Hi, my question is about iTunes Match.

Hi all.
I'm new here.
I have just bought iTunes match and think it's  great.
However!!!
I've just returnrd from the Apple store and they can't answer my question and think there is a problem with the Apple software. Anyone else experienced the following:-
When in Airplane mode my tunes is empty.
I go online on either my iPhone or iPad and LISTEN to a song. I do not click on the right side to load it.
Then, when I go into Airplane mode, the song and sometimes even a song adacent to it appears and it is not possible to side swipe it and delete it.
The only way to delete it from the memory on the device is to go back online, and go to the song and press on the right hand side and load it.
Then to go again to airplane mode and side swipe and delete the song.
It is amazing that this happens, not only to a song I just listen to, but often also to an adjacent song in the play list.
has anyone else come accros this and has anyone a solution?
Thanks.

sorry, here is another pic, closer... the spots are really small, but for a new expensive phone i think is unadmisible..

  • General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

    Hello to everyone,
    I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
    Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
    Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
    At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
    Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
    Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
    Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
    If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

  • Questions about iTunes Match before subscribing

    I'm thinking about signing up for iTunes Match so that I can access my music on my Apple TV without my MacBook Pro being on. I have 1,575 songs in my library and 1,275 of the are purchased from the iTunes store. Will iTunes, match all the songs inlcuding the ones I purchased or the 300 that I ripped off a CD? Also since the songs will be matched that means I can download them from any device right? Will I also be able to delete the orginial files off my computer and then download the ones that were matched? My last question is after one year and I don't re-subscribe will I still be able to keep the matched songs? Someone please help me with these questions so that I can subrscribe as soon as possible. Thank you

    A search of the forum would have turned up these answers for you.
    Most songs that you have purchased from the iTunes store will be identified as "purchased." Only songs that are imported into iTunes from other sources such as CD or Amazon's service are eligible to be "matched" or "uploaded." Any imported songs that are not "matched" will be "uploaded." But do not expect 100% accuracy at any rate. When you download "purchased" songs to your library, or another computer, or an iDevice you are getting the same song you already have. When you download "matched" songs you are getting the version from the iTunes store, and "uploaded" songs are obviously the same songs that are already in your iTunes library.
    For imported songs that are "matched" that you might download they are yours to keep. If you choose not to renew your iTunes Match subscription nothing at all will happen to the songs that you downloaded from the store.
    However, if your primary purpose is to upgraded existing music you might be disappointed in the results.

  • Just a question about iTunes Match....

    Is anybody else have a problem with itunes Match....cause i am...i drag a song list into itunes...imatch starts to scan then it stops and give me a itunes store error...i log out of itunes a few times...then bag in and it works sometimes...now today it is not working!!

    In iOS 5 all music is downloaded to permanent storage when you listen to it. It is similar in iOS 6 except the "streamed" songs are not store in permanent memory on the iOS device.

  • Question on iCloud, iTunes Match, etc. on MacBook Pro Core Duo 1,1

    What won't Snow Leopard be able to run from the recently announced iCloud/iTunes Match suite of features?
    I'm assuming I can still get all the benefits of those new programs on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with iOS5, but some features may not be available on my MacBook Pro 1,1 Core Duo. I just don't quite understand what I won't be able to do on the MacBook Pro.
    Can anyone summarize?
    Thanks!

    Nobody knows that. At least nobody that could talk about it.
    The iCloud site has all the public information that anyone can possibly know at this point.

  • ICloud and Apple ID are different, what about Itunes Match??

    My apple ID, what I use to purchase apps and songs with, is different than my iCloud ID which I use to synch mail, contacts, etc with.
    Now that iTunes Match is live, and I am using it, what is going to happen when I do a synch? Has anyone in my situation tried yet?
    Im wondering if, when my phone goes to the cloud to synch, it wont see any music under my iCloud ID and just not synch that, or will it be ok this way? It has worked great up to now, but am worried.
    If you are wondering why I dont just try it, well it seems the servers at Apple are once again overloaded and I cant do anything more with iTunes match then what initially synchronized. I get a time out error now. So I thought I would ask the question and try to resolve any potential problems before they happen!

