Itunes keeps downloading from the cloud items that are already downloaded

I am finding that itunes will download music or videos that I have already purchased and downloaded again within a short period of time of the purchase. How can I change that? I don't like have double as it uses up disk space.

You show as using a PPC iMac G5 running Tiger 10.4.11! No way can that connect to iCloud!
So, what Mac do you actually have and what version of OS X?

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • Recently got a new computer and downloaded iTunes.  All of my music has downloaded from the cloud witht the exception of one song.  I have tried transferring from my phone, but it won't work.  How do I get it back without having to download again?

  • How do I download an app I previously had on an older device, not utilizing my cloud or itunes backup. I want to download the app as if it were the first time. Right now it's only giving me the option to download from the cloud when I go to the app store.

    How do I download an app I previously had on an older device, not utilizing my cloud or itunes backup. I want to download the app as new as if I had never had it before. When I go to the app store, it only gives me the option of downloading from the cloud with the cloud icon?

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

  • I have songs that have been purchased and they show up in my I tunes but the are not showing up bold like all other songs in my library, they will not let me download from the cloud and will not load onto my ipod.

    I have a handfull of songs in my library that are not showing up bold like the other songs. When I click the icon to download from the cloud nothing happens and they will not load onto my ipod. When I look for them in the purchased area they show up as purchased and downloaded.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

  • Any way to create a smart playlist on iOS of songs that have been downloaded from the cloud?

    Of my 72gb library it's hard to remember what has been downloaded from the cloud to my iPhone.  It would be great if there was a way to have my tracks be dumped into some sort of playlist to easily access what has been downloaded.  Anyone know of way to do this?  Or recommendations on an easier way to keep track of downloaded tracks?

    These all work fine on my mac but again, I was wanting the smart playlist on my iphone.  I could download songs from the cloud on my mac (which wouldnt make sense anyways since it's where my entire library is) but this defeats the whole purpose of accessing my music through my phone and icloud and not having to sync or make playlists on my mac.
    Let me ask you guys this, every time you want to listen to something on your iOS device, do you wait for it download?  Do you remember everyhting you've downloaded and only listen to those tracks?  What's your method for listening to music on your device?
    Really dissapointed in Match....it's basically a back up service.

  • HT4914 can I still have my entire itunes library on a device or do i have to download from the cloud

    Can I still have all my music on my ipod touch device or do I have to download from the cloud?
    Also if I can only have it on the cloud how do I get the music whe I don't have a wifi connection?

    What??  You asked how to get all your music on your phone at once rather than downloading it to your phone from iCloud.
    Go to your purchased list in iTunes and download all your music to your iTunes library, as explained in the linked article.  Then sync it all to your phone using iTunes you're done.  The music will be stored locally on your phone and you won't have to download it again in the future.

  • How can I delete apps on my cloud?  My kids added a bunch we do not need.  When i go to puchased apps, there is no option to delete, just the option download from the cloud.

    You can't.  Items on the "cloud" are just a visual representation of your purchase history.    You can never delete them, as Apple uses this list to determine what Apps you have access to for free should you ever need to re-download them.
    You can hide Apps from that list trough iTunes on a computer though.

    However, Apps do not take up space in your iCloud so no real need to delete them.

  • HT204406 I tuned on IMatch, hated it, so turned it off. I want to get all my music back from the Cloud so that it sits locally on my hard drive. How do I do that?

    Hello Tina,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you would like to download your songs from iTunes Match.  You can do this by turning iTunes Match back on and clicking the cloud icon with the downward facing arrow next to the songs that you would like to download to your computer:
    Available for Download
    This icon appears when a song is available in iCloud and hasn't been downloaded to your local library.

  • Do i have to download from the cloud?

    do i have to download from the cloud? it is taking a very long time!!!!

    It sounds like you might want to just turn iTunes Match off on your iPad and sync the old-fashioned way from your iTunes library. That way, you can just choose what music you want and not have to redownload everything. You can always turn iTunes Match back on later if you choose to.
    Now the other benefit of iTunes Match is that it upgrades your tracks to 256 Kbps. If you're keen on having those higher quality tracks to listen to on your iPad (remember, they're also larger files), you can upgrade them in your iTunes library. Once you've run Match and it's finished its work, you can delete your songs (in iTunes on your computer) and Match will let you redownload them at the higher quality. Just be sure to have a current backup before doing this, just in case, and also note that some tracks might not be able to matched. Be careful not to delete those. You can sort your songs by Kind to weed those out.

  • How do i get my pics to download from the cloud after resetting my phone?

    How do i get my pics to download from the cloud after having to reset the phone?  I have 1000 pics and only 90 of them came back.

    If these are photo stream photos, what you may not know is that photo stream only keeps photos in photo stream for 30 days, even though they will remain on your devices (up to 1000) photos until your delete them.  The 90 photos that were still there are probably the ones added in the last 30 days.
    Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup.  If the missing photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.  If they weren't in your camera roll there is no way to recover them.

  • How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again on my iphone5s

    How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

    Your apps are not stored in your icloud account.  You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly.  Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

  • How do I delete downloads from the cloud?

    OK - I'm interrested in uploading to the cloud, not downloading from the cloud. I downloaded some purchased songs, but there seems to be no way to delet them from my phone. No swiping, or deleting from itunes, or new playlist formed. Anyone have any help on this?

    If you sync by selected playlists, remove the song from the playlist.  That does not remove it from your music library.  The "Purchased" playlist is just a smart playlist showing the songs in your music library that you purchased (as opposed to ripping from a CD or downloading from the internet).
    Playlists shown in the "Music" pane for your phone in iTunes are not a subset of "Purchased", just because they are listed underneath Purchased.
