  • Waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results - time out -uk

    Hi,
    Help me please
    I seem to be stuck in a loop that after the gathering of information has finished, the info is sent to apple and then I get 'waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results' after about 30 or so seconds I then get an error message
    'we could not complete your request, the network timed out, blah blah blah make sure network connection is active'  no error code.
    I am a windows 7 user, I have comodo fire wall, nod32 and sky broadband.
    I have forwarded the ports 80 and 443, i have turned off comodo and disabled nod32, uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled itunes and I am still no further forward.
    My internet connection is fine, i can access and download from the itunes store so there should be no issues, genius is on and working and getting results from apple so what is wrong with match?
    Thanks
    Marc

    Marcus_30,
    thanks, unfortunately tried almost all of that already...
    You must be able to disable the firewall, even just temporarily.
    Did that already, no change
    Plug directly into the router and have nothing else running.
    no change either if connected via Wifi or cable
    I take it that you can connect to the store ok?
    yes, iTunes store is working fine - even can download at the same time I am getting the network timeout error
    Have you been through the re-installing iTunes motions?
    this will be my next step - had hoped to avoid that...

  • ITunes Match Unable To Get Past "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results..."

    Been trying for days but it just gets to "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results..." and then stops and allows me to press the Start button again to start the match process.  Sometimes I get error -3231.
    I've called Apple and they want $19 to solve the issue even though I paid the $25 for Match.
    I've turned iTunes Match off.  Turned Genius off.  Logged out of my iTunes account.  Quit iTunes.  Restarted. Logged back into iTunes account.  Turn Genius on.  Turn iTunes Match back on and let it go through the process again with no success.
    My library has a couple hundred songs less than the 25,000 max but it is pretty large.  Had the same issue when I tried with a smaller library some time ago.  I've created a new library and have the same issue.

    Hi,
    You should consider rebooting your internet router
    Then try holding option key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes and then reopen. Turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer.

  • Waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results

    Out of the blue, iMatch is hung-up on step 1 and displays this in the progress bar
    "waiting for apple to deliver your itunes match results".  Nothing ever happens after that.  Songs that I have been adding since the beginning are in the cloud and play on all my devices -even thought in itunes it indicated that they are not in the cloud. Anything new I have added to my library appears on my other devices as grayed-out and do not play.  They do play on my PC.
    I have a Dell PC with Vista running the latest version of iTunes.
    I have signed in/out
    Turned iMatch (and genious) off/on
    Deauthorized and re-authorized the PC
    restarted iTunes
    restarted the PC.
    I have no other issues with this machine.
    Support has not been able to help other than claiming it is Apple's fault.
    Thanks, VJ

    I had to restart iTunes.

  • I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads.  Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads.  Whaddup?

    I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads.  Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads.  Whaddup?

    Requiring Match to be switched on, even though we have paid, to get ad free Radio can be costly.  Why?
    Because if you want to listen to Radio with cellular data (not much data required) you are also agreeing to Match over cellular which can suck data like you won't believe.

  • Multiple Apple TVs and iTunes Match problem

    I have three Apple TVs and have iTunes Match - my full library of music only shows on one Apple TV - on the other two Apple TVs it displays only recently purchased songs from iTunes - any ideas 

    Maybe I should be more specific...
    We have three atv's. The kids want to play their own iTunes Match playlists on one of the atvs with their apple id and we would like our own iTunes Match playlists on the other atvs. But when we change the apple id on one atv, it changes the id on the other two so that they are all synced. Is there a way to have mutliple atvs with different iTunes Match apple ids active at the same time on the same network?
    I would prefer not to use home sharing to avoid having two iTunes apps open.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Can't download music - seems to be an iTunes Match problem

