Does "Itunes Match", Match CD's That are ripped but purchased outside the US

Hi there this is my first post as the rest of the mac stuff i managed to figure out with the awesome community
I have a CD that i purchased of a south african Band that i ripped in the Itunes and i know that South Africa doesnt have a music store coz i checked however the Album does exist in the Portugese store...
Will this upgrade my rip or will they still have all the limitations that you can only Match this song with an account that has access to that country as i had to purchase these CD's Physically as i was unable to purchase it in the US on itunes.
i have yet to use match as i find that there would be no point if what i actually want it to match wont match... i have albums that i bought from all over the world but want to be sure that it will match before i subcribe to the service?

The tracks in your iTunes library will be matched against the store in which you have an account. You don't explicitly say which store that is so for the sake of argument let's say it is the U.S. store (since iTunes Match is currently only available in the U.S. anyway).
During the initial scan of your library if the album by the South African band is available in the U.S. store, then it will be matched. If it is not available in the U.S. store then the files will be uploaded. ITunes Match does not scan other countries stores for matches. This will apply to all the music in your iTunes library.

  • ITunes keeps old artist names that are incorrect, even after remaking the database

    I have a huge classical music collection. Using iTunes is a frustrating experience since the tags are quite useless. No one wants to search for
    this conductor with that orchestra
    as the artist. You want the composer!
    And then, in multiwork sets, iTunes tags a CD as
    Beethoven symphonies - Vol. 2
    rather than
    Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 3, 4
    And, for example, I am reripping Dvorak's works. As I type in the Artist (composer), the first choice is
    Dvorak, Anton
    Then it lists the correct
    Dvorak, Antonin
    Where is it getting the incorrect name from?
    I once had Anton by accident, but I retagged all my files to make this correct. Now iTunes does not list Dvorak, Anton as an Artist, but it is still there when I retag.
    I deleted the .xml and .itl files in my music folder, and remade the database from scratch. They are still there.
    How do I fix this?

  • HT1766 If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure.  I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
    Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

  • I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update.

    I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update. I have a Mac Pro G5 OS 10.6.8. The desktop hidden files app doesn't reveal the TV shows.

    found a solution in a different discussion.. thank god.

    but can not be unlocked
    If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T.  It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
    Your post makes very little sense.  Maybe you can get some help with English. 

  • Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?

    Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?

    Yesterday I set up a Canon IP3600 to work on a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11. It is a print-only unit. I got the 10.4 drivers off the Canon website before connecting the printer. Many Brother printers still have support for older Mac OS versions.
    If you need a multi-function device, it is gettng very hard to find any that support PowerPC Macs (pre-2006) of OSX versions older then 10.6 any more.
    As you posted in the PowerPC iMac forum I assume you have one. However, there are some Intel Macs (2006 and newer) still running 10.4. Check "About this Mac" under your Apple menu: if it says you have an Intel processor, you have many more doors open.

  • Adobe story does not export lines of dialogue that are amrked with (CONT'D) into a csv file.

    For some reason Adobe story does not export lines of dialogue that are marked with (CONT’D) into a csv file. The rest of the dialogue exports fine, bit the bits that are marked with (CONT’D) do not show up in the dialogue column !. Can this be changed with some settings or is this a bug? The script was imported from an FDX file. If anyone has a fix for this, please, let me know.
    Thenk you.

    Thanks for reporting this issue.
    This is indeed a bug.
    Just to get correct data in csv, a workaround for this issue could be to replace word 'CONT'D' with a place-holder word, perform an export-to-csv and then change it back.
    1. Press Ctrl+F in script to open Find/Replace
    2. Replace word 'CONT'D' with a placeholder word, say 'TEMPCONTD'
    3. Export the script to csv
    4. Now replace the placeholder word with 'CONT'D'

  • HT2515 Does iChat work with other users that are on other types of smartphones?  or only Mac phones and Mac mail, contacts, etc?

    Does iChat work with other users that are on other types of smartphones?  or only Mac iPhones and iMac Mail, Contacts, etc?

    Hi,
    The Messages Beta will Send iMessage to iPhones (Messages replaces iChat)
    iChat can SMS to phones
    It needs the computer to be listed as if it in the United States and contacting a Phone that is on a Carrier in the United States that is accepting SMS forwarding from AIM
    You list the Buddy as AIM and then +plus their number as in +123456789
    The computer can be made to "think" it is in the United States in System Preferences > International (or Text a Language in Lion) then Formats tab.
    The Phone has to be a US phone with all the trimmings about AIM's SMS forwarding.

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

  • HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

    how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

    Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    The payment methods that are available in your country will show on your account. If debit cards aren't available on that screen then you won't be able to use it as your payment method.

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.
