Help needed using ITunes Match for Music and freeing up space on IPad?

I have moved my music from IPad to ITunes Match Cloud. I find that it is just copied there and is still on my IPAD. I am trying to free up space on my IPad so do I delete the music on my IPad, or do I delete the music on my IMac and sync to remov

King Penguin's advice is always sound, spot on and he has really give you the best all around solution for what you want to do....but you can also delete your music directly from the iPad and download it again when you want it again. These days, not all people use iTunes with their iPads and many iPad owners dont even own computers. I assume that you do have a computer running iTunes since you asked about iTunes Match, but since you didn't know how ITM works, maybe you don't own a computer, so I'm just offering another alternative.
You can go to Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage>Music and remove music in there via the Edit button as well as swiping across songs or albums in the music app in order to get the red delete button. If you want to download the music again, just go to the purchased tab of the iTunes app, tap on Music, Not on this iPad and all of your purchased music will appear. You can also go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All Music>on. That will make all of your music in the cloud appear in the music app and you can tap on the cloud icon in order to download the songs again.
The only caveat to this solution is that of the music is no longer available in the iTunes Store, you cannot download it again. On occasion, things do get removed from the iStores, so it is possible that could happen.

to enhance your battery life, keep screen display to minimum, set screen lock automatically after 1 min, select internet notifications to off.

Problem in using 2 IDs for iTunes music purchase downloads and using iTunes Match for 1 ID

Dear support managers,
We are using 1 macbook pro and 2 apple ID for purchasing iTunes music together (Me and my wife).
Actually, I have bought 1 year service of iTunes match on my apple ID and have been using well the service after download the purchased musics under the apple ID I am using.
But once my wife associated the macbook pro with her apple ID to download the musics she purchased,
I have not been able to use the iTunes Match service I have subscribed already.
The message said
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days"
I can neither purchase another computer for solving this situation nor want to purchase another iTunes Match service on my wife's apple ID.
Please help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks and best regards,

Hi,
You can only use one Apple ID with iTunes match. Purchasing another match subscription using wife's Apple ID is not a solution. I can only suggest that you use your ID for match and all iTunes music purchases.

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!

Is there anyone out there who has used iTunes Match for a large music collection who actually likes and recommends it?

I have over 16,000 custom selected songs in my library. It's the most important thing on my computer by far. Before I purchase Match, I would like to know if other users really like it.
When you purchase Match and all your tunes have been matched or uploaded, what do you do with your current iTunes library?
It's my understanding that you can stream tunes through your Mac computers but that you have to download them to an iPad, iPod or iPhone if you play the tunes through them, right?
When iTunes Match matches the tunes, does it put them where you had them prior to the match. I.e., will your library look the same as when you started?

When you purchase Match and all your tunes have been matched or uploaded, what do you do with your current iTunes library?
You need do nothing with it. You can keep it on your hard drive to access locally.

Yes, that's correct.

It presents the library as it was originally on my hard drive, but then I don't have my library's organization customized.

iTunes- How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match

How do I use home sharing for music and apps from different devices that already have Apple IDs? We have music from CDs and iTunes.

We have a iPhone 3G used as an touch, a 4S and 2 5s that I would like to share the music and possibly the pictures but i dont know how to set it up since we all have our own Apple IDs. Please help.

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

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.

Help needed using CSS positioning for movie/text

I have been deconstructing a few sites to get a better
understanding of CSS for a simple portfolio.
Anyway, I have a simple navigation set up in place which I
want to place my movie next to. The problem is that I can't work
out how to place it next to the buttons...
The url to the site is:
http://www.notjustthenews.co.uk/page8.html
Once I've done that I want to place a paragraph of text to
the right of the movie so that if you resize the browser window the
text wraps around the movie.
Any help would be most appreciated.
The CSS is question is:
#wrapper{

My iPhone is currently set up on a laptop where I use itunes to sync music and apps, I have a new laptop and want to connect it to that but am worried I will lose everything? Will this happen? If so can anybody give me advice on what to do?

At the moment I am unable to update my phone to any new software as I still have the software from when I first got my iPhone4. I would be very grateful if somebody had some advice for me on what I can do as I have a lot on my iPhone including songs, albums, games etc. and i really don't want to lose anything but I have heard connecting to a different laptop will wipe everything.

Thank u verrrrrrrrrrry much FoxFifth u save my life thank u.

