ITunes match does not work on my iPhone or iPad

I'm one of these lucky folks who has two Apple IDs because Apple decided to change from the single username to a MobileMe account a while back. Since Apple doesn't allow yet to concatenate both IDs, I have to use the single username ID for the iTunes store and the @me.com, actually @mac.com, ID for the rest.
The problem then is when I want to use my iPhone or iPad with iTunes Match. Both devices want me to register to the @me.com ID but the music is under the single username ID. In fact the iPhone and iPad refuse to accept my username ID if it does not have the @me.com suffix.
It's a mess and it does not work for me now. Has someone found a workaround or some way to get iTunes Match on the iPhone and iPad when there are two different IDs on iTunes?
Thanks for your help.

It appears that Apple has no idea how to fix this issue of double Apple IDs and iTunes Match. They decided to reimburse me for the purchase of the two iTunes Match I got with my two IDs. This doesn't solve the issue but at least I'm not out of cash for nothing.

  • ITunes match does not work on my iPhone 4S, but is working across all of my other Macs and iOS devices.  All other iCloud services are working fine on the 4S - any suggestions?

    iTunes match is not working on my iPhone 4S; it works awesome across all of my Macs and other iOS devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 4g x 2, and my wife's iPhone 4).  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    It is not possible to "toggle back and forth" at will. If you associate a device with an Apple ID and you have iTunes Match enabled you must wait 90 days before you can associate it with another Apple ID. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • My iTunes password does not work on my iPhone...

    My iTunes password does not work on my iPhone, but it does on my MacBook. Why? This is really annoying. How can I solve my problem? I don't even know how to contact Apple.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • HT204406 iTunes Match is not working on my iPhone 4S after installing iOS 6.  I finally see a list of artists, but the songs are all empty and will not play, and no play lists are present.

    iTunes Match is not working after the iOS 6 install.  All music that was previously downloaded is gone.  When the "Music App" is opened, I see a picture of a cloud, and a progress bar that goes nowhere.  Then it goes away.  No playlists are present.  It shows artists, and albums, but all songs are empty. Nothing plays.
    Is there a fix for this, or are the Apple Servers simply totally overwhelmed, and this is a matter of being annoyed and patient until it finally connects.
    Thanks!

    Same issue for me.
    Some further peculiar things I noticed:
    Directly after updating to iOS 6 I had to switch on iTunes Match again (iPhone settings). Then I realized that my music was gone (as described above).
    Under settings -> usage one could see that the memory space was still occupied by the huge music library (i.e. there where only 9 of 64 GB free). This changed after several hours. Now there are only 9 GB used, the rest is free. So the library is really gone.
    Since then my iPhone continuously downloads some unknown data from the internet (even if all apps are closed and I deselect the use of mobile networks at the several menus in the settings). All apps are closed. The iPhone gets hot and downloads something. It downloaded nearly 400 MB in the last 48 hours via mobile networks. (I got a flatrate, so I don't really care about the data.)
    Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for any help!

  • Itunes match does not work properly

    The symbol for cloud does not appear anymore in my iTunes library. I have no problems using my iPhone or iPad, only iTunes on the Macmini gives problems.
    An other strange thing is that the volume and apeaker choice does not work as it should be on the Mac mini for music that is on my computer. The few albums that are shown in iCloud work just fine.
    After I had stopped iTunes match and restarted it. The message was given that all my music could be used through the cloud. On the Mac mini it is not like that.

    Hi,
    Every music on my hard drive is sored in the regular iTunes music library as .m4a
    There is no iCloud symbol showed in iTunes, but I can listen to every piece of music if I use the iPad or iPhone. The music is streamd from iCloud and played on one of mine airpkay speakers.

  • HT203167 My iTunes Match does not work, it stops after the first step and won't do anything else!!!

    Hello, I purchased iTunes Match for my new iPhone five and it is intended to move the music from my computer to my other computer, but it stopped working on my MacBook Pro, it stopped after the first step. So, my question is, can iTunes Match work if the iTunes in question has other accounts attached to it, of not, can I get a refund on a service that does not work?

    I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

  • ITunes match does not show up on iphone

    I just enabled iTunes match after it took forever to synch up on my computer, it told me to go to settings -> music and turn on iTunes match. I don't have that option on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5. What is wrong?

    iTunes Match has not been released yet.

  • My video zoom does not work on my iphone or ipad after IOS 7.0.2 update.

    After updating iPad and iPhone 4S to IOS7.0.2 the video zoom function does not work. I have also lost the function to zoom on video playback.  

    Is somebody from Apple monitoring these forums? I do have the same problem, i just recently noticed that the zoom in my video camera is no longer available since I upgraded my 4S iPhone to the newest version.

  • HT204406 Since updating to ios6 on my iPhone 4S iTunes Match has not worked. The app stays open for about five seconds before crashing. With ios5 it was great and worth paying for. Now it is utterly useless. Apple, please listen and fix this problem.

    Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
    I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
    It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
    Has anyone else found a solution?
    Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • ITunes Match does not list all my music before signing up. Only the ones i've purchased thru itunes and several songs of my own.  Where can I find my 400  missing songs?  Being able to store ALL music is the only reason why I signed up. Please help.

    iTunes Match does not list all the music I had on my iphone. Not on my phone or iTunes. Only shows the music I've purchased from itunes and none of my 400+ songs.  Please help. Thank you.

    Is your music in your iTunes library on your computer and has match completed its scan of this library.

    Hello wilsontot_too,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone.  It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone.  It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
    I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

  • My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    My proximity sensor does not work on my iPhone 4

    Well, it can be fixed, however it is in a very difficult spot, and it may cost me more to replace than what I can get out of it. I don't care to pay for a replacement since my warranty is up, because I already have an iPhone 5. I want to sell the iPhone4, and not for $75 either because you can't make a phone call unless its on speaker. I didn't know what other people had to say, so I just wanted some feedback on my options. I'm sorry that I am not an expert on the iPhone hardware componets, because I actually work for a living. I don't have time to sit here and play on forums. Thanks for all you're help.
