Got iTunes match, synced up music from laptop to phone, headed out listening to playlist, all of a sudden, mid-song, music stopped and all music was gone and needed to be re-downloaded
Ok, so I initially bought the cloud mainly in the hopes that I could store all of my music on it and have access to it on my phone, which ended up not being the case. Fine. So I man up and get iTunes match, sync everything up between my laptop and my phone, make a playlist and head out listening to it. All of a sudden while I'm out, mid-song, the music stops. I go to see what's going on and everything is gone and has the icon to download next to it, and now I'm away from my wifi to boot, so charges apply. I don't understand. Now I have iCloud on my phone with 25 GB Total Storage and 25 GB Available because I don't understand what I should be using it for and iTunes match which, what, only works when I'm within spitting distance of my laptop? I've tried to get everything sorted out, paying a fee each time, and hitting roadblocks every step of the way; and on top of it, my phone is constantly telling me it can't do this or that because I don't have enough storage?? I realize I'm a bit of a noob, but c'mon, it shouldn't be this complicated or difficult, should it?
If you have no network access (3G, Wi Fi) you cannot stream music from the cloud. Period.The way you stop the behavior is to enable 3G, or pre-download the tracks you think you will want to listen to.

HT4914 Will iTunes Match sync my ringtones from my iPhone to my iPad Mini?
I just got an iPad Mini. How do I transfer the apps and ringtones from my iPhone?
iTunes Match is currently for music only. You should be able to re-download apps on your Mini via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it.
Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you will need to copy them from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (they will copy over to the Tones section of your library, and your apps other purchases will also be copied from the phone) - you can then sync them to your iPad. -
Can't sync email account from laptop to iphone - greyed out in itunes info
Hi there ...
Everythings working fine on my iphone except I haven't been able to sync my email account.
When I go hook up the phone ... and go to info ... the sync mail account is greyed out and I can't check it.
When I enter the email account on the iphone manually .... it won't connect to the outgoing server. I know all the info entered is correct as I double check it on my laptop. So I delete the account and try to sync ... and itunes is greyed out ...
Am I doing something wrong ... do you have to have all the info entered on the iphone first? or should it create it automatically. I guess I made the mistake of not syncing mail when plugged in my phone the very first time ... I thought it would be no problem later ... but that is not the case ...
Any help ...?Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.

I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?
Hi,
Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

I have just got iTunes match. It appears that since joining and starting it some tunes have been deleted from my library. They are shown in the listing but iTunes can no longer locate the files. Any suggestions?
If they are showing in the Videos app with a cloud then go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and set Videos (under the 'Show All') heading 'off' - you might (depending upon which country that you arein) have a similar button for music and the Music app.

I just purchased itunes match and when I try to add my main computers music library I see "iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the Store menu and try again." but signing back in always results in the same error message. Somebody has to have an answer to this.
Did you try setting itunes to run with administrator privileges?
Since I changed that I no longer have this issue -
ITunes Match Sync Erases ID3 Tags
I have had no problems with the iTunes Match syncing between the iTunes that was on my PC (version, I don't know, but it was older than 11.4) and my iPhone and iPad.
But today I upgraded iTunes to the latest and greatest version (11.4), and now everything is MESSED UP. When I connect this new iTunes to my iTunes Match account, now all of a sudden all of the playlists on both my iPhone and iPad got messed up and came out of the Playlist Folders they were in and are now top-tier playlists. When I try to move them back into their appropriate folders in iTunes and re-sync, the re-sync effectively erases from iTunes the changes I just made. For example, it puts the playlist right back to where I moved it FROM. If I try to create new playlists, the sync erases them from iTunes. Even if I try to update an individual song's ID3 tag (like, for example, if I add some text to the "Grouping" field of a single song) and re-sync, the updated text disappears and reverts back to what it was before I synced. I don't even have my iPhone or iPad connected by cable to the computer, so it's not like iTunes is getting confused between whether to sync via cord or via iTunes Match.
I don't know what to do. Is my iTunes update corrupted? It seems to be functioning fine otherwise. No alerts. No bad DLLs. Nothing weird other than the iTunes Match syncing problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
SeanYou should check with the head unit manufacturer; they can most likely answer your question.

Moving music from my i phone to my laptop?
I am trying to move music from my i phone to i tunes on my laptop but I used to have my phone synced with my old laptop and it's saying that i will have to erase my i phone music. Is tere another way to move or sync all the music to my laptop? Thanks
Requires third-party software, like this, to extract the music from your phone:

iTunes purchased music you can simply re-download. Anything else will have to be extracted. -

I have just subscribed to iTunes Match, and get the above error message. I have signed out and signed in several times, and still get the same message. Can anyone help with a solution?
I have Just upgraded my mac from Itunes 11.0 to itunes 11.02, this issue occured within hours of the updated.
It seems to occur about every couple of hours for me, I can still access the apple store, but music match just dies with the message: "iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the Store menu and try again."
As it takes a good ten minuites for itunes
If this is also occuring in Itunes 11, the previous Discussions are probably not relevant.
Itunes 11 has had significant changes applied, so it would be reasoble to assume this is not the same fault and Apple have some how broken Itunes again.
I might try to downgrade to itunes 11.0, as it looks like music match faults are not high on apples priorities, it looks like took them almost a year to fix this fault last time it occured. -
Every few hours I receive this error message:
"iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the Store menu and try again."
Is there someone who knows how this could be solved?

I see that there is already a discussion on this issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3502994?start=0&tstart=0