How can I disable itunes on my iphone 4s? I don't use it for music and need to prevent it from automatically activating when I plug in to my vehicle.

How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s? I don't use the phone for music, and I need to prevent it from automaically playing music when I plug the phone into my vehicle. I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.

iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.

Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

ITunes Match for selected music

Hello everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying your holiday, whatever it may be
Here's a tricky one for you. I've thought about this for a long time, but I can't figure a way to do it, so maybe someone knows of a way. So, I use my MBP for my dj gigs, and I have one iTunes music collection in a external drive that I carry along containing it. This collection contains only music that I use to play when working, mostly electronic stuff, mostly singles and EPs.
Then, at home, the iMac has the main iTunes library, with all genres and all the stuff I listen on a daily basis, but not music I use for work, and this machine is registered with iTunes Match. Now, I would like to have the tracks I use for work to also be in the cloud, but I wouldn't want to mix them up with my general music collection, and even worst, I wouldn't want the iTunes library in the MBP to become filled with rock and classical music that I never play at my gigs.
Hope you are getting what I mean. Do you know of any way I could have all tracks in iTunes Match (general music and work music) but only have each to show up on their respective machine? Or is iTunes Match a "entire-collection-or-no-collection" kind of deal, and once you authorize one computer to your account you can't control what tracks will end up in it?
Thank you so much for reading!

Now that we're in the topic, could you help me with one more thing? So let's say I merge both libraries and upload my "work" tracks to iTunes Match. Having in mind that I have lot's of metadata associated with those tracks, like comments that describe the track's mood, key, bpm and a lot more, which are essential when I'm looking for the next track to play, what will happen to that metadata if for some reason the local copies are deleted and I need to get them again from iTunes Match? Do they maintain all the metadata? Or will I get just the file with basic metadata like title, artist and a couple more?
It's just that I have so much time invested in adding info to the tracks that I don't even want to think about losing all that
Thanks a lot.

ITunes match for a large number of devices, 4 people, and as a backup solution.

I am interested in using iTunes match for two central reasons:
1. Backing up my music library. Is iTunes Match an solution for this? Or not really? I get the fact that my purchases are protected, but what about the music I uploaded from purchased CD's.
Question: Can I consider iTunes Match at $24.99/year the cost of backing up 60GB of music to the cloud?
2. Sharing my music library across a number of devices. We are a family of 4 with farily extensive MAC, iPhone, iPad usage, including ...
1 iMac (Music server), 3 Power books (Indivudal work machines), 2 iPads, Apple TV, and 4 iPhones. We have 4 Mobile me accounts, moving to ICloud.
The problem I have is that I can never effectively coordinate the music library across the devices. 80GB of iTunes library is too much to load across all the devices and I never seem to have the song I'm looking for at the time I desire it on a particular device, other then the family iMAC server which has the whole library on it.
Question: Seems like iTunes Match is an ideal solution, but can it handle the diverse spectrum and number of devices I have? Ideally I want to thnk of iTunes Matchas, 1 central library avaialble on all devices, all the time.
Thank you in advance for any opinions.

Think of iTunes Match as a central library from which "satellite" libraries can pull any time they have an Internet connection.
Functionally, if all those devices are in your house, iTunes Match doesn't give you much that Home Sharing doesn't already offer. With Home Sharing all your Macs can easily "fill in the gaps" from the "master" library. Of course, that requires that the machine with the "master" library is always online and iTunes is always running on it, which might not be the case. AppleTVs and iPads sync to that "master" library and so what is on them is configured from the master library computer, not the device itself.
What iTunes Match offers you is:
1. Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you don't have to have a home server up and running iTunes at all times.
2. Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you can update from it any time you have an internet connection, not just when you are at home.
3. The workflow for updating from the canonical library is much better than the clunky "Home Sharing" interface.
4. Any "matched" songs (I found that in my library only about 65% were successfully matched; I'm not sure why) will be available at 256kbps AAC, which might be higher quality than what you have in your library currently (especially if you have imperfections like CD skipping, etc, in the tracks). Of course, anything iTunes can't match to its own library will remain just as imperfect as ever.
The downside (versus Home Sharing) is:
1. Everything needs to get copied onto a device from the Internet, which is likely to take much longer than just Home Sharing over your home wireless network.
Seems like a pretty good system. I've signed up for it and am happy with what I've seen so far.
