Can't connect to iTunes Match

Some odd things have been happening to my account. First, I couldn't buy apps or music with my phone. Then iTunes Match stopped working.
I managed to rectify the phone problem by changing my apple id's password across the board.
I turned it off and turned it on again (iTunes Match in iTunes, that is) but now it won't connect properly. It fails at 'Step 1: Gathering information about your iTunes library'. Then it says my network connection was reset.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Do you use the apple ID and password?
Have you subscribed to imatch?

HT204406 iTune 11556 error message! Just finish uploading my music and can't connect to iTune match!

After purchasing iTune Match & almost finishing uploading 2500 songs, I can't connected to iTune match from either my Macmini or iPad. It gives me the 11556 error message. Anyone encountered the same problem and have any clue how to fix it please.
Many thanx.

I've been experiencing the same problem for the past month. I thought that it might be my older 3rd generation apple TV, so I purchased a new one yesterday. Hooked the new one up this morning and I'm experiencing the same problems. I've rebooted the apple tv a few times which doesnt really seem to help. I'm guessing it has something to do with my home network. I took the Apple TV to the beach with me last week and didn't get any error loading problems. I guess now I just need to figure out what I need to change on my network to hopefully remedy this problem. ugh, it's always something.

I can't connect to iTunes Match for 90 DAYS?!

What the F??
I only have Match on one account... Yesterday I forgot my password, and was reminded that I have an old account from YEARS ago. They both share the same email account and password. The account I use right now's account name is the email address. They even have the same password and contact information... I logged into that account so I could download whatever songs weren't in my iTunes library at the moment, got my 6 (Only 6!!) songs, and then logged back into current my account. I authorized my account to play the old account's songs, and tried to get them to go through iTunes Match, but the option to "Send to iTunes Match" was gone... so I turned it on, and now I get this error:
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
What the F?? The only computer that has iTunes Match IS this computer! This is even the EXACT SAME computer I used with my old account! How does this make any sense?! If I didn't have an essay due today I would call them right now. This just makes zero sense at all. How can I be locked out of iTunes Match through the computer/account that PURCHASED it?!

So... I'm trying to install OSX Lion and see if that will count as a "new computer". [I have Snow Leopard right now] If I have to I guess I'll try a clean install after that too... Or, does anybody know if I should go straight for a clean install first, and then transfer my files afterwards?
I think the worst part of all this is that the other iTunes account tells me to "Purchase iTunes match" if I switch to it. I was hoping I could at least use that account for 90 days and then switch back, but it won't even let the computer/account that I supposedly "switched" to use iTunes Match without buying it again... That also makes no sense to me. If the account I switched to hasn't even purchased iTunes Match, then how could I have switched to using that library? o.O
All of my music is on an external. There's really no difference between me borrowing a friend's laptop, changing the settings, connecting to the external, and then turning on iTunes Match when I need to (plus, my friend would get a ton of free music in the process if they want to keep them). How exactly does this help Apple? O.o
I'll update if installing OSX Lion helps at all...

Can't connect to iTunes Match (Again)

In an inauspicious start to 2013, I can no longer connect to the iTunes Match service.
It gives me the error -"We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later"
I've been trying for 2 days so far with the same result.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I found a solution ...
Turn off iTunes Match, then turn it on again.
This forces it to re-scan the library and then it works again.

I am not able to connect with Itunes Match. I constantly receive the message error 4010

I am not able to connect with Itunes Match. I constantly receive the error 4010.

I can run the general "Update iTunes Match" from the menu but cannot add individual tracks by right-clicking (control-clicking) on them the way I usually do. Then I get the 4010 error message.
Based on other posts here, I can assume the problem is not just me.

HT1430 How do I fix my locked IPad that can not connect to ITunes

My IPad is disabled with a passcode on it and I can not connect to ITunes like it is telling me in order to reset it. How do I get back into the IPad to fix this problem? Also, I don't remember the passcode. It is from my IPad 1 and I am trying to fix it for games for my 5 year old son.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Issue connecting with iTunes Match

Hi, i've got an issue connecting with iTunes Match. Most of the time iTunes doesn't connect to iTunes Match when launching the app. I just see the cloud symbol that indicates it tries to connect. And it just keeps on going. I then have to quit iTunes and relaunch it. Type in my Apple ID password. And still nothing. But around a third or fourth time I usually get a connecting going and then listen to music
And I'm not impatient. I give it some minutes everytime while opening and browsing the iTunes Store.
And the same thing happens after Sleep Mode. It is kind of annoying. Having open and close iTunes all the time.
Is there anything I can do? Am I perhaps doing something wrong? Is anyone experiencing the same problem or issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, your music remains on you computer.

Why I couldn't buy items in games, even thought I filled all of information in Payment. When I bought "gems" in Clash of Clan, it said that " can not connect with itunes store". Someone help me, please!

Whenever I buy something in game, it says that " can not connect to itunes store". Why???? I fill all my payment information in app Store, bt I couldnt buy any thing. Why???

Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/ When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin. Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here. In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

Select the items you don't want in iTunes and delete, when prompted check the box to have them deleted from iTunes Match.

My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

I am also having the same issue. Please help!

I have an iPhone 4S I can not connect to iTunes to update apps?

I have this issue, too. It seems that nobody has come up with a solution. My wife's ipad2 works fine. I have an iPad 1

I can not connect to iTunes on my pad or phone. No error message just says I can't connect. Can anyone help. I have tried turning it off and both are fully up to date

I Got an iPad air 2 yesterday and had no problems downloading apps. The pad has been synced to my phone. Today I am unable to download apps on either devise Tried logging out of iTunes on both but now can not connect to iTunes and do not receive an error code.

Thank goodness it's not just me. I also have tried everything from previous forums and nothing works. I logged out and cannot log back in. Even changed password to no avail. How can we find out if this is an Apple problem.

How many devices can I use my iTunes Match subscription on

Since the upgrade I have not been able to connect to iTunes Match on my iPad and support doesn't seem to know how to fix it either. My desk top , laptop, and iPhone seems to be working fine though.

It is easy to set things straight here - using iTunes on the computer, sign-in to iTunes Store, select your account and look at 'manage devices' under iTunes in the Cloud - either:
a. The device in question is listed as managed by your account, or
b. The device is not listed.
If (b) ask the owner of the alternate Apple Id to check in their account.
Do be very careful since Apple only allow a device to be re-assigned to an alternate Apple Id after 90 days!
Hope these steps clear up the mystery ...

You can use any computer but your data will be lost if you have no backup.
