I have itunes match and my phone is still filled with songs and have no room for anything else. Must be a set up issue since I assumed all songs would be in the cloud and not on my phone.

Match backs up your music in iCloud, it does not remove it from the phone. It still needs to be on the phone if you want to listen to it.

  • ITunes Match and iCloud accounts are different.

    I bought my mom this iPad Air 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to get it so that she can have access to my iTunes Match account. I made the account on my AppleID so I can control the library for them. When I first set up her iPad, all her pictures and stuff were there. Then I changed the settings so that she could access the iTunes Match account, it still is using her AppleID for her iCloud but now it's my AppleID in the iTunes for the iTunes Match access and her pictures are no showing up anymore.
    I'm SURE there has to be a way for iTunes Match to use my ID for that and still load all her pictures from her AppleID from her phone... right?
    I should clarify, on my AppleID I don't have any apps, nor do I have an Apple product, I only signed up for an AppleID so that I could use it to get iTunes Match and control the playlists for them and everything. So she's logged in to her AppleID for iCloud and logged into my AppleID for the iTunes Match account. The pictures are all gone now though.

    It stays on your phone until you delete it.  If you download a song, album or artist, you can delete them by swiping across the title and tapping delete.  If you play a song without downloading it, it is stored in cache memory on your phone.  As you phone starts to reach full capacity, older and less frequently played songs begin to automatically be deleted from cache.  Or, to remove them all, occasionally go to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

  • I have moved from the UK to the USA and have a new phone, I try to change my country location on the store and get an error message saying I have to cancel my itunes match and have a pass incomplete, any ideas?

    I have moved from the UK to the USA and have a new phone, I try to change my country location on the store and get an error message saying I have to cancel my itunes match and also that I have a pass incomplete, any ideas how to fix and change the store. It is becoming a problem with getting some USA aps and content
    Thank you
    Tom

    iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

  • HT5637 now that I have subscribed to iTunes match and synched with my phone, I assume that all the music stored on my phone is now stored in the cloud.  Can I now delete the tunes on my phone so that I regain storage space?

    Now that I have subscribed to iTunes Match and synched my phone, I'm assuming that my 6.9GB of music and 2.3 GB of videos are stored in the cloud and accessible to my phone for listening or watching.  Can I now delete them from my phone so that I regain the 9.2GB of storage space?

    Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

  • I have iTunes Match and I have three problems.

    1)  I am unable to add my "Holiday Music" playlist to my iPhone.  I deleted the playlist "Christmas Music" and added "Holiday Music".  I manually drag and dropped it to my iPhone on iTunes, but the content never showed up.  I have tried just about everything I can think of.  By the time I get my music on my iPhone, Christmas will be over.  Very frustrated.  Someone suggested I do it manually and I did.  Still didn't work.  When I went to play one of the Albums under "Albums", it asked me if I wanted to download the songs.  I have already downloaded them once, why do I have to keep downloading them and will that cause me data usage with Verizon?
    2)  When I do play my music from my iPhone it jumps all over the place.  First it plays song #4 then #11, then #24.  Looks like I am only getting a fraction of my songs that I have in my iTunes.
    3)  My daughter and I share an account (of course, because I pay).  I do get email notification when she buys something, but I don't see them under my "Purchased" playlist all the time.  I do "Check for Available Downloads", but they don't always show up there.  I have to make a copy of the iTunes email and then ask to download them again.  If I didn't get that iTunes email, I wouldn't get to use those songs she buys with my money.
    I'm thinking I don't like this "iTunes Match", so far.  Way too hard to play my music.  Thanks for whatever advice you can give me.  THX, Lynn Z

