no warning nothing at that screen
again i could only buy music and apps, im ****** that was misleading
plz Apple stop picking our pocket !!
and change it it so easy to do

Calm down.
Was all this music on your iPhone backed up to your iTunes library? If so, once the initial scan, match and upload process is finished in iTunes all the music will be available on your iPhone again. Just disable the service on the iPhone until the intial process is done in iTunes.
Also, as long as you are in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available you can re-download most past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I still cannot see all the music; some I downloaded and some I purchased. For example, I downloaded two CDs by The Band Perry; one is on iTunes and one isn't. I purchased iTunes Match before I changed computers so I could transfer it all to my new machine without have to load CDs again. I also purchased some songs that are no longer there.
I looked at the article you referenced and have completed all the recommended steps. I have authorized this computer and updated iTunes match. Is there any way to recover the music I downloaded, as well as purchases I made? (I purchased Viva la Vida by Coldplay and it's not on my iTunes. There may be others, but I haven't noticed any others specifically.)
Very frustrated....any help is appreciated

ITunes match not updating on devices

Help. Please.
itunes match not updating. iTunes on computer has appropriate songs/ albums. But on iPhone and ipad changes do not appear. I have tried holding down shift key when turning off iTunes Match, signing out of iTunes Store, then quitting itunes. I then start itunes, sign into store, then turn on iTunes match and it goes through lengthy scanning, hours, and I am left with the matching page showing the three stages of iTunes Match greyed out, with a button offering me to start it again. Re
i have repeated this process several times, switching off iTunes Match on devices before starting iTunes Match on compute - same problem. I have changed albums while iTunes Match is on, as recommended by apple's webpage.
please advise on how to update iTunes match so this change on computer also happens on devices. Thank you in advance

Dear Jim
thank you so much. Thank you for your quick reply, sorry I did not respond sooner, but I wanted to make sure it worked before replying, hence I had to wait for iTunes Match to do its thing.
You are are a genius Jim, so a big thank you.
So in a nutshell for all, Jim's solution works for those who have gone over their 25,000 limit by mistake, and are unable to update match, you can with Jim's solution, delete stuff in the iTunes Match cloud and in effect have your original iTunes Match library as you want it.
Thank you Jim

HT204406 iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4

i am having a problem with the iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4, once in iTunes it just shows the iCloud logo, and does not load all my albums/song etc.

I'm guessing you mean the iTunes store.
What specificaly happens when you try to access the store? Any errors?
What do you mean by full factory reset? Does that mean a restore as new?
Are you able to access the store via Wi-Fi?

How to make iTunes Match not convert my files ALACs in 256 kbps (VBR)? How to get iTunes to convert CDs to Apple loselss?

How to make iTunes Match not convert my files ALACs in 256 kbps (VBR)? How to get iTunes convert CDs in Apple loselss? The difference between 256 (VBR) and Apple Losless is very clear...

Dear Michael, good day!
1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
-Settings > iTunes & App Store.
-Settings > Music
I switched OFF in both.
NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
{All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete.
3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
4. Switched back On iTM
5. Taped Music app on Home screen
iTM has started – (it took 18 minutes to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
Regret to inform… All the same:
Erase and reset to factory default? Or I did smf wrong?

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Itunes match not loading in ios7

Itunes match not working since the ios 7 update? It worked great before that...I've tried restaring the phone a few times and closing out the app. Tried turning on and off itunes match on both the phone and through itunes on the computer, tried restaring the computer. i've tried it on wifi and on cellular, both connect to other things but itunes match won't load?

I was stuck in "Loading iTunes Match" for an hour. Here's what I did:
In Settings -> Music, turned off Music Match
On the computer, started iTunes, plugged in the iPhone, let it sync. It copied some songs to the phone.
In Settings -> Music, turned on Music Match
Synced the phone again by clicking 'Sync' in iTunes
On the phone, went to the Music app. My library loaded in a couple of seconds.
I imagine all these steps aren't required. It may be enough to cycle Music Match off and on. Extra points to the user who can do it in less steps.

