I don't know what you mean by this. Do you mean you can't figure out how to get off that screen? Click the "done" button.
This is just to say that I managed to sync with iTunes Match, in my other notebook I can not do the songs appear.

You're connection the iTunes Match servers is offline. That's why the songs are greyed out and the cloud icon has the horozontal lines in it. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, re-launch the application and wait until the tracks are no longer greyed out and you will be able to download them.
That part you answered, thanks.
How often iTunes Match is off? Sometimes?

Problem with iTunes Match and the song "This will be (an everlasting love)" from Natalie Cole

Hello,
I'd like to report a problem with iTunes Match and Natalie Cole's song "This will be (an everlasting love)".
When I stream it or download it on another device I don't get Natalie Cole's song but another one from Maxine Nightingale (Right back where we started from).
Please tell me if you have the same problem or how I can report this problem to apple.
Thank you.

Hi,
This is a user to user forum - not Apple. Contact them http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Alternatively if the song was purchased from iTunes, you may be able to report the problem by signing into you iTunes account on your computer. Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

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.

HT204406 Problem with iTunes match cutting off a song on my iPhone, not Mac or PC

I have purchased the Katy Perry album "Prism" outside of iTunes and matched it with iTunes match. When I try to play the first song "Roar" on my iPhone, it plays only part of it and then cuts off and plays the second song. This only happens on my iPhone, when I use iTunes match to play the song on either my mac or PC using iTunes, the song plays fine without any issues.
I've tried turning off iTunes match, and then starting it again, no luck. I powered off, then on my iPhone, no luck. I've downloaded the song out of the cloud and still has the same problem... anybody have this problem too or can help?

Some additional observations:
When I look at the album, the song "Roar" has a length of "2:05", but once I play the song by pressing it, the song begins playing and the slider shows a length of 3:39 (close to the correct length). However, once it hits 2:03, it stops and starts playing the next song.
Interestingly, using iTunes on my mac, the song in the album view shows "2:04" but once I double-click the song, the length changes to "3:43", but plays the complete song without any problems.

Numerous problems with iTunes Match and synching.

I've been having problem after problem after problem in the wake of subscribing to iTunes Match.
1) iTunes unable to accurately determine how much space is being used on iPod harddrive (says harddrive is overcapacity by ridiculous amount of gigabites).
2) Multiple matched songs unable to load to iPod. I count 27 songs that are faulty. I've had to delete songs in iTunes and re-download them.
3) Songs showing up multiple times on iPod. Even some albums are showing up twice.
This is seriously the most faulty Apple service / software upgrade I have ever had the misfortune of testing. I've deleted my iPod once thinking maybe it was just a faulty backup. No, it's just something inherent in the latest iTunes/iPod software upgrade or maybe it's something wrong with iTunes Match.
Bottom line: things aren't working as smoothly as they are supposed to.

I agree! I simply made a short playlist on my iPad, and a few minutes later, it had been duplicated 16,000 times on iPhone, iPad, and desktop Mac. It took a trip to apple store to correct. I had to turn itunes match off and then on again on each device. However it is recurring now just a few days later without me even making a new playlist.
I too have had trouble with being unable to play MANY songs that have matched on my devices. Artwork that is present on the computer isnt going to other devices. Random crashes on iDevices.
This product REALLY isnt ready for prime time. As an Apple fan-boy, I'm embarassed. C'mon Apple.

Syncing problems with Itunes and Ipod Help?

Okay..I don't even know what's been happening with the newest Ios 5 update for apple products, but since the update, my ipod hasn't been able to synch with Itunes.
For example, I manually organize all my music and when I edit the album artist or the album artwork etc, it would show up in Itunes perfectly, but on the Itouch, nothing has been changed. This means that not only does it now show the album artwork that I set up in Itunes, but also all the artists as well. I've seen many people so far having this problem, but through all the solutions people have said, none have worked for me. Another problem is that it also mix and matches all the songs I have downloaded as well. Only the songs I purchase seem to be alright.
I have tried many things from restoring my Itouch and re-downloading music, manually re-synching my Itouch to see if the artists will show up, but to no avail, it hasn't worked.
Please help me. It's getting quite frustrating that nothing is synching since the newest ios 5.1.1 update. Thank you

The ipod touch will only sync to one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will indeed erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
Sign into your account on the computer, make sure it is authorized, then connect the ipod:

Big problem with iTunes Match and subscription renewal -- think twice before you sign up!!

A little over a year ago I signed up for iTunes Match thinking it would be an excellent way to free up some space on my drive and save me some time by providing access to all of my music on my phone/ other devices. About 100gbs was uploaded without incident. I deleted that music from my drive thinking that iTunes match is like any other cloud based service. In August my subscription came up for renewal. In August I had also switched debit cards. The auto-renew failed. I received notification of such and then went to update my new card information with the account. The card information updated successfully, but when i then went to update my iTunes Match I would receive the error message #5002. So I called customer support. They politely agreed to rectify the situation and that I was not the only customer to face this situation, but said it would require contacting engineering to get a hard fix since in order for an account to renew a subscription they have to purge the library. This is fine because all of your iTunes account purchases are already backed-up. But it is not okay, if you have any other 3rd party music in your library. All of the 3rd party music I had uploaded from old CDs, converted LPs, or purchased through other online vendors would have to be deleted in order to renew my subscription. Engineering replied that there was no work around. This has left me at a weird impasse with customer support with no resolution. The music is just sitting there. I'm gladly willing to pay to renew my subscription, but because of bad engineering, deceptive advertising, and what I'm guessing is a greedy internal policy regarding 3rd party media, I stand to lose the couple thousand bucks just by being a loyal Apple consumer and choosing to use their product over alternatives in the market like Google Play. The morale of the story is this: ITUNES MATCH IS NOT A REAL CLOUD BASED SERVICE EVEN THOUGH IT IS ADVERTISED AS SUCH. Think twice before you sign up!

