How do I open up Icloud?

1) I'm trying to put my ITunes songs on ICloud by using ITunes Match.

How do I open up ICloud to see what is in there? I want to see what is actually there - which of my songs from my ITunes library are there.

I have an IMac. I just recently downloaded Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 before I did the iTunes Match and iCloud. (I previously had Snow Leopard OS).

2) My playlists in ITunes now have 4 lines (a musical bar) and a musical note to the left of the name of each playlist. Does that mean the playlist is in ICloud? If not, what does it mean?

I just found out that you go into icloud.com

I just did that and signed in. My iCloud does not show any songs. It shows icons for mail, for contacts, for reminders, a calendar, and there are also a few other icons, (all empty because I did not put anything in them on the cloud). But there is no icon for ITunes or for music. Where are my songs? How do I find them on iCloud?

You cannot, and are not supposed to, view you music at iCloud.com. You view your music on your devices that have iTunes Match enabled.

1) OK, but how do I know which of the songs I have in ITunes is also on the icloud?

2) I have another question.

I have added a song to my ITunes Music. (On my IMac). I then tried to add that song to one of my playlists on ITunes (again on my iMac). But it would not do it. I received a message that says:

"icloud playlists can only contain songs from your icloud music library. If you continue then

(this particular playlist)

will be removed from icloud and will only be available on this computer."

How can I get this song on icloud so that I can then add it to my iTunes playlist?

Will it then let me add that song to the Itunes playlist if it is on iCloud?

Try enabling the iCloud column in your iTunes view to see the song's icloud status
