After re-signing in to iTunes Match hundreds of on-the-go playlists appeared.
For some reason when I turned on my Windows Vista machine last week iTunes asked me to sign-out of the iTunes store and re-sign in. Once I did this iTunes Match was not enabled so I re-authorized the computer and iTunes Match began analyzing my library as it usually does. I left it then came back to hundreds empty on-the-go playlists in my playlists window. Is this a bug or did one of my iDevices mistakenly make all these playlists (I have a iPad 2 and iPhone 4 that all sync with Match) Is there any way to delete all these empty on-the-go playlists en masse?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey John-
I'm having the same problem with my iPad 2/Mac Mini setup. The only way I know of to delete all of them en masse is by using something called Automator on the Mac. The only way that I can think of on Windows would involve deleting the library files (not the media files), and rebuilding. This would mean that you'd have to re-sync your iPad and iPhone, though.
You're definitely not alone with this issue, though. Some bugs definitely need to be worked out with iTunes Match.

Does all my music stay on my MacBook Pro after I sign up for iTunes Match, or does it get removed from my Mac?
Hi,
It remains on your hard drive. iTunes match scans your library to determine if tracks are matched or uploaded. It does not touch the files on your hard drive. You have the option to upgrade tracks for matched versions but you need to delete tracks and download new versions.
You can camn opt to delete tracks from your library. This will free up space and you will be able to stream your music. In any event, I suggest that you back up your music to an external drive.

I have a large music library on my iPad, that is not currently on iCloud or on my main PC. If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will the music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud? Or will I loose all that music?

HT204406 How to download songs to my ipad from icloud after I signed up for itunes match???
I signed up for itunes match on the promise that I would have access to all my music and could download to my devices. But now that they've hooked me for the $24.99, there doesn't seem to be a way to download the music to my ipad (IOS 6). What am I missing?

HT4914 if I sign up with itunes match can i delete the music previously stored on my computer?
I am thinking about doing the itunes match, but when i do should i delete the music previously stored on my mac?
Here is the official answer, from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
"iTunes Match is provided on an “AS IS” basis and may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption or loss of data and/or information, including music, playlist, and play history, from your computer or device and from peripherals (including, without limitation, servers and other computers) connected thereto. You should back up all data and information on your computer or device and any peripherals prior to using iTunes Match. You expressly acknowledge and agree that all use of iTunes Match is at your sole risk." -
I downloaded CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. All my itunes purchased music is on my ipad and iphone cloud. For some reason, while the cloud appears in my library, the CD's that I downloaded (popular ones that itunes recognize) are not showing up on my ipad2 and my iphone4s. When I purchase songs from itunes directly they show up on all i devices (with the cloud icon). In my itunes library all the new downloads from CD's have the icloud icon. However, none of these downloads are showing up on my ipad and iphone as stated above. All my settings are correct. I am sure I am missing something, but not sure what....if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. thanks.

How do I get my music back on my iPhone 5s after signing up for match? No one said it would deleted from my ios device. That was an option for space. I have the large iphone and I use it in my car.

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?
I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****... -

Playlists missing from iOS device after signing out from iTunes Match
Hi, everyone!
I've just signing up to iTunes Match service and after I went Settings > iTunes and App Stores menu and disabling iTunes Match, all of my iOS playlists synced from computer are missing, just the tracks I've wirely synced from my Mac computer are there.
Can anyone have a tip to solve this? I'm kind of disappointed with the service because musics in the cloud take long time to stream to my iOS.I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...

