ITunes Match Unable To Get Past "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results..."

Been trying for days but it just gets to "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results..." and then stops and allows me to press the Start button again to start the match process.  Sometimes I get error -3231.
I've called Apple and they want $19 to solve the issue even though I paid the $25 for Match.
I've turned iTunes Match off.  Turned Genius off.  Logged out of my iTunes account.  Quit iTunes.  Restarted. Logged back into iTunes account.  Turn Genius on.  Turn iTunes Match back on and let it go through the process again with no success.
My library has a couple hundred songs less than the 25,000 max but it is pretty large.  Had the same issue when I tried with a smaller library some time ago.  I've created a new library and have the same issue.

Hi,
You should consider rebooting your internet router
Then try holding option key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes and then reopen. Turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer.

  • Waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results - time out -uk

    Hi,
    Help me please
    I seem to be stuck in a loop that after the gathering of information has finished, the info is sent to apple and then I get 'waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results' after about 30 or so seconds I then get an error message
    'we could not complete your request, the network timed out, blah blah blah make sure network connection is active'  no error code.
    I am a windows 7 user, I have comodo fire wall, nod32 and sky broadband.
    I have forwarded the ports 80 and 443, i have turned off comodo and disabled nod32, uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled itunes and I am still no further forward.
    My internet connection is fine, i can access and download from the itunes store so there should be no issues, genius is on and working and getting results from apple so what is wrong with match?
    Thanks
    Marc

    Marcus_30,
    thanks, unfortunately tried almost all of that already...
    You must be able to disable the firewall, even just temporarily.
    Did that already, no change
    Plug directly into the router and have nothing else running.
    no change either if connected via Wifi or cable
    I take it that you can connect to the store ok?
    yes, iTunes store is working fine - even can download at the same time I am getting the network timeout error
    Have you been through the re-installing iTunes motions?
    this will be my next step - had hoped to avoid that...

  • Waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results

    Out of the blue, iMatch is hung-up on step 1 and displays this in the progress bar
    "waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results".  Nothing ever happens after that.  Songs that I have been adding since the beginning are in the cloud and play on all my devices -even thought in itunes it indicated that they are not in the cloud. Anything new I have added to my library appears on my other devices as grayed-out and do not play.  They do play on my PC.
    I have a Dell PC with Vista running the latest version of iTunes.
    I have signed in/out
    Turned iMatch (and genious) off/on
    Deauthorized and re-authorized the PC
    restarted iTunes
    restarted the PC.
    I have no other issues with this machine.
    Support has not been able to help other than claiming it is Apple's fault.
    Thanks, VJ

    I had to restart iTunes.

  • Waiting for Apple to deliver your Genius results

    For the past couple of days I've noticed that the display area of my iTunes has said, "Waiting for Apple to deliver your Genius results…" And it just keeps saying that for hours on end.
    Anybody know why? And/or what I can do about it?

    "But what if I want Genius results? "
    In iTunes, click the black box with the arrow in it bottom right side of the iTunes window.

  • ITunes won't sync with my iPhone 4! Won't get past 'Waiting for changes to be applied'

    I've recently started having a problem with syncing my iPhone 4 (running the latest version of iOS7) with the latest version of iTunes.
    I start to sync my phone with iTunes but it gets to the 'Waiting for changes to be applied' phase and then doesn't finish it's sync correctly after that. It won't tell me that the sync has failed, it'll just replace the 'Waiting for changes to be applied' with the Apple logo in the top bar on iTunes.
    And now, rather randomly, all songs ripped onto iTunes from discs with artists starting with the letters R-Z are dislayed in the library on my phone but the phone will fail to find them, and subsequently play them, if selected.
    Does anyone have even the slightest idea what has gone wrong with iTunes or my iPhone 4?

    Cancel the sync if you haven't done so already. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot the iPad and try again. This won't hurt either...close all apps on the iPad before you try syncing again.
    In order to close all apps .... Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Quit iTunes and reboot the computer, now try again.

  • HT1386 When I open sync I cant get past 'waiting for changes to be applied'. It is not a problem on my ipad, just my iphone. Anyone help? Tia. David

    When I open sync I can't get past step 3 'waiting for changes to be applied'. It is not a problem when I sync my ipad, just my phone. Anyone any ideas?

    Eject the device.
    Close and relaunch iTunes.
    If the problem continues, restart the computer and the device.

  • Can't get past "Waiting for Bridge CC" in MiniBridge/Photoshop cc

    I subscript to Photoshop CC and have been using it successfully.  However, I tried starting the program without a connection to the Internet, and I believe it may have loaded a trial version. 
    The problem I amhaving is the MiniBridge doesn't connect with Bridge CC even theough Bride CC is launched.
    I followed the online advice to delete the SwithBoard folder, retarte the computer and then restart Photoshop.  The SwitchBoard folder was reegenerated, but I'm still getting the same message: Waiting for Bridge CC.

  • Can't get past "waiting for activation" when setting up iMessaging, Help??

