Music I never downloaded appearing

This is making me really mad. I just synced my iPhone this morning, and after syncing it, it said I purchased all these U2 songs? I never purchased them (it says I didn't in my purchase history). It's a newly released album of theirs, and it's appearing in my "recently added" and I can't get rid of them or delete the songs because they're in the cloud now. It's really irritating me and I want them gone, as I never downloaded them. I don't want a quick fix like "hide all music" in my settings because I do not want the songs. Can someone help me out here?

Nope. We've all got the new U2 album available to us whether we wanted it or not. You don't have to download it and you then won't see it if you disable Show All Music. But if you want Show All Music on I don't think there's a way to hide that specific album.
The joke going round on social media this morning is that the new iPhone will be slightly more expensive if you don't want the U2 album.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

I have my new music which i downloaded in my itunes library but when i go to move it to my iphone music folder it wont move and a red circle appears?

Drag and drop only works if "Manually manage music" is selected on the summary tab in iTunes.
Instead, use the Music tab and playlists to manage what content is on the device as described in the User's Guide.

After choosing my device the "add music" button does not appear. I just downloaded ITunes 11. Any suggestions?

ITunes 11 merges my libraries and imports "cloud" music that I never downloaded or searched for?

I have over 600 albums. I created and manage four separate libraries to help me sort my music in top-level ways that iTunes just doesn't allow (example, one library is just for streams that I have ripped, and omg, live recordings. Who does that anymore?) Now that I'm in iTunes 11, the user interface is mixing them all together in the same display! This totally defeats my preference of browsing libraries by my custom sorting. No use with the "genre" tags- iTunes never tagged half this stuff correctly to begin with, so this sort option is useless 50% of the time anyway. What am I supposed to do, go through 600 albums and retag each one individually? FRUSTRATING!
Furthermore, there are new files that seem to have come off "the cloud" that I NEVER DOWNLOADED and these files/songs are littered everywhere across my libraries like little mouse droppings.
How much time do I have to waste on my part to reverse-engineer this? I'm looking through all these discussions, and the "solutions" people have for these iTunes "workarounds" are getting worse than similar "workarounds" for Windows problems!!
Should I revert to iTunes 10?
Should I just dump iTunes entirely? (Believe me I've been thinking about it. All my music is stored separately in original format files. I have never trusted iTunes to manage my music, I only use it for the interface.)
Advice? Please?

For anyone who hits this thread: Hit view, then "hide music in the cloud." Your libraries will return to how you have built them.
Kelly, your music is still probably on your hard drive. The iCloud is just a cute techy way of saying that you have online access to things you've purchased from apple... just wait until they make it so that you ONLY have online access to your purchases, and nothing ever comes "off" the cloud for you to tangibly own.
Folks, this is a smoke and mirrors gimmick to make you buy-in to the itunes store. Let Apple manage, deliver, and DECIDE all the content that you will see. It's at least one degree more insiduous than corporate radio.
Kudos on the crisp interface and larger album cover displays, but...
Apple cannot find cover art for 1/3 of the library that I have built. That is because Apple does not carry that music. Apple will never host music from ancient vinyl that I have remastered, Apple will never host the shows of obscure electronica djs or the local bluegrass bands that put out EPs in the western US in the 80s. If you restrict your music experience to a single venue, you are not only missing out, but you are supporting an economic model which quashes music that does "not meet industry standards." Have fun with iTunes 11 kids.

I bought music from my ipod touch, it never downloaded, but it took my money
what do i do?

Log in to itunes via your acct. and there is a setting for direct downloads or save and download later, see which one you have selected, I'll bet it's save and download later.

Music won't download on all my devices via iCloud. Help?

Hi, I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4 and I depend a lot of iCloud. I would be lost without it. One annoying thing that is happening is that when I purchase music on my iPhone, it won't download automatically on my iPad. And the other way around. If I purchase music on my iPad it doesn't automatically download on my iPhone.
I have checked the setting in Settings>Store>Automatic downloads. On both devices, all 3 (music, apps, books) are all ON.
The feature works with books and apps. If I purchase an app or book on one device, it automatically appears on the other. It's just annoying that music won't download.
The apps and books even download on my PC when I open iTunes. But music never downloads. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Most likely those missing songs were purchased under a different account.

