Can't switch iTunes match off on my macbook pro

I have a 256gb macbook pro retina display 13'
I am trying to sync it with my 64gb iPhone 6 on latest iOS.
I have turned off auto renew on iTunes match
However I can't turn off iTunes match on iTunes.
Any ideas welcome.

Hi,
Go to menu > store and select turn off match
Also signing out of iTunes store will have same effect.

How can I turn iTunes Match off without an internet connection?

Hi all. I find myself up s**t creek without a paddle. I have subscribed to iTunes Match, which I find to be an excellent service. However, I'm travelling (by ship) and don't have an internet connection for the forseeable future. I recently, prior to departing on my voyage, scrubbed my phone and ipad for extra space, so I deleted all of my music content, knowing my music would be with me on my laptop. However, now I want to walk around the ship and listen to my music, which I assumed I would be able to sync with my laptop. Unfortunately, I can't find any iTunes or iPhone options to sync any music because it says iTunes Match is enabled. There are no options to disable iTunes Match either. I'm using the latest version of iOS (5.1) on an iPhone 4S purchased in Japan, as well as the most recent (as of 4/1/2012) version of iTunes on my Macbook Pro running OS X Lion.
Thanks for any help someone might offer.

I was recently able to connect my iPhone to a Wi-Fi network connected to the internet. Only then did the option show up in the Settings app. I'm not sure if that's by design or if it's a bug, but it's terribly inconvenient just at the moment I need to access the feature. If it's by design, it's a poor design compared to most other aspects of iOS.

How can I access my iCloud/iTunes Match music from my Macbook Pro?

I have iTunes match up and running and syncing to my home computer. It works perfectly with my iOS devices. I would also like to access my music from my portable laptop. How can I do this? There does not seem to be any obvious way to get to my music in the cloud from my laptop iTunes.

I don't know how you managed to get Match working on your iOS devices without first enabling it on your computer, but that aside . . .
Go to the "store" menu and select "enable iTunes Match" from there you'll need to enter the same Apple ID You used to get it running. Itunes Match will then scan the library and do its thing. Generally you should leave it alone and not enable it on your iOS devices until it's all done uploading whatever songs it doesn't match.

Can't install itunes, osx 10.5.8 macbook pro

I have old MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.8.
Today I went to update my iphone with itunes but said I required a upgrade to OSX 10.6.
Do I have to purchase some new software? Will this then allow me to load itunes up?
And is the software I need 10.6.8 snow leopard??

Hi,
You need Snow Leopard. If your MacBook can be update - http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.

I can't switch in Shuffle Off mode iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

I can't switch in Shuffle Off mode iTunes 11.1.3 (8) - its not work now

Same issue. Shuffle does not turn off either from the button or from Controls > Shuffle > Turn off Shuffle.
To be more specific, iTunes shuffles no matter what, even when the button is off and when Controls > Shuffle says "Turn on Shuffle" (meaning it's supposed to be off).

How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?

I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?

I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums???

After I download a 256 kbps song using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer at the higher bit rate once I turn ITunes Match off again?

After I download a 256 kbps song from the cloud using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer once I turn ITunes Match off again? I have been using ITunes Match for awhile now to increase the bit rate on songs to 256 kbps. Once I download the songs at the new bit rate, I turn off Match because I want to eliminate duplicates. Usually there is no problem. This time, however, 278 of my songs lost their file association and were unplayable unless I locate the song files within my computer. These are songs purchased from Amazon. In order to play them again in ITunes (Match is now off), I must locate each song file individually (I've tried to do it in bulk but have not succeeded) but now the bit rate has returned to the lower number BEFORE I matched the song. I should have never used Match in the first place. Any ideas, anyone?

I discovered that the NEW 256 bit file does reside on my computer, in the ITunes files (My Music/ITunes/ITunes Media/Music. So I can bring the songs back as 256 kbps, and I have been successful now at locating more than one file at a time, by clicking on the "find other missing files" tab in the popup window. Previously, I'd been going back to my Amazon files, and not only was I unable to bring back a 256 version, but the popup window would not locate similar files. So while I wish ITunes Match would automatically associate the ITunes Match file, at least I can retrive the file association without hours and hours of work.

