When i first purchased songs (entire cd), songs showed up in my macbookpro itunes library. Now some of the songs i purchased have a cloud next to them. I thought I had my cloud turned off. Aren't they on my device?
MacBook Pro, iOS 11.2, iphone 8
You cannot turn off iCloud for purchased content. Unhidden, undownloaded content will show with a cloud symbol. Either you've actively removed local downloads, not synced/transferred purchases. or content that was downloaded is no longer being recognized as such. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash if content has gone unexpectedly cloudy.

You need to click on the Could symbol to get them onto your Mac. Check your iCloud settings.
Sorry about that. It’s my first question post and I didn’t realize I selected the wrong section to post.
Thank you. Not sure what I did. Sometimes the whole iTunes is confusing to me. Like why does it create another playlist (duplicate) when you add an extra song to existing list? So I might have prince, prince1, prince2 etc. What will happen if I delete the duplicates? Is that ok?
The duplicate playlists thing is clearly a bug. I do all my edits in iTunes so I don't generally have any issues there. It should be safe to remove duplicates as long as you do it in one place and then sync. If you dedupe in both the library and the device you may find that syncing then wipes out the remaining copies.

This is the Mac Pro desktop section you are talking about the MacBook pro laptop you need to move this if you want help
Thanks! That solved problem. I was curious as to why it only did it on some songs. Also, these are songs I have had on my iPhone for several weeks (and initially the little cloud wasn’t there).
