Why do I have to download my songs on my iphone everytime I want to play them, instead of having a normal play option?

When i go to play songs on my iphone instead of the play symbol there is a download symbol from icloud, so if i have no signal i cant download the song to play it? Is there any way i can opt out of this?

You do not.  iTunes Match will not alter local Song files.  Any Song that was local in your library will still be there.
The advantage of iTunes Match is that the Songs will also be available on up to 10 other devices.

    Why doesn't my computer download the songs from my iphone with clouds next to them?

    You can copy iTunes purchased songs over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or have you tried going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and seeing if you can redownload them on your computer ?

  • I have just downloaded two songs from Itunes, and when I try to put them on my iphone they will not go there. There is an icon showing; which is a red ring with a cross through it?

    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • Why do i have to pair my bluetooth head phones every time I want to use them?

    Every time I want to use my Philips Bluetooth head phones, I have to unpair them and then pair them again. They say connected in blue tooth settings, but no audio is coming through.  Worked flawlessly with my RAZR Maxx. This is something I use a lot, and may make this phone a return.

        Yikes, I know how important it is to have the bluetooth working with out any issues, jwennrn. Are you still trying to use the bluetooth with the Droid Razr Maxx or with a different phone? Was there any new updates or applications that were downloaded when you noticed this problem started? Please keep us posted. I'm eager to work with you to get this working again.

  • HT5731 how to download a song from my iphone to my laptop

  • Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?, Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?

    Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes? I thought the purpose of purchasing from itunes when you have icloud is that you don't have to download each song/album that you want to hear.  I get like 5-10 songs from the last two albums i have downloaded, but not the entire album.

    Are you talking about iTunes Match?  If so, you don't have to download entire albums, all you have to do is play the songs you want to hear.
    If you're asking why you have to download the music at all rather than just playing it from iCloud, the music has to be stored locally on your device, either in permanent or cache memory, in order for your device to play it.

    I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic.  I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store.  I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

    You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    To copy other music to the computer see:

    My computer won't show any videos on safari because it says I need to update flash player. What is flash player and why do i have to download it? I thought flash player comes with your computer.

    1. A browser plugin for Flash content.
    2. Apple no longer bundles it with Mac OS X.

  • I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems.  Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded.  Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

    I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems.  Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded.  Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

    Updated the phone to IOS 7.1.1 but there was a problem with my computer.  Everything was removed from the phone but I couldn't get it back without help.  The tech helped me and everything is fine now except the music.  I did sync it and backed it up but wonder if I should restore backup.  I'm a little nervous to try that, what do you think.

  • Why do I have to download an attachment (lets say a picture) in my email each time I read the email?

    Why do I have to download an attachment (lets say a picture) in my email each time I read the email? When I have an internet connection, then it is not a problem with the exception of using the data plan and if the file is larger then it takes more time but when I don't have internet and I need to see the attachment...
    Thank You

  • Why do i have to manually fwd songs on my nanao

    why do i have to manualy forward songs on my nano

    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
    Backing up your media in iTunes.
    Please excuse the sermon, but we see far too many people lose their music because of no back up.

  • Why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view videos

    why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view video clips?

    If you have a new-ish Mac or one you just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. Since some web content is created specifically to be seen only with Adobe Flash Player, if you want to see that content, you need to install it.
    It's trivial to do so. Start here:
