Can I purchase and turn on iTunes Match from my iPhone 5 with out a computer? And if so how?

You can't do it from your phone. If they are iTunes purchased songs then you should be able to copy them to your laptop via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources, anf i you haven't got them on your backup of your library, then you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page which might work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
You might also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • HT204406 Does anyone else have to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and "Turn On iTunes Match" for it to become available and working on a second computer??

    Everyday I get to work and open iTunes. Everyday the iTunes Match logo next to my library is constantly working and never stops. The only way I can have access to my iTunes Match library is to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and "Turn On iTunes Match" immediatly after. It checks libraries and then everything is available.
    Is there a reason and a way to have my iTunes Match to work as soon as I open iTunes?
    The requirements are met:
    iTunes: 10.6.3 (25)
    OS X: 10.6.8
    Thanks
    Marc

    Thanks for the tip, unfortunately that did not work for me.  I turned off match and let it sit for over 3 hours and music never disappeared.  I made sure to turn off auto-lock so the iPhone/iPad didn't go to sleep and neither device ever cleared out the music so I just restored from iCloud backup.
    Now the other thing thats strange is I still have autolock turned off and both devices are sitting on the music app and on my iPhone I have the cloud icon going with the status bar and took 3 hours to get it complete the first time and then someone called me and foolishly answered the phone and then it started all over again.  On my iPad I don't see the cloud icon but i have the spinning wheel going in the corner for almost 24 straight hours now.  I have all my music/artwork back but none of my playlists so I am going to let both these devices sit until the spinning circle stops. 
    I do have a large library of just under 25,000 songs so maybe thats why its taking so long but I haven't had this issue before iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.

  • I have an iPhone and just goy I pad but no computer I'm trying to synch them together but having trouble with iCloud and I can't seem to subscribe for iTunes match from either devise

    I have an iPhone and just goy I pad but no computer I'm trying to synch them together but having trouble with iCloud and I can't seem to subscribe for iTunes match from either devise

    You first have to subscribe to iTunes Match through iTunes on your computer and have your music library in iTunes uploaded/matched before you can enable it on your iOS devices (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Without a computer you won't be able to use iTunes Match.

  • I turned on itunes match on my iphone, but still seeing lots of artists without the cloud icon???

    Hi ...
    I turned on itunes match on my iphone, selected "enable" and first turned OFF the slider that says "show ALL music" ... I still saw a bunch of artists (about 100)
    Then I turned the slider to ON and saw about 600 artists (as it should be), but those 100 artists do NOT have the cloud icon next to them (meaning that somehow the music is actually "ON" the iphone) ...
    can someone explain?? I thought it would be empty except for icloud, and then the things I download from icloud??

    If they do not have the cloud next to them on your iOS device, it means that the song is cached on your device.  As your device runs low on space, it clears the cached songs and you'll see the cloud next to it.  Each time you listen to a song, the song is actually downloaded while you listen.  Next time you listen, it's off the device, not the cloud.

  • Error message when turning on iTunes Match on my iPhone 5

    When I try to turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone 5, i get the following error message:
    "You are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe."
    I have subscribed. and I updated earlier today. I signed in and out of sharing.

    Reading some older threads from 2012 and 2011 it appears the problem was present even then.  Part of the problem was due to people using multiple or different account id's on the various devices.  In my case, I only have one ID and it is the same on all devices yet the iPhone and iPad are still throwing the same error when I try turning on iTunes Match.  This is very frustrating . . . any help out there?  Thanks.

  • I recently had to do a complete system restore how do i transfer my itunes library from my iphone back onto my computer

    I recently had to do a complete system restore on my computer. How do i transfer the itunes content from my iphone back onto my computer?

    You don't.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer. Certainly you did not restore your system without making sure that your backup copy was up to date.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • TS2755 I would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer. (I have verizon as a carrier)

    Hey:
    Hi everyone.
    would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer.
    (I have Verizon Wireless as a carrier), I have tried the app store but it is okay for one messgae but not for hundreds.
    Can you help me.
    Thank you in advance. Happy Thanks Giving.

    There is no Apple provided way to save text messages to a computer.
    The iPhone backup done via iTunes or iCloud, will backup the messages but they are not accessible on the computer.
    A google search may reveal options to saving the messages to the computer.