    I am currently living in Kenya and using my AT&T iPhone 4 to communicate with my family back home in the States over iMessage and FaceTime (through WiFi exclusively). All of the sudden, I turned on my phone and iMessaging had ceased to function as had FaceTime. Upon trying to turn them on and off, I have been stuck with the 'waiting for activation' message and it doesn't go away!
    I am tried resetting the date and time, resetting the network, logging in and out of Apple ID, going in and out of airplane mode, resetting my phone, resetting network settings.
    Going to the Apple Store really isn't a viable option, nor is calling them.
    If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem please let me know!!
    Thank you very much!

    I tried what you suggested @fromsouth and still no luck! I am going to have to go back to online chatting with Apple I think. 
    If you already tried to sign out of imessage, change your imessage password, Turn it on and sign in with email address only and leave it activating overnight.  Then I need to wish you good luck chatting with Apple.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode, itunes can't get past 'waiting for iphone' after I repaired the broken screen...

    So awhile ago the screen broke so I bought a kit on ebay to fix it, my boyfriend did a beautiful job using a tutorial on Youtube, it turns on, tells me to connect to itunes. I did that and now it's been connected to my laptop for 9 hours and the status bar never moves. I'm getting very frustrated! I've tried putting it in DFU mode but nothing changes.
    Please help me! What do I do?!

  • How long must I wait on Apple to deliver iTunes Match results?

    I have tried three times the following:
         I have started iTunes Match and it runs and then after about two hours stops and I get "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results...". The first time I waited about 6 hours. The second time was over night - about 10 hours. Now I have waited 3 days and it still is waiting!!! I renewed iTunes Match a month ago. Since iTunes 12 Match has been working for sh*t! Now I am angry having just paid for something that again is not working!!! PLEASE Apple help!

    Hi!
    It all depends on the amount of songs that you are trying to upload and your internet speed!
    When I first signed up for iTunes Match it had over 600 songs to upload which took about 6 hours.
    Make sure you are on the latest version iTunes also.
    If that does work just completely turn disable iTunes Match by clicking Store > Turn Off iTunes Match > Turn On iTunes Match
    iTunesMatch has been very buggylately whichis Apple's fault.
    Hope this works!

  • "Waiting for Apple TV..." - trying to restore

    Had my ATV2 for a couple of years, never had a problem with it.
    Either out of the blue or because a friend was pressing buttons randomly (although don't know how), the ATV started flashing quickly.
    Grey blank screen, doesn't respond at all.
    So I bought a Micro USB cable to restore the software.
    Plugged the ATV into my MacBook Pro (only Micro USB connected, not power or HDMI) - running latest OSX 10.8.4 and latest iTunes 11.0.5.
    iTunes recognised the ATV and showed the "Restore Apple TV..." button
    Downloaded the latest ATV restore update.
    Then I get the following messages in iTunes:
    "Extracting Software"
    "Verifying update with Apple"
    "Preparing Apple TV for restore..."
    "Waiting for Apple TV..."
    And that's where it hangs.  I've tried multiple times and left it for hours and hours.
    Just says "Waiting for Apple TV..." and won't progress further.
    I've tried plugging the power cable in, I've tried pressing Menu & down, and Menu & Play/Pause for 7 seconds.  This often brings up an error 9 or error 1600 but nothing gets past "Waiting for Apple TV".
    Unless anyone has any ideas, I'm seeing a call to Apple Service or a new Apple TV.

    Just the future shop a couple towns over. It was a gift from my brother so I don't have the receipt. I just scheduled a call from apple care tho...Maybe they can ship me a new one or something.

  • ITunes match can't get past step 1

    I bought iTunes match as soon as it was available here in Austria. At first it worked fine. Then I imported some new songs. After that it has never been able to get past step 1 (gathering data on your media library). My MacBook was running more that 24h for several times, still I couldn't get past step 1. I can't and won't have iTunes open more than 24h in one session since I need to be able to work with it. What am I supposed to do?
    Maybe relevant: the iTunes genius-process also can't finish since I imported these new songs.
    Thank you!

    I spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday with Apple support on this exact issue. Apparently ML corrupted my iTunes library. I had to get a senior tech at Apple to remotely access my Mac to walk me through the fix, which required moving my iTunes files around, as well as doing a complete re-install of ML.
    My iTunes Match still acts a little buggy, but a least I'm able to access my music. The only way to solve this issue IMO is to get Apple support to assist you the way I described. Don't waste time talking to a low level person, because they won't know how to help you (unless they're getting so many calls on this they've sorted it out). Also, since this is a ML issue, you won't be charged.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to get past message about "Find my IPOD Touch" when ITUNES starts

    When I connect my IPOD Touch to computer and Itunes opens, I get the screen shown below and unable to get past it. I can access all other stuff in Itunes. I am unable to sync by IPOD. Clickin on the supposed links in the message does nothing.

    As I said on my first post, changing the iTunes Library name did not work. Restarted my PC, iTunes, my iPhone. Nothing worked.
    Before going on, I put every thing back the way it was, and exported my library, just to be sure.
    Then I tried and removed every iTunes Library file (iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb and iTunes Library.xml). Restarted and it worked. Then I imported my library, and went to my Mobile applications folder and re-added all apps to iTunes.
    BUT the apps in my iPhone in iTunes apps window were greyed out. So I synced my apps. It said it would remove everything from the phone and replace it with the new apps, I confirmed, and it synced just fine. I lost no data, no saved games, no apps, no music, everything was just fine.
    Hope it helps.
    Cheers.
