Problems subscribing to iTunes match

I'm trying to subscribe to iTunes match but whenever I click on the link I'm told - 'iPad purchases page Todo' - help!

Not sure what link you are clicking on, but you open iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Turn On iTunes Match to subscribe to iTunes Match.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4914.

    I subscribed to Music Match with iTunes and yet my ipad settings for Music only still has the option to subscribe, and therefore I cannot click on an option to Activagte iTunes Match, since it is not there. I have all the right number of songs from the icloud showing up in my ipad now, and I have played a few, but when I tried to turn off the computer, it showed a field stating that my ipad music would stop playing too, and it did. I thought this might have something to do with homesharing, but this I thought was something separate from iCloud.
    There is something wrong, but I don't understand what. It has just synced, but the problem persists.

    Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match.  Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
    Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu.  Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match.  That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer.  Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with.  It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
    On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top).  If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider.  Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.

  • If I re-subscribe my iTunes Match will I get my lost music back?

    My PC recently decided to screw me over by deleting all the music I had.
    The problem is my itunes Match subscription ended about 2 or 3 months ago.
    My question is: If re-subscribe to it, will I be able to download my music?

    HI
    No. Do you have a back up?

  • Do I have to subscribe to iTunes match to be able to import my own CDs to my library?

    I have just imported a CD to the new iTunes and it will only appear in the Up Next list, and doesn't appear properly in my library. I have tried restarting iTunes, and it didn't work. I am wondering if I have to subscribe to iTunes match to be able to import my own CDs? I also can't see the album in iTunes to be able to add the songs to my iPod, is there anyway to resolve this without subscribing to iTunes match?

    Hi,
    You don't need subscribe to match.
    Many posters have reported this problem. Have a look at the posts on this topic in the Itunes for Mac forum.
    A suggestion made in some posts is that if you download the free single of the week from itunes store.
    Can't comment any further as I have never encoutered this problem.

  • HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
    Peace Out.

  • Syncing iPod nano when you are a subscriber to iTunes Match

    I have a 4th generation iPod nano.  Until a couple weeks ago I always synced it to my iTunes on my computer through a USB cable. But now iTunes no longer recognizes my iPod nano nor does it sync.  I subscribed to iTunes Match when I bought my iPhone 4 last year, and have since read that you cannot sync music to your iPod nano if you subscribe to iTunes Match.  I had no problem syncing last year, but ever since I renewed my subscription to iTunes Match this year I can no longer sync my iPod.  Does anyone know of a workaround?  I would hate to have to buy a new cloud friendly iPod when mine still works perfectly fine.

    Ok, so I figured out the problem with the help of tech support.  I simply had to reboot my device (never have in all the years I've owned it... didn't even know I could!).  That solved the problem and now iTunes recognizes my device and I am back to syncing through my USB cable. How to reboot if you are having a similar problem: simply hold the center button and the "menu" button (top of the wheel) at the same time for several seconds until the screen goes blank and the apple logo appears; then let go of the buttons and wait for the device to reboot.  It's that easy!

  • Do I have to subscribe to iTunes Match to convert old protected purchases to iTunes Plus?

    I've been using the iTunes store since before it came out (in fact been using the iTunes player since before there was an iPod). So many of my songs are in the old protected .m4a format.
    All the articles I've seen on how to upgrade them to iTunes Plus songs have said you have to subscribe to iTunes Match in order to do so. Surely this can't be the case? I already paid for the songs once, and am willing to pay an additional 30 cents to upgrade them, but I have to pay $25 for a service I don't need to have the privilege of doing so? I don't want to believe Apple would fleece me this hard, but it sure looks like it.

  • HT4914 I just subscribed to iTunes match but only 61 songs from my 7GB of music on my iphone showed up.  I do not want to lose any music.  What should i do?

    I just subscribed to iTunes match but only 61 songs from my 7GB of music on my iphone showed up.  I do not want to lose any music.  What should i do?  When I go to settings-music-and try to enable iTunes Match on my iPhone it says "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device"  I don't want to do that it only has 61 of my 7GB of songs.

    did you find out the answer?  I am afraid to hit enable.

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do?  Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

  • I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
    Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
    ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

  • HT4914 Do you need to purchase more than the basic 5 Gigs of free iCloud storage if you have more than 5 Gigs of all data that can be stored on iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match?

