4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works

I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.

Hi randy_m,
If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

ITunes Match No Longer Works With iTunes 11.1.4.62

After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works. It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? What can I do to remedy this problem?

So I'm guessing that there is no fix for this error? I see that this patch has caused complete disaster for not only me but for lots of other people as well. Tell us how to fix our issues or release a new patch!

WiFi, Keynote on 4th Gen touch, and Projector

I have a project coming up. In one corner of the room will be my 17" MacBook Pro with Keynote, hard-wired to a projector, and showing a slideshow (loop - no need to manually do anything). I have a VZW WiFi device with good reception/coverage at the site. If I download/purchase Keynote for my 4th gen touch, will I be able to - via WiFi - "control" my MacBook Pro and change slideshows from across the room? And/or edit a show on my touch (just text slides) and get it onto the projector?
Sorry if I am either (a) missing very basic concepts, or (b) not being as clear as I should be.

The Apple server a likely overloaded with the IOS 8.3 update.
You can try using these instructions but select iOS 6.1.6 for the 4G iPod. If yo select any other file you will get errors:
How to Install iOS 8.1.3 Update on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Use the Step 5 update using iTunes instructions but download the iOS 6.1.6 firmware for the 4G iPod. Note that if you try to restore to earlier than 6.1.6 you will only get errors

How can I resolve iPod Touch 4th gen charging and iTunes connection issue?

I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and the other day it stopped charging. When I pug it in, it appears to be receiving a minimal charge to keep it alive, but isn't restoring the battery life and doesn't show that the battery is accepting the charge. After plugging it in for a day, the battery was only partially charged to approximately 20%. I've tried several USB cables and different plug-ins to no avail.
Then I tried to connect it to the computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Apple Device Manager and iTunes software, and resetting the iPod. I've also tried holding the sleep and home buttons at the same time while connecting the iPod to the computer with iTunes software open. Nothing seems to work. I have other iPods/iPhones that connect to iTunes without issue, so it is isolated event with this iPod Touch. I was hoping to restore the iPod to its original settings to see if that would do the trick, but am unable to figure out how without iTunes. Any suggestions? help!

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and/or
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Tring to update the software on a 4th gen touch and I get an error and then stops downloading. It is very slow to download, says 9 hours for 847MB, is this normal?

I have a 4th gen ipod that a friend gave me and he forgot the passcode. So I am in recovery mode and trying to update the software. It is a 847MB file and it says its going to take 9 hours, but then I get an error and stops downloading. When you restart, it goes from zero. Is any of this normal. Is there a faster way to update the software?

Does anyone know 1) why iTunes Match no longer works, and 2) how to fix it?

OK, I've been happily using iTunes Match and iCloud to synch between my PC and my Ipod Touch for quite some time. But just last week or so it simply stopped working. Specifically, I copied some music from a CD to iTunes, tried to synch via iCloud but everything kept getting hung up in iTunes Match. I tried turning Match off then back on--still did not work. What's going on? I changed nothing in my PC or my Ipod--everything worked beautifully before. Now it's like Apple has turned into Windows!

What exactly is the problem that you are having ? Is it with downloading the iTunes program itself, or redownloading your purchases ?
If iTunes itself then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If it doesn't download then have you tried a different browser, and/or tried changing the settings on the browser that you are using e.g. turn off 'pop-up blocker' ?
If you've installed iTunes and want to download your past purchases, then what you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
But ideally you'd have your own backup copy of all your downloads/library (and not relying on redownloading), a song/album etc could be removed from the store at any time.
If you will be syncing your iPad and iPhone to that computer then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

ITunes Match no longer working

Wow. I don't even know where to start with this. But here's the problems I am having- I am hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction. I've been trying for a few weeks to get this straightened out and am still quite stuck.
I had iTunes match successfully running, with @35,000 tracks. But about a week ago I could no longer "see" anything that is in the cloud- my computer at work will only show the 12k songs on my hard drive.
Things to know:
1)I no longer have the cloud icon showing to the right of Music in the iTunes viewer window.
2) I've tried selecting Update iTunes Match. I've selected Turn Off iTunes Match, and then Turn On iTunes Match numerous times.
3) Checked to make sure iCloud Download and iCloud Status is enabled in the View Options.
4) iTunes Match shows up below iTunes Store, and it is stuck in that Start process. I can start it, it acts like it is going thru the process, then sends info to Apple, then goes back to the same view (iTunes Match, with the three steps and the Start button)
5) I've tried accessing my iTunes match songs from 3 different computers now, and I am getting the same results.
6) iTunes knows that I have more than 25k songs in the cloud because I get the nag screen New songs could not be uploaded because I've exceeded the 25k limit now. (In fact, that nag screen shows everytime I launch iTunes, even though I've toggled the box Do not show this message again)
7) On my computers, 99% of all of my songs now say Exceeded Limit in their iCloud Status collumn, even when they are songs bought thru the iTunes store.
8) I've tried reinstalling iTunes 10.5.2 a few times now.
9) Hide music not on this computer is not on. But for good measure, I've tried selecting it, and then reversing it just to see if that changes anything. It doesn't.
I'm totally at a loss here. Anyone been thru this before and figured out what I might need to do? I am highly frustrated that I currently can't find 2/3rd's of my music library.

