not quite the same problem as yours. Since it's just happening with songs from Amazon, it could be something with their downloader. Do you have it set to automatically add the songs to iTunes? The song files should still be on your hard drive, in any case.
If it's just a few songs with the problem, right-click > Get Info on the ones that have the ! and you can browse to where they are on the hard drive. If its quite a few songs, just add them back into itunes and delete the ones that show !

I have subscribed to itunes match. How do I get the songs from my iphone into my itunes library which only shows the songs I have purchased? Lots of the songs on my iphone were taken from CD's years ago which is why I thought itunes match would help.

Hi ozzie329,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
Then resync to your Nike.
Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

After I have deleted a file from my iphone, it still shows the song with a download button? Is there a way to get rid of this totally, so it doesn't show at all?

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

NONE of the web pages load properly. If I hit "Ctrl + F5" it will fix THAT PAGE ONLY. I have to do this to EVERY SINGLE page I try to load. This ONLY happens with FIREFOX. Internet Explorer works fine. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

I want a SmartPlaylist that shows only songs I have downloaded from iCloud Match