What happens if you rip a CD after signing up to iTunes match?
I am considering signing up for iTunes match as I listen to my music on multiple devices depending where I am. I'm hoping this service makes it easier to manage those devices rather than wishing I had my latest tunes with me when they're at home on the Mac!
Often I buy imported CDs because iTunes won't let you buy tracks from the iTunes store in a country other than the one you signed up to. So I end up ripping those CDs and syncing them to my devices.
Say for example I signup for iTunes match today and my library as it stands is part matched and part uploaded. What will happen if in a month or so I rip a CD. I understand that if it's not available in my iTunes store then I won't get a match but will the track ripped after the initial upload of ripped tracks also upload and be able to be shared down to my other devices via iCloud?
Has anyone tried this, could someone who has done this please let me know how this situation will work.
Thanks so much.It will likely be "uploaded" to iCloud instead of matched, and thus still avaiilable your iTunes 10.5.x systems or iOS 5.x devices as an uploaded song/album.
However, you may find that some of the CD's actually match, believe it or not. I have more than a handful of import CD's that do not show up in the US Store and some of those CD's have matched for me. YMMV of course. -
ITunes Radio not working properly after signing up for iTunes Match
I've been a user of iTunes Radio for some time now, and I've enjoyed it with minimal technical issues - until I signed up for iTunes Match. I'm not sure if it's simply coincidence, or if my subscription is causing issues.
The problem is that when I click on a station, whether it be a Featured Station or one of My Stations, it acts like it will play, but the time bar never comes up below the song title. Instead of showing the status bar when a song is playing, indicating the time lapsed/remaining, it shows a solid blue bar all the way across with no time.
I use Radio on my MacBook Pro (2009) and I also AirPlay my music to two Bose SoundTouch 20 speaker systems. I'm on the latest version of iTunes, my Bose systems are updated with the latest software, and I've never had an issue with this before. I can play songs I own or ones that I want to preview in the iTunes Store just fine through all of my speaker systems. What's interesting is that my NPR station in Radio works fine, though that one doesn't allow for AirPlay.
I'm also having identical issues from my iPhone 5s. Though I can only play to one AirPlay device at a time from my iPhone, the symptoms are otherwise the same. Downloaded songs play fine; iTunes Radio freaks out and gives the "Station Temporarily Unavailable" message. Except it's not temporary, unless you consider two months of this irritation temporary...
Here's what I've tried so far:
Logging out of iTunes, restarting and logging back in.
Resetting my Bose AirPlay speakers.
Turning off the Bose SoundTouch App and Music Server App on my computer.
Disconnecting my Bose AirPlay speakers from power altogether.
Restarting computer and resetting iTunes Cache and Warnings.
None of those attempts at fixing this issue has resolved anything. I'm at a bit of a loss for help here, and I really don't want to start uninstalling and reinstalling programs if it can be avoided. If there's a way to unsubscribe from iTunes Match, I'd want to try that first as that seemed to be when things started becoming non-responsive. If Apple provides a way to fix iTunes or the iTunes Match service without charging me a $29 support fee, I think that would be great, but I haven't seen one.
Anyone encounter this before? Anyone at Apple listening? I'd greatly appreciate any help.Try it in Cellular as a quick test. Mi had lots of troubles and isolated the issue to Cox communications. May be an ISP issue.

Windows 7 64 itunes 10.5.2 64 - I receive the following error message when opening iTunes - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.
When I try to sign out iTunes freezes and I need to shut down windows entirely to get it to open again.
Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?After many annoying sign-in-out-iTunes-match-activation problems I found an easy solution for me. When the iTunes Cloud symbol is broken (and I should sign in again) I just deactivate my notebooks (Windows 7) Wifi (with Fn+F5 for my Thinkpad).Then I call up the Itunes store and iTunes tells my that there is no connection to the internet (most probaply this step is not necessesary). After manual re-activation of my Wifi iTunes seems to re-establish the connection and the Cloud symbol signalizes that iTunes match does work, again.
Hope, this helps. -

Itunes freezes on launch ever since signing up for iTunes Match
Ever since I signed up for iTunes Match, iTunes on my Mac Mini freezes up right after launch... Help!
Hi, I had a similar problem but in Windows. The help page for that is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717 and although I've searched, I can't find the equivalent for a Mac mini. Anyway, I'm posting because what worked for me was to delete the 'local' and 'roaming' profiles. They are re-created automatically and iTunes then works fine. But, as soon as you try to sign in to the iTunes store - BANG. It freezes every time and you have to delete those profiles again.
So I think this is a definite bug with iTunes that is linked to the sign-in process. Hence why it is affected by iTunes Match. I don't believe it's a memory issue; the problem is repeatable and no other applications are running. Do try running it without signing-in and see how you get on . . .
Good luck.
Francis