    I purchased an additional 10 Gigs of iCloud storage in 2012 for my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd Gen Wi-Fi) for $20 per year through my iPhone carrier AT&T using IOS 4.3 which has been kept updated to IOS 6.13. In 2012 I purchased an iPad 3rd Generation with Wi-Fi only and at the end of my one year 10 gig upgrade I noticed that I had not used any of the additional 10 gigs and was not going to renew the additional storage. However, I decided to move all of my MP3 music library and copy my remaining CD collection of music (a couple hundred CD's) to my Windows Computer Hard Drive so that I could keep them safe.
    As I started purchasing new Albums from iTunes I decided to allow iTunes to store all my music in case my Hard Drive crashed. I did not purchase iTunes Match but all of my collections appear to be stored on iTunes as the storage cloud appears on my Apple devices which use the same Apple ID. A week ago I purchased another iPad (4th Generation Wi-Fi only) so my wife and I could use them at the same time. I kept everything under the same Apple ID because I use a lot of music creation apps like AmpliTube, Drum machines, Guitar Pro etc for creating music as well as Photo Apps for my Photography hobby and I wanted access to the apps regardless of which device was handy (including connecting the 2 iPads together for music looping and more).
    I still don't see any of the additional Ten gigs used as less than 500 Meg's are backed up into memory from each of the three devices.
    QUESTION: What is the advantage of an iTunes Match subscription if my library of some 10K songs are already stored on iTunes and I have not yet exceeded the initial 5 gigs of free iCloud storage? I keep my library in MP3 format for convenience and convert my music library to between 192 and 320 Kbps. Given the choice should I cancel the additional iCloud storage and subscribe to iTunes Match. Is iTunes Match a replacement for purchasing additional iCloud Storage?
    Confused as to which service I need?

    Only 5gb free iCloud storage is available for one apple ID.
    As you said, 2 + 2.4 doesn't add up to 5gb
    These are all the things that gets saved on iCloud
    Photos and videos
    iOS backup
    Documents (from Pages, numbers, keynote, documents from other apps)
    Also email from @iCloud.com account
    if you go to [Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage], you can see this.
    This should show you what is taking up your iCloud storage.

  • Interested in subscribing to iTunes Match but concerned about number of devices

    My family and I all share 1 iTunes library. All purchases are made using the same AppleID account. We currently have 17 apple devices and will most likely be adding more with Xmas coming up next month. We are interested in subscribing to iTunes Match. Can / How do we use iTunes Match across all these devices? I would guess that there are many family's out there like mine where each person has an iPhone, computer & iPad. Limiting iTunes Match to 10 devices will not work, especially if you have a large family. Hopefully I'm not understanding it correctly and someone is able to assist.
    Thank you.

    This is in facto, too dificult.... Surely I am missing somethin...

    " Authorizing and deauthorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can sync or use apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, or other content you've purchased from the iTunes Store.
    You can use or sync your purchases from the iTunes Store on up to five different computers (these can be any mix of Macintosh or Windows-compatible computers). When you sync or play an item you've purchased, your computer is "authorized" for purchase using your Apple ID."
    OK
    Then.....

    "vWhen you subscribe to or enable iTunes Match, your device or computer will be associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. For more information about associating devices and computers to an Apple ID, see this article. "
    And "see this article" here link directs us to:
    "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. "
    What is then the "truth"? When I try to add another computer it seems (previous post) that the first is true (I only have 7 devices associated with my Apple ID). Not the second.

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • I just subscribed to ITunes Match. I'm trying to connect my wife's phone. She has a different Apple ID. How can I connect her?

    I just subscribed to ITunes Match. I was able to connect my phone and Ipad but I cant't connect my wife's phone. She has a different Apple ID.

    The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

  • Can I use the existing balance of my iTunes account to subscribe to iTunes match?

    I bought a 50 dollars card, and after include this into my apple ID aacout, i went to suscribe to itunes match.  I don´t want a credit card associated, and I noticed that there is an option to trade itunes cards to suscribe.  It is too late for may card because I already trade it, but I bought it just to suscribe!  How can I use that money now to get Itunes Match????

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914
    You do need a permanent form of payment on file to subscribe to iTunes Match.
