I can on both the PC and the iPad but I do not know how to do it on the iPod. It is a problem as I use the iPod for spinning and I need to play the songs in sequantial order. Thanks

You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

How or can you sync older ipods with Itunes Match?

How or can I sync my second generation IPod with ITunes Match?

For iPods, iTunes Match only works with iPod touch, because it is an iOS device (like iPhone and iPad). Even for iPod touch, it must be 3rd or 4th gen (running iOS 5 or later).

Can I used an older iPod with iTunes Match

I have an older iPod Classic running version 1.3. Can it be upgraded so that it can sync with iTunes Match?

The iPod classic cannot independently connect to the Internet nor sync directly with iTunes Match, but can be synced with an iTunes library containing songs downloaded through iTunes Match.

Syncing iPod with iTunes match

I use iTunes Match, therefore, most of my music is in the cloud. How do I sync my music to my iPod Classic?

You need to have the song files that are synced to your iPod stored locally on the computer's drive. iTunes cannot sync songs that are only stored in iCloud to an iPod.
iTunes Match matches (or uploads) your iTunes music library songs (and playlists) in iCloud, to allow easy access from all of your computers and iOS devices. However, enabling iTunes Match does not remove song files stored locally, for the computer used to sync your iPod. If you intentionally removed the song files from that computer, you will need to download the songs that are synced to the iPod from your iCloud music library.

IPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

iPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

After connecting it, the light should continue to flash (if you use the Manually manage music or Enable disk use setting), or it should become a solid (not flashing) color (if you use automatic syncing). The light going OFF may indicate that the shuffle is not able to charge. You are using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle (it has a mini-dock), correct?
That problem could be caused by the shuffle itself. Since a 2nd gen shuffle is at least five or six years old at this point, it may be the battery becoming worn out. It may also be a problem on the USB port. As a test, try shutting down (powering off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Is there any difference?

I can't sync iPod classic with iTunes Match since I have updated to iTunes 11

When I open iTunes (11) and connect my iPod (classic) it does not recognise the device. I am using iTunes Match. My question is how do I transfer the music from PC to my iPod? I just bought a new PC and thought getting Match would be useful and save time transferring from my old PC. It was fine to begin with until the iTunes 11 update.
Any help would be appreciated!

The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

Song syncing difficulties on new iPod touch with iTunes match

I've got all my songs backed up on iCloud with iTunes match. I've been able to download most of the songs I've wanted from iCloud to my iPod touch but there a few songs that won't sync and I can't play on my iPod. I've tried to load them on the iPod manually with no success. Suggestions?

Couple of things come to mind. When you've got the list selected in iTunes, do you have Name selected on the top bar so they sort by Name? Try selecting the ^ to the left of name.
If it's a smart list, see [Smart Playlist not syncing as expected|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3044]
Hope that fixes it.

Ipod nano 6th gen. not syncing with itunes match

After the new itunes 11 release I cannot sync my Ipod nano 6th generation with Itunes match without downloading all the songs I want to copy to my ipod to the computer first.
It is a little compersome to download 8Gb to my mac just for syncing and after sync delete them from my computer so that I just stream it again (airbook simply does not have enough space)

iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
You can send feedback on the upgrade here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

Shuffle not working with iTunes Match when 3G is not enabled and the track playing is not the one showing (previous one)

When I use Music on m iPhone on 3G with the downlod disabled on 3G, shuffle is not working.
It stops after each track, as if it was not capable to find the next local track.
Morevoer, it plays a track and show another one. It seems it plays the previous track but show the following.
This makes my iPhone not usable with iTunes Match unless I disable show tracks from iCloud.

Hi Bhushan,
Isuse is with IIS Process. Whether its running on 32bit or 64bit. that's the one who decide which dll they want. So, in above the resolution is
If you are working with 32 bit you can use
string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), @"..\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727");
while the other way for 64 bit IIS Process, you will require
string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), @"..\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727");
Hope this answer will helps some other developers issue.

IPod works with iTunes Match?

How can I synchronize my music (all my music is on the cloud with iTunes Match) with my older iPod?

As the ipod classic cannot connect to the internet at all, then you could not download using match.

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.

I have a problem with iTunes Match...

...and not like an 'oh man, this bolt's too big for this hole' problem, more of a 'hey man, if you don't stop doing that then you and me gona have a problem' problem.
For starters, I found that enabling the iTunes Match service means that I can't manually synch any files or playlists to my device. So when I travel to an area without wifi or phone signal, which happens more than Apple obviously thinks, I can't listen to any of my music. Whose bright idea was that??!
Secondly, when I do enable iTunes Match, I often find that changes I make on my computer (shuffling the order of songs on playlists, adding new files to my library etc.) don't always correlate with the Match service, for instance I made a playlist on my computer but it doesn't appear on my phone, or I set a playlist on iTunes to order itself by the date the files were added, but on my phone they appear in whatever order they **** well please. It unfortunately doesn't 'just work'.
And thirdly, although this isn't really connected to the Match service but rather just a chance for me to vent as I'm already doing it, when I heard they were bringing 'wifi synching' to iOS I was really excited. Then I found out it would only synch while your iDevices were plugged in and charging. THEN I found out that every time I plugged my phone in it would automatically try to synch, waking up my laptop if it wasn't already awake. So every night I would plug my phone in by my bed, turn over to go to sleep, then have to get up 20 seconds later to re-sleep my machine; this could happen at random points during the night.
I'm not expecting Apple to change their products over the dissatisfaction of one disgruntled user, I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problems and has found any ways around them. Also I must say as annoying as certain aspects of iTunes Match are, it's still a fantastic service (in theory...).

