Is it possible to sort songs after using iTunes Match?

When I used iTunes to sync my songs previously, everything's fine because I can do all in iTunes then press sync.
But with the use of iTunes Match, everything seems automatically done through the "cloud".
I can't even rearrange the order of my songs, like sorted by artists or names of the songs.
It's pretty a mess when viewing my playlist, the songs are disordered.
Is it the fact that we can't sort songs?
Thanks.

I didn't say "re-create" I said "restore from a backup." Restoring from a backup will place all the files just as they were right back where they need to be. This includes the .itl, .itdb ad .xml files iTunes needs to recognize that the files on the internal HDD are the same as the files in the cloud.
You do have a backup, don't you? If you don't then I strongly recommend you start backing up immediately.
If all else fails you can email iTunes Store support and ask them to reset your iTunes Match DB on the server. This will require your iTunes to go through the entire scan, match and upload process as if it were the first time.

  • After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".

    After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".
    I have deleted these songs and downloaded them from iTunes Match (they were "matched" and not "uploaded" files).  However, it still does not work.

    I have the same issue with 8 songs in my library. All are "Matched" and I've tried deleting them and redownloading them from iTunes Match, but they won't play in iTunes or transfer to any of my iDevices.

  • Hello Experts! I am trying to match up artwork that I created for my playlists in my iTunes library which looks fine in my iTunes but then only some of my artwork shows on my iPad after using iTunes Match, I either have blank artwork or the original.

    Hello Experts! I am trying to match up artwork that I created for my playlists in my iTunes library which looks totally fine in my iTunes library but then only only some of my artwork shows on my iPad after using iTunes Match, I either have blank artwork or the original artwork. Any ideas how I can make sure it’s all my artwork? Thank you if you do!

  • After loading music on my iphone it no longer appears in my phone after using itunes match.

    Meaning, I loaded music to listen to offline. Later in the evening I used itunes match so that I could acees my library from my phone while on a friend's wi-fi. When I switched back to listen offline, all of my songs were gone. Not only that, but they were replaced by songs that keep appearing in my playlists even after I delete them.
    Can I get a little help? I love itunes match, but hate this part of it.
    cheers

    I had this problem.  I held down the power switch to power down completely.  Takes a few seconds.  Then use the power switch to turn on.  Might take a couple goes.

  • Why are all of my artists/albums/playlists in random order after using iTunes Match?

    I enabled iTunes match some months ago.  I have almost everythign uploaded or matched from my library.  But when I open the music app on my phone all of the artists are in seemingly random order.  This is not an issue with the sort order naming in the meta data.  I have no idea what is causing it.  The artists, albums, everything is completely out of order.  Furthermore, a lot of the songs are completley misslabeled.  I will try to play a Death Cab For Cutie song for instance and it starts playing kanye west.
    Is there any way to completely redo my iTunes Match?  I can't seem to figure it out and I'm tired of a service that I am paying for giving me very little performance.

    If you have AppleCare on your iPhone then call Apple, it's baically the only way you will get help on that front. Tell them about the issues. After a little while of trouble shooting they should pass you to a senior technician.
    What trouble shooting have you done?
    If you haven't done so already, Apple will request you to do it while they have you on the phone. Also, do not restore from a backup, set it up as a new device.

  • If I upgrade my iTunes version AFTER using iTunes Match, will everything still be saved (in the cloud)?

    New to iTunes Match, using it in hopes of freeing up disk space.  Haven't had enough room to update iTunes to the most recent version that came out with iOS7, and now that I finally have enough space to upgrade iTunes, I'm worried my iTunes Match music will be wiped or that I'll have to start all over again.
    Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    Do make sure that you have a suitable back up before deleting tracks from your computer. Read this https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112.
    Updating to the latest version will not wipe itunes match music and you will not need to start all over. It is not usual for updates to cause problems but it alway good practice to maintain a back of all your music.

  • TS2830 is it possible to manually sync when using iTunes match?  sync 13019 error always when trying to copy

    I prefer to manage my transfers to my iPod myself.  I keep getting the 13019 error; software is up-to-date.  Google/Apple searches suggest only way to fix is to autosync the iPod - wiping off what is on it, including Podcasts.
    It is beginning to seem as though, perhaps by using Match, I have eliminated the possibility of manual sych. Is this correct?

    For some reason known only to Apple, only files downloaded through iTunes can be in the podcast section of iPod. As far as I know there is still no supported way around this.
    Occassionaly someone reports getting around issue by manually editing the file using a hex editor. This involves comparing iTunes downloaded file with non-iTunes downloaded file to find the difference. Once found, the equivalent setting in other files can be changed. I have never done it though.

  • After I download a 256 kbps song using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer at the higher bit rate once I turn ITunes Match off again?

    After I download a 256 kbps song from the cloud using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer once I turn ITunes Match off again? I have been using ITunes Match for awhile now to increase the bit rate on songs to 256 kbps.  Once I download the songs at the new bit rate, I turn off Match because I want to eliminate duplicates. Usually there is no problem. This time, however, 278 of my songs lost their file association and were unplayable unless I locate the song files within my computer.  These are songs purchased from Amazon.  In order to play them again in ITunes (Match is now off), I must locate each song file individually (I've tried to do it in bulk but have not succeeded) but now the bit rate has returned to the lower number BEFORE I matched the song.  I should have never used Match in the first place. Any ideas, anyone?

    I discovered that the NEW 256 bit file does reside on my computer, in the ITunes files (My Music/ITunes/ITunes Media/Music.  So I can bring the songs back as 256 kbps, and I have been successful now at locating more than one file at a time, by clicking on the "find other missing files" tab in the popup window.  Previously, I'd been going back to my Amazon files, and not only was I unable to bring back a 256 version, but the popup window would not locate similar files.  So while I wish ITunes Match would automatically associate the ITunes Match file, at least I can retrive the file association without hours and hours of work.

  • How do I sort songs in the iTunes store?  You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

    How do I sort songs in the iTunes store?  You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

    It seems this is a "backwards" upgrade from Apple in their iTunes 11 release....like you, I used to use that function in the iTunes store to sort through and decide which song version to purchase.   (For a large returned list of songs...see all...then sort by any of the headers, including Popularity...this functionality is now gone.)  
    The iPad always suffered from this...was never able to sort on those same column headers with an iPad.   It seems, this new iTunes release killed that functionality on the Mac as well.
    Just one of the few things that went wrong with number 11!
    Better luck next time,

  • Missing iTunes Songs after using iCloud

    Since using iTunes Match I have 500+ songs that won't upload to iCloud and won't play on my laptop -- error messages for both attempts. These songs do play on my iPod. They do not appear on my iPad or iPhone. Using  Windows 8. Songs were uploaded, not purchased.

    I found the very useful hint from Taleswapper that, when there are NO photos in the CAMERA ROLL on the iPhone, iphone doesn´t NOT appear in Windows Explorer.
    Furthermore,
    I checked the solutions described in the same link
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17480607#17480607
    I already re-installed itunes, but problem remains, and
    I have Windows Home Premium SP 1 and neither Windows 7 N nor KN. So, the following link is not applicable

    Is there anyone who can help to solve the problem that iphone is not shown in Windows Explorer when there are no photos in camera roll?

  • I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

  • 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.