An effective way to work with such a large library is to operate on the assumption that iTunes Match will fail to 'match' a significant proportion of the library.
Songs most likely to match are more recent Songs from iTunes or good quality CD rips (256 kbps).
From your symptoms it is worth starting afresh, hence:
1. Start by restoring your original library with iTunes Match off from a secure backup;
2. Create Smart Lists to segment your library into Songs recorded in c.5 year blocks;
3. Export from each Smart List to a discrete directory for each 5 year block;
4. Create a new library, import from the 1st 5 year block;
5. Turn on iTunes Match and allow the 3-step process to complete;
6. Create a Smart List for those Songs with an iCloud status of Matched;
7. Save the contents of the Smart List to a discrete Matched Songs Directory;
8. Delete the Matched Songs from the Library and the iCloud;
9. Import the next 5 year block and repeat process from Step 5 until all Songs have Uploaded.
The result will be a library with all your Songs uploaded using the iTunes Match service and a set of directories containing all the Songs the you know will match.
At this stage the next step depends on the size of your library. Given that you can only upload 25k Songs per library, with luck you should have a match rate that has allowed this.
Given that Matched songs do not add to this total you should now be able to import the Matched songs in 5 year blocks to the same library - allowing iTunes Match to complete for each set loaded until the full library is available.
If, however, you have hit the 25k Song limit - you should delete the last 5 year block to bring you back to a legal level. Create a new library and complete the steps above for the Songs over the 25k limit on the new library. This will give you two legal sized libraries with iTunes Match in successful operation.
Throughout, taking care to ensure secure backups are taken at each step is important to allow you to recover should iTunes Match at any stage have a problem - there are many potential pitfalls including file types that it may not like, interference from firewalls / antivirus software, corruption of files at source / in transmission.
The final result should be very good - though the 25k Song limit may frustrate you given the size of your current library.

ITunes Match no longer working: error -9810

Hi,
I've been using iTunes Match for several months on my 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.4. It's taken ages to upload my music (in stages) to the iCloud, but now my library of just over 25,000 tracks is nearly all in the cloud with <900 tracks left to upload. But in the last fortnight I haven't been able to continue with the upload. Initially I was getting an 4010 error message when processing step 1. Now the message is error -9810.
My iCloud files are still accessible on my iPad and iPhone, but I cannot get passed Step 1 on the MBP.
I've read suggestions for fixes and tried logging out and back in. It still gives the same error.
Also, Genius no longer is functioning. I turned it off and back on, and when I try to update it gives me a -9810 error as well.
The iCloud system status page indicates the servers are running ok, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help?
Chris

I seem to have discovered the issue was related to my routers firewall. Sometimes my router plays up and becomes restrictive. I've noticed this before when I get 'strict NAT' errors on my xbox.
I reset the router and it seems to have opened up the connection and allowed the itunes match process to continue.

ITunes Match no longer works

Hello,
I've been using iTunes Match since it came out and it was perfect ! Until ... Tuesday.
Like every week I've been adding new music to my library and then send it to the cloud throught iTunes Match. But for some reasons the sync failed.
So I did try again and now iTunes Match is stuck in step 2 and some songs cannot be matched ( songs that I was trying to send when the sync failed ), when I try to sync I-M with another song who weren't there before, I-M stuck in step 3 and does not upload the song, just freezing on step 3.
I tried some many things :
Restore old library
Sign Out - Sign In - Reboot
Others connections
If some people does have an idea, thank you very much.

It appears Apple is having server problems. Check out these current threads of people reporting same issue:

HT1449 Does this mean that ITunes Match no longer works since the music is in the external hard drive?

Once you put your ITunes into an external hard drive, will ITunes Match still work? MIne isn't loading. What a drag!

DebraLP wrote:

What exactly does this mean? What is (or is not) happening?
iTunes Match really has nothing to do with where the iTunes library is stored on your computer. It simply keeps a copy of those songs it can recognize in the cloud for you.
If you describe the symptom, perhaps we can answer you better.

Hello,
I have very similar problem. Suddenly Firefox stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked.
- uninstalled firewall - did not worked
- added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - did not worked
- Firefox reinstall - did not worked
- Firefox complete reinstall (registry included) - did not worked
- IPv6 diseabling - did not worked
- diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - did not worked
- new firefox profile - did not worked
- complete coockies, history... deleted - did not worked
- there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my included.
- IE is working perfectly and without proxy
- other companies browser - did not worked too
- only IE is working
- I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
Any ideas, solutions?

Thanks everyone for the help

Itunes match doesn't work with newest verstion of apple tv software

Hi,
I recently updated my software on my 3rd gen apple tv, and itunes match doesn't work anymore - I get the screen that it is retrieving information about my library and that it can take a few minutes. Well, it after a few hours it still doesn't end retrieving. This has been happening since I updated my software over 2 weeks ago. Any solutions? Thanks!

Hi, I had the same problem. I changed countries on the Apple TV. This logged me out of my account. When I reverted back to my country and logged back in on the Apple TV, it worked (almost) without problem.

Can't crate new playlists in iTunes or add content to 4th gen touch

I have a 2009 MBP 17" 2.93 IC2Duo, running OSX10.9.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.
itunes will let me create a playlist name from the pulldown menu, but not from the '+' down at the bottom of the screen. The setting Icon doesn't work down there either. When I drag a file, single track or album over to add to the playlist, the box is highlighted, but the icon just floats over the top of it and tracks with the cursor until I hit ESC and then click (then it slides back to the catalog list).
this is the same result if I try to drag music onto a 4th gen touch. its been reformatted, home shared, purged and whatever the **** else you can do to it to clean it , but still no dice.
can i get the option to reload iTunes? when i ask for update i get the ole the ver. is current window.
anyone got any thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

For some reason, I can't switch the order of my tracks in iTunes DJ. If I click on a track and try to drag it to a new position, it won't work.
Select all teh tracks in iTunesDJ and press Delete.
It will immediately re-populate.

I have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

i have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
