Can I use itunes match to transfer my library from a pc to a mac?

Hi All,
I was trying to avoid the external hard drive method of copying my itunes library from a pc to a mac.  I thought match would make it easier.  Can I sign up for match on my pc and then download the 256k files from the clould to my mac?  Thanks!!!

yes that should be possible ... at least it worked for me ...

    Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!
    - Music was purchased outside of iTunes store
    - On a vacation
    - iPhone 4 has all my music
    - No access to iTunes
    - Want to buy a new iPhone 5s on vacation but this is holding me back

    Honestly, I've never used iTunes Match.
    Keep in mind that iTunes Match is only for music, any other media content would not be affected.
    Also, pictures synced to the device from a computer will not be moved over unless the new device is restored from a backup on that computer.
    Personaly, unless the current iPhone was damaged or otherwise acting as if on it's last leg, I'd wait.  There may be better options in 3 months.

  • HT1473 Can I use iTunes-match to transfer my iPhone music to my iTunes blank Library?

    I lost all my iTunes music due to my computer not working anymore, so i bought a new computer and the only place where i have my iTunes music saved is in my iPhone. As yall know already, if i synced my phone with this new iTunes i wil lose all my music expect for the purchases, of course. Would i be able to use iTunes-match to transfer music from my phone to this blank iTunes?

    yes that should be possible ... at least it worked for me ...

  • Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

    I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
    However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
    At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing.  I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
    Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • Can I use my iPhone to transfer my library from one computer to another?

    I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my desktop to my laptop. Is there an easy way to do this by using my iPhone? I found instructions for how to do it with an iPod but I wasn't sure if that would be the same for iPhone.

    Here's an article that may help. As roaminggnome said, you cannot use the iPhone for this.

  • I can't use iTunes Match without credit card???

    Hi!
    I have no credit card.Can I use iTunes Match without credit card?

    From this Apple KB article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914>. 
    You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.
    So, yes, or a PayPal account.

    iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

    Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

    iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

    Can I use iTunes Match on my Sonos with my iPhone and iPad?

    I have Sonos. No, it won't use iTunes match. It will allow you to stream your itunes media, but only the files you have on a hard drive on your network.
    ETA: It does let you play other internet services such as Spotify though.

    Without a computer you will not be able to do any managing of the music in the cloud. There is no way to edit any metadata on an iOS device.
    Also, iTunes Match is not a backup service and should not be relied up as such. With no computer you will not have any backups of your music.

    Not really, no. I suppose in theory, but there is no way to manage the library, or retrieve the match contents for back up or other purposes.
