Why can't I access my 4,600 some ICloud songs from my MacBook?

I recently purchased an Apple MacBook, 10.7.5. I updated the itunes application to the newest version. Then I signed in and made sure that this new device was authorized on my account. Then I proceeded to connect to the cloud to download songs that I uploaded as well as purchased. The only ones I can gain access to are the purchased songs. That leaves me with over 4,000 uploaded/matched songs that I cannot access. My itunes freezes up when connecting to the cloud so I cannot even see all my music. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!

FYI, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same services. They are separate and distinct and one does not require the other.
Also, iTunes Match is not the most efficient way to transfer your music to a new computer. See the following Apple KB articles:

  • Why can't I access the playlist button when adding songs to a playlist?

    Under iOS 6, when editing a playlist (adding music to it), I had access to the playlist button in order to add all the music from one playlist to another. Under iOS 7, one can only access the song, artist, album, and composer buttons from the Edit/+ screen. So if I want to add 5 songs that I know are together on another playlist, I have to find them again in an alphabetical list?  Yikes, a severe downgrade in functionality under ios7. Will this ability return or am I just missing something obvious that should let me do it?

    In an effort to go minimalist they went brain-dead. I have a library of over 7,000 songs. I create my playlists through playlists when I am on the go. And I rarely ever create a new playlist at the computer because I rarely even use my computer, much less synch my iphone/itunes manually with it.
    And not only did they eliminate the add from playlist feature, you cannot edit an existing playlist while “on the go” - only those created after i0s 7. Also, you can no longer create a playlist by selecting the genre. But wait - you can select the “Composer". Really?! I don't listen to my music by Composer. Whose idea was that. Now am I supposed to reorganize my music library and categorize songs by Composer?
    As the other poster said, the "on the go" list is now virtually unusable. Now I have to go to the computer (which I rarely do). They really took the on-the-go/music app back to ipod-2008. Really a huge leap backwards.

  • Why can't I open my iPhoto library on my Mac from my Macbook?

    I'm trying to open my Iphoto library on my Mac Mini.  It's on a Thunderbolt drive on the Mini.   It's formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).   Iphoto is obviously closed on the Mini.  When I try to open the libary from my Macbook Pro, I get the error "Unable to write to library Iphoto Library.  Check that you have permission to write to the library directory.
    I believe I do have permission - on the drive permissions are for everyone and me read/write.
    Any ideas?   I'd love to be able to open it from 2 macs...

    The drive should be formatted as follows:

    Hey GingCarv,
    Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

    Note: At this time, movies are not available for automatic downloads.

  • I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

    I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like  the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
    APPLE. What are you doing?

  • Why can't I access my icloud email on Chrome?

    Why can't I access my iCloud email on Chrome? I can open it, read one email and then it freezes > both on my mac and on my pc!  After an upgrade I can't access "mail" either, which is why I resorted to iCloud on chrome.

    Your profile states 10.6.8. The system requirements for mail is 10.7.5 or later

  • Why can't I access photoshop cs6 on my computer?

    Details: I launch the program and it prompts me to sign into my adobe account. I click "sign in," and then it loads for awhile. It then displays an error message specifying that I am not connected to the internet or that my pc's clock is not properly synched. I reset my internet connection and synched my clock , but to no avail. The same error message is displayed every time. Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hey Pete,
    I'm using Windows 7 and I don't think I have any firewalls. But it has recently come to my attention that before my brother gave me this computer, he installed Clock Stopper to extend free trial programs. It's since been uninstalled, but could that program have messed up my clock permanently?
    Thanks

    Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

    Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.

    Apple doesn't have any say in the matter. it's up to the owner of the distribution rights for the music.

  • Why can't i access the app store on my iphone 5

    Please why can't I access the app store on my iPhone 5....it keep saying can't access.. I'm from Nigeria

    Go to settings, then scroll down to appstore and itunes store. Then tap id and sign out. Next, sign in again.
    Or restart the device by holding power button until red slider appears. Slide it. After the iphone turns off. Hold the power button to turn it backon. Then try the solution above.
