Songs on my phone but with cloud symbol in music app

Hi,
first time, first question.
iphone 5s 16GB
iOS 8.1.3
MacBook Pro Early 2011
MacOS Yosemite 10.10.2
Question:
I have iTunes Match and i have this problem since a few months.
I download songs of any playlist on my phone and then some songs are still having the download(cloud symbol) or after while it happens.
I know that iOS delete songs if the storage reaches it's limits but i tested it with more than 1 GB free space.
The songs are download completely - i checked the iTunes Store App but only a few are then available(i turned on airplane mode and the songs which aren't really downloaded are grey) in the Music App.
When the Download is happening the symbol seems to complete the download and then starts new or the cloud symbol is coming back - it's endless but after a while the songs are gone in the Itunes App Download Section(List is empty)
The weird thing is - if i check the storage settings where i can download particular songs or audiobooks etc. - the songs are THERE as available songs ready for deleting!
I also deleted the playlist and created a new one - no change some songs are there
I have this problem since i have itunes match, first the deleting from itself and now this - a while ago i wiped my iphone clean and installed everything new(no backup) and also i turned of itunes match on my Mac and my iphone.
No Change.
Thanks for reading.

    You must have a counterfeit iPod since that latest model sold by Apple is the 5G.
    Assuming y have a 5G with iOS 7, that means those songs are available for download via iCloud. To download just tap on the song/icon when an internet connection is availalbe.
    Of yo do not want those to show, go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>SOW ALL and turn off Music.

    I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that.  Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
    If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

    i preorded a song on my phone but i can only listen to it on my computer and it wont download on my phone.... why cant i download it on my phone?

    What happens when trying to download or sync the content to the device?
    If it was preordered, has the song actually been released?

  • Had an itunes account I shared with family.  opened a separate account when I got a new phone but can't transfer my music library.  How do I delete new account and go back to original shared account?

    I had an itunes account I shared with my family.  I opened a separate account when I got a new phone but cant't transfer my library of music.  I want to cancel new account and go back to original shared account.  How do I do this?

    Content is permanently tied to the account it is acquired with.
    Apple ID's cannot be deleted.
    Simply sign out of the undesired account and stop using it.  Sign in with the desired account.

  • Having connected my new iPhone 6 to itunes and setting it up as normal... i transferred music to it as normal but when i open the music app and select a playlist it has a download cloud next to each track...

    After connecting my new iPhone 6 to iTunes, i transferred my music as i always have done. After opening the music app and selecting a playlist there is a download cloud next to each track... this is also the case with each podcast. Also once i reconnect the phone to iTunes go to add another playlist, at the top the "sync music" check tick has disappeared. when i re check that box again it says "Do you want to sync this iPhone all data will be erased"
    can anyone help at all?
    Thank you

    Hello henryscott3,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you either have iTunes Match on your iPhone, or are seeing items that are available in iTunes in the Cloud and not on your device.  To learn more about both of these features, please see the articles below.
    iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
    iCloud: Content everywhere
    Take care,

  • Problems with changes in iOS5 Music app on iPad

    With iOS 5, massive changes have been made to the Music app that makes it virtually unusable for listening to podcasts.  Weirdly, these changes were not made on the iPhone version, which still works fine.
    My problems are these:
    1.     Music App no longer shows which episodes of a podcast have been fully played, partially played, or not played.
    2.     The 30-second re-play button is gone.
    3.     The 1X - 2X - ½X playback speed button is gone.
    These items aren't very important for playing music, but they're pretty critical for listening to podcasts.  As I said, these features are still on the iPhone version of iOS5.  It's like somebody decided that no one listens to podcasts on the iPad so they took them out.  If that's true, then it's just me that's screwed.
    Am I missing something?  Is there a way to bring these features back?  I've tried Apple Care and they didn't have a clue.  And before someone suggests it, yes, I have submitted a comment to the feedback web page at Apple.
    Thanks,
    Rolando

    I am with you.   4 out of 5 people in the office not longer are able to open email attachments(PDFs, jpgs, Office Docs) after upgrading to iOS 5 on iPhones or iPads.  It seems to be from only from emails not from a Mac, iPhone or iPad. If you forward the message to youself from an Apple product, you will be able to open the attachment.
    If called Apple support and they were not able to help after an 50 Mins.  I'm going to re-install iOS to see if if works.

  • Help required with Audiobooks on iOS5 Music app

    I have just upgraded my iPad to the latest OS which changed the ipod app to the new Music app.  Unfortunately there are a couple of issues in the Audiobooks feature.
    1) when you listen to an audiobook, it no longer moves automatically from one file to the next (like a playlist).  It gets to the end of the file and stops.  This particularly annoying when it is a book that is split into 2 minute files.  I have looked for an option in case it is a configurable feature but can not find it.
    2) for some of my audiobooks it has listed the files in a random order so the story does not flow in the right order.  I do not understand what is causing this.
    I have search the apple website and there does not seem to be a way to raise a bug report.   Any thoughts on whether this is a configuration problem on my iPad or whether it is the new software.

  • I bought a song on my phone but it won't play on my PC

    This isn't the first time that this is happened... I buy a song through the iTunes app on my iPhone 5C and when I open iTunes on my PC, the song shows up in my Library but won't play and the name is gray and has the exclamtion mark in a circle next to the song title. When I check the iTunes store it says "PLAY" like it should but it won't even play through that. How do I get rid of this problem?

    Hi itsjustangie,
    Try deleting the song on the PC and then re-downloading it from the Cloud.

  • I need to sync my phone with my computer as a new phone.  When I attach the cord, iTunes is not asking me if it is a new phone but tries to sync my prior apps.  I was having problems and do not want to restore my old settings.  How?

    How can I force iTunes to let me backup my iPhone to my computer as a new phone?  It is not asking me if it is a new device but is trying to restore my old settings.

    Go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Check the box "Prevent iPods, iPhones & iPads from syncing automatically".
    then connect the phone, click on its name, and click the "Restore iPhone" button.

  • How do you share one iTunes with two phones but not get each other's apps when you sync?

    My husband doesn't want to have the kid's apps or my apps download on his iphone when he syns to our one iTunes library....suggestions?

    Each device will ONLY sync what you select.
    Just do not select the apps that you do not want.  Only select the apps that you do want.

  • Songs found when searching but not shown in my music

    Hi,
    Since yesterday, when I drag+drop music to iTunes (11.0.1, mac), it is copied into the library folder, I can see it into the "recently added" smart playlist, and iTunes shows it while typing its name in search box. But whenever I click on search results, or try to see it in album, artist or songs lists, music is not there. Any idea I could try?
    Thanks!

    You were right, music appeared next day. For me, it was without restarting machine or iTunes. Also, today I can add music with no problems.
    It may be an issue related to system dates or with year change. Maybe iTunes gets sick as with Y2K effect
