ITunes music on iCloud and also in library
I have recently moved my iTunes Library from a PC to a Mac mini. I did this via PC to external HDD to my Mac mini. I reformated the external HDD to work only with my Mac and copied my iTunes Library back to the external HDD. I then showed iTunes where to find my Library. Now I see all my music and movies with the iCloud icon. Do I have to redownload my entire iTunes Library from iCloud? I want iTunes to show all of my music and movies on the external HDD, but also have them available in iCloud for iTunes Radio and to play from my iPad or iPhone where ever I have an Internet connection. Do I have to simply turn off iTunes Match and turn it on again?
Thank you.
Hey C Speechly!
Here is a link that should be able to help you accomplish this:
iTunes Match - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Remove iPad from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices. In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.

Dear Apple Users. I have my ITunes on a PC and also have an IPAD and IPHONE. When I purchase music on my ITunes its appears on my IPAD when I sync. However it is not appearing on my IPHONE when I sync. Any ideas or thoughts greatfully accepted. S
Check the music tab on the iPhones iTunes page, and make sure "sync all music" is checked. If you chose only to sync certain music, new music will not automatically show up.

I was billed for iTunes Match and I was not aware and would like to cancel it and get a refund for it. I don't store my music in iCloud and still have 4.5 gig of my 5 gig free. Please advise
Go here:

and follow the instructions to contact the iTunes Store and make your request.

i want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?
Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like. -
uploaded music to iCloud and it broke up my albums, I now have the same albums in different location with 2 or 3 songs on each one, can I make them whole albums again and how do I keep it from happening again?

I can't download songs from my account because I now live in Mexico. How do I get my music from Icloud and down load new ones to my computer?
Hi gene98,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.
Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account

Can i store music in iCloud and still listen to it
can i store music in iCloud and still listen to it?
Hi ken511,
I see that you desire to have a way to store your music in the cloud and be able to play it remotely on multiple devices. There is such a feature, and it is called iTunes Match:
Apple - iTunes - iTunes Match
https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I have all my music on iCloud, and it works beautifully with all my apple product. However, with my iPhone 4, the Cloud will show up but but not download any music. I have already updated all the software. Any suggestions?
Robert...
the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
See if you can change your password > Apple - My Apple ID
If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer.
If that that doesn't help...
Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
See if you can access your account at iCloud.com -

Problem in using 2 IDs for iTunes music purchase downloads and using iTunes Match for 1 ID
Dear support managers,
We are using 1 macbook pro and 2 apple ID for purchasing iTunes music together (Me and my wife).
Actually, I have bought 1 year service of iTunes match on my apple ID and have been using well the service after download the purchased musics under the apple ID I am using.
But once my wife associated the macbook pro with her apple ID to download the musics she purchased,
I have not been able to use the iTunes Match service I have subscribed already.
The message said
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days"
I can neither purchase another computer for solving this situation nor want to purchase another iTunes Match service on my wife's apple ID.
Please help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks and best regards,Hi,
You can only use one Apple ID with iTunes match. Purchasing another match subscription using wife's Apple ID is not a solution. I can only suggest that you use your ID for match and all iTunes music purchases.

I have already downloaded wrath of the titans and watched it through but a download of the movie in the iTunes store still remains and also keeps timing out? This is preventing me from downloading any other movies onto my iPad any suggestions?
no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

I had to reload iTunes onto my computer and reload my library. I'm afraid i'll lose everything on my phone if I do a proper sync
Not sure what you did to "reload your library", but you should copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. If this is not possible, follow the steps in this article to minimize/prevent data loss: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

My iPod Touch is frozen on the iTunes music note logo and the USB plug picture. Tried resetting - didn't work. Tried restoring - didn't work. Any ideas besides throwing it out my window?
Does the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps of restoring the iPod? If yes then:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
