Failure 4001 iTunes Match - help?

Bought iTunes Match. When receiving Information from Apple AT the end of the First Sync-step i always get the 4001 failure.
No help found on the Internet for my Problem. Already tried to disable Match with Hold alt/Option Button, but didn't work as well.
Anyone got an idea for solving my Troubles?

Covering your questions:
1. iTunes Match will not replace Artwork;
2. Songs that it has decided to upload, even though the preferred version is in the iTunes Store is sadly a reflection of the current capability of the matching service - there is no way 'currently' of forcing a match, or indeed forcing an upload.
Artwork though is straightforward to update in iTunes and iTunes Match does replicate the revised Artwork to all libraries and devices once complete.
Song matching is generally more challenging - if you ensure that the source version is a good quality AAC by using conversion to 256 kbit AAC from current form or re-ripping a CD; post back-up, remove original from library and icloud; import new file/folder to library and update iMatch you may well generate a match. Older Songs and Songs with many re-issue / re-masters are often those that cause the stubborn 'upload' rather than 'match' result - currently no user way to resolve.

HT4914 I have made a mess of my music library in ITunes, will ITunes Match help?

I have many songs not labelled correctly or recorded using less than great quality in my Itunes library. I'm wanting to know if I sign up for ITunes Match, how do I get the enhanced, properly labeled library loaded back into my Itunes once it has been in the cloud and presumably been replaced by the high quality of the Apple library versions with all the proper labelling? In other words, the versions in my ITunes are substandard, if I get ITunes Match will the versions in my computer's Itunes be converted to the better version and if not how can I accomplish that? Or does the better version only work when streaming from the cloud?
I went into an Apple store and no one there could figure out the answer to this. They thought I might have to delete my entire library from my computer then restore from the cloud but no one was sure. Is there a conclusive answer on the way to do this? If it will work, it would be worth it to me to get the ITunes Match just to clean up my library.

Michael,
If the CDs were ripped a few years ago using a space-economical setting, then chances are that 256 will indeed be an upgrade.
After you upgrade a few songs as onesie-twosies, and have verified that you are comfortable with the results, you can start doing larger batches. But I certainly do not endorse any advice that begins like "Step 1: delete your entire library"!
Also, make sure to make a backup before you begin, so if anything goes amiss, you can retrieve your current copy. Here is the official guidance from Apple Legal:
"iTunes Match is provided on an “AS IS” basis and may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption or loss of data and/or information, including music, playlist, and play history, from your computer or device and from peripherals (including, without limitation, servers and other computers) connected thereto. You should back up all data and information on your computer or device and any peripherals prior to using iTunes Match. You expressly acknowledge and agree that all use of iTunes Match is at your sole risk."

ITunes Match Help Needed

I recently bought a new Macbook pro and i have a windows computer that had itunes match on it, i connected my ipad and synced it to my macbook but now i cant get itunes match is there a way i can change my itunes match from my other itunes onto this one? Not just adding it as one of my 10 devices.

Try turning itunes match off or stopping it.
Update genius and then restart itunes match.
that normally helps with the step one freezing process.
store>turn itunes match off
store>update genuis(please allow genius to completely finish and you have to click the done button before moving on.)
store>turn itunes match on
Yes, you want to add the device.
Step one should proceed.

How could iTunes Match help me?

I'm thinking about getting iTunes Match, but i'm not really sure how it would help me? I have thousands of downloaded songs without their complete information and I think this is the most importante thing for me rigth now. Can anybody help me deciding wha to do?

The iTunes Match service is really very good with an ability to match a significant proportion of tracks provided that they are currently listed in the iTunes Store. If many of your tracks are previous store purchases or CD rips from good quality sources it is worth serious consideration.
If many of your tracks are much older (several decades) and sourced from a range of media including analogue (records / tapes) it is likely that the match rates will be very low.
The decision on value to you must be yours alone, for me c82% of my library has successful matched and is now maintained consistently across several computers and IOS devices - fantastic!

I have my iCloud set up with the iTunes Match but everytime I try to download any of the music to my phone it says that there isn't enough storage. My storage says that I have 11.1gb, out of the 15gb I have, are available. I've tried to back up my phone but nothing is working. Please help with this if you can!

How much free space do you have on your actual phone (Settings > General > About > Available) ? The cloud storage is for backups, to be able to download content onto your phone you need free space on the phone

Error 4001 iTunes match

How can I fix it?
Itunes Match doesnt work.
Error 4001

Hello I know how to fix this error. I had this same problem and I researched it extensively. I found the solution. Follow the directions on this link exactly. It will work. It is happening because your itunes is storing the cache from the previous session *which didnt work and so now it is just giving you the same message over and over again. SO that is why you need to hit shift on a PC options on a mac while turning off itunes match. this will cause the cache to reset and it will restart the process and it will match your songs. I hope it works. Let me know what happens please.

ITunes Match Help!

Earlier, I had started the iTunes Match process but was only able to get through step 1 before receiving an error message (on my pc that holds part of my music library). Now, all of the music is gone from my iPhone and iPad except for the iTunes purchased items which are now showing in the Cloud. How do I get my previously downloaded music from my CD's (that are in my iTunes on my 2 pc's) up into the Cloud, too? If this is impossible, which is what I THOUGHT Match was for, then I would like to figure out how to get a refund. Thank you!

Hi there did you get an answer to your question or a refund?

Hi! i have iTunes match. help?

i have iTunes match. but 11GB of music is on my phone. how do i delete this without deleting the link to it?

Hello YogaJedi,
It sounds like you have iTunes Match enabled and want to delete all the music on the phone without turning off iTunes Match. You can delete all the music from the phone in the Usage section of your Settings:
Tap Settings > General > Usage to view the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
Tap Music, and swipe All Music to the left to see the delete button. This will delete all the music being stored on the phone right now and leave the iTunes Match library available for streaming.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT4914 iTunes Match help

I have iTunes installed on both my home and work computer. Will iTunes Match store music from both of these? I have different CD's uploaded on them both.

Yes, iTunes will scan the libraries on both computers. Tracks matched or uploaded on one machine will be available to download or stream on the other an vice versa.
It is a way to consolidate all your music on your computer at home by downloading the other tracks which are on your works computer. You need to check for duplicates.

HT4914 iTunes Match, find lost songs

I've lost my songs that I bought in iTunes on my iPhone, will iTunes Match help me get them back?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;

I have already tried holding down option key and going to store and turning off itunes match and then turning it on again---doesn't work
Do i have to reboot my mac?
close itunes and open it up again?
your help will be much appreciated!

If you mean you want to sync your music from your computer to your iPhone you need to disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Go to Settings > Music and set to iTunes Match to OFF (not green). You may need to wait a few minutes for the change to register with iTunes. Connect the iPhone via USB/Thunderbolt and sync the music.
