ITunes Match won't update on iPhone

Recently, I noticed that iTunes Match on my iPhone won't update my music. I've added some new music to my iTunes and updated iTunes Match on my Mac, but the songs won't appear on my iPhone. I've even tried connecting my phone to my Mac and manually adding the music, but that doesn't work either. I've tried restating the music app, turning iTunes Match off/on, updating Match again on iTunes, etc. Nothing works and it's getting really, really annoying!

Hi fnaber0412,
If you are having issues with your iPhone not updating your music from iTunes Match, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close

Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • ITunes Match music not updating on iPhone 4 - all settings "correct", but all playlists and many songs, artists, albums, artwork missing

    I'm having a maddening problem with iTunes Match on my iPhone 4. I have the following settings established on the phone:
    Settings > iCloud > Account: properly logged in to the correct, main account
    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup: On
    Settings > Music > iTunes Match: On
    Settings > Music > Show All Music: On
    Settings > Store: Logged into the same correct, main account as above
    Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music: On
    On my laptop - the computer I use to primarily manage my iTunes music collection - when I "Update iTunes Match", all but three songs are listed as "Matched", "Uploaded". or "Purchased", and I'm correctly told that "12,277 songs are now available in iCloud".
    But over the past week or so, music has been disappearing from my iPhone 4. When I go under Music > Playlists, none of my Playlists are showing. When I go under Music > Songs, it only lists 240 of the 12,277 tracks that are supposedly available in iCloud. Only 126 of around 1300 artists are listed. I have meticulously collected/scanned album artwork for literally every song in my collection, but a ton of it is missing on even the few tracks that do show up on my iPhone, and on and on and on.
    I've been trying switching settings on and off, logging out and back in, waiting minutes, hours, or even days between attempts, running a restore to previous backup for the whole phone, etc. But after days of frustration and time wasted - nothing. And the real kicker is that the whole music collection IS showing up just fine on my wife's iPhone 4 - it just won't work on mine, and it's mostly my music to begin with!
    So why won't my music collection show up on my iPhone 4? What do I do to fix this? How is this worth the money I paid for the Match service?

    Thanks to kirbyfromtrenton, I have tracked down at least a partial fix for this problem:
    1 - Turn off iTunes match in iTunes.
    2 - Turn off iTunes match on the iPhone.
    3 - Close iTunes and reopen.
    4 - Connect your iPhone.
    5 - Go into your music folder for the iPhone and delete all the songs.
    6 - Turn back on iTunes match in iTunes
    7 - Turn back on iTunes match on the iPhone
    All of my music is available once again, although I'm still not seeing my playlists or artwork. That could be because I'm overseas right now with a slow wi-fi connection though.

  • ITunes match won't update? iTunes store temp unavailable?

    Every time I try to update iTunes match a message keeps popping up saying that the iTunes store is temporarily unavailable; and I checked the server statuses for iCloud and everything seems to be up.

  • HT204406 iTunes match won't update.  It will not go past step 1.  How can I fix this?

    I can't get iTunes match to update past step 1.  I've tried everything.  Is anyone else having this issue? 

    1. Try and delete stalled Podcast
    2. Sign out of Apple ID>Reboot>Sign in again

  • HT1420 My Itunes match won't update or even open on my laptop, I always get an error message saying something cause the program to close and windows is looking for a solution. Then I tunes closes.

    i like imatch and icloud cause i can keep up with my music easy. lately I authorized my laptop, an HP, so I can play my music on the go. Well for some reason when I open I tunes, imatch automatically tries to update and then i get a message that something has stopped itunes from running, windows will find a solution, program needs to close. i have tried compatiability mode but i get a message saying itunes won't run correctly in compatability mode. tempted to delete the program and reinstall.

    i also tried to download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but that too gives me an error message when i try to run it.
    Is that an 800A0046 error, megan?
    If so, can you get CleanUp to install if you do a run as administrator, as per the following document?
    [Error "800A0046 - Permission Denied" when installing the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility in Windows Vista|http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/170/1/Error-800A0046---Permission-D enied-when-installing-the-Windows-Installer-Cleanup-Utility-in-Windows-Vista.htm l]
    If you're getting a different error message from CleanUp, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes Match won't stream certain tracks after IOS 6.1 update

    OK...so...I updated to IOS 6.1 and now itunes match won't stream ANYTHING over 45 minutes long if it's over a 3G connection and not wireless.  Being that itunes match is primarily for use outside of the house i'm wondering; how can this be useful to anyone?  I have a lot of shows on my itunes that are three hours long but now (due to the update) i can't listen to any of them...unless i'm in the house...which is not why i bought itunes match.  Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?

