How do I get iTunes Match to update playlists I change content on with my PC?

Help! I cannot get iTunes to update one of my playlists (I use iTunes Match). I tried turning Match off to manually sync, but the option to sync did not become available. And after one of the syncs, even with Match back on, now I have lost ALL of my playlists on my iPhone and most of the songs in my library. It looks like all that has synced are purchases I made through the iTunes store. I am teaching Zumba in 1 hour and I need my playlist and songs!

Thanks, Michael. I'm not sure what network you were referring to. I had my iPhone connected via USB directly to my PC. I am on Cable for internet access and have Verizon as my cellular carrier. I don't know where I would enable "use cellular network"?
ITM has updated my playlists in the past, usually within minutes of changing them. But this time, hours went by and no update. I finally manged, by rebooting iTunes after turning off ITM in both iTunes and on my phone, to get the option to sync manually to come up. So for now, I have ITM turned off, but I don't know what will happen if I turn it back on. I would like to have the listing of all my songs on my phone again for downloading as desired from my Library. But I need my playlists for teaching, so I can't afford to have them vaporize again!
Not sure I feel ITM was worth paying for with this aggravation.

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

HT204406 iTunes Match syncing updated playlist

When I update songs in a playlist, the iTunes Match does not apply the changes. I thought that was one of the perks for subscribing to iTunes Match. Should I be doing something to help this along?

Have you found a solution? I have the exact same problem. It used to work fine though. I'm not sure if the issue is caused by iOS 6 or what but it worked for me when i did it over the summer. I tried again this week, I created a playlist on my iPad with 50 songs then the playlist title appears on my iMac but it's empty.

How can I get iTunes Match to download songs on new iphone5s?

Hi, I just exchanged the iphone4 for for the iphone 5s. For five days now it says 'Loading iTunes Match' on the display of the new phone when I go to 'Music'. Same thing for photographs. What can I do?
So far I've checked that all the right things are enabled, but I'm wondering if I've missed something. It worked more or less fine on the iphone 4. I went through similar topics on this notice board and tried the solution of deleting the old iphone from the list of devices.
It won't update to 7.0.3 because it says something about the iPhone having to restore from the iCloud backup...
The only thing that's out of the ordinary with my account, is that the apple shop originally set me up with a second itunes account for icloud when 'me' got discontinued. Does this matter? I never had issues like this with the iphone 4.
I hope someone can help! I work with both music and photographs! If all else fails, I am willing to stop using iclouds...
Please let me know if you had the same issues and found a solution!! Thanks! rheia@

I just decided to not heed the warning about loosing data if I updated to 7.0.3 before the iPhone was finished restoring from the iCloud back up and it worked!! I'm getting my songs now! It's downloading my music! :-) Don't know about the photos yet, but I guess I'll find out.

How do I get iTunes to display updates?

Ipad says I have 5 updates, but it won't display them in iTunes. Why? How do I get this to work so I can do the updates?

Try this workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

How do I get iTunes match to accept changes made to my library?

After making changes in my iTunes library (Genre, Album Information, etc.) iTunes Match reverses all the hours of organizing I have done and returns it to the original state. How do I make sure my library is the master source and allow me to force upload changes to the cloud and not vice versa?

Hi,
THis is an issue that is reported regularly on this forum.
Changes made to data when match is turned on should automatically filter through to the cloud. No need to select update iTunes match. This is the way it should work and I have not had any major issues. The only exception seems to be iTunes store purchases but only on a small number. The changes eventually stick after a few attempts.
I Keep all my music in my library on my main computer. Changes filter through to my other computer which is set up to stream. I sometimes do the change on that computer. Such changes appear on my main computer.

How do I get iTunes Match to upload my music library from my external hard drive? It only got some of the music and not a lot of it at that.

I'm trying iTunes Match and not having a great time of it so far. It only got a fraction of my music from my music library. I contacted support and they told me that it would recognize my external hard drive and take all of the music. My collection is all from CDs with the exception of a few from iTunes. I just want more of my collection to be available.
Can anyone help with that

The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

How do I get iTunes Match to recognize my IOS device?

I just subscribed to iTunes Match thourhg itunes on my iMac desktop computer. I have confirmation that there are more than 200 songs available in iCloud. Immediately after subscribing I was able to listen to music on my iPad. Today, however, when I attempt to turn on iTunes Match on my iPad the message, "You are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match" appears. It requests that I use iTunes on my computer to subscribe. So why isn't my iPad recognizing my subscription to iTunes Match and iCloud? When I open Music on the iPad, the songs show up, but they will not play.

iTunes Match is shut off on my iPad. The problem is that when I attempt to turn iTunes Match on by going to Settings, Music, and touch iTunes Match, it briefly switches on, then shuts off and displays the message that I am not subscribed. But my computer indicates that I am subscribed. iTunes Match worked on my iPad when I first subscribed, but now it keeps insisting that I am not subscribed..

How do you get itunes to stop updating the I pod?

You can configure iTunes to sync only a subset of your music. Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you want on the iPod, and change the iPod sync settings. More info is here.

How can I get iTunes to automatically find the file for songs marked with ! without manually doing each one?

Ok, we've had a problem with our external hard drive which holds all of our music files (our H drive). It's the 2nd time going down and we're just chalking it up as a failure. Fortunately, we had it all backed up onto another external hard drive (our G drive). We re-did iTunes back in February (bringing all the files in, sorting, playlists, etc) after fixing it the first time. So I have that exact files from then (on the G drive) minus a new CD or two, nothing major. But when I open that iTunes library, it doesn't find the music that is connected to it - even though all the music is in the folder connected to the library (all in G drive). I'm not sure if this file is still trying to look for my H drive folder.
I found a previous question asked on here about the ! songs. I brought in all the music from the iTunes/Music folder. So of course, I have double now. I would just go delete all the rest - except for this. What about my playlists?? I don't really want to recreate each one manually. I have also adjusted a ton of info in iTunes over the years to make things easier (fixed spelling when it brings it from a CD wrong, etc). That brings me back to wondering if I could have iTunes automatically search for its own file instead of me doing it for 7,500+ songs.
Any ideas?? Or am I just stuck doing a lot of work?
Thanks!

If what is on the G: drive is a mirror of what was on the H: drive, then get Windows to change the drive letter of G: to H:
If a simple fix isn't forthcoming then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect the missing tracks to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread.

How can I get iTunes 11 to Shuffle Playlists like old version?

Anyone have any idea why they changed the shuffle function in the iTunes player? I really liked being able to see what the shuffled playlist would be and reshuffle if I didn't like the way it was mixed up. Is there a setting I can change to get it back?

Found it: PREFERENCES --> STORE --> uncheck "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases."
