Why are Iclouds songs in my Itunes Library?

I started to noticed that there are songs in my library that I did not purchase.  When I go to view info the storage says Icloud.  These are classic music that appeared in my Library out of now where and I've not recieved any bill for them nor do they show up in my recent purchased tab.  When I delete them, it ask are you sure you want to delete this song from Icloud?  Where is this pulling from? Where do I go to view or find these so called songs that I never purchased.  I'm curious that maybe somebody has stolen my user name or something.
Thanks.

It might be prudent to change your iTunes password and security questions.
You can create a smart playlist with all your undownloaded iCloud items like this:
This should make it easier to check for suspect items. You can turn on the column Purchased Date to show when items were purchased. Perhaps you can spot a pattern.

  • Why are the songs in my itunes library playing at slow speeds?

    Why are the songs in my library playing at slower speeds? They sound likean old casette player with rundown batteries?

    What are your hardware specs?
    OS, version of iTunes, etc....
    Is this on a computer or iOS device?
    iPods can change the playback speeds, but in iTunes on desktop/laptop, it could be caused by other programs.

  • There are no songs in my itunes library found when selecting autofill, and dragging songs into device does not do anything now what?

    when i hit auto fill under music it just says Itunes cannot add any song to "___'s Iphone" because no songs in your itunes library could be found.
    there clearly is an anbundance of music that I have been syncing all the time, I have not the slightest idea why it just stopped working, also when I try to manually click and drag songs into the device tab in itunes, NOTHING happens.
    any suggestions on how to fix it

    I have a very smilar problem. Recently imported my modest music collection from my old G3 CRT to a new Mac Mini by linking the two machines and then dragging the music library and songs over.
    iTunes works fine in normal screen mode, music library is all there and all songs are visible and play but when trying to play back with the Apple Remote it opens up iLife ok and lists the playlists. Click on 'Songs' it says that there are no songs in the library. Click on any playlist then it goes to 'Shuffle Songs' then 'Error has occured' It can't seem to see the music library.
    I put this question on iTunes and Mac Mini discussion and got:
    Some other people have had similar problems, you might see if the suggestions in this thread help:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=447043
    Tried but as yet no success. Tried re-naming the iTunes Music Library.xml and also deleting com.apple.frontrow.plist from Library and letting it rebuild without any luck.
    Any suggestions out there as how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

  • Why all the songs on my iTunes library do not synchronize onto iPod?

    There are about 200 songs on my iTunes library, but when I synchronize with my iPod, less than half of them end up on the portable device.
    What's wrong?

  • New Computer, Just Got iTunes.  Why Are 64 Songs Already In My Library???

    I just opened my brand new computer, installed iTunes only to find 64 songs - none of which i added or want - are already in my iTunes library.
    Why is this?
    Where did they come from, and how may I remove/delete them?

    Your iPod is set for automatic update, that's why you are getting the message about linking to another iTunes, it's asking if you want it to connect and auto-update. Obviously you don't want this to happen so you need to stop it auto-syncing so you can connect it to iTunes. Once it's safely connected you can change it to manual update until you have completed reloading your iTunes music.
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
    Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Go with whichever method you feel most comfortable. If at any point you are asked if you want to link your iPod to a new library, click No.
    Once you have that done, there are a number of third party utilities you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is a small selection.

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes

  • Why are there songs in my iTunes that I did not put there?

    I just checked on my iTunes music library and there are songs on it that I did not add?  I am the ONLY one that uses this computer.  I downloaded one U2 song from YouTube on 8/17/2014 and put it in my iTunes and now I seem to have an entire album from U2 in my library as of 9/6--Other than downloading that one song I did not attempt to do anything associated with U2 (searching for them in iTunes store, etc).  It also has the little cloud next to the songs.  I am sure I did not purchase anything from iTunes.  I still have only 16 cents (as I have for over a year) on my iTunes account and have no credit card on file.  Where would they come from? 

    If they have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud, not on your iPod. You can turn off the showing of iCloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all' heading) 'off'.
    But if you have never bought/downloaded those songs then they shouldn't show in the cloud for streaming/redownloading - the U2 album was an exception, Apple automatically added that to everyone's account whether they wanted it or not. It's your account that shows as being logged in in Settings > iTunes & App Store ?

  • Where are icloud movies in the iTunes library?

    I am currently running iTunes 11.0.1. Once I updated to iTunes 11.0.1. I was able to see all the movies, from the iTunes library, on my harddrive as well as in icloud, with the iCloud symbol shadowed. Now when I open my iTunes library, the only the movies that I see are the movies on my harddrive. The only way that I see them are in the purchased section of iTunes store. I feel like this is something simple that I am missing, can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi A Hanwell, thanks for that. That didn't work. When I click on View Options while in the movie , the only thing see is is the sort feature. To help elaborate, the iCloud icon on the top right side of the iTunes doesn't show anymore whether it is in the music, movie etc...

  • HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)

  • Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud?

    Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud icon?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
    Maybe a screenshot.

  • Why aren't all my songs in my Itunes Library, showing as in Cloud?  I have Match on

    Why aren't all my songs in my Itunes Library, showing as in Cloud?  I have Match on

    Hi,
    Can you explain what you have done whilst matching your library. I have explained in previous posts what you should expect to see.
    The tracks with the download icon are in the cloud but if they have the download icon, this would suggest that the originals are no longer on your computer. Where are the original files?
    Your original post was regarding tracks not in the cloud. If you create a smart playlist with any of the following criteria - iCloud status not = matched, not = uploaded and not= purchased, you will establish tracks not in the cloud. What do you see when you have done this?

  • I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not worked

    I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now showing on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not able to show any more.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.

    I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
    Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

  • What is iCloud?! I am trying to delete songs in my Itunes library and I follow the instructions and instead of deleting the song, it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!?! I don't even know what iCloud is?

    I need help deleting songs from my Itunes library. When I follow the instructions it ends up asking me if I am sure I want to hide this song in iCloud!? I don't even know what iCloud is!!!

    It's the online version of the song you are deleting from your library, if you hide it you won't see it any more.

  • Anyway to automatically relink random missing song files in iTunes library? Random songs have "!" while other songs in same album folder are fine.

    I can manually relink a missing song by navigating to the album folder in my iTunes media folder where all of my music is stored, but there are hundreds of "missing" songs in my 100+ GB Library. Any way to get iTunes to reconcile the library in a more automated fashion? I am fearful of solutions that may introduce a ton of duplicates.
    Would also like to know why this has happened so I can prevent it in future. Why are some songs in an album coming up missing and others in the same root folder playing fine?? It's not like my library is missing, 80% of my music is fine.
    My MAC iTunes library is organized by iTunes and all new media is copied into the iTunes folder (which I have "living" on an external USB 500GB hard drive, which I sometimes use with my PC Laptop when I travel - I don't do this often and it has never caused a problem before.)

    UPDATE: I contact the developer fo the iTunes Track CPR script just to give him some feedback. His reply, "
    Thanks for letting me know. CPR needs a good looking at. But have you tried "Music Folder Files Not Added"?
    http://dougscripts.com/466"
    I used that script and it found all of the MIA "missing" songs and then added them back to my iTunes library (took about 7 hours to auto add about 2000+ songs.) This process also created duplicates, but I was able to use the "Manage Duplicates" feature of iTunes under the File menu to see a list of all duplicates; then I deleted all of the songs with the"!" next to their names (took about 45 minutes.)
    So I think in the end this did save me a lot of time and aggrevation.
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chris!
