Hi. Im using iTunes Match, but my iPhone storage is full of music. I haven't downloaded any songs into the device. Please help.

Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.
When streaming music from the cloud the Music app caches a temporary copy for later playback.

I want to use iTunes Match but want to make make sure music will be downloaded from my iPhone (which has all my music) and not just my MacBook to the cloud.

Hi,
All your music need to be in your iTunes library on your computer. You will need to copy your music from your iPhone to your computer.

Did you try turning off iTunes Match (Store>Turn off iTunes Match), then turning it back on?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

Can I use iTunes Match for 2 iPhones with different music, same account?

My wife and I each have an iPhone and share an iTunes account. We share a master music library but each manually manage our music on our iPhones. So she has certain songs on her phone and I have different ones on mine, both coming from the same master library. I'm trying to figure out if I can use iTunes Match in this scenario. I don't want to see her songs on my iPhone. Is there a way to only see music on my iPhone if I use Match or am I stuck seeing my entire library on my iPhone?

I think I'm getting it finally, thanks for the clarification. So at least I know there is a way to not see all music in my library from my iPhone.
So in my case i have about 800 songs on my iPhone out of about 1600 on my iTunes library. If I'm understanding correctly I would have to enable Match on my iPhone, then turn off the "show all music" option. This in turn should leave me with my original 800 songs listed which I woud then have to download from the cloud. Once I have all of my 800 songs back down from the cloud I won't be required to download them again from that phone.
A worse scenario would be that I enable Match, and then have to find my 800 songs out of the total 1600 manually from the list and then download them from the cloud.
Which scenario is correct?

What's the best way to use iTunes match with 4 iPhones and an ipad2

Currently have iPhone 4 (2), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G (used as touch-no sim), and iPad 2. We use one apple id to purchase with. We use a windows 7 pc and iTunes 10.5.....latest ver. My questions are kinda multi faceted, but I'm thinking iTunes match can help. Ok....
Is iTunes match cloud space the same as iCloud space?
I have ~15000 mp3's. I'd like to use iTunes match to "clean up" my library. So, once I get my matched tunes up there will all my devices see that library?
What about playlists? Do they just stay the same and locally reside on iDevices?
I don't have a Mac yet, well I don't have a new one. I currently have a iBook g4 1.0 ghz with 1.25mb ram and osx 10.5 on it. I would like to move all my music to a 1tb nas drive that I have.....iTunes does see it. Then do all my iTuning from that machine for the next couple of months until I save more money and by an iMac.
However, it seems as though this ITunes might be able to this better.......
I'm terribly confused...I have 10+ years in IT, albeit mostly all PC. That being said, I am ready to switch, I just feel like I'm so deep into a mess it seems impossible to do any of this cleanly.
Thank you,

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.

Can u use itunes match to sync iphone with new computer

can you use itunesmatch to sync iphone music and pictures to new computer

You can use iTunes Match to make your iTunes library available on another computer, to either play or download the music to it. But iTunes Match doesn't have anything to do with pictures and other data, and it doesn't sync your iPhone with your computer.
If you are changing computers and have previously syncing your phone with another computer, you should copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527. That will allow you to sync your phone with your new computer just as you did with your old one.

I recently sold my Mac Air to a friend, he wants to use iTunes Match, but it says he can't for another 40 days because it was attached to my account. How can I get that turned off so that he can use his account and turn on iTunes match.

I reecntly spold my mac book air,to a friend, when he tries to use itunes match it says the computer is registersed to another user and cannot be done for another 40+ days. How do i get that to turn off. I have unregistered it under my account.
thanks s

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

Youll get that message when you change the iTunes account you are logged into, you can't keep changing it.

Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
Contact them and find out what their policy is.

I have a monthly subscription for PS and Lightroom.
When I opened Lightroom this morning, it told me an upgrade was available through CC. I probably did something wrong, butI couldn't get it to download.
I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.
My CC icon reveals that my software is up to date but I can't get past this register screen, without selecting BUY or FREE 30 TRIAL .
can anyone help please?

I use iTunes match but want all of my music on my IPhone

I use I Tunes match for my music library on my Mac. However, I want all of the music downloaded to my iPhone 6 so I can play it whenever I want. What is the best/quickest way to accomplish that (after I have dealt with duplicates on my Mac, which are driving me crazy).

I guess my first question is if you don't have enough music to max out your storage on your phone why would you subscribe to match in the first place? The reason I subscribed to match is because I couldn't get everything on my phone and I wanted the ability to be able to manage what was on my phone from my phone. None the less that is not your question.
You simply have to press the cloud at the top of every artist and let it download. If you have a lot of music then it will take a long time. If you don't have a lot of music it should go pretty quick. Just press the cloud at the top of every artist/album you want and the songs in that section will download.

Is there any way to use Itunes match on my Iphone without downloading music?

I recently just purchashed Itunes match because I thought it would be a great thing to use on my Iphone considering I have a 16G Iphone 5s and around 47G of music.
All was fine until my phone notified me that I was low on memory. I didn't realise that everytime you played a song through Itunes match, it would automatically download it onto your device (even if you were skipping the song on shuffle).
I was just wondering if there was any way that could be turned off so that there would be no music downloaded on my phone. I thought the main reason for Itunes match was so your music wasn't taking up space on your devices. If this is the case, the fact that a song is downloaded automatically every time you listen to it makes no sense at all.
If there is no way to fix this, there should be. This is ridiculous Apple, and I wouldn't have subscribed to the service if I knew I would have to download every song anyway. (Especially because it's a huge pain to go through and delete the songs off your phone)
