How can I turn iTunes Match off without an internet connection?

Hi all. I find myself up s**t creek without a paddle. I have subscribed to iTunes Match, which I find to be an excellent service. However, I'm travelling (by ship) and don't have an internet connection for the forseeable future. I recently, prior to departing on my voyage, scrubbed my phone and ipad for extra space, so I deleted all of my music content, knowing my music would be with me on my laptop. However, now I want to walk around the ship and listen to my music, which I assumed I would be able to sync with my laptop. Unfortunately, I can't find any iTunes or iPhone options to sync any music because it says iTunes Match is enabled. There are no options to disable iTunes Match either. I'm using the latest version of iOS (5.1) on an iPhone 4S purchased in Japan, as well as the most recent (as of 4/1/2012) version of iTunes on my Macbook Pro running OS X Lion.
Thanks for any help someone might offer.

I was recently able to connect my iPhone to a Wi-Fi network connected to the internet. Only then did the option show up in the Settings app. I'm not sure if that's by design or if it's a bug, but it's terribly inconvenient just at the moment I need to access the feature. If it's by design, it's a poor design compared to most other aspects of iOS.

How can you turn the screen off without access to the power button and without using auto-lock?

We are using iPads that are locked down with Guided Access and secured within hard plastic mounts screwed down onto a countertop. We can press the home button with a paperclip, but that's it. We don't want to use auto-lock because there might be several hours where the terminals aren't used, but we don't want them to go to sleep during business hours, otherwise we'll have to grab a paper clip and turn them back on. Also, if we set the auto-lock to several hours, then the iPads wouldn't be off for very long at night. I want to turn them off when we close at night, but it's challenging to open the cases and lift the iPads out, so that's not a reasonable option.
Any thoughts?

Look for a new case.
There is varying opinions where it is best to power down electronics overnight or leave them on all the time to lengthen the life of a device.
I power down to save electricity at night.

After I download a 256 kbps song using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer at the higher bit rate once I turn ITunes Match off again?

After I download a 256 kbps song from the cloud using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer once I turn ITunes Match off again? I have been using ITunes Match for awhile now to increase the bit rate on songs to 256 kbps. Once I download the songs at the new bit rate, I turn off Match because I want to eliminate duplicates. Usually there is no problem. This time, however, 278 of my songs lost their file association and were unplayable unless I locate the song files within my computer. These are songs purchased from Amazon. In order to play them again in ITunes (Match is now off), I must locate each song file individually (I've tried to do it in bulk but have not succeeded) but now the bit rate has returned to the lower number BEFORE I matched the song. I should have never used Match in the first place. Any ideas, anyone?

I discovered that the NEW 256 bit file does reside on my computer, in the ITunes files (My Music/ITunes/ITunes Media/Music. So I can bring the songs back as 256 kbps, and I have been successful now at locating more than one file at a time, by clicking on the "find other missing files" tab in the popup window. Previously, I'd been going back to my Amazon files, and not only was I unable to bring back a 256 version, but the popup window would not locate similar files. So while I wish ITunes Match would automatically associate the ITunes Match file, at least I can retrive the file association without hours and hours of work.

How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?

I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?

I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums???

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Even turning iTunes Match OFF is a mess

iTunes Match on the desktop = awesome.
On the iPhone = disaster.
Just a warning to everyone else. IM match is terrible on the iPhone. Playlists don't sync right (if at all), music is terribly slow to download, there's no album art or genius playlists, and it crashed my iPhone numerous times.
So I disabled it, restarted my phone, and synced it back with iTunes to return to manual control. After taking several hours to sync 3000+ songs, most songs still had the cloud icon next to them --> even with iTunes Match OFF. Playing one of them would still try to stream it/download it from the cloud. So I did a restore from last backup. After that completed, I reloaded all my songs AGAIN. Went to launch Music.app - and all I got was a blank white screen for about 10 seconds, and then it crashed. Did a hard reset, same issue. I could not play music on my phone.
Scheduled a genius appointment. Waited at the store for 30 minutes (past my appointment). After a quick diagnosis, he said that springboard was corrupt and I'd have to do a complete factory restore. He even advised against restoring from a backup after that -- he wanted me to start over and manually re-do all my settings and app installations (and lose all my data, saved games etc).
I took a gamble and did a restore, but then restored from a backup too. That seemed to work. I reloaded all my songs, iTunes match is off, and there's no iCloud icon next to any of my songs.
Bottom line - think twice before using iTunes Match on your iPhone. There are definite bugs that need to be sorted out. I literally spent most of Saturday syncing and restoring my phone.
Having said that, I greatly enjoy the service on my desktop - it keeps my work and home iTunes library and sync, and I was able to replace tons of old rips with fresh 256 kpbs tracks. But I won't be renewing if Apple doesn't get the mobile experience fixed.

I experienced the same "disfunction" when turning iTunes Match off on my iPhone and iPad - there were still all kinds of stale files and links to the "cloud" still hangning around on my devices. Also, after turning Match off on the device, when I connected the device to iTunes on my mac, looking at the "Music" folder on the iPhone and iPad within iTunes still showed all kinds of "greyed out" files (with song entries often duplicated 2 or 3 times) that could not be deleted - even when "manage music manually" was selected.
I was able to clean things up using the OPs suggestion of turning iTunes Match off on the devices and restoring from back up, so thank you for that.
All in all, I concur with the OP - iTunes match is fantastic between computers, but with iOS devices it is currently not ready for prime time.

HT204406 How can I reset iTunes Match to my original version, before it was corrupted by iMatch?

How can I reset iTunes Match to my original version, before it was corrupted by iTunes Match? I have a extensive library I developed over years and it has been totally destroyed by iTunes Match and I have not been able to rectify it, no matter what.

Hallo Jim, thanks for the response.
I have a library of around 9000 songs, about 40 playlists and all albums sorted etc. It was originally kept on a Windows 7 based system. After linking the entire library on iTunes Matc (which took forever), all was fine for a while, then suddenly double playlists start apearing, songs disapeard form playlists and I started to loose all my settings!
In a last attempt to solve my problems, I purchased a Mac to use at home with all the other Apple devices. (Appletv, iPads etc) Unfortunatelly despite numerous attempts I have not been able to copy the library over to the MAC, as I keep on loosing half of the data. I tried iTunes Match, but this made things even worse.
Reading several forums and tutorials and trying everything, simply helped me to recover an older version of the Library by copieng a pervious version and replacing the current .itl file. (on the Windows based system)
So, I now have a fairly updated and complete iTunes Library on my Windows based computer at work, but all my other devices and MAC at home have skeleton versions of the original Library.
I have disabled iTune Match on all sytems as well as Genius , as this seams to be escalating the problems by creating multiple versions of my existing playlists, but none that are complete.
If you have advice for me, or can refer me to a detailed and accurate tutorial, I will be very grateful.
Thank you,
Hennie

Hi
Do you use MS Word?
If yes, then you should disable the overtype function. You can see it marked as OVR.
Double click on this shortcut and you will be able to disable this.

HT1390 Can you watch a rented movie without an internet connection?

It is my hope to rent a movie today
and watch it while on a flight tomorrow.
Can I watch a rented movie without an internet connection?
I.e: is it streamed or downloaded?
Do I have to buy the movie in order to watch it without an internet connection?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.
