If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

I want to remove my credit card from my daughter's itunes account but i can't delete the information without getting a notification that i must have the fields filled out

I want to remove my credit card from my daughter's itunes account but i can't delete the information without getting a notification that i must have the fields filled out. When she first got the ipod touch, we did not need to supply credit card information for her to set up her account. Only now that I entered it for one purchase, I can't remove it. Now my daughter has purchased over $300 in downloads the last two weeks.

You definitely can.
To remove your payment information open iTunes and go into your account. An easy way to access your account is from quick links on the store home page. After you login there will be a payment type listed with an edit button next to it. Click edit then select none under card type (next to visa, mastercard, etc).
Afterwards at the bottom of the page select done, then your card will no longer be on file. It will prompt you for a card next time you try to download something that isn't free.

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

Why did the playlist time format change in iTunes 10.6? Can I get the old format back?

My iTunes playlists used to give a precise total play time. Now that I downloaded the new version of iTunes, the playlist just estimates the time. So, "1 hour" could mean 1 hour and 2 or 3 or 4 minutes. That is a big problem for people who teach 60-minute fitness classes! I plan my class around that playlist, and 3 or 4 minutes is a big deal. Now I am having to add up the time of songs by hand. What a pain! Is there any way to get back the old format of time, which estimated exactly "59 minutes" or I think it was more precise, like "00:59:12." I need this format back. The estimate of "1.1 hours" is killing me.

Hello. When I go to "About iTunes," it says "10" but then "10.6 (40)" underneath, in fine print.
Actually, "40.3" minutes is different from the previous format. It used to give the time in hh:mm:ss. This is an image of my problem:
Now that the time is given in decimals, there are some minutes unaccounted for. I have a playlist that is 58 minutes (I added it on a calculator), but iTunes tells me it's 1 hour. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but it matters when you have a 60 minute class and you are guided by your playlist.

Don't have ITunes Match but I can't delete downloaded songs

So I DO NOT have iTunes Match however my music app had iCloud songs that I could download since some were not on my iPhone. I didn't want any of them but accidentally downloaded a few and now I can't get rid of them by swiping left in the app. I turned off show all music so I wouldn't download anymore. Also I thought I could delete them from my library on my computer but they don't show up. I'm running iOS 7 if that helps at all. Thanks

You are probably thinking about Apple's USB Power Adapter Takeback Program.
It ended October 2013, and they weren't free anyway.

I successfully added a new computer to itunes match, but I can't import the library from this computer: itunes match still wants me to pay ! What can I do ?

Hi,
Everything is in the title... I just "successfully" added my old PC to itunes match in order to listen to my old library on my mac, but itunes won't associate my music to anything : when I go to itunes match in itunes, all I can do is pay... And I'm already paying, and itunes just told me that this was the second computer (out of 5) that I had added...
So I don't know what to do...
I tried to close itunes and open it again, tryed to activate itunes match again, but nothing works...
I also restarted the computer... Still won't work...
Any ideas ?
Thank you !!!!!
Yohann.

You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

I received an e-mail with a hyperlink to a country and western song. I deleted the e-mail but the song still plays everytime I turn on my mail box. How can i delete the music ?

I tried clearing the history and turning off the computer, which is an i-mac.
With Firefox turned off I started my itunes and played some of my library music. When I turned on Firefox mail the country and western song came right back.

I get those all the time. Most annoying. I usually ignore them or mark them as spam.

I have 20 GB of music stored on my Macbook Air (2011) and only 7GB in my iTunes library? How can I delete the extra music without deleting any of my 7GB in my iTunes Library?

I have no idea how to go through my folders and delete all this extra music without deleting whatever the 7GB is in my iTunes!
Please help!
Thanks!

If you use iTunes' default preferences settings, anything in your collection will be in your iTunes Media folder. When you add a track to iTunes it places a copy in the iTunes folder but leaves the original where you downloaded it. The exceptions are if you use the Automatically Add To iTunes folder it does move it, or you drag items to iTunes while holding down the option key in which case it uses the copy wherever it is.
As for where the other files are, you will have to look on your computer. Use Spotlight to search for .mp3 .mp4 or whatever file formats you have. If they aren't in the iTunes folder and iTunes lists them as being in the library then likely they are the original files which you can delete.
You will have to do some careful checking that whatever you delete is not the file actually used by iTunes. If you have a flash drive or another drive for temporary storage i would stick the extra files there and then if something breaks you can restore them

When cd jewel song list is printed from play list in Itunes, the list is compressed and unable to read.No problem before lates software change. How do I fix this ?

When song list is printed from play list in Itunes for inserting into CD jewel case, the song list is compressed and is indecipherable. Did not have this problem prior to latest software change.How can I fix this ?

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

Can I delete the files/folders in 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup'?

Hi!
I have just tried to backup and update my iphone to iOS 5.1. The backup seems to have worked but when it came to restoring the iphone, I think the hard disk ran out of space and so it failed. I saw this and so I freed up around 3Gb of disk space and I tried it again. It again failed. Again I noticed that there was no space left on the hard disk. I assumed that to continue the restore it probably won't need that much more space (as it had already done most of the work) so I freed up a few more Gb.
Again it failed. When it fails, itunes leaves the partially restored elements on my hard disk meaning that my 'Apple Computer' folder is now 28Gb!! I cannot afford to delete anything else from the hard disk. I am using a PC by the way. I have noticed that in the folder 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' has 5 folders in it which is the same amount that I tried to restore the iphone (before the last restore attempt there were 4 folders). These folders amount to 20Gb. From this I am assuming that the actual backup that I made is infact in 'Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups'.
Can I delete the folders in 'MobileSync\Backup'? This would free up 20Gb of disk space giving me enough to properly restore (in theory!).
Thanks for your time!!
Nick

your advice worked for me and saved me what ever evil lurked behind my thought to just delete the backup and get back my very lmited space on my 250GB Mackbook Pro using daisydisk pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daisydisk/id411643860?mt=12
Why DaisyDisk?
DaisyDisk remains the tool of choice for film makers (including companies like Pixar), digital artists, IT professionals and hundreds of thousands of Mac users worldwide when it comes to disk space management. Constantly improving since its initial introduction, the app easily blows away competition in terms of speed, efficiency and user experience.

Delete iOS backups this way: iTunes>Preferences>Devices...select the backup/backups...hit delete. Do not mess with your backup folder.

If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

Thank you
I realize they are separate
I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do make a cd case cover or list of songs?

I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

beggsc54, There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

Hi, I purchased itunes match in order to convert the previously purchased songs that reflected copyright and would not copy to other device. Ran itunes match however, I can not find a way to obtain my 62 matched songs to place on hard drive to copy.

Donna,
You have to delete the DRM copies from your library first.

Yes, you certainly can. You just tap the iCloud download button to download the tracks.
