Retrieving music from icloud and keeping it

I upgraded my phone and subsequently all my music went to the cloud. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve this for itunes and my iphone and stop it disappearing again. thanks

If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

So 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? Do I have to fly to the USA ?

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.

Deauthorize all.
Then authorize the active computers.

Retrieving music from Icloud

Most of my music from Itunes is "locked" in Icloud. Itunes is trying to make me pay/reedownload the specific songs. My friend authorized her Mac to share iTunes with my computer 12/12. Only my music is locked with Icloud. My computer is the only authorized computer now. I deauthourized and reauthorized.
Does anyone know how I can retrieve my songs? I don't even have Icloud. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Reboot then see what happens.
Did you authorize your computer to your iTunes account?

HT4796 i have successfully migrated the music but it just shows up in my files and has not updated my iTunes library which is still getting the music from iCloud and is not using the migrated files. Any ideas?

I have successfully used windows migration software to move my music library from a PC to my MacBook Air.
However the music files are just stored in my file system and have not updated my itunes files. Itunes is still getting the music down from icloud instead of using the music files.
Any ideas?

If you're using Windows Movie Maker and HP Photo to build slide shows, this is not an iPod touch issue (nor an iTunes issue), so I'd suggest you take up the problem on a web site that deals with Movie Maker or HP Photo issues. It's really not something we can help with in this forum.
If you're building this slide show on your iPod, please post back and tell us what app(s) you're trying to use, and whether the iPod app on your iPod touch shows and plays your songs correctly. Knowing the specific model of iPod you have and the version of iOS it's running will probably also help.
Regards.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your back up via iCloud is only for use for restoring your phone after wiping it. You can't inspect or utilise specific parts of the back up.

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 work in a hospital and cannot download or listen to my purchased music from iCloud.

I work in a hospital where I cannot download my purchased (over 2+ yrs) music from iCloud. I can get all it when away from work. Also I just got hit with more usage charges while trying to do downloads at work.

Hi lorrina,
Why not just sign onto your iTunes account on the desk top, and download the songs? Are you looking under the correct "Purchased" option? Click on the iTunes Store. Once the Store is open, click on Purchased under Quick Links.
You will then see a window come up with tabs for Music, Apps, Movies, etc. Click on Music, click on Songs, click on "Not on this Computer". You should see a list of all of your purchased music with a little cloud that has a down arrow in the middle of it next to each song. Click on selected songs to download them, or click on "Download All" at the bottom of the screen.
Cheers,
GB

HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

HT5085 I would like to upload my music library from my PC to the Cloud through iTunes Match. I also will be purchasing a Mac in the near future and would like to download some of that music from iCloud to my Mac. Will I have compatability problems?

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

Hi,
You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.
Cheers,