    I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
    I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me.  This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
    If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

  • HELP!  I got a new iPhone and want to download my music from my computer so I don't have to down load song by song on my phone.  iTunes Match won't let me copy it from my computer.  What do I do?

    I have iTunes Match and it's been fine until now. I'm trying to download my music to my phone so I don't have to use the wifi to play it all the time.....but iTunes match won't let me copy from my computer without shutting it off. If I do that then turn it back on then I lose all the music anyway.
    I'm so frustrated and can't download song by song to my phone.
    help.

    If you mean you want to sync your music from your computer to your iPhone you need to disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Go to Settings > Music and set to iTunes Match to OFF (not green). You may need to wait a few minutes for the change to register with iTunes. Connect the iPhone via USB/Thunderbolt and sync the music.

  • HT1338 Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to ios 5?

    Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to a later version?

    First, confirm that you really do have an iPhone 3GS and not a 3G:

    If you really do have a 3GS, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7, on your computer.

  • ITunes still won't recognize my iPhone after I've followed every step

    I purchased an iPhone4 off of a friend, he had completely restored it back to its factory settings before he sold it to me.
    When I connected it to my iTunes it had asked to update it, so I did to 6.1.3. Now Every time I plug it into my computer it asks me to restore it, I click restore and it says it's updating, takes 4 hours then says there was an error. I've googled this and gone through all the steps and nothing is working. My iTunes still won't recognize my iPhone.
    I had tried it on my brothers iTunes and it says "pairing record missing"
    I also looked that up, followed all the different steps and nothing helped.
    I've tried updating my iTunes, every time I try it crashes and says it "failed to install". nothing at all is working and I'm getting very frustrated and losing my faith in apple...
    If anyone has any other idea, or advice, PLEASE let me know. it would be greatly appreciate.
    Thank you
    btw: I've tried the unplugging, rebooting, bluetoothing, everything I saw in the other forums and nothing helped.

    why would your be frustrated and losing your faith with Apple?  Sounds like your friend sold you a jailbroken phone.

  • My iTunes match not working on my iPhone.  Anyoine able to access theirs on an iPhone?

    I was informed by an Apple representative that match won't yet work with ios devices becuase it is still in beta testing.  Has anyone got itunes match to work with their iphone? 

    On the east coast in NJ. Cannot access iTunes Match on IOS device or on Apple tv. If I am on wifi, I cannot play any music on my iphone or apple tv. Even those songs downloaded to the iphone wont play. But if I turn off the wifi, then those songs on the iphone will play. On the apple tv, no music from iTunes Match will play. Also failing on my MacBook pro. This needs to get fixed soon.

    For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music...
    If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

    It should only be bringing up Siri if you press and hold it. Do you think you might be holding it too long?

  • HT204406 iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4

    i am having a problem with the iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4, once in iTunes it just shows the iCloud logo, and does not load all my albums/song etc.

    I'm guessing you mean the iTunes store.
    What specificaly happens when you try to access the store?  Any errors?
    What do you mean by full factory reset?  Does that mean a restore as new?
    Are you able to access the store via Wi-Fi?

  • TS1424 I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone to iOS 7.

    Hi there, could someone help me here please - I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7. The problem occurred about 5 days later after the upgrade. There are no error messages. As I tap on the icon it opens just for a fraction of a moment and then goes off and back to the main screen. Other apps are working just fine. I tried following the troubleshooting steps as suggested by apple support, but that didn't help unfortunately...
    Thank you
