Prob. deleting iCloud downloads...

I thought that iCloud let me stream my music from my iTunes. I am guessing this is wrong. Now I am over-capacity from everything i downloaded from iCloud. How do I erase?....apparently can't fix it by syncing with my mac.

Do you have a computer (Mac or Windows PC)? If so, you should connect the devices to the computer, open iTunes and make a backup to the computer. You can then safely delete your iCloud backups if you like. A new device can be restored from the itunes backup.

If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

How do delete songs download from iCloud on iPhone 5?

I have iTunes Match and I turned this on within my iPhone 5. I also have the option to show all music that is on my iTunes match, these are the songs from my computer.
I want to point out that I have an iPhone 5 64GB with iOS7. When I stream a song via iCloud on my iPhone, and not download the song by pressing the song title and not the iCloud icon, I am not able to delete that song, by swiping on the song from the right. If I downloaded the song by pressing the iCloud download icon, I am able to delete that song, after it is downloaded.
So how can I delete the song that I streamed from iCloud on my iPhone 5? Can I do this from my iPhone?
I do believe that I am able to remove this song by syncing my iPhone to my computer, but I should not have to do this to remove a song that is on my phone.

Emails from iCloud cannot be lost.
Emails from other accounts are not backed up via iCloud, only the settings for those accounts.

HT201317 just backed up my iphone to the icloud and updated my software. I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find the pictures -- 470 of them. How can I access them?

How can i access all my photos after backing up my iphone to the icloud? I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find them.

You can import your camera roll to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
If you're upgrading your phone, I would recommend that you backup your old phone to your computer using iTunes. Restoring an iTunes backup to your new phone will be much faster than restoring an iCloud backup, and possibly more reliable too.
To back it up to iTunes, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. The go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
When setting up your new phone, when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore this backup to your new phone. It will include your camera roll and other data; restoring the backup will will also sync your apps and other iTunes media from your iTunes library to your new phone.

TS4006 How can i download icloud to my phone and change email acct not same with out deleting icloud

If i delete icloud from phone will i delete my info, i have an email I can't verify to down load.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How do I make iCloud downloads require a password on all my iDevices?

My apple ID has my iphone 4s, my ipad3 and three ipad mini's for my kids. I know I can use restrictions on each ipad mini for installing apps I've already bought, downloading music I've bought, but I'd much rather make ANY and EVERY download password protected on my appleID. As it is now they can simply click the iCloud/Download icon in the app store or in the music store and download whatever I've bought for myself. My 8, 10 and 10yro kids dont need to be able to simply click the iCloud/Download button for Grand Theft Auto 3, 99 problems from JayZ or anything else. Yes I watch what my kids have on their ipads and I monitor the time they use them and I have no concerns about their web surfing or YouTube watching, but I'd feel much better and would rather go thru typing my password every single time I make a download, either the first time I purchase it or again at a later time. Using iTunes for Windows I cant find any option for restricting my entire iTunes account with password protection for every download on any/every iDevice I own.
Cant I just put an account wide "require password" for EVERY download, even if I've already bought something on my ipad/iphone already? Or do I have to manually set this up on each ipad and create my own passcode lock for the Restrictions option? As I said, I dont mind doing this, I just think it would be easier to have an entire iTunes account restriction for downloading apps/music.

Hi jtvt7,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Your post doesn't indicate what your other devices are, but one thing you can try is to delete the song from the device that is not working, and re-download it.
The article below explains how:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT4847 I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do.

I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do

It still didn't work...
Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

Some songs are grayed out in Itunes with ICloud/Download symbol, why and how do I fix it?

A random variety of my songs are grayed out so they won't play and it shows the ICloud download symbol next to them. In the top left hand corner, it shows the cloud symbol with horizontal lines moving, as if it's in the process of downloading, but it has been on all day and there is no movement to shift the grayed out songs to functioning songs as if they have been downloaded.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks!!

Delete the incomplete tracks from your library, sending them to recycle bin, then download them again from your purchased history. If the problem persists use the "report a problem" links from your account history to contact the iTunes store support staff.
Are the incomplete tracks ones that you had previewed before purchasing the album? If so there may be a bug that needs reporting. See this recent post which explains why I ask the question...

