Q: If I turn on iTunes Match and store my entire library in the cloud, does it only store music or does it move iBooks, tv, and movies, too?  Also, if I use Match, does it erase the files from my Mac?

Final question, if I turn on iTunes Match, can I just delete the iTunes files from my Mac's hardrive and keep everything in the cloud?  That way I can get back a lot of hard drive memory.

    iTunes Match is for music only.

     

    can I just delete the iTunes files from my Mac's hardrive and keep everything in the cloud?

     

    Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You should always have a backup of any important content in case something goes wrong, or the content owners remove a track from the iTunes Store as happens from time to time.

     

    Regards.
