Apple should make iTunes Match management better.

When you play a song on your phone via iTunes Match, the audio file still on the phone, so it can be played offline on the go. The problem is, the cloud button still appearing and theres no way to delete those songs in order to set free space.
I created a smart playlist to view the local songs and it worked... i have more than 100 offline songs, they still appear as not downloaded... so if i click download the song will be duplicated.
How can i delete the songs without restoring the phone and start all over again and again...?

Turn match off, then back on to clear those (Settings app > Music). You are better off downloading tracks rather than simply streaming to prevent that.

How to make iTunes Match not convert my files ALACs in 256 kbps (VBR)? How to get iTunes to convert CDs to Apple loselss?

How to make iTunes Match not convert my files ALACs in 256 kbps (VBR)? How to get iTunes convert CDs in Apple loselss? The difference between 256 (VBR) and Apple Losless is very clear...

Dear Michael, good day!
1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
-Settings > iTunes & App Store.
-Settings > Music
I switched OFF in both.
NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
{All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete.
3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
4. Switched back On iTM
5. Taped Music app on Home screen
iTM has started – (it took 18 minutes to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
Regret to inform… All the same:
Erase and reset to factory default? Or I did smf wrong?

Apple should make a way to input the passcode into iTunes!

Apple should make a way to input the passcode into iTunes! If your screen is broke and you have a passcode you cannot backup your device or anything! We should be able to enter the phone passcode in iTunes to bypass entering it on the phone! I cannot do anything when my screen is black without erasing the entire phone!

Using multiple Apple ids for iTunes match

Hi,
I have one Apple id that I use for downloading music and apps on both iTunes and my ios devices, as well as itunes match. I have another that I use for for icloud. My iTunes match subscription is due to expire and I want to use my icloud apple id as my new iTunes Match apple id. If I made purchases with the prior apple id, and used that id for iTunes Match, and now want to change the iTunes Match apple id to my icloud apple id, will iTunes Match sync my music with the new apple id even though the purchases were made on the older id? Or do I have to use the same apple id for iTunes Match that I used to purchase the music in my iTunes library?
Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks,
Steven

iTunes Match can not be transferred to another Apple ID. It is a associated with the iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase it. You can, however, change your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40

Can I use multiple apple ids with iTunes Match?

My family has multiple apple ids although we share many devices. If we subscribe to iTunes Match, will it pull all the content from all the devices or just one apple id?

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store account. To use iTM on multiple devices all those devices must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same AppleID.

HT204053 how do i change the apple ID on iTunes match.....

I am having terrible problems with duplicates on Itunes plus problems with syncing with Icloud. Realised that rather than adding my icloud apple id to Itunes match, I have added my original ID which I use for purchases. Ideally would like to bring these together under one account but to solve this initial problem I think changing my Itunes Match ID will help! Please can someone let me know how I can change the ID?
Look forward to finding someone who can help me...!

You can change your apple id at appleid.apple.com to a different, non-apple id email.
But for what your after, this wont help. You can't transfer purchases from one apple id to another. You may just have to purchase it again on the right id. You could try for a refund at expresslane.apple.com but doubt you'll get it.

Apple id and itunes match

My wife and I just purchased a MacBook Pro retina and we are trying to do the iTunes match. Unfortunate I'll be were getting an error that says "this computer is already associated with an Apple ID you cannot download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days". Wondering if there's a way around this. Thank you.

Hi,
You can only use one Apple ID for iTunes Match. Read the following support documents as you may run into problems if you use another Apple ID.

Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match?

Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match similar to searching for a movie in Netflix.

I'm not sure I understand. You access iTunes Match via the music section, there are different categories and you select artist to search through the artists in your music library.

