Songs stuck in the Cloud.

Bought 3 songs in iTunes. They are now in the cloud. When trying to download them to the playlist on the Mac, getting the information that I have no permission to do so. They are shown in the Songs playlist with a little cloud behind the title. And it is not possible to move them to other playlists. OK, I can listen to them, no problem, but only on the Songs playlist.

Yes.

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

How do I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues and won"t let me sync..

How can I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues, any new purchased songs are not syncing with Ipod 3rd generations.

Do you have the original installation disc(s) that shipped with your MacBook? You're just going to have to start from scratch - as I doubt that you can recover any files without paying a fortune. Insert the installations disc, reformat your hard drive and then install the OS that came with your computer. Continue updating to 10.6.8 and then redownload and reinstall Mountain Lion again.
That's really the only way you're going to get your machine up and running again. I would also consider buying an inexpensive external drive to use as a backup in case your brother decides to do something stupid again.

Updated to ios 7.1.1 and now my music is stuck in the cloud along with my playlists being empty?

Any idea about the question?

Nothing is "stuck" in the cloud.
All of your content should be in iTunes on the computer. Simply sync it back.

I have a song that skips on my main mac because its a downloaded copy. But on my other devices(iPad, Apple TV) it does not skip because its in the cloud. How do I make a downloaded song back into the cloud?

Delete the track from the iTunes library, but not from the cloud.

How can I change "get info" on songs purchased through the Cloud?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have been unable to change any album info on songs that were purchased through the Cloud. this wasn't always the case. As we know, iTunes sometimes places songs/albums, etc., in the wrong category or genre. I'm simply trying to place it in the proper or desired catetory or place all songs on one album after iTunes split the album. But, when I right click on GET INFO, all of my options to make any changes are GREYED out and I can't select anything. Only the Summary window and the album artwork window are accessible.
After doing some research I determined that it is indeed only those songs that have the CLOUD icon beside them. I truly don't understand the CLOUD and how it works enough to even know what I did to change it...or how to change it back! And before the upgrade, that cloud icon didn't exist. Thoughts? ideas? Hope this all makes sense.

Hi,
I presume you mean songs purchased from iTunes Store.
It would appear that you have not downloaded the tracks to your computer. Once you have downloaded the tracks you will be able to change info.

I just downloaded itunes and all my music is there but the files won't fit onto my computer so now i can't play the 12000 songs i have n my library y isn't this possible if all the songs are on the cloud ?this is ridiculous ...

i got a new laptop because my old one won't turn on anymore .i can only sync my account to 5 computers so how do i unsync the account from my old laptop if i can't use my old laptop ?and i have over 12000 songs that i now have to individually drag and drop onto my computer that doesn't hold that much space because none of my songs will play because there is no file on computer to back it up .all of my songs are saved in the cloud y isn't that enough to make my songs play ?so now i have a list of songs that won't play on my itunes that won't let me use my account because it's the 6th computer on my account .it's kindda pointless .

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

How to update songs already in the cloud??

When i download a song sometimes it comes with a random piece of grabage album artwork that some person threw on there, and when it goes into my library it is many times put into the cloud beofre i can change the information. Then when I go to change it, it fixes it in my computer without changing it in the cloud. So, for example, if i change the artwork on a song from the crappy one to the real one, it will be real on my computer, but will be the fake on on my iphone, ipad, or any other computer i used match on. I've tried updating itunes match a thousand times and I can't tell you how many times I've gon ein and manually fixed everyone but nothing seems to work. HELP!!!

There is no solution to this problem.
It is known...

How do I get a song out of the cloud

Ssome songs have a cloud with an arrow facing down next to it. I can't get these songs to play. How can I get these songs to play.

You need to have an internet connection on what ever device you are using, then you press the cloud icon and it should download the song.

Deleted Songs stay in the Cloud?

hi,
so today i tried to "rematch" around 800 songs that were previously uploaded and not matched to the cloud even though i'm fairly certain most of them should have been matched. therefore i deleted those songs from my library as well as from the iCloud but once i add those songs again, it doesnt even bother to match them, it shows "uploaded" instantly ...
is there no way to rematch songs? is there the possiblility that those songs stay in the cache for a certain amount of time and i should wait a few days before i try to match them again?
if apple indeed does not delete anything even though the "delete from iCloud" would indicate such, thats kinda worrysome

At this time there is no reliable way to "rematch" songs.
When tracks are deleted from the cloud there is a delay between the command being given and when the track actually gets deleted from the server. It doesn't happen immediately. No one knows just what the delay is before the cache on the servers is cleared, though. It is a safe bet to wait at least 24 hours, if not more, before re-adding tracks to a library. But keep in mind that just because a track in your library is for sale in the iTunes Store does not mean it will be matched. If the track was "uploaded" previously it will probably still be "uploaded."

How do I save photos stuck in the cloud to my computer?

About a month ago I accidentally threw my phone in the wash, killing it. When I bought my new phone the guy failed to mention that I could restore everything back to what it was and by the time I discovered I could, I'd already gotten myself knee deep into my new phone. I had a lot of senitmental pictures on there that I'd like to get back, out of the cloud and onto my Mac. I've just spent seriously 5 hours trying to update this **** thing and now I'm still lost trying to get that content saved to the computer so that I can delete it and stop getting the reminder that my cloud is full. Is it completely lost and do I have to just delete it to make more room?
Also, complete side note, but I HATE that my scroll is inversed where if I want to scroll down a page I have to push up on my touch pad. Can I undo that too??

The only way to recover your camera roll photos from an iCloud backup is to restore the backup to your phone. What you can do is back up your phone to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and save the recovered photos, then restore the backup you made on your computer to get back to where you are now. To do this, do the following:
Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Tranfer Purchases. When this finishes click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
Eject your phone from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer. Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to. Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.
When the backup finishes, import the recovered camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes and click Restore Backup, choosing the backup you made at step 1 to restore from. This should return your phone to it's current state.
If you want the photos you recovered on your phone, put them in an event in iPhoto, then select the event to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.
You can't change the scrolling behavior of your phone. In time it will seem natural.
