How can I sync my iTunes Match covers to my iPhone?

I have recently found new cover art for many albums and replaced this art in my iMac desktop iTunes 11 files.  However, the new art will not sync to my iTunes Match enabled devices (such as my iPhone or MacBook Air). 
I've tried turning Match on and off on all devices to force a refresh of the contents.  Nope. 
Unlike the problem reported here in some posts, iTunes is not changing my new art back.  I retain the new art and see it on the iMac, but nowhere else.
Also, the art which will not change is not restricted to albums which ITunes matches with its online motherlode.  Some is music which is not matched and therefore has uploaded. I presume, therefore, I have control over all that metadata, but the original art I added to these music files years ago persists.
I suspect that removing these files from iTunes and then re-adding them might force a new look, but this could take me weeks of work.  It seems that any updated metadata info ought to be synced to the iCloud without such a laborious workaround.
Can anyone suggest how I can get iTunes Match to sync all my artwork?  Thank you.

with a cable

    Try the iTunes "Transfer Purchases" menu item. This will transfer music purchased through iTunes on your iPhone to your computer.

    How can I subscribe to itunes Match redeeming from itunes card instead of using credit card?

    Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

  • I just purchased a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone and I am trying to sync my iTunes library from my Windows laptop.  How can I sync my iTunes library to all devices?

    I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro (13 inch with Retina display), an iPad Air 2, and an iPhone 6 plus.  Before these purchases, I was using a Windows 7 laptop to manage my iTunes library and iTunes purchases.  I am in need of syncing my iTunes library on my iPod classic (160 GB) with all of my new Apple devices.  How can I sync my iTunes library with all of my new devices?

    Devices can only sync to one library at a time. You can, however, have multiple copies of libraries on different computers though it can be tricky making sure they are always synchronized.  You can put your Windows iTunes on your Mac.
    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

    I do not own a computer. I bought an iPad. ALL my music is stored on it. How can I subscribe to iTunes Match?

    If you are in the US then your iTunes purchased music should be in the cloud for redownloading in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - but music can be removed from the store at any point by the record companies (and similarly for other content types as well), so you shouldn't rely on being able to redownload it in the future.
    Do you have access to a computer e.g. a friend or family member that you could use ?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