    I was in the exact same situation as you. I had an Apple ID I purchased all my songs/movies/shows/apps with, and a completely different one that I used for iCloud. I decided that for iTunes Match, I'd just use my iCloud ID, and it's been great. I never have to use my old account. Whenever my old apps have updates, my iPhone just asks me for my password (it remembers my old email), and the updates download. It's easy and great - you'll be fine. Enjoy iTunes Match!

    After the first install of iOS8 my iPhone5 locked up with a picture of a cord connected to a device linking to iTunes.  After taking my iPhone5 to the Apple Store, an Expert was able to get my phone operational again.  However, when I returned home I found I no longer had options in iTunes to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5.  I suspect that ITunes does not recognize my IPhone any longer.  For the past 1.5 years I have no problems updating or syncing my iPhone…it was only after I upgraded to iOS8 last week.

  • How come itunes match takes up so much space on an iphone even before you download any songs? I noticed my storage space went down about 1gb after enabling itunes match before I downloaded anything.

    A couple things about itunes match. First, why does it take up so much space before you download any songs when you enable it on an iphone? Also, why does it not give back that space when you disable itunes match? It would also be very appreciated if Apple would add a confirmation check to itunes match in settings when you disable it - the same way they do when you enable it. More then once I have disabled itunes match when I meant to disable show all music, and it is a pain to wait for itunes match to go through the whole process of enabling itself again.

    It is not a bug. However you may leave your polite feedback for Apple at this page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • One iCloud ID, but two different iTunes Store ID's... possible to sync iTunes Match?

    I tried searching around for an answer on this... a lot of people seem to be having issues when working off of a single Apple ID for the iTunes Store, but in my case my wife and I both use a single account for iCloud syncing but we have our own separate accounts for purchases in the App Store (we each have an iPhone 4S). My question is; if I subscribed to iTunes Match under my Apple ID which I use for my iTunes Store account... is there any way to extend our library of music to my wife's iPhone as well? On mine it's easy enough since it's linked to my Apple ID. But on my wife's iPhone, when she tries to add iTunes Match it asks for the password to her own iTunes Store Apple ID which is totally separate from mine and which is not subscribed to iTunes Match.
    In other words; is there any way to link iTunes Match to the iCloud ID instead of the iTunes Store ID?? Since we share the same iCloud ID (and it happens to be my Apple ID for iTunes Store as well) and since I thought this whole iTunes Match service was a part of "iCloud", I didn't think it would be a problem. But if I go onto my wife's iPhone and change her "Store" ID in Settings, won't this screw up all her previously-purchased apps? Would it work if I changed her Store ID on her iPhone, enabled iTunes Match, and then changed her Store ID back to her own? I somehow doubt it.
    I'm assuming there is no way to segregate an ID my wife uses for App Purchases from an ID we share for iCloud / iTunes match?
    Hope some of the above made sense, thanks for any help. I'm expecting an answer along the lines of "until you can merge ID's, you're out of luck" but hoping for another solution!

    Appreciate the response. I actually ended up tweeting Serenity (author of that article at Macworld) who wrote another article all about iTunes Match:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/163658/2011/11/itunes_match_what_you_need_to_kno w.html
    However, nothing seemed to specifically adress my issue of having multiple ID's for iTunes purchases. But Serenity explained via Twitter that our best bet was to simply put my Apple ID onto my wife's phone and essentially "abandon" her old iTunes ID that she was previously using for purchases. The downside of this is that she won't be able to access her prior purchased iOS apps in the cloud, and of course her future purchases will now be tied to my credit card . But there doesn't seem to be any other way around it. I would have loved if Apple let us use our "iCloud Apple ID" instead of the "iTunes Apple ID" for syncing "iTunes in the Cloud". That way, my wife could have continued to use her separate Apple ID for app purchases, but we would be able to share the same music library across devices. Oh well!

