Q: HowTo: Delete Songs from iTunes on Mac from iCloud

Recently I purchased a MacBook which I am not too sure how to control yet. So therefore I have no idea how to remove songs that automatically downloaded from iCloud. I know how to get rid of them individually but I would love to know if there was just an easier way, such as being able to turn off iCloud, like I was able to do for my iPhone. Thank all, in advance.

Hey jaimemk,

 

Sounds like you want to disable Automatic Downloads within your iTunes preferences:

 

  1. Open iTunes.
  2. If you haven't already, authorize your computer for use with your Apple ID by choosing Store > Authorize This Computer.
  3. For Mac computers: Choose iTunes > Preferences and click the Store tab.
  4. You can enable/disable Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, or Books under Automatic Downloads.
  5. Tips:
    1. If you can't select the checkboxes, you will need to sign in to the iTunes Store with your Apple ID.
    2. If you're using OS X Mavericks v10.9 and iTunes 11.1, the Automatic Downloads preference for books has moved to the iBooks for Mac application. To enable Automatic Downloads for books, choose iBooks > Preferences > Store and select "Download new purchases automatically." HT4539_iTunes11_1_auto_download_pref-en.png
