Q: download music into itunes from cloud
I want nothing to do with the Cloud. My phone was automatically put on the cloud with an account even though I specifically said I do not want it. Now my music purchased is automatically being put on the icloud and not directly on my computer hance when transfered to my phone it is on the cloud and I cannot access it if I don't have a strong signal. Also It is not on y hard dive on my computer but on the cloud so If I am on a plane I have no access to it. I have turned my phone completely of cloud but now it will not download music from itunes as it is not actually on my computer.
How do I get music off the cloud and on my computer and completely cut my computer from the cloud.
thank you

Music purchased from iTunes Store is always in the Cloud. That's where Apple stores it and that's where it starts out. If you want it on your computer you need to download it to your computer. If you buy it on your phone you can set it to be automatically downloaded to your computer too, or you can transfer it from your phone to your computer.

iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539 - "iTunes 10.3 3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later (iOS 5 or later for iPhone (CDMA Model)) enable you to automatically download purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, or iTunes Store instantly to your other computers and devices." Some items can only be downloaded once (e.g., audiobooks, ringtones, some movies) and you will have to transfer them from the device to which they were originally downloaded.