    Thanks Michael for your quick response.  However, the following still exists:
    1)  I created a playlist in my iTunes entitled "Holiday Music".  I have waited for days and it has never appeared on my iPhone.  I even tried to sync it with USB and although it showed up under "On my Phone", it did not show up on my iPhone.  I still can't find it anywhere on my iPhone.
    2)  Yes I hit "shuffle".  However, after reading your response above, I tried not hitting shuffle and the bluetooth in my car when haywire.  It scanned through my music and stopped whenever it wanted to.  Plus, when  I got in the car, I went to my playlist and checked "download all".  I had to wait about 15 minutes before the playlist began playing.  When it did, the first song played a couple of seconds and then waited a couple of seconds, and then did the same throughout the entire song.  I figured it was because it was still downloading.  I can't have this.  It causes me anxiety because it bypasses songs I would like to hear.
    3)  As far as getting all the songs that my daughter and I buy, I will check out your recommendations above.
    Thanks for your help on these issues.  It is greatly appreciated.  I will try anything to get this thing to work before
    Christmas is over.  THX, Lynn Z.

  • HT204146 How can I subscribe to iTunes Match and have all of my 7,000+ songs on my iPhone?

    I bought a 128GB iPhone so I would have room for all my music. Now it's not actually there because I subscribe to iTunes Match. I don't want to have to download it over wifi/cell to listen to it. Should I just unsubscribe from iTunes Match? I don't use if very often.

    Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

  • If I subscribe to iTunes Match and later don't renew, will that impact the songs I've stored on my PC or phone or only the central storage in iCloud?

    If I subscribe to iTunes Match and later don't renew, will that impact my access to music I have stored on my devices or will it only end my access to the central storage in iCloud?  Thank you!

    It won't delete anything in your iTunes library on your computer but you would lose access to anything in your iTunes Match library that isn't stored in your iTunes library on your computer.  You would obviously need to sync your music to your phone from your computer using iTunes again.

  • HT5637 I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now?  Do I delete all music on my iphone and how do I then see the music that's stored in the cloud?

    Hi
    I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now.  Do I delete all the music on my iphone and ipad and if so how?  Once I've done that how do I find the music on the cloud on my phone/ipad?

    Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

  • HT204406 Does anyone else have to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and "Turn On iTunes Match" for it to become available and working on a second computer??

    Everyday I get to work and open iTunes. Everyday the iTunes Match logo next to my library is constantly working and never stops. The only way I can have access to my iTunes Match library is to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and "Turn On iTunes Match" immediatly after. It checks libraries and then everything is available.
    Is there a reason and a way to have my iTunes Match to work as soon as I open iTunes?
    The requirements are met:
    iTunes: 10.6.3 (25)
    OS X: 10.6.8
    Thanks
    Marc

    Thanks for the tip, unfortunately that did not work for me.  I turned off match and let it sit for over 3 hours and music never disappeared.  I made sure to turn off auto-lock so the iPhone/iPad didn't go to sleep and neither device ever cleared out the music so I just restored from iCloud backup.
    Now the other thing thats strange is I still have autolock turned off and both devices are sitting on the music app and on my iPhone I have the cloud icon going with the status bar and took 3 hours to get it complete the first time and then someone called me and foolishly answered the phone and then it started all over again.  On my iPad I don't see the cloud icon but i have the spinning wheel going in the corner for almost 24 straight hours now.  I have all my music/artwork back but none of my playlists so I am going to let both these devices sit until the spinning circle stops. 
    I do have a large library of just under 25,000 songs so maybe thats why its taking so long but I haven't had this issue before iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.

  • When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
    Help greatly appreciated.

    Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

  • I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
    Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
    ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • HT1296 I have set up a play list on iPad and I have iTunes Match and icloud. I have set up syncing between iPad and windows computer i want to sync the playlist from my computer to my ipod but the playlist isn't syncing across to the computer.

  • I am using iTunes Match, and wish to restore from the cloud to itunes. Why do I have to select one at a time to download?

    I am using iTunes Match, and had to restore all of my music (.3000 songs). Problem is, I don't see where can restore them all at once. I can do it for all purchased items from the Cloud, but not for songs/content that I added on my own from CD's. I have had to click the cloud icon for each song....really, my hand is about to cramp. Is there a restore all function for non-purchased songs? If not, it needs to be added to the Match software.
    Thanks

    Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud.  Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.