  • ITunes match for a large number of devices, 4 people, and as a backup solution.

    I am interested in using iTunes match for two central reasons:
    1.  Backing up my music library.  Is iTunes Match an solution for this?  Or not really?  I get the fact that my purchases are protected, but what about the music I uploaded from purchased CD's. 
    Question:  Can I consider iTunes Match at $24.99/year the cost of backing up 60GB of music to the cloud?
    2.  Sharing my music library across a number of devices.  We are a family of 4 with farily extensive MAC, iPhone, iPad usage, including ...
    1 iMac (Music server), 3 Power books (Indivudal work machines), 2 iPads, Apple TV,  and 4 iPhones.  We have 4 Mobile me accounts, moving to ICloud.
    The problem I have is that I can never effectively coordinate the music library across the devices.  80GB of iTunes library is too much to load across all the devices and I never seem to have the song I'm looking for at the time I desire it on a particular device, other then the family iMAC server which has the whole library on it.
    Question:  Seems like iTunes Match is an ideal solution, but can it handle the diverse spectrum and number of devices I have?  Ideally I want to thnk of iTunes Matchas, 1 central library avaialble on all devices, all the time.
    Thank you in advance for any opinions.

    Think of iTunes Match as a central library from which "satellite" libraries can pull any time they have an Internet connection.
    Functionally, if all those devices are in your house, iTunes Match doesn't give you much that Home Sharing doesn't already offer.  With Home Sharing all your Macs can easily "fill in the gaps" from the "master" library.  Of course, that requires that the machine with the "master" library is always online and iTunes is always running on it, which might not be the case.  AppleTVs and iPads sync to that "master" library and so what is on them is configured from the master library computer, not the device itself.
    What iTunes Match offers you is:
    1.  Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you don't have to have a home server up and running iTunes at all times.
    2.  Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you can update from it any time you have an internet connection, not just when you are at home.
    3.  The workflow for updating from the canonical library is much better than the clunky "Home Sharing" interface.
    4.  Any "matched" songs (I found that in my library only about 65% were successfully matched; I'm not sure why) will be available at 256kbps AAC, which might be higher quality than what you have in your library currently (especially if you have imperfections like CD skipping, etc, in the tracks).  Of course, anything iTunes can't match to its own library will remain just as imperfect as ever.
    The downside (versus Home Sharing) is:
    1.  Everything needs to get copied onto a device from the Internet, which is likely to take much longer than just Home Sharing over your home wireless network.
    Seems like a pretty good system.  I've signed up for it and am happy with what I've seen so far.

  • TS4124 My iTunes Match suddenly disappeared entirely

    Then, all my collection disappeared, left only those I bought from iTunes. iTunes Match keys / buttons start to disappear across all my devices. My iPhone says that it cannot connect to iTunes Store. What is happening?

    What is your specific question about iTunes Match? We can't help you with the beta of iOS; according to the NDA you agreed to when you signed up the developer account you aren't supposed to be talking about it either.

  • Does iOS 5 support streaming from iTunes Match?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm considering signing up for iTunes Match,  I just have a question about the way it works in iOS 5.
    I have a 16GB iPhone with iOS 5, and the reason I'm wanting a cloud service is because I can't fit my music library on the iPhone itself, so I'd like to be able to stream it.
    My question is, does iTunes Match allow me to stream music on the iPhone using iOS 5, or is streaming only a feature for iOS 6 devices? It would rather defeat the point of getting iTunes Match if I have to download each song before listening, as obviously that's no better than just syncing with iTunes.
    Thanks in advance.

    In iOS 5 all music is downloaded to permanent storage when you listen to it. It is similar in iOS 6 except the "streamed" songs are not store in permanent memory on the iOS device.
