Icloud wont let me keep selected song on my phone, only at random. How can I change that?

So basically I want selected songs to stay on my ipod, not have them on my phone at random. Is there any way to select genres/playlist, etc. to stay on my ipod. I dont always have connection to 3g or wifi. This is driving me nuts! I like icloud for everything EXCEPT this

If you're using iTunes Match, you can download an entire Artist or Playlist by selecing it, the tapping the download symbol (cloud with downward point arrow).  It appears at the top for an artist, and the bottom for a playlist.
Or, you can turn off iTunes Match on your device, sync the music to it using iTunes, then turn iTunes Match Back on.

  • My ipad iCloud mail continually freezes ALL of my email when I get spam. How can I change that?

    After the latest update, my ipad iCloud mail freezes when I get spam. It freezes all email. I have to go to PC, and erase the mail before I can use it again. So far I haven't found any settings on ipad or iCloud on the PC to limit what email I receive.
    The spam messages cannot just be trashed from ipad.
    There's got to be a way to stop the spam!
    Thanks, Kathyellen

  • My 5600 keeps defaulting to the fax first instead of the printer only how can i change that ?

    my 5600    keeps defaulting to the fax first instead of the printer only how can i change that ? 

    What operating system?
    In general you would go to the Printers (or Devices and Printers or Printers and Faxes) folder, right click on the 5600 and select Set as Default.  Depending on your operating system you may need to do this as an administrative user.

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

  • While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

    While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings.  This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

    I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue.  I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
    The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off.  I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Then, test it out again.  Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

  • I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

    I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

    The only ways I know of for email to get sent to an account are:
    1. It was addressed to that account. Someone used that email address to send you the email.
    2. It was forwarded to that account by the account to which it had been addressed. I am not aware of Mail having this feature but it is often a feature provided by your ISP that you can turn on by logging into your account via the Internet and setting it up.  I assume you have not done this, though.
    With several email addresses in the same Mail client, you have to be careful which one you are sending from. If you send from the wrong address, any replies will come back to that same address. I make this mistake all too often.

  • HT5552 I want to make a purchase with my credit card but it keeps taking it out of my account on the gift card I put in there. How can i change that?

    I want to make a purchase with my charge card. But each time I buy a song it takes it immediately off of the credit I have in my account from a gift card. How can I change it to charge me for a purchase instead of taking it out of the credit I have in there?

    You don't change it.
    It will use any account balance first, once it is gone, then it will go to your credit card.

    I bought a ipod 5th gen 32gig off a road side peddler for $175. It was working when I bought it.

I do not have his info and I do not know how to get in touch with him I have had third gen ipods and never had any problums like this before Help!!!

    Either get the Apple ID and password from him to activate the iPod
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    or have him remote remove the device from his account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    or return it for a refund.
    Otherwise you have an expensive, thin brick

  • I have several questions. First one, how can I change the email address on my icloud to match my itunes?, I have several questions. First one, how can I change the email address on my icloud to match my itunes?

    The email address I have now is not the email I had when I set up my icloud and now I can't update the new email address on my iphone, can someone help me?
    Second question, I didn't know that everyone in the house had to have a separate itunes account so now my oldest information is on my iphone now, not mine.  I have lost all my contacts, notes and everything and all the information from my oldest is now on the icloud not mine.  How do I get my information back on my iphone?

    If you need to change the primary email address associated with your iCloud Apple ID, see "How to change you Apple ID and primary email address" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68.  If you change the name of your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your new credentials.  Deleting the account will only delete the account and your synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, you data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you have any photo stream photos on your phone that are over 30 days old, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
    On your second question, did you change iCloud accounts and lose all your data?  If so, is your data still in the original account when you sign into it and check from a computer?

  • When I import a CD album that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once with all of the songs with the main artist only, and then one album for each song with a different co-artist.  How can I avoid that or fix that result after the fact.

    When I import a CD ablum that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once under the album name with all the songs from the main artist; then each song with a different co-artist is saved separately under the album title with just that song.  Who do I prevent that or fix it after the fact, i.e., copy the single songs to the main album?

    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
