ITunes Match will sync my music from all the stores?

Hey! I want to get iTunes Match, but I still have doubts about how it works. I have songs that are not available on the USA store only on the France store (for example), will iTunes Match sync the song even if it is not available on my store? and will give me the matched song? Or it all depends on the country where the account was created? Thanks.

No, iTunes Match does not match your library across country stores. It only matches music to your "store of record." If a song cannot be matched it will be uploaded.

HT204406 My iTunes Match will not complete Step 3 of the uploading process. Many songs are "waiting"

My iTunes Match will not complete Step 3 of the uploading process. I have over 700 "items" designated as "waiting." I have restarted multiple times but it stalls at this point.

I've been reading all these comments about how match is not working and people are having problems uploading all their songs. My problem is more basic than that. When I open iTunes I immediately get the spinning color disc of death and I can't do anything at all. I can't go to the store. I can't listen to a song. I can't do anything. I just tried to sync my iPod. I pugged it into my computer, iTunes started up, looked like it was going to sync, then the spinning disc again. So forget match; I can't do anything, nada, nothing. I even tried to send my iTunes application to trash, but I got a message saying I couldn't do that because it was needed for OS X. Talk about a do loop, this is unbelievable.
Is anyone else having the problem I am having?

ITunes Match is syncing my music library using 3G but I have the option switched off.

Hi,
I have found a problem syncing my music using iTunes Match and my iPhone has used 2GB of my data plan in a day. The steps to reproduce the problem are:
Precondition: iPhone is using iTunes Match and has a list a few songs in the cloud without syncing.
Steps:
Switch on 3G connections in the settings. (Settings > General > Mobile data > Mobile data & 3G ON)
Start syncing a list of music.
Switch off the option to use data plan to sync music (Settings > Music > Use data plan > OFF)
Result: iPhone continues downloading all the songs of the list using my data plan.
Expected result: iPhone stops syncing the music because there is only a 3G connection and the option is switched off.
This is why I would like to make a complaint to Apple. How can I do it?
Thanks.

Everything that is on your device should be in your library too. If that is not the case then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. See also Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
Once you have secured your content you can work on resolving the sync issue.
When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
Restore the chosen backup.
In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

HT204406 in iTunes Match can I protect music from being accidentally deleted or playlists changed on my mobile devices?

My entire music catalogue is saved from my desktop in iTunes Match. How can I prevent my children from deleting or editing playlists and songs on my iPhone or iPods? Is there a way to lock the devices from making changes and only allow them to listen?

If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account. Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

After the first install of iOS8 my iPhone5 locked up with a picture of a cord connected to a device linking to iTunes. After taking my iPhone5 to the Apple Store, an Expert was able to get my phone operational again. However, when I returned home I found I no longer had options in iTunes to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5. I suspect that ITunes does not recognize my IPhone any longer. For the past 1.5 years I have no problems updating or syncing my iPhone…it was only after I upgraded to iOS8 last week.

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.

Itunes 7 not authorizing my music purchased on the store to my ipod

I hope someone can help but I just upgraded to itunes 7 and it hasn't been fun to say the least. Anyway here is my issue I have 29 songs that I can't play on my ipods that I purchased more then a year ago. I went to the support page to research the issue and I found a page that told me that I needed to authorized my songs (which should of happened when I purchase them the 1st time) so you can sense the frustration. So I go to the menu in itunes to authorize my music which looks like it does this but when I connect my ipod again it still won't copy the songs. Also prior to this I went through the songs independently to authorized and still couldn't get those songs uploaded to my ipods. I am telling you I am witts end. I am so confused on what is wrong.
Side note: I feel like I might be going back to buying cds so I can not go through this hassle.
Thanks for any assistance,
Karin

There are a couple possible issues. First, in iTunes, select one of the songs that isn't copying to the iPod and play it. With luck, as soon as you do that you'll be asked to authorize your computer, or it will play. Select another songs that doesn't transfer and see if it will play. Now make sure those two songs are selected for syncing and try to sync the iPod again. Did they make it over to the iPod and do they play? Did the other songs that previously wouldn't sync make it over to the iPod too?
If the answer was 'yes' we're done. If the answer was no, download the most recent iPod updater and apply it. Then try syncing your iPod again. If you still can't get it to sync those songs, come back.

I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

My Music from iTunes Match will not sync on Apple TV

I cannot seem to get my iTune Match to sync to my Apple TV.
Selected MyMusic and get the message that it will take a few minutes depending on library size and internet speed.
Library size is big and speed is quick yet I have left this buffering for a whole day on a number of occasions and it is still buffering hours later.
ANy any help would be most appreciated.

I had the same problem. I "Reset" (not just restarted) my Apple TV and when I reconnected to iTunes Match it successfully connected and I'm able to play songs through iTunes Match. Not sure if it matters but I'm using a wired connection.

HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync playlists.

How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

Hello gogreenj14,
If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Click the Add This Computer button.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
