ICloud music

Why can't I access my music in iCloud when I am not on WiFi? It asked me to download the music, won't this take up memory on the iPhone?

To access your music using your cellular data plan when not connected to wifi, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and set Use Cellular Data to On.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

How do I access my icloud music in airplane mode?

How do I access my iCloud music in airplane mode?

How do I access my iCloud music in airplane mode?
You cannot. Airplane mode disables all communications.
Download a few songs to your device before you enable airplane mode.

HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

Can't add to playlists - "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library" If you continue, playlist will be removed from iCloud and only be available on this computer

I have just tried to add a track to an existing playlist - and get the following message - "iCloud playlists canonly contain songs from your iCloud music library" If you continue, playlist will be removed from iCloud andonly be available on this computer". I have tried dragging and dropping, right clicking and adding and pressing the little arrow to add to playlist and all tell me that I cannot do this. What's that all about? I am not signed up to iTunes match and I wasn't aware that iCloud held music libraries?? Someone please help. Thanks SM

I am really surprised that no one has been able to help me with this... Anyhow, I have still got the propblem - although I am definitely NOT using Match. I have been adding to existing play,ist by removing it from icloud (dunno how - but it's an option offered when trying to add to playlist).. Now when I sync iphone that's fine - playlists are good - but when syncing ipad 3 - Nope it's not having it. What to do?

How do I download all of my icloud music to my ipad? I don't always have a wifi connection and would like to store these files directly on my device.

I know it defeats the purpose of the iCloud, but I would like to have some (if not all) of my iCloud music available on my iPad. I'm not always able to get a wifi signal and it would be nice to have these files actually on my iOS device. Is there a setting to download everything?

When you say "iCloud music" do you mean iTunes Match or iTunes purchases in the cloud?
I'd start with this article to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Either way, there is a cloud picture with a download arrow inside it-click on it and it downloads to your device

How I can hide the iCloud music library in iTunes?

How I can hide the iCloud music library in iTunes? I want to see only my local music library.

If you go into edit and click preferences there is a checkbox in the "store" tab that says "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" if you uncheck that it will show only the local content.

ICloud music storage will it save memory on my phone?

My music takes up 8 g of memory. Will iCloud music save me memory on iphone5?

It would allow you to more easily access your music and download what you wish to have on it (without the need to synch to itunes). Whether it saves you storage would depend on how you use it, but potentially, yes.

Getting rid of icloud music (not just hiding it)

so, I just bought a new car with Bluetooth music capabilities. I was very excited to have a small selection of music to be able to select from, and I actually added music to my phone for the first time. My issue, is that on the car's screen, I am seeing all the music I had purchased from icloud previously. I would like to remove these, but I cannot figure out how. These songs showing up are not on my phone, and are not on my itunes library.
what I have tried:
i have done everything I can to hide t he music. I've switched the selection on iTunes and AppStore to not show all music. When I look at my library on the phone, it only has what I had added. The things NOT on the phone are still showing in my car.
i went onto iTunes on my computer, and clicked on the little x to hide all the things that had been purchased. This works on the iTunes Store, but the items still appear when pairing the phone to the car.
the one thing I haven't done yet is sign out from iTunes on the phone, which I have read works. I feel there should be a better way to do it though. it seems this would only be a temporary solution, because as soon as I sign in again, the music would come back.
If anyone has a way to get rid of this music, it would be very much appreciated.

I don't claim bigger insight into how apples servers work but if I were to make iCloud music then rather then having a copy of each music number to give people who buy it and then store the very same data for every single one of users who bought it then I would keep the data 1 place and handle iCloud music streaming by controlling who could access the 1 place the music file was stored if that was the case then if you deleted it it would be gone for everybody forever

How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app with effecting icloud music?

My music was taking up too much space so I joined itunes match, but the 6 gigs of my music is still on my ipad. How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app without affecting icloud music? I clicked to replace all music with icloud music. They both appear in Music and I don't see anywhere to remove all downloaded music. If I delete all music, I fear it will delete all music in iCloud. I assumed by joining iTunes Match that I would get the 6 gigs back for other items since my music should be on iCloud now. If that is not the case then I need to get my $ back for Match.

Removing music from an iOS device does not remove it from the cloud.
Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.

How do i get music into my Icloud music library?

I have iTunes match and I was creating a new playlist. I tried to add an album we a message appeared saying " Icloud playlist can only contain songs from your Icloud music library." How do I get that album in my Icloud music library and accessible in an Icloud playlist?

Hi,
Make sure that your iTunes library on your computer has added the tracks to match. Add icloud status to song view, this will tell you if they have been matched or uploaded. Your playlist should not include ineligible items such as PDFs

How do I remove iCloud music function from iPhone?

How do I remove iCloud music function from iPhone?

Thanks, operative word here is hide.
iTunes wants to keep music on the iPhone even after you want to clear it out and start over. I wish they had a "flush" function. At present after wiping it basically clean, down to one album, then checking the fill option, iTunes fills up the iphone with the same albums I just got rid of... I have a huge selection in my library to choose from. But it keeps returning to the same albums even though I have not checked them or artist. Frustrating.

Can't see my iCloud music in iTunes in my MacBook like i did before

Hi, i wanna ask if someone have the same problem as me.
A couple of days ago all my iCloud music is just gone from my MacBook, i turned off and on several times itunes match in itunes but it didn'd work, i re installed the OS X and itunes separately and it didn't help, y just can't see my music in the macbook, i have it in the iphone and other pc and it works, i don't know if it's a problem with my apple id or somethings but y just don'r know what else to do, i called yesterday to apple support and they couldn't help me either.
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.