I want to download an app, but whenever I click on it, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! What to do?

I want to download apps, but whenever I click download, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! How do I fix this?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download?

Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download? All my purchased albums are showing on iTunes Store and my iPad but won't download onto new iphone. I just bought another album on my phone and that won't download either. My phone is on IOS 6.1.3 iPad is on IOS 7.0.4

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Download appears corrupt - installing to Windows XP and Windows 7 Pro 64bit

I have tried to install Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign onto 1 Windows XP computer and 2 Windows 7 computers and in every instance I have received the message "download appears corrupt. U43M1D207 error. I have combed the FAQ's and a lot of other mostly MAC users are receiving the same errors.
I have downloaded the Creative Suite cleaner and have used it multiple times on all the computers with the same failure over and over again.
I have also gone to Adobe Downloads and ran the patched Adobe Application Manager and still no luck.
In one FAQ a tech tells people to go to the trial versions and download those and then sign in and the subscription will appear. On 3 of the computers this worked, but on the third computer I started today, the subscription box never showed up even though I logged on with the employee's cloud subscription ID. I downloaded three of the applications only to have to go back and un-install the applications because it asked to either run in trial or supply a serial number.
On my fourth computer running Windows XP I downloaded Photoshop extended just fine and Illustrator, but there's no selection for InDesign, so I can't download it.
Last night I sat on a chat session for 30 minutes only to find out that there were no tech's on duty only customer support and she said that I would need to call in on Mon-Fri. I can't wait until Mon-Fri as I need to do this off hours.
I'm at the end of my rope with aggravation and I have 7 more computers to go and they are scattered around the USA.
If anyone has any idea what may fix my dilemma I would surely appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
Update: After getting away from the problem for awhile, I decided to clear the cache on both problem computers, run CCleaner and reboot. I then went back to the Trial Download page and everything worked perfectly. I could see InDesign on the Windows XP computer and on the Windows 7 computer the subscription box appeared. I had my answer and everything appears to work properly now.
I still don't understand why downloading from the Cloud site doesn't work especially since many of the problems I have been reading about in other threads were started back in May, 2012.
Also I don't understand why when so many techs like myself have to work after hours and on weekends there are no Adobe techs on the chat line. My company spent a lot of money on the new subscription and will continue to do so in the future and all I can find is work arounds instead of the Cloud download site actually being repaired.

It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

Most of my music left un-downloaded after sync

I have an iPhone 4S 64GB using ios7.0.2. I am syncing with my old trusty MacBook 10.6.8 running iTunes 11.1.1
The problem is two-fold. I connect the iPhone to the MacBook via USB and the settings are ticked to update via WiFi, I start the sync and then walk away and when I return, the sync seems to be finished, but all the music is not downloaded. I'm talking a couple thousand songs so I'm used to waiting. I don't sit and stare at the sync because it often takes several hours to complete, so I don't know why the MacBook and iPhone think the sync is finished.
What I'm left with are partial files, songs with a red square inside a red circle to the right of the song. Sometimes artwork, sometimes not. Some of the songs have the iCloud symbol next to them, which really confuses me since I got rid of iTunes Match a year ago (just doesn't work well over Sprint and I'm not in WiFi that often when I'm out and about.)
In short, I don't know why the songs don't sync to the phone completely, and I don't know why some are in iCloud.
How do I get the thing to just sync all the songs from all the playlists I choose? Can I just do it all manually? Can I choose manual sync and still backup to iCloud?
Thanks

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

HT1386 My music app displays "no music" after I download songs

Wen I purchase music from iTunes they do not appear in my music app after downloading them on my iPad 4 but via iCloud they do appear and are downloaded to my other (iphone 5) devices. I am also able to see all the songs I have on iCloud on my iPad 4 however I am not able to download them to the music app. After download is complete I click on the music app and it displays "no music".

Try this first. Close the music app completely and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't fix it, my next recommendation is to backup your iPad and restore it. I have seen a number of posts like yours in the past couple of weeks, and after much experimentation trying other fixes, the one thing that always seems to work is to restore the software.
