Icloud music playing problem

If all my music on my iphone is in the cloud how do I make it easily and quickly available like when I want to do a shuffle and it only plays the few songs that have been downloaded?

You can't.
The iCloud icon available with a song means it hasn't been downloaded and the shuffle option will not automatically download songs.

  • IPod Touch 4G Music Playing Problem

    I have an iPod touch 4g and whenever I click on a song it either doesn't play or it skips to another song and plays that song. When I click the shuffle button for all songs it will go to a song and play that actual song or not play at all. I cannot play playlists or songs I have speciffically chosen I have tried restarting and shutting down but it still does the same thing. I had recently transferred purchases to itunes on another computer if that helps. Please leave suggestions on how to stop this!

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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 and resync all music
    - Restore from backup
    - 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 to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Homesharing music play problem but Airplay works!?

    I have a very strange problem. My setup is as follows, Airport Extreme, Apple TV2, Imac 27 (Source), Ipad (Remote app),Pioneer VSX 1020 receiver (Sound output)
    Using one of my IOs devices with the remote app to control the Apple TV2 directly and select music from my home shared library doesn´t give any sound output.
    Selecting in the remote app the library on the source (Imac) and play the same song from the library through Airplay does give sound !?
    Now when i put on my TV connected to my Pioneer receiver the direct Apple TV2 control of the home shared library suddenly gives sound ouput.
    This gives problems as nobody can´t use the source to play it´s own music when my TV is off.
    How to solve this ? 

    Just updated my Apple TV and it seems to have solved this problem.
    Strange thing is still when i switch my TV off and the Apple TV was playing content,it all stops.
    The Apple TV 2 seems to have intelligence build in that it can check through my receiver if the TV is still on or off.

  • ITunes music playing problems

    Hey I just downloaded and installed 7.1 iTunes and have played a few songs on it but now it won't play any songs at all. As I start up iTunes and when i play a song it says it playing but I cannot hear anything and the dial of the song indicator is not moving. If you can help I would really appreciate it.

    I have restarted my computer and turned off the extra sound settings.

  • Music playing problems

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help. I connect my iphone 4s to the stereo in my car via it's USB port. I have always just stuck the music on shuffle and as I was jumping in and out of the car throughout the day, plugged it back in and it picked up from where it left off and carried on shuffling through the songs. Since the upgrade to ios 7, it won't do this anymore. Whenever I connect my phone to the car, it picks a random point on the song list and runs through the songs alphabetically, which is getting really annoying when I forget to shuffle the songs again before I drive off.
    It will also revert back to the alphabetical list if I get a call while it's plugged in to the car. The car has voice control, so I don't need to pick the phone up to answer it by the way while I'm driving! But this interruption seems to knock it back to a random point on the song list and cancels the shuffle. It's only been doing this since the upgrade by the way too, which is getting really annoying!!
    Any help gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bex

    I have an older airport express. Airplay streaming has worked almost perfectly until recently. I also experienced multiple dropouts lately when listening to music - in my case streaming from my 5s. 
    Restarted router and express and it's still cutting out. Starting to think a regression may have been introduced by Apple in one of the recent updates to iOS.  In any event it's getting annoying.  Feels like l'm spending more time trouble shooting Apple stuff that used to always just work.
    I will fiddle around and report back later.

  • How do I stop icloud music from playing on my iPhone?

    Currently I have no music on my iPhone as I primarily use spotify. The only music is from iCloud, some of it I don't even remember downloading in the first place.
    How can I stop this from downloading to my iPhone? Also, when I press the pause with my headphones on Spotify my iTunes music plays. Hoping that if I get rid of it that won't happen anymore.
    Already checked:
    Settings>>Music (Show All Music set to only downloaded music to device shown, iTunes match not subscribed to)
    Settings >> iTunes & App Store (Music Auto Download is off, iTunes Match not subscribed to

    Hello RationalPuppet
    If you go to Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music that will prevent from seeing your downloaded music. I have also provided other articles for hiding purchases and even deleting purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.

  • I have Mac mini and I'm trying to listen to music through YouTube it works. But my problem is that instead of the music playing through the tv speakers it plays through the Mac box. ):

    Are you using HDMI or an Apple Airplay Module to go to the TV Speakers?
    If you are using an HDMI it's straight through output. The internal speakers are disabled.
    If you are using an Airplay Module:
    - Go on iTunes
    - Locate the Airplay icon that has a TV with an up arrow icon much like your iPhone has for Bluetooth
    - Click on that and Airplay to ModuleName

    If you double tap the home button, and then swipe your finger to the right, make sure you DO NOT have the Lock Orientation button enabled.
    You know it is disabled if there is no padlock in the middle of the icon.

  • When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes.  I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've oreviously purchased. What do I do?

    I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes.  I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've previously purchased. I know this isn't a matter of having tI many devices on one account because I only have my phone and now this laptop on it.   What do I do?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

    Does anyone know something about this?
    THANKS!

    Christine has the right answer for you.
    There are two different services in play here. iTunes in the a Cloud and iTunes Match. Neither one requires the other.
    iTunes in the Cloud is a service of the iTunes Store which allows you to re-download your past purchases. iTunes 11 integrates this service directly into the iTunes browser so you can see any past purchases not on your computer or not hidden in the purchase history. However, the option to see these purchases sometimes gets turned off in the prefs if the Internet connection is interrupted and you need to re-enable it.