Hello Michael, I've been reading many of your splendid replies so perhaps you can help me as I can't seem to find the exact solution to what should be a simple problem. I got a new iPod Touch recently and after spending almost 3 hours on the phone with Apple today we discovered my account was so old it hadn't synched up correctly with Apple's new data requirement so an Apple manager was connected to me and eventually we solved several issues which I won't bother going into here. However, at some point in all this I saw Match show up and music from the iCloud was seemingly downloaded onto my new iPod. I was surprised to see this as I thought I'd done away with Match long ago, but with the new version of iTunes which eliminated over 300 playlists and all of my music from iTunes when it updated to the newest version last week, I suppose anything is possible.
What I want to do now is simply to be able to put my own music back onto my new iPod and ignore everything related to Match hoping it goes away and never returns. So I followed the online instructions to turn off Match, and now iTunes and my iPod say I need to subscribe to iTunes Match...but I still cannot download anything onto my new iPod and the 15,000 plus songs that appeared to be downloaded earlier when on the phone with an Apple manager are also no longer available. BTW, my Match subscription should be paid for, but I can't even figure out how to make sure it never gets updated again as this is nasty business scrubbing all 3rd party music off our own devices. Yuk. But can you help me please? Thus far, this experience with this new iPod Touch and the new iTunes 12.1 is the worst experience I have ever had with Apple and I own many Apple products.

I suppose it is the problem with socket connection,Please help

Hi,
I'm trying to build a chat server in Java on Linux OS.I've created basically 2 classes in the client program.The first one shows the login window.When we enter the Login ID & password & click on the ok button,the data is sent to the server for verification.If the login is true,the second class is invoked,which displays the messenger window.This class again access the server
for collecting the IDs of the online persons.But this statement which reads from the server causes an exception in the program.If we invoke the second class independently(ie not from 1st class) then there is no problem & the required data is read from the server.Can anyone please help me in getting this program right.I'm working on a p4 machine with JDK1.4.

You're connecting to the server twice. After you've successfully logged in, pass the Socket to the Messenger class.
public class Messenger {
    Socket connect;
    public static void main(String args[]) {

Problems with iTunes match

I'm having problems with my iTunes account in my Macbook. None of the music I have in the cloud is accessable to me. A few days ago I tried to update music on my iPod and instead of adding music it erased almost everything on it. After that much of my music collection was grey. I tried all sorts of things, such a reinstalling iTunes and nothing helped. I asked today in the Apple store and an employee there suggested I de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer. The sum result now being that none of my music in the cloud is visible. Strangely enough, I can still see and play the music from my iPad and iPhone. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Karl

I had a similar problem in the first 2 days after IOS 7 was released. iTunes Match would not update, and previously matched tunes showed "waiting". After many attempts to resolve the problem... Re authorizing my computer, numerous forced updates iTunes Match... the problem has resolved itself. As of Sept. 22, all functions have returned to normal. Playlists and artwork for 110G working, and access able from all my devices.

I am having 2 big problems with itunes match / icloud - i welcome any advice!

So I finally have all my music itunes match / icloud and for the most part I am satisfied but I have 2 huge glaring problems I can't seem to fix. I emailed Apple and awaiting a reply but not holding out much hope there...
1. Compliation don't work right via itunes match / icloud - I have a few large compilations albums & they display correct on my local itunes library. I have the tags set right, I have normalized the album artists, made sure my genre's are clean, etc. but when I let this match / upload to itunes match / icloud - my compilations are repeated via icloud many times. I have a large compilations called "singles" & it displays perfect on my local itunes. But via icloud it's listed 5 times. I have tripled checked my tags and reset them again and again. No matter what I do, I can't get my compliation abums to show up just a single time in my icloud list.
Th problem is now that I am allowing my iphone and ipad's music to be managed by itunes match / icloud, these compliations are showing up on those devices 3-5 times for each. So my album list is one huge jumble of repeated Albums.
Any advice??
2. Album artwork missing - On my local itunes, I have good album artwork for all albums, but when I let these match and upload via itunes match / icloud, several albums lose their artwork when displaying or downloading to my IOS devices. So I end up with a lot of blank songs / albums. Also very annoying.
So, on the whole I like the itunes match / icloud service, but I really wish I could figure out how to solve these two problems. Any advice?

If you have not already done so, I suggest set an Album Artist of "Various Artists" and make sure the "part of a compilation" option is selected in the metadata for the album. See if that helps the display.

Do a search on the forum. There are already several threads discussing this issue.
