ITunes Match and iPhone

I have iTunes Match activated on both my devices, macbookpro and iPhone 5. I have noticed many diffences between the 2 library. I have an album that If I don't set the artist album tag, the artist don't work on iPhone. Also, I have an artist that all the albums that I have are a huge compilation of 6 albums, I have setup all the tags to organise everything, it works in iTunes but on my iPhone lib, everythoing is messed up.
Is ther a way to avoid all that mess? I want to organise my music libs once and for all and I want that everything works everywhere, bacause right now, it's a pain in the a...
thanks for your help.

This is what works for me...
In iOS Settings > Music set "group by album artist" to ON. Additionally, in iTunes make sure any music that may not be displaying properly has both an Artist and Album Artist.

  • Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

    Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

    First, disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Open the Music app and let the content clear out. Now, in iTunes, disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows). Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, and re-open it. Turn iTM back on and let it complete it's scan. The songs that are "waiting" ought to get converted to "purchased," "uploaded" or "matched." Once the scan is complete re-enable the service on the iPhone.

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

  • Connect 2 iPhones with 2 different apple ids to the macbook for updates and backup through iTunes match and iCloud. How can i make that happen?

    We have a mac book pro and 2 i phones 4S. We both have different Apple Id's. But we would like to connect both phones to the mac book in order to update photos and itunes match. I subscribed with my apple id to itunes match and it automatically updates apps, music, books etc. However the apple id of my husbands phone is not recognized so his music, apps etc are not automatically updated. The same happens with icloud.
    How can we make the mac book recognize both phones?

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hi mdr1976,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
    You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.
    See these articles for more information about Home Sharing:

  • I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes.  iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums.  Why?  I have tried everything.

    If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
    If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    This is all covered in the User's Guide.

  • HT4914 iTunes match and my iPhone

    I have a 16GB iPhone and about 40GB in my iTunes library, the majority of which wasn't bought on iTunes, and I just started using iTunes Match.  I'm afraid of overfilling my iPhone over time as I download more songs.  Is the an easy way to manage this?

  • 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.

  • ITunes Match and Playlists on iPhone - not syncing in correct order

    Is anyone having problems with iTunes Match and playlists on their iPhone?  I normally have my playlists sorted by date, however, on my iPhone it is showing up in random order and not exactly like the playlist I have created on my computer. I wasn't sure if I need to change any settings or anything or if this was a glitch.

    Please Please PLEASE DON'T reset your iPhone if you get this issue
    As has been mentioned before try this first - connect your iPhone:
    1) Right click the iPhone icon in the Device list on the left-hand side of your iTunes window
    2) Click on the Reset Warnings entry
    3) Click on your iPhone icon in the devices list and look at the main window, then select the Applications tab
    4) Make sure you tick the Sync Applications box and select All Applications
    5) Press Apply in the lower right hand corner of iTunes
    6) Press the Sync button in the same position
    You should get a warning that there are apps on your iPhone that should be backed up into iTunes. Select OK and your iPhone apps should be backed up with the rest of the Sync.
    MAKE SURE NOT TO CHECK DON'T SHOW WARNING AGAIN!!!
    I bet this is usually why people run into this problem, as we assume that it will do it automatically but it doesn't.

  • Itunes match and physically on iphone

    I've recently tried iTunes Match and I am finding out that when I sync my iPhone 5 (IOS7) to iTunes it does not put any music on the phone. It says all of it is accessable from the iCloud.  Is that true?   I can't have it on the phone too.  I have to use the Cloud.  What if I am not near WIFI, I need to use cellular service$$$.   How can I just use my phone like and ipod?  

    kevin
    Yes that is true.  If you don't want to use cell service $$ to listen to your music then you need to download your tracks while you have wifi service.
    Once the songs are on your iphone they will always be there and you can play them in any mode, including airplane mode.
    Just the  standard imatch offer.

    You would have to sign in with your account. Be aware that an iDevice or Mac or PC can only be associated with a particular iCloud/ iTunes in the Cloud account once every 90 days. So if you associate your iTunes in the cloud/Match account with her iPhone ,she will have to wait 90 days before going back to HER itunes in the cloud account.
