Iphone4s automatically downloads songs from my cloud as i play them...it is consuming my phone memory

My iphone 4s is automatically downloading songs from my cloud as i play/listen to them. It is consuming my phone memory.
I am using Itunes Match with an approximate 12,000 song library. I have turned off automatic downloads in the settings but that didnt help.
Thanks for any suggestions..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's how it is supposed to work, just delete any songs, albums or artists you no longer want on your phone.

How to download songs from the cloud to my itunes library

I have already began the process of downloading songs from the cloud onto my itunes library. My internet decided to rest itself so once i reconnected to the internet I had to pause all downloads. I am now trying to finish the process of downloading the songs and itunes has been processing the file of 3 songs for the past hour. Is there anyway I can fix this?

I doubt the first generation ATV supports iCloud.
iCloud was introduced long after the first ATV and there have been no more updates for the first ATV.

When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected.
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected, check this link.

Might that new playlist be a smart playlist named something like "Recently Added"?
Yes, iTunes does create such a smart playlist and uses it to house recently downloaded songs.
If you want the songs to go to an existing playlist as well, set up the smart playlist to include rule(s) to include the latest additions.

Download songs from the cloud to my library

I stored my songs in the cloud from one computer to get them to another. Now these songs are stored in the library with an icloud status as "matched" and they cannot be played/moved/downloaded to anywhere else. How do I download them to my library so I can have access to them?
I've tried following instructions ie right click on a song and click download, but I don't have a download option when I right click??? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS LIFE!!!!

If the songs are not in your iTunes library, download them as indicated here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. Then sync them to your iPod.

Trouble downloading songs from the Cloud

Hi, I'm having trouble downloading songs onto my iPhone 4. My sister just bought a bunch of songs on her iPhone 4, and they showed up in my phone, but will not download. When I tried to go through iTunes to download them, instead of using the Cloud, they will not download and the message "Download error. Tap to retry." appears even though I've tried see real times. Is there anything I can do to download them?

Disk Utility has two things (at least my old version does), First Aid and Permissions. If your drive reports problems when verifying with FA then you have to boot from another drive to try to repair. Permissions can run on active boot disk. Run FA before Permissions.
On occasion I have had FA report problems when verifying on my active boot disk and I think it was because files were changing and it was seeing errors that weren't really there. I frequently verify my active drive (quit all applications) and have it report all-clear so usually I verify the active drive and only verify externally if I see an issue.
On the beachball issue, how long do you let it go before force quit? Some things just take a long time to process, and smartlists can be a pretty heavy demand in iTunes.

Can I download songs from my cloud to my iPhone, and play them on my iPhone later.

I have downloaded Itunes Match, and set it up on my Mac, Iphone, and Ipad. It removed all the songs from my Iphone and Ipad. I works fine as long as I am at a wifi hotspot, but when I am driving I do not want to use up my cellular data to stream music. Can I download certain songs to my Iphone and Ipad like in a playlist.

Yes. Connect the iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you don't have iTunes installed then you can download it from here), and there should be a series of tabs on the right-hand side, one of which is Music - select that tab and you can then select which of your music to sync to the phone.

I have a downloaded song from iTunes that won't play on my computer.

I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone 5. I've synced it with my computer. My iTunes won't let it play and gives me a message saying the my computer isn't authorzied to play the song. When I put my info it, it says that my computer is already authorized but still won't play it. It also won't play on my iPhone.

The trick of deleting the song to the Recycle Bin, dragging it to the Desktop and then back into iTunes worked. My guess is that because our computer was not authorized at the time of the purchase (this was our first purchase from the iTunes Store), the original file downloaded in a protected format. The computer has since been authorized, so the Recycle Bin ruse tricks iTunes into thinking it's a new file. I would still like to hear a confirmation of this from someone who knows though. Also, Apple should tell people to authorize their computers before making any purchases. It will save some confusion it seems.
Thanks for the tip.

Why do I get the beach ball, and other weird behavior, while downloading songs from the cloud?

I created a smart playlist to filter out my matched and purchased songs that were less than 256kbps. I then "select all" (or do them in small chunks this way) and delete the tracks, move them to trash (not from icloud) and then select all again and download the better quality versions.
Many, many times it runs fine for a bunch of tracks and then all of a sudden it locks up with the beachball.
I've had to re-start my mac a few times. Three times I've had it treat me like this was the first time I've opened itunes. Had to accept the licensing agreement and re-start itunes match. Other times it did not make me do this all over again.
Based on stuff I read on the boards I tried deleting the itunes preference file in my user library. Hasn't stopped the beach ball.
I don't understand why it runs for a bunch of tracks and then just locks up.
Maybe I'm not removing all of the plist files I should but I thought so.
Any advice?
Thanks.

When syncing my iphone4, some downloaded songs from iTunes cannot be removed. Not all but a few. They do not even show in the general music library at all but will not go away fom the iPhone. I even deleted the playlist it was syncing from and those few.

When I sync my iphone4 to my pc some iTunes music downloaded direct to the phone cannot be removed. They do not show in the music library or any playlist and they do not show on the pc even if you use a search by name. Any help is appreciated

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Ipad mini does not download songs from itunes cloud

Trying to download my purchased song content down to a new ipad mini. Tried to do this in itunes on a sync and also through apple store by hitting icloud content - both all songs and individual songs. Appears to be downloading but does not show up in my music to play. I tried re-boot and factory re-set. No joy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I have chased several other threads on this topic - I am not alone with this issue. I have done multiple device re-boots and factory resets. Is this a fatal flaw in the music software? All other aspects, apps etc are fine. Songs downloaded on my macbook air, ipod and iphone all OK
Check out these threads - no solutions for anyone other than someone who took their device to the store

Can't delete songs from ipad and cant even play them

I deleted all the music from my ipad by going in general menu, there it is showing zero music files. but i can see songs in music folder, and they cannot be played but are visible , how to delete?

This may be OBE long ago, but for anyone still having problems...if the "swipe" does not work try this -
After selecting "music"
(1) select "Playlists" on the bottom of the iPad display;
(2) select "purchased" (this will list a boat load of songs);
(3) select "Edit" - its at the top of the left-most column ...this will create a "red circle" with a "minus sign" inside to the left of each song (this will allow you to delete songs)
(4) scroll through the list for the items you want to delete (it will list the data with three columns - song title - artist - album name);
(5) select the red circle/minus sign for the song you want to delete/remove - a red rectangle labled "Remove" should appear on the far right in the same row as the song
(6) select "Remove"
Its tedious but if the "swipe doesn't work" hopefully this will.

I purchased an album from amazon, how can i download it from Amazon cloud to my itunes on my iphone

I purchased an album from Amazon on my iPhone last night. The album is in Amazon Cloud and I have downloaded it to my device. The album, however, does not show up in my iTunes on my phone, I can only see it if I go into Amazon Cloud Player app. Is there a way I can transfer those songs from Amazon Cloud Player to my iTunes music app on my phone?

You can get the Amazon app for your iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
However, this will not add the music to your iTunes library. You will need to use it for your Amazon music and the iPhone built in Music app for your iTunes music.