Can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. iPhone, iPad work fine.

I can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. It gives an error stating that only one Apple ID can be used at a time with iTunes Match and asks me to wait 72 days until I can download any songs!? Tried to turn off iTunes Match in an attempt to reset it. And now I can't turn it back on. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm pretty sure the songs will need to be physically present on the computer you are syncing the Nano with, but I'm not 100% sure.
Edit: I just attempted to sync music that I have stored in the iCloud, but not written on my harddrive to an iPod Classic and it only syncs the music that is present on the computer. I tried to grab a few iCloud file and throw it on the iPod, but I had to download them before it would work.
So, yes. You do have to have the files already downloaded to sync to a non iOS 5 iDevice.

Can not subscribe itunes match

Hello
i can not subscribe itunes match "new subscribtions currently not available" + itunes match is temporalry not accepting nwe subscritbtions"
sorry for my english
many thanks for your help

Unfortunately, you just have to wait until it's open for new subscriptions in your country / region.
When a lot of new users sign-up and do their initial matches it puts a lot of load on whatever server facility is designated to serve you. Over time, that load decreases and also new capacity is added. In the meantime Apple shuts off new subscriptions for a while. It should open up again soon.

You cannot...

Just got an iPhone and can't get iTunes Match to connect. Keep getting a message that I'm not subscribed, but already did on my pc. Any ideas?

You must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase iTunes Match. On the iOS device go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Log out, then log in with the correct ID.

Even turning iTunes Match OFF is a mess

iTunes Match on the desktop = awesome.
On the iPhone = disaster.
Just a warning to everyone else. IM match is terrible on the iPhone. Playlists don't sync right (if at all), music is terribly slow to download, there's no album art or genius playlists, and it crashed my iPhone numerous times.
So I disabled it, restarted my phone, and synced it back with iTunes to return to manual control. After taking several hours to sync 3000+ songs, most songs still had the cloud icon next to them --> even with iTunes Match OFF. Playing one of them would still try to stream it/download it from the cloud. So I did a restore from last backup. After that completed, I reloaded all my songs AGAIN. Went to launch Music.app - and all I got was a blank white screen for about 10 seconds, and then it crashed. Did a hard reset, same issue. I could not play music on my phone.
Scheduled a genius appointment. Waited at the store for 30 minutes (past my appointment). After a quick diagnosis, he said that springboard was corrupt and I'd have to do a complete factory restore. He even advised against restoring from a backup after that -- he wanted me to start over and manually re-do all my settings and app installations (and lose all my data, saved games etc).
I took a gamble and did a restore, but then restored from a backup too. That seemed to work. I reloaded all my songs, iTunes match is off, and there's no iCloud icon next to any of my songs.
Bottom line - think twice before using iTunes Match on your iPhone. There are definite bugs that need to be sorted out. I literally spent most of Saturday syncing and restoring my phone.
Having said that, I greatly enjoy the service on my desktop - it keeps my work and home iTunes library and sync, and I was able to replace tons of old rips with fresh 256 kpbs tracks. But I won't be renewing if Apple doesn't get the mobile experience fixed.

I experienced the same "disfunction" when turning iTunes Match off on my iPhone and iPad - there were still all kinds of stale files and links to the "cloud" still hangning around on my devices. Also, after turning Match off on the device, when I connected the device to iTunes on my mac, looking at the "Music" folder on the iPhone and iPad within iTunes still showed all kinds of "greyed out" files (with song entries often duplicated 2 or 3 times) that could not be deleted - even when "manage music manually" was selected.
I was able to clean things up using the OPs suggestion of turning iTunes Match off on the devices and restoring from back up, so thank you for that.
All in all, I concur with the OP - iTunes match is fantastic between computers, but with iOS devices it is currently not ready for prime time.
