Turn off show all music; extra songs appear in iPhone library; unable to delete

I turn ON 'show all music', then download a couple more songs I want from iCloud to expand my iPhone5 library.  Then I turn 'show all music' back OFF and a myriad of other songs appear in my library that I did not want downloded to my phone (nor did I select from the cloud) and I am unable to delete them from the library... 
This sounds like a glitch with the iOS 7.0.4 as I am unable to find a similar solution in the community other than "delete all your music and start over..." which is not the route I'd like to take.  If there are other remedies out there, please help!  Apple, if you're listening, please fix!  I have over 750 songs in the cloud!

Items with the Cloud icon are not on your phone. They are items that have been purchased previously but have since been deleted. You can download them again by tapping the Cloud icon.

  • Show all music not working on my iPhone!

    Dear Community:
    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 installed with iTunes Match turned on. I'm not sure if this problem existed in iOS 6 (I'd say no), but even when I enable "show all music", my library doesn't show up entirely. It only shows the 1000 or so songs that i have downloaded. When I connect to WiFi, it shows my entire library, and gives me the option to download any track, as usual. Before the problem started, my entire library showed up, and I could download any track over 3G, BUT I could listen to it only if i had downloaded it before, so if I enable the use of 3G i will be able to listen over cellular, but with the classic lousy quality, and not the full track.
    Any suggestions as to why my library isn't showing? I've tried disabling show all, closing the app, enabling, rebooting, etc. and still no results. If anyone could help me, would be great.
    Best,
    F

    Hi Michael,
    thanks for this, this helped me out as I just had the same issue but on my iPad lol.
    Forgot about that setting even though I knew about it, just goes to show, out of sight, out of mind.

  • HT3819 How do I copy all music files that appear on one library into the library on another MAC - both on home share

    My partner and I both have MACs
    She copied from CD our entire CD music collection and has turned on I-Cloud.
    I want to import her library to my MAC rather than copy all the CDs again.
    We have Home share on
    The Apple advice "In the Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.”" does not work as there is no "items not in my library" at the bottom of the show menu

  • Show all music not working on iPhone 6

    HHelping a family member set up their new iPhone 6. Email, iCloud, iTunes all set up with an apple id but toggling "show all music" in settings>music has no effect nor does settings>iTunes and App Store show all music toggle. Went into iTunes store on the iPhone and it shows 109 purchases of songs "not on this iPhone" but they won't show up in the music app.
    tried:
    resetting
    hard resetting
    toggling the settings mentioned above on and off repeatedly
    signing in and out of iCloud on divice
    signing in and out of iTunes and App Store on device
    what am I missing here? On my 5s when I toggle settings>music>show all music the albums not on my Phone instantly appear and disappear.
    many thanks for any help or advice

    Hi Gail thanks for your quick reply. When I go into the itunes store under the Apple ID in question it shows 109 purchased songs. These are the songs I'm expecting to see when I toggle "show all music" but nothing appears.
    edit: I tried logging into my Apple ID on his phone, all of my purchases showed up immediately in his music as being in the cloud. Could it be some issue with his Apple ID? It's verified on the phone and seems to be working for everything else.

  • Show all music shows duplicates

    When I turn on show all music my iphone shows duplicates of some songs. When I click the download it shows that it's downloading both and when its done it shows only one has downloaded. When I go on another phone with the same Apple id it doesn't show any duplicates when show all music is turned on. What do i do to stop the duplicates from my phone on the cloud

    Sounds like some songs listed in the Purchased section are not downloaded on the iPod. To download past pruchases to the iPod see:

  • Still seeing songs from cloud even though the "show all music" setting is OFF

    Sorry if this is a duplicate post. All the devices are rising up against me
    IPhone 5 issue
    Just to be clear:
    In Settings > Music
    "Show all music" is OFF
    "iTunes Match" is OFF
    Please don't tell me to turn them off, because they are absolutely off!
    I am still seeing music from my cloud in my song list ANYWAY!! Not every song from my cloud, just less than half. Music I don't want on my phone, like my daughter's music, and other random songs. What also concerns me is since it won't let me remove them, if I go into an area with no wifi, I will use data playing the songs.
    Swiping right to left does not work (or the other direction, I tried for the **** of it).
    How do I get the random cloud music to stop displaying? I only want what I downloaded to show and that's it. I've tried all night to figure it out and it's making me nutty. Is there some other obscure thing I am missing or is this some crazy bug?
    Thanks

    SO I dont have a computer with itunes on it - which wasnt an issue with iphone4. in the process of getting a new laptop. its a moot point.
    anyways, I came up with a solution to my problem (so far, so good).
    Open to the iTunes store app
    Scroll to the bottom of the main screen and click on your Apple ID, which gives you the option to Sign Out.
    Sign out!
    Reboot the phone
    Presto - all the iCloud stowaways have disappeared from my music app.

    Dear Sirs,

    Hello there Jameskuo47,
    In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
    This section specifically:
    To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    Note:
    iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
    latest iOS software here'
    Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
    Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
    Important:
    When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
    By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How to download with "Show All Music" off

    I want to keep "Show All Music" off in my iPhone settings, but if I do so how do I download my own music that wasn't purchased from iTunes from the cloud? I don't see it anywhere.

    I have been using iTunes match since beta and have found myself cleaning up my music collection... rather than horde entire CDs for just one song, I'm removing all that extra stuff and really making sure my music collection is just what I want to hear.    I also re-thought my playlists so I could get at the music I want and not have to weed through a lot of stuff I only listen too once in a while.
    I have my iPhone set to manually sync, as I use it more for running and sports so prefer a certain collection of songs... then I have my iPad set to the cloud so I can access anything anywhere. 
    I'm happy they have enabled both options and find it quite flexible.  I imagine as they get feedback things will improve as well.

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • How do you turn off show current song?

    hi does anyone here know how to turn off "show current song" in the Edit menu?
    its driving me crazy!!
    thanks

    drat ... i should have checked over there anyway.
    hmmmm. i've played with that a bit (now that i've found it), and i'm not sure precisely how to do that, or if it's possible. (other people feel free to leap in at this point.)
    if you're doing a serious information-editing run while you're playing music in the background, you could try this workaround. create a temporary ordinary playlist, and drag in to that the songs that you want to edit info on. do the editing in that playlist. a song change going on in a different playlist (or the main library) won't adjust your view in the playlist that you're working in.
    once you've finished the editing, you could just delete the playlist (or empty the contents of the playlist).

  • Why all the extra songs in Itunes Music Library?

    I have 20 versions from different artist of the same song in my Itunes music library of course they want you to press the buy button.  When did this start?  How do I just see my library not all the extra songs?

    thanks! got it. it's the command key. hold it down while checking one of the boxes and the rest of them will be checked.

  • Using iTunes Match, Show All Music not working for one playlist

    I am using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2. I just recently subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music has been matched/uploaded.
    When I turn on iTunes Match and Show All Music on my iPhone, all of my playlists show up but one of them is incomplete, and doesn't have an option to download the missing songs from the cloud.
    So, for example, I have a playlist that on my Mac has 696 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, and they all appear as either already on my phone or downloadable. Most of the other playlists are the same: working as expected. But I also have a playlist that on my Mac has 58 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, but only nine of them appear on my phone (they were already there), and none of the remaining 49 are showing as available to download from the cloud.
    Is it possible to fix this? I've had bad luck in the past deleting playlists on the phone with the goal of having them refresh during the next sync. (The bad luck involved my playlists being deleted in iTunes on my Mac after the sync.)
