My phone shows (cloud) music I did not purchase or manually add?

I have iTunes mach enabled and allow music to be brought in from the cloud to my phone. As a result the I am seeing music that I never downloaded or manually added to itunes via ripping from a CD or other sources. Furthermore, the music only shows up on my phone , but not on my computer. Any thoughts?

    I have several songs on my iTunes library that I did not purchase. how do I delete these? There are some songs that are objectionable. Thanks

    Hi there fredfromclearwater,
    You can accomplish this by hiding your purchases in the iTunes Store. The article below has more information.

  • I have been finding since updating to ios7 that music I have not purchased has been showing up in my library, is this normal or has something happened with my iTunes account

    Since updating to ios7, I have found that music shows up on my phone that I do not own, either through cd or through iTunes Store. I was wondering if this was normal after the update or something else. It coincides with the glitch with cloud music, but is much more troublesome. Not only is it music I do not want, my fear is potentially getting charged or someone else being charged for music we did not buy

    Yes I understand this. I have done this, even deleted songs which I did not want on there. My concern is songs have showed up which I did not purchase. (And currently my music library is designated as "show all" off). I would like to know how this is happening and is there a way to prevent it from happening

  • I have songs in my music i did not download, they have a cloud with a arrow pointing down. how do i delete them?

    i have songs in my music i did not download, they have a cloud with a arrow pointing down. how do i delete them?

    What songs are they ? If it's the U2 Songs of Innocence album then that was given free to everyone a couple of months ago - you can remove it from your account if you don't want it : http://itunes.com/soi-remove
    But the cloud icon means that those songs are in the cloud, not on your phone. You can turn off the showing of all cloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off'. Or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

  • My iPod plays music i did not download.

    I have about 3 songs on my iPod I downloaded about a year ago.  Recently, when I select these songs, other music I did not download plays, even though it shows the original song and album cover.  How can I change this back to the music I originally downloaded?

  • Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play.  How do I resolve this issue?

    Hello,
    Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone.  It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it.  The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes. 
    Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too.  In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
    Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades".  Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore.  Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
    Thank you,
    Dago

    You will probably lose the music.
    Why is it not on your computer?
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

  • HT204053 I have music that was not purchased from app store that has somehow ended up in I cloud. How do I get it back from I cloud to my I pod?

    I have music that was not purchased from I tunes and has somehow ended up on I cloud I think! How do I get this back to my I phone?

    Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

  • I just updated itunes and a LOT of my movies and music disappeared. These are movies and music I owned already and did not purchase from iTunes. How do I find them or do I need to add them all again? Also what happened to the sidebar?

    I just updated my iTunes software and have a lot of problems...
    1. The sidebar option is gone. I LIKED the sidebar and it was easier for me to navigate that way.
    2. Also no lists? I hate the icon way to view it. It makes my eyes go wonky and I have a harder time actually looking for what I want.
    3. A LOT of my music and movies have disappeared. These are music and movies I owned that I did NOT purchase from iTunes so I can not re-download them.
    How do I find the missing files? Do I have to readd them into iTunes? Is there a way I am not seeing to put thew sidebar back or make the files be viewed in list form? Can I undo this update to put it back the way it was. I hate this update...

    See my answere to your post in the Mt. Lion forum.

  • Sometimes Apple sends emails to me in Dutch.  My language is English.  An Apple employee told me my initiating profile shows Dutch.  He did not know how to change it.  How do I?

    Apple sends emails to me in Dutch to one of my email addresses.  My language is English.  An Apple employee told me my initiating profile shows Dutch.  He did not know how to change it. How do I? 
    (Note:  When I bought my first Apple product, I used a Shaw email address.  This year I changed my primary email address to a gmail one.  The gmail one is apparently on my Apple profile.  Nonetheless, the Dutch messages go to my Shaw email address.)
    Thanks!

    Hi, ruthrr.
    This sounds like your language preference is set to Dutch on your Apple ID.  I would go to My Apple ID, Manage Your Apple ID and change the language and contact preferences. 
    Cheers,

    There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • App store shows new update for program I did not purchase

    App store shows new update for program I did not purchase. This is "CodeBox". When I push button to download update it shows "uknown error". For normal other updates - "update all" not working anymore.
    How to delete this line from updates section now.

    The problem was finally solved. I am writing very simple solution for those who may have same issue. I tried 1st solution proposing to exclude HDD from Spotlight search and then to restore it (delete from exceptions). It worked for some time and removed notification, however later it appeared again. Then I has started thinking that it was caused by data inside some installed SW and it has been proved later. I have started excluding from Sportlight not all HDD but by folder, searching for the problem area. I have discovered that folder Games was causing the issue. Then I have started to delete installed games one by one and have found Game with was triggering this notification (for other SW!). Problem was fixed after deleting this game. Other deleted games could be easily restored from recycle been.

  • HT1203 I am trying to restore my iTunes library after updating to latest version. How to I get to the iTunes library? I am using Firefox. users\username\Music\iTunes did not bring me there.x

    Just updated to latest iTunes. My library is missing playlists, some playlists are incomplete. User\username\Music\iTunes did not bring up a link to restore my library. Using Firefox, Windows Vista

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
