How do I completely get rid of iTunes Match and get a refund?

iTunes Match is awful....
1 - songs are not converting from 128 to 256
2 - most of my songs are not matching (very common songs)
3 - songs are greyed out on my iPhone that shouldn't be (128bit songs)
4 - my playlists are gone
So, how do I just quit this thing and get my money back? this did NOTHING good for my music collection....

As Paige has stated but I would recommend you have a look at some videos first so you have an idea of what can be done and how to do it!!

One account for itunes match and one for all the rest?

Hello everybody
I was wondering how to use an Apple ID for iTunes Match and other for iCloud and backups. I found an article on the website that said that you actually can do that, but my question arises when I find out that now I only use one ID, all my apps are in there, along with my iPhone backups and stuff. So, if I create an ID for subscribing to iTM, will I lose the ability to update my apps on the old ID?
Please help!

Cheers

I know, but I can't use my credit card on my iTunes Store account, since it's a US ID. What if I change the country of my ID? How often can I change it? I was thinking of changing it, purchasing iTM, and then changing it back... can I do that?
Thank you

How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

Can't get rid of iTunes Match

I had horrible problems with iTunes Match on a large music collection - about 4,000 items would not upload or match from iTunes, they just showed 'error'. So after discussing with Apple for 6 months I turned it off and they gave me a refund.
But on my iPhone it seems like it is still remembering all the stuff which was on iTunes Match and it will not sync properly with iTunes. The problem seems to be worse since upgrading to iOS 6.
So I have loads of tracks which will not sync, and duplicate content of other tracks. So some albumbs show (and play) every track twice even though the music only exists once on the iPhone and other albums will not play some (or all) tracks at all.
I've turned off iTunes Match on the iPhone and emptied all music using Settings/Usage. However Music still thinks that all the content is still there - it shows up in dim type but no music is playable because it's not really there.
I attempted to resync. This works the first time in that it tries to copy all the tracks across, but if you interrupt the sync (and I have to because I don't have 24 hours where I can leave phone and computer in same location) then on subsequent syncs it doesn't attempt to sync the remaining tracks. So right now the phone thinks it contains thousands of songs but about a third of them are dimmed and won't play. iTunes refuses to sync any more as it seems to think the job is done.
I tried turning iTunes Match back on as per a previous tip, but my subscription is expired so it just turns itself off again.
Help! Run out of ideas (other than complete phone reset)
TIA
James

well that didn't do any good. it still left about 25 songs which would neither play nor delete. So I reached for iExplorer and deleted the iTunes Control folder as per a previous tip. This successfully emptied the music folder so I thought I was on my way.
Restarted phone, then synced. This simply added the entire music library back on to the phone as before, with all titles dim and nothing playable. iTunes would not copy the music files across, it seemed to be convinced that they were already there.
So I have done a reset and restore from backup, and the tracks now appear to be syncing across.

How can download all the songs from itunes match to an ipad 2?

I activate itunes match in my Imac, the process of scan and identify the library songs is finished successfully, after that i activate the itunes match in my ipad, I need download all the songs in the ipad, I select Music Icon and don't appear the (download all) button in the section of songs, i have to push the cloud button in each song to download?
I enter in the section of albums and playlist and in this section the button download all appears. How can i download all the songs to the device?

I just found the answer by myself. Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download. Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine. I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH. To me, it was a disaster. Worse than their map app.

What is iTunes Match and how does it work?

What is iTunes Match and how does it work? I have several tunes on my computer that do not show complete. The source of these tunes are from my own CDs.

iTunes match - http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ - see FAQ at end too
Basically it looks at the music you have in iTunes. If it sees the equivalent on the iTunes Store site it does nothing, but it makes that copy accessible to you to download. If you have music it doesn't it will upload a version from your computer to the site that only you can access from anywhere online.
In your case if you have incomplete tracks it will not fix them. It does some kind of audio fingerprinting to make sure you aren't just feeding it a bunch of 60s demonstration cuts and trying to get whole tracks back.

HT4759 I'd bought cloud and I am looking to see how it works and still don't know. So can somebody tell me how it works, and why does money keep disappearing from my account. I didn't used iTunes match, and and copied everything I had in iTunes and am now

1) How do I use Cloud? I mistakingly use itune match and made copy of all I already had in tunes! 2) how do I get rid of all the copys? 3)how do I get the money that keeps disappars from my account?

I got into a similar situation last night trying to enable wireless on my already configured wired my Time Capsule. It was getting the same or very similar 169.xxx IP address for itself.
I found that I had to change ( I suspect it was restore my previous setting ) the Configure IPv4 item under the Internet Tab in manual setup of the Airport Utility.
It appeared a "manually" and I changed it (back?) to "Using DHCP".
That combined with Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) lets the upstream router that connects directly to my Cable modem be the DHCP server for the entire network.
As everything had worked fine for weeks until I enabled wireless it seems that the Configure Ipv4 parameter was reset either by me mistakenly or by the updating o f the changed settings. Frankly I' quite sure I didn't change it accidentally (famous last words)
Other combinations may aslo work, but this works for me.

HT4914 i subscribed to itunes match and i can't get it to come up on my apple ipad mini....help

I subscribed to apple itunes match and for some reason it won't load onto my ipad. Do anyone know how to get it to download

Hi,
If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
(And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).

Hey imol92,
You may have already looked at this; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
It is all the public information on removing songs that you have uploaded to the iTunes Cloud.

iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

HT204406 How do you download the tunes in iTunes Match to an iPod?

How do you download the tunes in iTunes Match in iCloud to an iPod?

I did see this yes, I also spent about 20 minutes on the phone finally with a technical support person at Apple who told me to restart and reset my phone which got rid of the few playlists I'd somehow managed to keep on my phone, and also got me off his back because I had to hang up with him to do so....useless.