Apple should make a macBook where the screen can turn around and become touch screen, for easier use

Apple should make a macBook where the screen can turn around and become touch screen, for easier use. especially for when i go to uni

Why touch and swivel screens arent a good idea on a laptop:
The so-called Gorilla arm: Gorilla arm is a term describing the tired arms users get after reaching out and touching a screen for a long time.
Added thickness: Touch screen panels are usually thicker than non-touch ones—especially if the touch panel has an active digitizer for pen support.
Possibly shorter battery life: Touch screens require more power. Laptop Magazine compared a couple of touch screen laptops with their non-touch counterparts (same model and size) and found that the non-touch laptops lasted over an hour longer.
Easy to break: Swivel screens are notoriously prone to break, especially the hinge and the cable that feeds the screen from the logic board which is being constantly twisted.
And thats what the Ipad is for.

Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod

Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod because the ipos photo can send photos to the computer is it possible to send songs

"Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod'
Apple have designed the iPod deliberately so that the transfer of music is by default one way from iTunes to iPod. The most likely reason is to discourage the use of the iPod for widespread music file sharing. This is a logical step for such a high profile company to take in the current environment. It's especially relevant considering that Apple has to work closely with the music companies to maintain the iTunes Music Store.

Will apple pay work with the iphone 5s.? Atleast the online payment system can work fine with touch ID.. Apple should make a note of this.

Apple pay is great feature introduced with the new iphone's. But for 5s users who are not gonna upgrade this year, apple is a requirement. Sure they can use it via apple watch. But apple pay with the online payment system can be used via the touch id, i feel.. Apple should make a note of this and enable it for users.

Probably not, as the 5s doesn't have NFC capability.

Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX. It should be structurally immune to phishing etc

Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX. It should be structurally immune to phishing etc and could be sold easily as a secure alternative. It should be based on structural hardware based security as has been demonstrated in the iOS operating system and the hardware should be made in secure facilities in the US. Those Chinese put weaknesses into the hardware they make as has been documented on 60 minutes.

Apple's entry in the server market has come and gone - is there a question in there somewhere?

Apple should make Bluetooth equipment not Mac OS specific.

I have bought Mighty Mice and wireless keyboards from Apple and wireless mice and keyboards from Logitech. I also had one high-grade Microsoft wireless mouse. I have a few thoughts about them.
(1) The new Microsoft mouse was out in a couple of months. (Made in China, poor quality, terrible!)
(2) Apple' Mighty Mice and wireless keyboards are pretty but too much trouble in connection and search of reconnection. The devices are so much tied to the version of Mac OS, very inconvenient, especially for someone like me in the transition between Mac OS 10.11 and Mac OS 10.5.5, the Apple's might mice and wireless keyboards are headaches. Apple should make the Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard equipment specific (my laymen's term, excuse me!) In another words, they should be connected to the computer's Bluetooth automatically as soon as the computer is booted up, without the support from individual version of the ongoing Mac OS.
(3) Logitech's mouse and keyboard work in different version without losing the contact between the switch of Mac OSs. However, they will be more attractive if they are designed the look and functions like the Apple's Mighty mouse and keyboard.

OK, I finally got my BT keyboard to 1) initially pair (I migrated to a new machine) and, 2) to reliably pair after a re-start.
It took some time to actually get the KB to pair with the new laptop. I was able to do this after zapping the PRAM and installing fresh batteries. But, on booting, the keyboard would not re-pair. I would fiddle with the keyboard power switch, and turning BT off/on. This does not make a BT KB useful with a laptop.
Anyway, I found a tip somewhere that suggested re-installing 10.5.6 from the Combo update (I was already at 10.5.6 from Software Update). I did this, and the problem appears to be fixed! After a reboot the KB pairs with my laptop. Yeah!
Eight hours later, problem solved.

Apple should make a feature on itunes where you can use to make your ipod make a noise so you can find it.

The only way right now to locate your ipod touch is through mobile me and that still wouldn't be able to locate an ipod in your house! They should make it so you can make the device synched to your library, remotley make a noise so that you can find it! Lets convice Apple that they should include it in the next itunes update! Lets get this discussion noticed!!

I use https://me.com/find/ and it shows me where my ipod Touch or iPhone are on a google map. It can also send a messgae or sound. I have used it to find my iPod touch.
All discussions here are between users like you and me, Apple does not read these discussions.
