Itunes match having issues playing some of my songs

I recently got itunes match over winter break and it's been working pretty well. Although I do have some issues with playback. I noticed some songs just get skiped over. I have deleted them off icloud and my itunes and resynced them back on but icloud still manages to skip over them. Can anyone else tell me how I can get icloud to play the songs.

If it happens again, do NOT delete the songs from your library. Rather, highlight and choose "Convert ID3 tags..." Pick a likely value, such as v2.3, and after the conversion, try to play them.
iTunes tends to be finicky/strict/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about the ID3 tags in MP3 files, and a conversion is often enough to fix the problem.
If the song is no longer in your library, you can resort to a 3rd party tag fixing program.

    Has iTunes Match been flaky for anyone else lately. I have been having issues with some of my songs. Some of the songs play, some skip.

    Either import your Songs into a new clean library, or rebuild your existing library - it would appear your current library is corrupt.

  • TS4124 How do I reverse DOWN LOAD ALL done in error on my iPad for my iTunes Match just setup with some 22,000 songs.   There is no way I can download that onto the tiny memory of my IPad . Thank you for your help

    How do I reverse DOWN LOAD ALL done in error on my iPad with my newly set of ITUNES MATCH that has some 22,000 tunes.   I have not found away of stopping it; every time I play a song it automatically downloads onto my iPad. Help!

    Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
    I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
    Thanks again!

  • Itunes will no longer play some of my songs

    Any info will be appreciated. I no longer can play my converted songs in itunes after last update. Everything was working fine until the update. itunes will ask where there located but after i show where there at. it still won't play them. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!! I about to throw itunes and my ipod out the window.

    Sorry, it won't work. Won't even open the file.
    It shows me where it is, but when I click on the file, it only gives me the "open"/"cancel" options. If I click on "open" it takes me back to my iTunes library but without the selection. Shows me the song but gives me that exclamation point and says it can't be played.

  • I am having trouble playing some of my songs.

    Hello there.
    I have been using an iPhone and a Mac since forever, and this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.
    One of the songs that I bought from iTunes (and one that I would like to listen once in every five minutes) cannot be played from both my computer (a MacBook Pro Retina Display), and my phone (iPhone 5).
    While I suspect that the problem might be occuring because of the Explicit tag on the song, I have no trouble playing other songs of such rating from my devices.
    When I try to play the song on my Mac, iTunes keep asking me for authorization over and over despite the computer is one of my authorized ones, and when I tap the 'play' button on iPhone, the phone switches madly from 'play' sign to 'stop' sign and continues to do so until I tap the sign again.
    I am over the legal age, I have my restrictions set off, and I have absolutely no idea why this might be happenning.
    Thank you for reading.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Having issues playing videos after the latest update

    After the latest update for ITunes, I am having issues with some of my videos.  Some of my videos will play while others in attempting to play them will play back choppy, at times the picture will freeze and then all at once the video will start fast forwarding to catch up to where it should be, and then at other times the video will cut out intirely, the screen will be completely black without the control areas in the top right corner or the center of the bottom of the screen even being visible.
    Have been unable to watch a large number of my TV series, and movies.

    Try playing videos directly in Quicktime:
    1.) Open Quicktime
    2.) Click File > Open File
    3.) Navigate to your iTunes folder
    4.) Movies are in iTunes\Movies\, TV in iTunes\TV Shows\, podcasts in iTunes\Podcasts
    5.) Select a video and open it
    6.) Watch in awe as Quicktime plays it perfectly, full screen option is in the View menu BTW.
    iTunes 10.7.0.21 is a disaster.

  • ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

    You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
    From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
    Authorize and Deauthorize
    Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
    You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.

  • Is anyone else having issues with "skipping" while the songs are playing?! It is very aggravating to us... and we've had it going on for several months now.  Any ideas at all how to fix it?

  • I am trying to update my RSS via sound cloud to iTunes but having issues... please help

    I am trying to update my RSS via sound cloud to iTunes but having issues.
    I currently have my podcast working on iTunes but I have decided to change where I have them hosted.  I moved my podcasts over to Soundcloud and currently have the rss feed but I would like to update my iTunes podcast with this so that all my podcasts showing up on sound cloud will sync up and automatically update.
    here is my rss feed:
    feed://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/48458062-the-collective-podcast/tracks
    Podcast via Soundcloud:
    http://soundcloud.com/the-collective-podcast
    my podcast on iTunes:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-collective-podcast/id662393388
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The feed in use by iTunes is http://thecollectivepodcast.podomatic.com/rss2.xml , not the one you list. It has one episode, whose media file URL is
    http://thecollectivepodcast.podomatic.com/enclosure/2013-06-14T16_06_53-07_00.mp 3
    Your feed at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/48458062-the-collective-podcast/tracks has no episodes.
    You will obviously need to get this sorted out before you can proceed. Once you have the soundcloud feed working properly you will need to add a special tag to the original feed in order to transfer the Store to using the new feed. The method is decribed here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    Please make sure you are completely clear about it before proceeding, and check that the new feed works by subscribing manually in iTunes before you try moving the Store to it.

  • Itunes match  how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

    In ITunes match  how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

    First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1.  I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match.  After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
    Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

  • Don't have ITunes Match but I can't delete downloaded songs

    So I DO NOT have iTunes Match however my music app had iCloud songs that I could download since some were not on my iPhone. I didn't want any of them but accidentally downloaded a few and now I can't get rid of them by swiping left in the app. I turned off show all music so I wouldn't download anymore. Also I thought I could delete them from my library on my computer but they don't show up. I'm running iOS 7 if that helps at all. Thanks

    You are probably thinking about Apple's USB Power Adapter Takeback Program.
    It ended October 2013, and they weren't free anyway.