    I have iTunes Match activated, which is working fine on my iPad and iPhone.  However I cannot download purchased music onto the iMac. 
    In my household there is a shared iMac and each user has a different login & password.  Only I know my login password.  I have been using iTunes successfully on it for years, and have been using iTunes successfully for about 6 months now.  Auto-download has been disabled for several months now because I don't want everything downloaded automatically.  All has been fine until about a fortnight ago when the iMac stopped downloading newly purchased music whenever I clicked the little iCloud icon.  This is for music that I have successfully purchased and downloaded on my iPhone whilst at work, and now want to listen to at home.  Whenever I click the iCloud icon to download the new song I get an error message telling me that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID, and I have to wait 54 days etc to sign in with a new Apple ID.  However I'm certain no other Apple ID has been used with my account - when I go to the Store menu it is showing my current and correct Apple ID. 
    The most telling proof that my Apple ID is correct on both iMac and iPhone (and iPad as well) is that when I plug the iPhone into the iMac, the new music syncs across EXACTLY as it should - and it can then be played without problems.  Both the phone and the computer are correctly logged in to the same Apple ID, which is the same Apple ID that I use for iTunes Match.  Also when I click Store -> Update iTunes Match there appears to be no Apple ID conflict.
    Obviously this is an iTunes Match problem which I cannot resolve, can someone please provide assistance / advice.
    (iPhone 4 with iOS 6, iMac mid 2010 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, single Apple ID for iTunes Store, iTunes Match and iCloud).

  • TS4062 HELP!!!  When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes it gets stuck at step 2 and goes no further.  I have iTunes 10.6.3.25.  It happens all the time.  I have Windows 7.

    Please help.  Every time I try to sync my iphone with itunes it gets stuck at step 2 and just spins.  I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 installed.  I've even shut down and rebooted.  Nothing helps.

    Based on what someone else said, I am getting the "rotating ball of eternal sadness".  Yup.  That about describes it.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Solved my iTunes Match problems on iOS 7

    I updated both my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen Retina) to iOS7 on Sept 19. I use iTunes Match, and observed 3 different issues:
    Some songs on my iPhone wouldn't play
    Some album artwork on my iPhone wouldn't appear
    Radio option didn't appear on the iPad
    All are solved, so I am sharing what I did. I have an iTunes Match library of about 22,000 songs.
    iPhone: I tried turning iTunes Match on an off to no avail. I then set the Music to NOT "Show All Music", and observed that I had several hundred songs loaded in the Music app, some of which were songs that were giving me grief by not playing. Wishing to start fresh, I went to Settings - Usage and looked for the Music app in order to delete all local files. It was not there! This told me that the OS incorrectly thought there was no local music - a database error. But how to delete a database that the system won't acknowledge?
    So I went to the iTunes Store and downloaded a previously purchased album. Going back into Settings - Usage, the Music app now appeared, showing the total file size for the newly downloaded album. I deleted all music from the app, and it worked - the Music app was empty. I turned iTunes Match back ON and poof! Everything loaded back in and after a while all my album artwork was back, and all songs played normally, whether locally stored or streamed. Problem solved by finding a way to completely delete the music database and start over.
    iPad: No radio, soap. Sorry, I couldn't help that bad joke.
    The Music app on the iPad did not have a Radio button. I forced the iPad to restart (hold Home and Screen Lock buttons together for 5 seconds) and when I restarted Music, Radio appeared for a second and then disappeared (!!). I quit Music and restarted it. The Radio button appeared and I quickly hit it, which brought me to the "get started" screen for Radio. Problem solved by repeated restarts (which probably cleared some temp data, allowing the button to appear).
    I don't know if either of these will help others, but if so then great!
    P.S. - the rest of iOS 7 is working very well on both devices, no complaints worth noting. Nice new stuff.

    iPhone5 and iPad 3 both suffering from "Loading iTunes Match..." message forever.
    Can't do anything. 
    Personally, I think the Apple Keynotes/Events should be done on launch day so they can feel our pain and suffering.  Imagine them standing up there trying to launch the new Music app and getting stuck on this.
    Pathetic.  What's worse is that the 5S and 5C come out Friday, so that's a billion more people setting up new phones and hitting the match and music and app servers. 
    It'll probably be a week before things start to settle down. 

