ICloud and iTunes match

Have an iPhone4 and iPad2 both with all latest updates. Also using iCloud and iTunes Match.
What is the best way to set these up? I don't need music on either device but noticed my entire iTunes library on both devices. I really don't need music on either device except what I choose for each. Noticed my phone close to needing more storage, so I tried to swipe and delete albums but nothing happened. I went to the music icon and deleted everything which showed no data. Then selected the music icon at bottom of phone and all the music is still there.
I also backed up the phone and iPad on iCloud but nothing shows on iCloud.
What is suggested? Should I back these up to iCloud or to themselves or even iTunes? ITunes Match allows access to iTunes library in ICloud but checking iCloud I don't see an iTunes library or iPhone in iCloud. Perhaps I don' need iTunes Match?
Need some guidance on the best way to set things up and what some of you have done. Also how do I delete the music on the phone with what I described earlier.
Thanks
Don

iCloud and itunes match are different services. iCloud really has no impact on iTunes match. When you set up itunes match, I assume your itunes music library was synced up to the match cloud. You other devices list all the music but don't have it physically on the device until you download it.
You might post over at the itunes match forum where users there are more knowledgeable than most here.

I have mulitple copies appearing on my ipad after using icloud and itunes match, how do I get only 1 copy to appear?

I am new to the Ipad, I just got the Ipad with retina display in and only have a 16gb memory. I wanted to use Icloud for my music and other items, but when I started using Icloud and Itunes match, my Ipad has up to 3 of the same song listed on the song list. and will repeat when I am listening to my music. I was wondering how I can get those multiple copies go away to just 1.

Music on iCloud and iTunes Match

I currently have both iCloud and itunes Match for all of my music files. Since I was traveling to a country with limited WiFi access, I decided to dowmload most of my music onto my iPad so I could access it...which exausted most of my storage capacity (64 GB). I would now like to reverse this process, removing my music from from my iPad capacity back to iCloud/Match...which made my music available but didn't use up my storage...HELP !

Hey C Speechly!
Here is a link that should be able to help you accomplish this:
iTunes Match - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Remove iPad from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices. In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.

Using iCloud and iTunes match, should I still wirelessly sync with my computer iTunes?

Using an iPhone 4 with the latest updates. I keep getting an error message syncing over my wireless network that says "Cannot sync phone. There are too many files open" from iTunes on my compter. Should I turn off the wireless syncing now that I'm using iCloud and iTunes Match?
There are 4 iPhones that are using this feature on our network, plus AppleTV 2.

Even though you have iTunes match and iCloud, there are several other types of media that aren't included in either of the services, such as movies, photos etc, if you aren't syncing any of these to your phones, then you may well be able to turn iTunes wifi sync off.
Personally, I would want to find the cause of the error message and use the iTunes sync for backup, I consider it far more reliable and convenient than iCloud for back up

ICloud and iTunes Match with different Apple IDs

I won't bore you with how it happened, but I ended up with two AppleID accounts using two different email addresses, one for iCloud (upgraded from MobileMe) and one for iTunes. I enabled iTunes Match before realizing this, and now my iPhone and iPad won't work with iTunes Match. If I change the iPhone/iPad to use the iTunes account, I don't have iCloud. Can I merge two accounts? Or is there a way to change my iTunes Match to the same account used for iCloud?
Help!

I tried doing this because I have the same problem, but I can't log in to iCloud with my regular apple ID. For some reason it needs to be an email address. Any other ideas?

I have 4 ipods 4th gen and want to know if one program to purchase through apple to share the music I've purchased on all of them. Is it the icloud AND itunes match?

I have 4 ipods all 4th gen and want to know if one program is available to purchase through apple to have all music I've purchased can be used on all of them. Is it a combo of both itunes match and icloud?

You don't need iTunes Match to have your music in all your devices. iTunes Match is for getting music that you've purchased elsewhere into the cloud. All you need to do is set up each of your devices to your iTunes Store account. You can then download things you've purchased by going to the Purchased section. See:

ICloud and iTunes Match forced me to create a new account?