Welcome to the Apple community.
It sounds as though you are sharing and iCloud account with someone else, you need to have a separate iCloud account, otherwise there is no way of stopping other sharers from accessing your photos in photo stream.

HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Please help me to delete pending download files

Hi,
I would like to delete pending downloads in my itunes.

- 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.
- Downlod on computer and then connect to computer and sync
- 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:

Deleted icloud by mistake on my mac. How can I recover?

Hi!
I have deleted Icloud by mistake on my mac. I had it when I bought my computer...
My operating version is 10.6.8
I have made all the updates available
How can I recover Icloud? Do I have to download it?
thank you!!

You wouldn't have iCloud on a Mac running 10.6.8. iCloud requires Lion or Mountain Lion. You can upgrade to Mountain Lion in the Mac App Store. After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud, and can set it up as discussed here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.

" Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"! i can't sign out my icloud account

I want to sign out my icloud account but I can't. When I try sign out, I received notification " Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

Download by clicking the iCloud download button

The Apple publicity says ...
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
I have loaded my entire iTunes library on my IMac to iCloud with iTunes Match. (successfully completed)
Now I want to download (not stream) the entire iTunes Match library (including iTunes non-purchased music) in the iCloud back to my IMac iTunes library (to benefit amongst other things to better bit rate recordings) but cannot find the "the iCloud download button" on iTunes on the iMac.
What have I not understood in this process ?
Can somebody tell me how to download the iCloud music to iTunes on an iMac ?
many thanks
Stuart

Winston the status shown in the URL you gave http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4124 show just anomalies. There are two other status: Matched and Uploaded shown.
So take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
This solves my problem:
1 First I needed to delete all Matched in my iTunes (select all, then Delete, BUT do not click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.)
2 The Matched ones remain in the iTunes list, with an iCloud icon with a "down arrow" inside the iCloud icon, signifying "can be downloaded".
3 Then select "all" those Matched ones again and with cntrl click and chose Download from the drop down menu, and hey presto, iTunes starts to download and replace all the previously deleted Matched songs in your iTunes library with their clean 256kb version. The Matched status stays in place and the iCloud icon with the downarrow disappears one by one as each song is downloaded.
4. Itunes seems to be downloading 3 songs simultaneously and takes on average about 3-4 seconds a song on my iMAC
I hope this helps you too.
Thanks for your help and ideas, but this definately seems to be working ...am still downloading at the moment.
I'll let u know if there were any hiccups during the download process.

Stalled ICloud download on new iPhone 5, 64 GB.

The Icloud download to my two day old Iphone 5, 64gb has stalled for 24 hours.
However, I downloaded speed test during the stalled Icloud download.
The download time for speed test was 45secs.
The test showed 52.74 dnlwd, 10.06 upld and 17 ms ping.
Xfinity hi def tv is fast and excellent. Beautiful video.
I am using the new Apple dual band router which is supported by the
the Iphone 5.
I have both the AT&T LTE and the Apple Router 4g dual band WiFi enabled on
my Iphone 5.   The Iphone five has version 6.0.1 installed.
I believe this is an Apple server problem, even though some reports from Apple
seem to indicate its Googles DNS server or a software/hardware problem with
the Iphone 5.
Seems like a strange conclusion since everything seems to be working except the
Icloud server.
I have tried resetting notifications, Cell only, wifi only and privacy system services.
I did shut down and restart several times.
I did not try rebooting or reseting the internet setup.
All to no avail.
How can I restart the Icloud download?
thanks,
howie

Posting from the new Ipad one, testing on my new Iphone 5.

I have found a solution to the posting listed below:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20264128#20264128   Stalled Icloud Download.
The download that stalled was from the App Store purchased database.   It may have been caused by one
several problems.
One: I tried to download all of my purchased apps at the same time, which created a DOS type event on my Iphone.
Two: One of the apps downloaded was damaged and caused the stall.
Solution:   I deleted all of the stalled apps on my Iphone.   And I am now downloading selected apps one at a
time.   My apps database contains apps purchased for my Ipad. I may not need all of them on my Iphone.
The Iphone 5 64 GB is working ok with no anomalies.
A super great improvement over my Blackberry Torch!!
THANKS MUCH APPLE FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!!
Howie.
