Nov 19, 2015 3:56 PM in response to lllaassby Thetabop,Illaass, Thanks for your reply. I had a VAIO laptop for many years. I ripped CDs to the Media Player for years. One day I decided that I wanted an iPod, so I converted my windows music files to apple format so I could sync with iPod. At some point I decided to subscribe to iMatch so I could access the entire library (over 800 CDs) via my iPhone. Now the VAIO laptop is no more. I recently purchased this MacBook Pro (and love it) and when I opened iTunes, all my music showed up (yay!). But apparently I don't have any actual files on the computer of my music; its all in the cloud. Therefore, my iPod Classic (purchased at the time for the 160 GB storage) won't sync. When I was warned that it (iPod) was synced with a different computer (VAIO) and all my music would be erased, I said, sure, so what, here's all my music. So iPod is now erased and I can't sync with the MAC (or rather, the cloud). I figure there must be a way to download from the cloud to the iPod, but Apple support said no, but I could with an iPod Touch. So I buy one (128 GB for $400!). But it won't sync either! Now A-support tells me that to retrieve music from the cloud I must connect my device (MAC and/or iPod Touch), choose the music (album, song, artist one at a time) and click on "make available offline" and then it will download from the cloud. I want the entire library to download with one action, even if it takes two days to download. So there's my whole situation and problem as I have come to understand it. Any suggestions? Thanks again for your time, Tom

and this
You can move already match songs from one computer to another computer but yo can't redownload already matched songs for the cloud to another computer.
