Where does itunes put files downloaded to pc from the cloud?

I reformatted my pc. If I restore music from itunes match, where on my computer does it place the files? I also have the option to restore from Carbonite. If I put all the music back in its original location, how do I "coordinate" with itunes and itunes match?

HT204406 I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account, and downloaded my library from the Cloud to my new computer. However, many songs only partially downloaded, and now I'm having a hard time getting rid of them to do full downloads.

I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account and tried to get my first computer's library on my second computer via the Cloud. Many of the songs only partially downloaded, and I am having a hard time getting rid of the library with the partial downloads (so I can get full songs). I am considering nuking the current iTunes on the second computer and re-installing, giving myself a clean slate to work with. Is this the right way to go?

Apps are not backed up, app data is. Apps are already located in iTunes and thus do not need to be backed up. See this support document for information about what is backed up via iTunes.
Are you sure about that, because when I backed up my iPad Mini w/7.0.4 and the newest iTunes, it made a 10gb Backup, which is pretty huge considering I only have a "16" Gb Slate iPad (More Like 13.5 Gb).
When I restored it after Jailbreaking, it moved ALL of the Apps I had bought back in - A neat trick if the Apps themselves are not part of the Backup package- Because the apps had NOT been backed up into iTunes on that PC.
iOS 6 did NOT restore my Apps, even though it did restore my folders.

351 Missing iTunes Files On HDD/Recovering From The Cloud

Yesterday 8/10/13, I was attempting to update my iPod Classic with 12 new songs. I did it the normal way when suddenly I noticed iTunes was deleting all my songs (19573 of them). My library is on my external hard drive plus I had an icloud account and had backed them up to the cloud. So I thought no big deal. For whatever reason, 351 songs have lost their connection with iTunes. They are still on my external hard drive. I tried many of the recommended solutions from the forum ie. changing library locations, unchecking the keep files organized box, moving the itl/xml files. Nothing will reconnect iTunes with the files en mass. I can do one at a time, but really 351...I don't think so.
So here's the issue. When I do locate files, iTunes only lets me do one at a time and it doesn't say, "oh here's 350 others in the same file." Nor can I find any information as to how to download my library from the cloud where I paid to have it stored for such an occassion (All 19573 songs). The common thread with all the missing files that are actually on my external hard drive is that they have the words "file://localhost followed by the regular drive location. I've read the forum recommendations for the localhost issue and none of the solutions worked for me. Running a PC with Win7.
Appreciate a solution to this very frustrating and time consuming issue. Spent almost 12 hours working on a fix yesterday.
Thanks....

I thought I'd update my post regarding solution. Since I couldn't resolve my 350 missing songs nor why my iPod was vacuumed of the 19K+ songs, I contacted Apple Support. Fortunately for me, after hearing my sad tail of woe, I had excellent and timely response from the group. I'll give you the abridged versioin. The Apple Support tech supervisor contacted a software engineer who restored my iCloud file exactly as I had left it. WHOOOAAAA! I was able to download my entire library from the cloud, something I didn't expect that I'd have to do so quickly. It only took 4 days to complete the download. Running the PC about 8-10 hours a day exclusively for the purpose of downloading. I built a new folder and put all the "fresh" downloads in it. Uh, oh....my file was 113+/- GB when I uploaded and it's now 158.99GB. When iTunes matched on my music, I received an upgraded file as advertised. Well that's good and bad news. The good is that music file now has enhanced sound quality. The bad is that my file has gained almost 49GB. As far as "streaming" from the cloud, no issue; however, I have the 160GB iPod Classic and guess what? My music won't fit. So I adjusted the iPod setting in iTunes to 192KB to allow my music to "fit" on the iPod. So, when streaming I get great quality and when listening to the iPod, not so much. I did an iPod restore and started the transfer. This normally takes about 3 hours. After 3+ hours only about 500 songs transferred. Something is definately wrong. The only difference was, I unchecked keeping my files organized in my new library. Call me skiddish. After several tries, I stopped the transfer. I made a secondary copy of my library onto my 1TB external drive...now I have 3 copies, the original and 2 enhanced. Can't ever have too many, right? Now I set the "Keep My Music Organized" prompt for one of my enhanced file copies and away iTunes went, organizing the music. So I'm now at the point of attempting another transfer. Oh yeah, I got a udpated version of iTunes this a.m. 11.0.5. Hopefully, I'll get my normal transfer to iPod time of around 3 hours. Will update the post when done.

I just got iTunes Match and I would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data?

I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

Hi,
Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

Error 3131: Will not download my music from the cloud

Just got a new mac and it partially downloaded my music from the cloud but when I try to finish downloading it gives me Error 3131. I have tried logging out and back in, as well as quitting iTunes and restarting.

Make sure you have the latest software updates for OS X and iTunes, if you aren't sure how to do that take a look at this Apple doc -> OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
If that doesn't take care of it, try following along with this Apple doc -> iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads

Make sure Contacts is selected in System Preferences > iCloud. That should sync your contacts on your Mac automatically.

I am using iTunes Match, and wish to restore from the cloud to itunes. Why do I have to select one at a time to download?

I am using iTunes Match, and had to restore all of my music (.3000 songs). Problem is, I don't see where can restore them all at once. I can do it for all purchased items from the Cloud, but not for songs/content that I added on my own from CD's. I have had to click the cloud icon for each song....really, my hand is about to cramp. Is there a restore all function for non-purchased songs? If not, it needs to be added to the Match software.
Thanks

Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud. Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Is there a way to download all songs from the cloud in one step?

Is there any way to download all my songs from the cloud in one step?

Ok, if you're wondering about an iOS device, there is no way to do that - you have to tap all of the cloud icons.
But I do have a workaround.
Store all the songs all locally on your Mac
Disable iTunes Match on your iOS device
Plug your iOS device into the computer (or this can be done with Wifi sync)
Sync all songs to your device
Now enable iTunes Match on your iOS device
You now have all songs stored locally on your iOS device and iTunes Match is enabled, so your metadata syncs over iCloud, and you no longer have to plug your device in to update its music library. :)