  • Apple TV artwork and Itunes Match

    Hi Folks,
    I have recently updated a lot of the album artowork on my itunes on the PC and embedeed this into the files. No issues there.
    When i turn on itunes macth on my apple tv i notice it is dispalying some of the old artwork that was previolsu updated to the cloud and not the new artwork.
    Is there anyway to update this or is it a case that through scanning, Apple TV will cath up?
    Im turned itunes match on my pc off and then on again but so far no joy.
    Any help would be grealty appreciated.
    Thanks folks
    Simon.

    I think there is a problem. No artwork or playlists show on my Apple TV for itunes match. It actually caused the remote app on my devices to stop connecting to my Apple TV too. As soon as I turned off iTunes Match on Apple TV remote could connect again. Bit crap really. I wish I hadn't gone through the whole saga of resetting the Apple TV / rebooting router. Turning iTunes Match back on still has missing art and no playlists & also blocks remote app. Bloody apple, too many problems these days!

  • Itunes match problems with latest Apple TV

    I have a strange problem with iTunes Match on Apple TV (the Latest Apple TV)
    My ipad lists all of my iTunes Match songs, about 10000 or so songs, where as my Apple TV only lists 50 songs.
    I have rebooted Apple TV numerous times.
    I have upgraded Apple TV and fiddled with Apple tv settings.
    My Apple TV can find all music when my Mac and iTunes is turned on, but can only find 50 songs through iTunes match.
    My ipad is on ios6.
    Please help me fix this Apple TV problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to set up homesharing on both devices using the same ID and password.
    Make sure they are on the same network and that your firewall or security software isn't blocking iTunes.

  • This Device is already associated with an Apple ID after subscribed iTune match.

    Since subscribed iTune match, I cannot listen to my music although I enabled iTune Match for my iPad2. Instead, it always displayed "This Device Is Already Associated With An Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 75 days." I only pressed "OK".
    Who could help me or give me suggestions about that.
    Thanks.

    Well, that's a bummer.  I guess Apple thinks no one ever travels.  I live in 2 countries and thus have 2 different accounts with 2 different credit cards.  Now that iTunes match deleted my entire catalogue on my iPad 2 because I signed in with my second country account yesterday to buy an App.  I resigned into my first country account today only to have everything deleted.  No I have to wait a few weeks to put my music back on my iPad until I return to my first country and transfer it from my Mac.  Argh!

  • HT4914 Do I have to have my computer switched on if I have Apple TV and have iTunes Match ?

    Does my computer have to be switched on to access iTunes in the cloud - if I have  Apple TV and ITunes Match ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have an Apple TV, you don't need to turn on the Mac or PC in order to listen to your songs in your Apple TV from iTunes Match, as they are not stored in your Mac or PC

  • Apple Lossless "ineligible" in iTunes Match

    Hi,
    so after successfully re-ripping most of my CDs in Apple Lossless and replacing the existing AAC files in my music library (thanks to fabulous Doug's Scripts), I recently purchased some high resolution music files and converted them from FLAC to Apple Lossless. The audio files show and play correctly as "Apple Lossless audio file" at 24-bit and 96k or 192k in iTunes. However, iTunes Match apparently doesn't know how to deal with them.
    I searched discussions here and found a number of statements that iTunes Match should read and match music in Apple Lossless, match them with compressed AAC versions and use these compressed versions to play on mobile devices.
    Any idea why the high resolution files aren't recognized?
    Both albums exist on iTunes and should be matched.

    What do you mean by "supported"? Supported to do what? Match it against music that's available on iTunes? Why not? I understand if iTunes Match wouldn't upload files with more than 24/48 resolution for their size. But if the album is known, it wouldn't have to be uploaded to be matched. So why this restriction?
    Maybe there's another (technical) reason?
