Can I use iTunes Match for 2 iPhones with different music, same account?

My wife and I each have an iPhone and share an iTunes account.  We share a master music library but each manually manage our music on our iPhones.  So she has certain songs on her phone and I have different ones on mine, both coming from the same master library.  I'm trying to figure out if I can use iTunes Match in this scenario.  I don't want to see her songs on my iPhone.  Is there a way to only see music on my iPhone if I use Match or am I stuck seeing my entire library on my iPhone?

I think I'm getting it finally, thanks for the clarification.  So at least I know there is a way to not see all music in my library from my iPhone. 
So in my case i have about 800 songs on my iPhone out of about 1600 on my iTunes library.  If I'm understanding correctly I would have to enable Match on my iPhone, then turn off the "show all music" option.  This in turn should leave me with my original 800 songs listed which I woud then have to download from the cloud.  Once I have all of my 800 songs back down from the cloud I won't be required to download them again from that phone. 
A worse scenario would be that I enable Match, and then have to find my 800 songs out of the total 1600 manually from the list and then download them from the cloud.
Which scenario is correct?

  • Restored iPhone, signed in with wrong apple ID & can't use iTunes Match for 33 days!!u

    Hi,
    When I connected my iPhone 5 to itunes it said it couldn't read the device and I had to restore it.
    After I did this I signed in with my primary Apple ID, that I use for iCloud,  Mail, iMessage, Photo Stream etc. However most of my purchases & iTunes Match have been made on another Apple ID (that I used before iCloud was introduced)
    Now when I try and turn on iTunes match using this ID I get a message saying:
    "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days.  This device can be used with another Apple ID in 33 days"
    This is very very frustrating as I didn't realise what I had done when signing into the iPhone. I have sent a message to Apple to see if they can reset this before the 33 days so I can sign in with the correct ID for match.
    Anyone else had a similiar problem? I hope that there will be away in future of merging ID's so that this problem doesn't happen - I'm sure it's very common!
    Thanks
    Steven

    Yes, I did as you suggested and signed into the iTunes store with the Apple ID I use for purchases and iTunes Match.
    When I attempt to turn on iTunes match I am given the following message:
    "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days.  This device can be used with another Apple ID in 33 days"
    I believe this happened after I restored my iPhone5(as requested by iTunes) and logged back into the device with the incorrect ID, which was then set up to use for iTunes & App Store Purchases.
    When I then logged out of this ID and tried to use the correct ID, it was then that I received the message saying I cannot use it!
    If you think there is something else I can do to resolve this then please let me know.
    However, I have sent an email to Apple explaining what has happened.  If they have good procedures in place, they should be able to see my iTunes account(s) and the devices associated with it.  Remove the iPhone from the Apple ID that is is currently assocaited with and then I will be able to associate with the correct ID.
    It seems very straight forward!

  • HT4914 Can I use Itunes match for my movies as well?

    if not, can I could use iCloud, but I would have to pay for it, even if I bought them at itunes, right?

    iTunes Match only applies to music. If you mean that you want to stream your movies rather than having to download them to your device, that to the best of my knowledge is not possible, at least as of this time.
    Regards.

    iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Not really, no. I suppose in theory, but there is no way to manage the library, or retrieve the match contents for back up or other purposes.

  • Can I use iTunes Match on my Sonos with my iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use iTunes Match on my Sonos with my iPhone and iPad?

    I have Sonos. No, it won't use iTunes match. It will allow you to stream your itunes media, but only the files you have on a hard drive on your network.
    ETA: It does let you play other internet services such as Spotify though.

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

    Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

    iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!

    Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!
    - Music was purchased outside of iTunes store
    - On a vacation
    - iPhone 4 has all my music
    - No access to iTunes
    - Want to buy a new iPhone 5s on vacation but this is holding me back

    Honestly, I've never used iTunes Match.
    Keep in mind that iTunes Match is only for music, any other media content would not be affected.
    Also, pictures synced to the device from a computer will not be moved over unless the new device is restored from a backup on that computer.
    Personaly, unless the current iPhone was damaged or otherwise acting as if on it's last leg, I'd wait.  There may be better options in 3 months.

    Hi!

    From this Apple KB article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914>. 
    You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.
    So, yes, or a PayPal account.

    Can I use iTunes Match without Genius turned on?  Genius is fine but Match then sends me additional music to my Libary that I don't want

    Without a computer you will not be able to do any managing of the music in the cloud. There is no way to edit any metadata on an iOS device.
    Also, iTunes Match is not a backup service and should not be relied up as such. With no computer you will not have any backups of your music.