I hope they manage to fix the playlists issue, hopefully by the next couple of updates. I figured the syncing/waking thing would be what it was meant to do. I wonder if there's a command line or something I can tweak in settings to stop my Mac waking on LAN/Bluetooth etc....
In System Prefs > Energy Saver > Power Adapter unselect the option for "wake for network access." Although this may have the effect of preventing wireless syncing. I'm not sure.

The downloading of songs is pretty much useless as a feature in my situation, as by the time you're out of signal and can't stream music, neither can you download it (and if I were expected to download it first in case of signal loss then doesn't that negate the need for a streaming music service anyway?!)
iTunes Match doesn't stream to iOS devices, all songs are downloaded. If you have not done so, you can enable "use cellular data" to download music by going to Settings > Store and setting the option to ON. To answer your question, though, yes, pre-downloading of tracks is the "best practice" for using an iDevice with iTunes Match enabled.

How can I access songs that have been uploaded to my iCloud with itunes Match on a different (work) PC?

I have logged in with Itunes Match on my work PC, but after 'gathering information about itunes' Itunes Match says the maximum songs that can be uploaded that were not purchased in itunes is 25000 and iMatch stops. All I want to do is have access and the ability to download songs that iMatch has already uploaded to iCloud from my home PC.
Please Help

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

Playback issues with iTunes Match on iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1)

I'm running into several odd issues when playing songs on my iPhone with iTunes Match enabled. The problems I've experienced are:
A song partially plays, then skips to the next song.
Sometimes songs will not pause, pause after a 2-3 second delay, or pause, then start playing again when I press the pause button.
Sometimes there is a 3-5 second delay when playing songs that have already been downloaded.
Sometimes a song will play distorted, it just sounds like static.
Once, I pressed play on my iPhone and it just started playing random songs, some that had not even been downloaded before.
A few times, when I pressed play on already downloaded songs, nothing happened.
Now, some notes about these problems I've been having: I have a mix of matched, uploaded, and purchased songs. I haven't found a pattern as far as the type of songs that any of the issues occur with. With problem 1, I can kind of understand this happening if the song hasn't completely downloaded, but this happens even for songs that I've downloaded. It doesn't always skip the song in the same place and I can even go right back to the same song and play it all the way through again with no problems. With problem 2, it seems like maybe I'm just being impatient here, however, I'm not sure why there's a delay when these are downloaded songs and the artwork has already been downloaded. Sometimes if I just wait about 10-15 seconds it will finally start playing, but again, that seems odd since I've already downloaded the song. Problem 2 and 3 are kind of similar. I've noticed that sometimes when this happens that I can see the "network processing" indicator in the status bar, but sometimes not. It's a little odd to see my iPhone going out to the network to play a song that I have already downloaded and have the artwork (assuming metadata as well) for the song. Problem 4 has happened just a few times, but usually happens immediately after I unpause the song or start playing a song. Again, I can go back and play the same song normally and have played the same song before previously. Once, it caused the Music app to just crash entirely. Not much to say about problem 5 other than I checked shuffle and it was off. Just a little odd. Not much to say about problem 6 either other than it hasn't happened in a few weeks now.
Sorry for the wall of text, but it just seems that there are a bunch of odd issues going on that I haven't seen anyone else have aside from problem 1. I've already tried turning iTunes Match off and on. I've deleted all songs twice. I haven't jailbroken my phone or anything. I can't find a pattern because it happens with matched, purchased, and uploaded songs. Sometimes it will happen to 1 song, I will try it again some other time on the same song. I listen to music for about 6 hours a day using WiFi and at least one of these problems happens about every 2 days.
Aside from the problems I've been having, the service is great. I do understand it's fairly new and even with all of that, I still think the positives outweigh the negatives, especially for just $25.
I'm lost, though. Anyone have any ideas?
Message was edited by: burakkuchi - Added problem 6.

When I went to restore my phone, I may have found the cause of these problems. I never deleted all of my original synced songs before enabling iTunes Match.
When I just went to do the restore, I figured I'd delete all of my songs, then disable iTunes Match. After deleting about 3.5 GB of music and disabling iTunes Match, I ran the sync to backup my iPhone. It said there was still 2.2 GB of music. I checked my phone just in case and there was 2.2 GB there, probably the original synced songs that I never removed.
Anyway, I'm doing the restore now just in case and will respond tomorrow with how everything is working.