I've always used one account to login and purchase from iTunes. It was just a username, DAVEINLA. With this recent migration of MobileMe to iCloud, I believe I have two logins. When migrating I tried using the daveinla account and it said that the account name should be your MobileMe e-mail address. It didn't seem to create any problems, until I turned on iTunes Match on my iPhone, it says I've not signed up for iTunes Match. I believe it's because I purchased iTunes match with my original DAVEINLA account.
So now I have:
iTunes Match on my DAVEINLA account
iCloud on my e-mail account
What do I do so I can use iTunes Match and iCloud on my phone?
Any help would be appreciated. I contacted support and they gave me a curt "you cannot merge two Apple ID accounts". Really? Then you shouldn't have forced me to create one with the mobileme to iCloud conversion!

Question about icloud and itunes match

when icloud comes out i know i can download all my purchased music on my apple id but i purchased most of my apps and music on an old apple id , my question is if i use itunes match are those apps and songs assosiated with my new apple id so when i backup from iCloud my old music and apps are there too. In pretty sure my music will work with itunes match but what about my apps?

Itunes match has not been release so it is hard to know.
Just sign into your old account and use icloud.

Iphone 5 very slow, how do I remove music? Im using the icloud and itunes match.

The phone locks up and restarts on its own now. Hard to navigate with it because its very slow.
Already did a backup and restored it from the backup. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Super Scout,
There are a few different reasons this could be happening, and it sounds like you're on the right track to isolating the issue. However, it would be very helpful to go one step further and Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support. This will completely wipe everything off the phone (including the iOS software itself) and install a fresh, clean copy of iOS, just in case there is a corrupt file in there giving you the trouble. After reinstalling iOS, set the phone up as a new iPhone temporarily to test the issue and see if it is still happening. If so, there may be a hardware issue with the device. Hopefully that isn't the case -- if the phone runs smoothly when set up as new then it means there was a corrupt file in the operating system or that there is something in your backup (possibly a third-party app) causing the issue. After testing the iPhone set up as new, go ahead and restore the phone from your backup and see if the issue comes back. If so, you may want to contact Apple Support to see if their diagnostic test helps narrow down which apps are contributing to the issue.
Good luck!

I the cloud and itunes match. Some songs have the "waiting" icon next to them but are unable to upload and instead of determing them ineligible itunes continues to try to upload that song and never gets to the rest of the list.

I have icloud and itunes match and most of my songs have been uploaded to the cloud. Some songs still have the "waiting" icon next to them and when I turn itunes match on they neither upload nor are they determined ineligible. My computer will literally spin its wheels for hours trying to upload the same song. Additionally, I uploaded an audiobook disc on my computer and 3 of the 11 tracks are still waiting to be uploaded???

The exclamation mark happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
If the missing files just can't be found then, assuming you are in region where you are permitted multiple downloads of your audio purchases, delete the current enties and download again from your purchased history.

Additional space on iCloud with iTunes match

Hello, do I have to buy additional iCloud space if I would use iTunes match, or my songs will not be in my original iCloud? (my iCloud space is 5 gigs, but my music collection is about 70 gigs). Thanks a lot !

No. iCloud and iTunes match are two different services. There is no limit except on number of songs you can have matched to iTunes match.

Icloud and Itunes duplications

I downloaded my purchased music on my iPhone and then later synced the iphone up to itunes. Now the music that I purchased is on my iphone 2 times though is only on itunes 1 time. This is only the music that I downloaded from the "cloud" that is duplicating. How do I remove the duplicates from my phone? This is driving me crazy, to be polite about it.

iCloud and itunes match are different services. iCloud really has no impact on iTunes match. When you set up itunes match, I assume your itunes music library was synced up to the match cloud. You other devices list all the music but don't have it physically on the device until you download it.