  • HT4913 If the music library on my iPhone will be deleted when I enable iTunes Match, does that mean that I will not be able to access that music library when I temporarily turn off iTunes Match on the iPhone, e.g., when on the subway & can't connect to Ma

    I have subscribed to iTunes Match and have employed it to listen to music on my Macbook Air and iMac.  On these devices it seems to operate by streaming music to the device rather than deleting the device's current iTunes library and downloading songs as they are played from iTunes Match. Not so on the iPhone as far as I can tell. Consequently, to date I have not activated iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S.  I presently have 40-50GB's of music on my iPhone, sync'd from my iTunes music library on my Macbook Air.  I am concerned that if I enable iTunes Match on my iPhone I will lose the music library already on my iPhone, as Apple seems to be representing that once iTunes Match is enabled on the iPhone the current music library, carefully compiled, will be gone from the iPhone forever (unless I later re-sync it from the iTunes library on my laptop), that it will be deleted.  Although this would free up a lot of space on my iPhone, I bought the 64GB phone just so that I could keep a lot of music on it and accessible at all times.  I am concerned that in certain instances, say if I am in the subway and want to listen to music on my iPhone but  don't have internet access below ground, that I won't have much music to listen to, only those songs previously played and thus downloaded onto the phone from iMatch, presenting me witrh a rather limited choice of music to play instead of the 40-50GB's I now have to choose from. Apple seems to have presented me with the choice of the lesser of 2 evils: i) enable iTunes Match and lose the music library already on the iPhone in exchange for access to iTunes Match and a greater number of songs than I can fit onto the phone (my library exceeds the phone's capacity) when a Cloud connection is available or ii) don't enable iTunes match and limit myself to only those songs, a considerable portion of my library to be sure but not all of it, that I can fit in the phone's storage space, i.e., the 40-50 GB's I have on there now.  If I choose the latter course, each time I purchase an album I'll have to delete another album to make room for it on the phone.  Apple thus offers me a sort of Hobson's choice, bad all the way around.  Do I have this right? The Apple techs I've spoken to don't seem to have a handle on the "deletion" aspect of enabling iTunes Match on the iPhone.   Right now, I'm too scared of "losing" my iPhone music library to enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. [Possible work-around, albeit a pain in the ***: I suppose that I can enable iTunes Match on the iPhone and spend the next couple of weeks 24/7 downloading songs from my iTunes Match library back onto the phone to replace at least some of those deleted when Match was enabled, thereby rebuilding a proxy library on the phone itself to play when I'm stuck in a tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan while maintaining access to thee larger iTunes Match library, more music than my phone will hold, once we come back into the light and my Cloud connection is restored.] Comments, suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Turn off and turn on iTunes Match will reset the library?

    All the music stored in my iPhone is downloaded from my iTunes Match account.
    Today, I turned off  iTunes Match in the "Settings"->"Music" my mistake and I turned on it immediately after that.
    I found that my whole library was wiped off and all of the music had been re-downloading...
    Is it possible to keep the files after turning on iTunes Match since all of them were downloaded from iCloud. It's a really waste of time and bandwidth to re-download the whole library.
    thank you.

    User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

  • HT5637 No way to turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1

    I subscribed to iTunes Match today in iTunes on my PC. My iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 doesn't have a "iTunes Match" button, but a link labeled "Subscribe to iTunes Match". Will the button appear later? When I click the link and click the Subscribe button on the iPhone, it says I'm already subscribed and to go to Settings to turn on iTunes Match.

    An iTunes Match button has (finally) appeared. Never mind :-)

  • I cant turn off itunes match on my iphone

    i recently reset my iphone to factory settings. Everything seems to be set up correctly but when I try to sync music from Itunes to my Iphone it tells me Itunes match is on. On Itunes itself it says match is off. On my phone it says its on and when I toggle it off it goes right back on. Is there a way to disable itunes match altogether...it stinks.

    I have turn off iTunes Match in my iCloud and my Music settings. I want to download from my Mac the old school way. But when I go back to settings, iTunes Match is back on by itself. How do you turn this off????????

  • How can i sync my iTunes library from my iPhone with my new mac mini

    The iphone is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything from the backup copy of your computer computer to your new one.
