How can I turn off itunes match on my phone without losing all my playlists?

I have itunes match but want to keep all my music on my iPhone because I travel and don't always have access to the internet.  I upgrades to ios8 and now it seems if I turn off iTunes Match in my phone it get rid of all my playlists.  How can I stop that from happening.  I want my music, and playlist on my phone.

To keep playlists on the phone, create them on the phone
To keep music on the phone, download the tracks before turning off Match.
But turning off Match isn't really necessary. Just turn off Show all music in the music app settings, or do not attempt to play a track that has a cloud icon (i.E. isn't downloaded).

    I want to disable iTunes Match on my Macbook Pro?   How do I do that?
    The main reason is bc I just want to sync all of  my music to my iPad and not have to download it from the cloud one song at a time on my iPad.

    jrhuff -
    Open iTunes
    At the top menu select "Store"
    Scroll down to "Turn off iTunes Match" (I've already turned mine off so it shows " Turn on iTunes Match") If your's is on, it will say, "Turn off iTunes Match"

  • How can I turn off iTunes match?

    Although my iTunes match account did not renew, the "music" tab for my iPad (under iTunes on my MacPro) when connected, still shows "iTunes Match is ON"
    Under the "store" in iTunes menu tab it shows: "Turn On iTunes match"
    It is OK for all other devices; iPhones, etc.  Only for iPad the problem still remains.
    On the iPad itself; it shows off, i.e.: "please renew iMatch account"
    I have tried logins and outs, sync, etc.  Nothing works!  I cannot sync my music on my iPad anymore, even manually!

    Hi Pressas,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The first area I would check in this situation would be under Settings > Music on your iPad and make sure iTunes Match is turned off. Please use the following article as a reference.

  • How can I turn OFF iTunes Match on ALL devices?

    I am in Australia and just paid AUD34.99 last night to buy iTunes Match and have had so much trouble with it since I want to turn it OFF on all devices.  Ideally I'd love a refund but understand that terms and conditions may limit this - though am really disappointed that it simply does not seem to work despite me following everything to set it up correctly.
    In theory, it's a great service and I'm sure in the long run will be useful but for now until I could figure it out I wanted to just turn it OFF on both my iphone & Macbook pro - have done this in settings - music - turn off on iPhone...but still ON!  Also on Macbook, have turned off in store - turn off - and it's disappeared off my store options - BUT IS STILL ON in Itunes!
    It's not only the hours of my time and frustration at trying to do simple things, for example had some friends around today and trying to just play music on my mac, and it kept skipping all over the place (i.e. would not finish a track, go to the next one, then skip through several on shuffle meaning a long gap between songs).  It also does not find a lot of music in my library that is definitely already in iTunes store, meaning that it is using my valuable upload limit for a lot of songs.
    Overall, what the app promises and what it actually delivers in practice is very disappointing and frustrating.   I realise it's just recently launched so may still have some issues, but I don't want to pay for a service that doesn't work properly for me - and then not even be able to turn it off?  Can anyone help or have had similar experiences?  I've emailed Apple customer support but meanwhile wanted to try and get this sorted asap.

    ok after another hour of playing around i might have half solved this...I turned match off via my account within the store which didn't seem to work properly, but then found another option to "turn off" via the store dropdown in the menu bar which does seem to have worked on my mac (but not yet on my iphone so still need to figure this out). Now I have turned it off on my mac it seems to offer me the option to buy it again - but as i've already paid for the year I don't know if there is the option to turn on again if I choose to later?

  • I have just purchased a Macbook pro, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone, Ta

    Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

    The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
    Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

    Hi Scott Waters,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you want to turn off iTunes Match on your Apple computer. You can turn if off under Store in the Menu Bar. The following article has information for how to turn iTunes Match on, the option to turn it off will be in the same Store drop down menu.

    Furthermore, after turning off iTunes Match on your computer, I suggest going into your Account Information in iTunes and turning off the Auto-Renew subscription for iTunes Match if you have decided that you no longer want it. That information and instructions can be found in this article.
    iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4914
    To turn off Auto-Renew for iTunes Match
    iTunes Match will automatically renew your subscription at the end of your 1 year subscription by default.
    To turn off Auto-Renew for iTunes Match from a computer
    Open the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
    Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password.
    In the "iTunes in the Cloud" section, click Turn Off Auto-Renew to the right of iTunes Match.
    Thanks for reaching out,

  • Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?

    I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
    To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.

    Hi,
    Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
    To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this computer.

  • HT204406 How do I turn off iTunes match

    I don't want to use it any more, and it is keeping mew from switching countries for the store. I don't care about the music in the cloud.

    You don't need to turn off iTunes Match to get your content out of the cloud.

  • How do I turn off Itunes  match without lossing all my music

    Hi,
    I had all my music on my hard drive. Then I turned om Itunes match. All the music was accesible with all the IOS devices.
    1. But playing on IOS devices during travel took almost all my download availbility amount of GB of my provider.
    2. Itunes match does not work with Sonos, so my smart playlists in itunes are not accesible by sonos
    I just want took go back to the previous situation.
    a. hard downloads of music to my imac
    b. playlists accesible by sonos
    c. hand synchronizing with my IOS devices
    I searched the internet to get directions to accomplish this but no joy
    Can anyone on this foum give me a hand?

    Thanks for all the replies.
    First of all I made a conceptual mistake. I was under the impression that if you turn om itunes matches all music would disapear from the HD of the computer because everything was in the cloud. Secondly I thought that new music bought from the itunes store would be tagged and not being fysical downloaded to the HD. Both conceptual ideas proved to be wrong. All the music is still fysical on my HD.
    Turning of itunes match I can do in itunes under the store menu I found that. Do I still have to turn it off on all the mobile devices, or will turning of in the store menu suffice?