Itunes match not working on IPhone

Hi all,
Really hope someone can help.
Itunes match working fine on Ipad and Apple TV but when switching on the Iphone 4S I get message saying not subscribed. I use the same Apple ID for everything. Cant understand why it works on the others but not the Iphone which is the one I want it to work on.
When I look in Itunes, I can see my Iphone as a Device on the left hand side, but when I go into the Store and check Itunes in the cloud and manage devices its only my Ipad that is there. Suspect this might be the issue but dont know how to add it? As I said its the same Apple ID?
D

Hi Michael,
Thanks for coming back to me. I only subscribed to match a few days ago so definately using the same apple ID. Really frustrating.
When I sign back into the store on my iphone and go to turn on itunes match is gives me the subscribe message and when i go to enable automatic downloads it asks for the password, which I put in, and then it just keeps popping up again asking for the password, even although its the correct one going in.
As I said, my iphone is a device on the left hand side, but when I go to itunes in the cloud on my account its only my Ipad that is showing up.
New problem- since I switched itunes match off and back on again, I can enable the itunes match button on my Ipad but none of the music is showing- so neither device is working now. Really annoyed.

How do I tell iTunes Match NOT to upload a song / audio file?

I produce music in Logic Pro and later play in iTunes for additional listening and testing. How do I tell iTunes Match NOT TO UPLOAD certain songs or audio files? I have to continously delete files from the cloud.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
It's all or nothing with iTunes Match. If the track is a valid format it either matches or uploads.
Do you want to keep the tracks in itunes? If so, I suggest that you create a second blank library then turn on match. This will show all your tracks in the cloud. If a track uploads, you can delete it from the cloud using this new library. When you revert to your original library, the track will still be present but the iCloud status will now be "removed" instead of "uploaded". You can see iCloud status in song view by going to menu > view > view options and tick box. Match will now ignore this track when scanning your library.

ITunes Match not all it's cracked up to be.......

I have approx 4210 songs in my iTunes library and having recently purchased an iPad decided to subscribe to iTunes Match. When I tried to run the programme it initially found 3155 songs then froze completely. I left it running over night and there was no change. I logged out of my pc and attempted it for the second time and it matched 2944 songs before freezing again. The third time I attempted it, 3245 songs were matched and it didn't get any further overnight.
I spoke to the support team who couldn't fathom what was going on, apart from there maybe being a problem with some of the song formats. I doubted this was the issue. Then I remembered our iTunes account was under my partners id and because our iPad was under a different id I wondered whether that may be causing a problem. Therefore I set up an iTunes account to match the iPad and ran the programme again. This seemed to resolve the issue and iTunes Match ran successfully, even thought it took 3 days in all.
The problem I have now though is that any songs that could not be matched still show in my iTunes library but have now disappeared from my iPad. I was told by Apple that any songs that couldn't be matched would remain in tact but in the original format/quality. Disappointing that this isn't the case. How can I get these songs to show on my iPad along with the matched songs? I guess switching off iTunes Match may make this happen but if not how can I resolve this?
Also, £21.99 for 12 months subscription doesn't seem to excessive if things are up to scratch. However, on listening to the matched songs I haven't really noticed any improvement in sound quality and still find some songs play at different volumes than others. I would've thought they would all stream at the same level/quality!!!!
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the iCloud status for the songs not appearing on your ipad?

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

I am wanting to activate iTunes Match on my iPad. But I get a message saying I have to wait 90 days

I am wanting to activate iTunes Match on my iPad. But I get a message saying I have to wait 90 days. Side note: I'm doing this for my mom and not knowing, she created a second Apple ID a while ago. I'm trying to get her ID's sorted out. Anyway, I am wanted to know if there's a work around for this. I know it's a safeguard created so people cannot endlessly log in and out of others accounts and share there music and stuff. So, any help?

There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.
