Download music after discontinuing iTunes match

Just wondering what happens if you stop using iTunes Match, but have songs in the library that aren't currently downloaded to any device. Do you still get access to them? Is there a deadline or download limit for retrieving the song at that point?

think i found answer - looks like deadline would be end of your paid subscription's year, (I'm assuming even if you turn off auto-renew well in advance), and then beyond that anniversary date you'd not have any access.

  • HT4914 Why has iTunes lost a lot of my music after cancelling iTunes Match?

    Hi
    After cancelling my iTunes Match subscription I find a whole lot of my music has disapearred!
    The songs have gone from the iTunes music folder and also from my original music folder where I had ripped all my music.
    Why is this and is there any way to get my songs back?
    Or do I have to rip all my CDs again?
    Thanks

  • HT204074 I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone.  Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone?  Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

    I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone.

    Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

  • I recently downloaded music from the iTunes store but it doesn't play on my iPod

    I recently downloaded music through the iTunes store and synched it manually to my iPod nano (5th generation) and while it shows up on my iPod when I scroll through my list of artists/songs/albums it will not play any sound if selected and will not play through at all. At the very best all it will do is skip ahead 1 to 2 songs. What do I need to do?
    I think it's also worth noting that the songs work on my other devices (laptop and iPad mini) absolutely fine with zero issues.

    I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

  • Can you download all of your iTunes match account onto your computer?  I screwed up my iPod that had the entire library on it and the computer that had the hard copies of the files on it blew a hard drive.  I need to get the files back from iTunes Match.

    Can you recover/download all of your iTunes Match account onto your computer?  I synced the iPod that I had the entire library on to a new computer and lost almost all of my music.  The old computer that had the library on it blew a hard drive and I can't sync the iPod back to the old computer.  Everything is in iTunes Match, but can I load it onto my computer, so I can get it back on my classic iPod?

    If you had iTunes Match before all this happened, yes. Just log in, activate iTM and download the music. If you did not have iTunes Match prior to these incidents, no, it can not help you.
    You should also be doing regular backups of your personal data to an extnal HDD. If you had a backup hue could simply restore it.

  • After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".

    After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".
    I have deleted these songs and downloaded them from iTunes Match (they were "matched" and not "uploaded" files).  However, it still does not work.

    I have the same issue with 8 songs in my library. All are "Matched" and I've tried deleting them and redownloading them from iTunes Match, but they won't play in iTunes or transfer to any of my iDevices.

  • HT204406 Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6?

    Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6? Sorry about copying twice, new to this.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • HT1296 My ipod was a gift and had music downloaded.  How do I download music from the Itunes installed on my pc?

    My ipod is sync'd to my son's pc, which he no longer has.  How do I now sync my ipod to my pc so I can download music from my itunes?

    Follow these instructions:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    To sync:
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.

    Otherwise, just sync your music.

  • HT4913 When I go to Settings- Music and slide ITunes Match to Off, it still appears as On under ITunes and App Stores in the Settings menu. Once I turn this off, on returning to the Music menu under Settings, ITunes Match still shows as on. What to do?

    When I go to Settings->Music and slide ITunes Match to Off, it still appears as On under ITunes and App Stores in the Settings menu. Once I turn this off, on returning to the Music menu under Settings, ITunes Match still shows as on. What to do?

    I (though am not sure what happened) solved the problem. Under show all I had both videos and music selected as on. I turned off videos and ..hey presto..the slider reappeared.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 keeps crashing after starting itunes match

    After starting iTunes match on my macbook pro it starts, looks through all the files, then states it is uploading the informatio to apple. At which point it then freezes with the spinning wheel of color. I have no idea why it won't sync to my itunes match, my PC library is syncing just fine. I have tried reinstalling it to no avail. Any thoughts?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
    DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • HT204406 How do you download the tunes in iTunes Match to an iPod?

    How do you download the tunes in iTunes Match in iCloud to an iPod?

    I did see this yes, I also spent about 20 minutes on the phone finally with a technical support person at Apple who told me to restart and reset my phone which got rid of the few playlists I'd somehow managed to keep on my phone, and also got me off his back because I had to hang up with him to do so....useless.
