Why does match download on iOS devices?

I'm thinking about using iTunes Match (I currently use Google music), but from here
http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/itunes-match/ it states in the FAQ
"Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs."
So why does it download and stream on a iOS device, eg my iPhone and not just stream, which is my preferred option? Is there no way to only enable streaming and then I'll download the songs if I want to? I have unlimited data so not bothered on the Gb used for streaming.
I understand that others may want a choice to download, but I want the choice to only steam, is this possible? I chose Google music as it only streams if you want it to. The reason I wouldn't mind iTunes Match is I have iMac, Apple TV, iPhones etc so would be nicely integrated.
Thanks

So it does download them then and use up space on the iPhone. How will it tidy up the songs space used, for example. If I have a cache of songs, my iPhone fills up, I want to record some videos on the camera bit it will say staprage is full? How does iPhone manage this?
The music app will manage the cache. As it gets full songs that have not been played recently will be deleted from the cache. Although you are also able to remove all music manually.

Also on iTunes Match songs do they have all the meta data and lyrics that I've spent so long doing? Will the lyrics show up when playing on my iPhone?
Yes, most ID3 tags are supported. At this time lyrics aren't, though.

  • Why does firefox download as a device to be saved to?

    When I download Firefox 26 it acts as a device to be saved to on the Macbook Air.  Also every time I open Firefox a window opens but and warns of something but I cannot recall that uness I close everything down again, and I would have to redo this email.
    Thanks for any help.

    You need to mount the disk image and copy the appliction over to your Applications folder, or if it is a package installer (looks like cardboard box), double-click that.
    The warning you are getting is because it is running from a read only disk.
    Once you move the application, you can eject the disk image.

  • TS4124 What causes iTunes Match, on an iOS device, to lose the cloud icon next to each song?

    What causes iTunes Match, on an iOS device, to lose the cloud icon next to each song. On my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S one cloud shows up for a whole album to tap and download a whole album but the ones next to the songs are no longer there. No songs will delete from my phone once downloaded from the cloud by sliding my finger to the left over the song and tapping delete. Instead it just plays the song when I try to delete it. To delete my music from my device I have to go in to settings and delete all the music. This worked fine for the first week and then one day the cloud status next to each undownloaded song disappeared and started doing this.

    Try sync Music from iTune to your iPad again.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • HT1725 Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions.

    Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions. Is there a way to change that?

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

    When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
    I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

    I'm talking about the PAID FOR "Personal Hotspot" AT&T feature that comes with a 4GB dataplan. If you have a Jailbroken phone then this isn't for you.... Anyway, upgraded to IOS 5 and at the worst possible time I discovered that my phone no longer had the ability to share it's over the air data with my Laptop. Restarting the phone didn't help, turning cellular data on and off didn't help and after hitting a wall I called AT&T's tech support number as I had a strong suspicion what the problem was and that they'd be able to help. Despite explaining the problem and proposing a quick fix the agent made reference to an internal memo saying there are bugs in IOS 5 and that my lack of tether was an Apple software issue and I had to call them. Frankly in this case it's VERY MUCH an AT&T provisioning issue, and one AT&T should have their techs deal with in 30 seconds rather than waste customer's time pointing fingers. After a long and frustrating attempt to get the tech to fix the problem I ended the call by CANCELLING my tether plan and going back to the "Regular" 2GB plan. Reason being hat if it's an IOS bug then it will be weeks I'm paying for service that I'm not getting, or if I was right the problem would be fixed on my next call to AT&T. For giggles I called and spent a very miserable 40 minutes dealing with Apple's IVR and nice but dim tech who was more concerned that I didn't have Apple care than anything else. That call ended with Apple saying it's not them and I should call AT&T support... However, instead of beating my head against the wall again I called SALES and asked them to add 4GB data and teher to my phone. 5 minutes later I had working tether. Problem solved. Basically to enable tether the phone has to pass a sanity check that it hasn't been tampered with, and then to activate the feature a fil is pushed down over the air to "Bless" the iPhone. I suspect as part of the IOS upgrade something went out of whack with either the file or the anti-tamper checks. Solution was to reprovision tethering, but AT&T support wouldn't hear of it. So, if you have lost tethering after an IOS 5 upgrade and AT&T support won't help then the solution is pretty painless. A) call customer service (not tech support) and CANCEL your tethering and extended dataplan. B) Turn your phone off for 5 minutes, then wait another 30 mins or so and call SALES. Ask them to add Tethering and extended data to your account. C) Wait another 30 minutes, or if you're impatient you can try turning your phone on and off again, and you'll be back in business. The down side to the is is you pay for two data plans for this month, but get a credit for the overlap next month (ie net you don't lose out). Hoping AT&T reads this and stops wasting everyone's time by enabling 1st level support to deprovision and then reprovision tether without messing with billing. We can live in hope, but until then I hope this may help someone being bounced around in a game of "Blame Tennis". Once again AT&T = All Twisted & Tangled!

    Why does it say No bootable device Insert bootable device?

    Can i suggest you spend more time explaining the situation, what you are doing, what has been done recently, etc?   One sketchy line is not much help.
    That said, i will guess that yu are trying to turn on your mac, and it gve you that message, immediately.
    It means that soemthing has caused it to not recognize your hard disk and the OSX software on it.  It could be:
    1. a dmaaged disk
    2. corrupted software
    3. a firmware bug
    4. a hardware failure
    Most likely the software has been corrupted at least slightly.
    The best first step is to boot from your original CD and run disk diagnostics/ repairs on the hard drive.
    I hope that fixes it.
    Then go buy an external bootabl hard drive and begin making complete, bootable backups on  weekly basis.

    6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

  • Why does Adobe Download Assistant persistently reject my ID and password which have been in Adobe us

    Why does Adobe Download Assistant persistently reject my ID and password which have been in Adobe use for years?

    Yes, I'm able to login with my Adobe ID and password, and have done so for at least 15 years.  But the moment I use Adobe Download Assistant they're both rejected with "Error 100" without explanation.  I have tried to reset both on about 6 occasions over two days.  The rejection continues; no explanation.  In other words, I am refused a trial download of CS6 (pending later purchase).  I have had Photoshop since v3.0 and still have every version since then.  Frankly, Adobe has become a vast overfed amoebe with independently activated tentacles that are out of central control and disconnected from other parts of the empire.  This event has been happening to many other Photoshop loyalists, according to Google data, and it's becoming  more and more likely that I may abandon Photoshop altogether .  Meanwhile I'm continuing to use my CS5 and giving up any further attempts to acquire CS6.
