How do I load iTunes match for my iPad?

I tried to play music on my new iPad but got a message I needed to subscribe to iTunes Match.  How do I do that?

Are you subscribed to iTunes match with another device? If so then sign in with your Apple ID if not then go into settings > Music and turn off iTunes match.

  • I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing  iPad music.

    I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
    Thanks!!

    You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

    Ive had to reboot my Apple TV before I had the option to enable iTunes Match but it did not see my music library. I tried a second reboot and it still says my music library is empty. Its been several days and I can access my library on a Windows PC, my Mac and my iPad so Im all synced up, my Apple TV apparently just wants to be stubborn.

  • How do I download songs from iTunes Match for offline or spotty coverage?

    I have a 64GB iPhone and want to be able to DOWNLOAD songs from iTunes match for use when I have spotty 3G coverage (or no coverage, or only expensive coverage, or on an airplane). How can I do this? Right now iTunes is not using any of my data storage on my phone for previously downloaded songs for future use (caching).

    What you want to do actually has nothing to do with iTunes Match. What you need to do is enable automatic downloads in iTunes. Open iTunes prefs > Store and select the option for, at least, "music" and click OK. Now any music you buy will be downloaded to your iTunes library automatically. But iTunes will need to be running for this to happen.

  • TS4009 set up my new iPhone 5S 6 hours ago - when go to Music it says "Loading iTunes Match-" now status bar - how long does it take?  how can I see the progress or status of the Load?  I don't know if it is actually doing anything

    How can I find the status of loading iTunes match?  I set up my iPhone 5S over 6 hours ago and still no music.  No status bar - I don't know if anything is even downloading

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It shouldn't take anywhere near that, I'd try again, make sure you have a good connection.

  • HT204406 I bought iTunes Match enabled it on my ipad now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I have is the music my daughter purchased from itunes how can I get them back. for her ipad.

    I have ipad 3 & daughter new ipad mini with RD. She has nano and I have classic. Her nano syncs to her own laptop and mine to my desktop. I bought iTunes Match and authorised both iPads and both iPods. I have now enabled iTunes Match in my ipad and was warned it would replace my library. I pressed "enable" and now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I've got is the music my daughter bought from iTunes. What have I done wrong and how can I get my songs back. When I bought iTunes Match I got 1 e-mail confirming subscription and another providing receipt but nothing else no links etc. any assistance would be appreciated.

    You can only upload music from your computer's iTunes, you can't do it from an iOS device - when you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer it should have scanned your music library on it and matched or uploaded any non-iTunes purchased music to it.
    Do you have copies of those tracks anywhere e.g. on an iOS device or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If they are iTunes purchases then they should be in the cloud. If they were copied from CDs or bought from other sources then if they are only on an iOS device (i.e. you don't have them on a backup) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Trouble loading itunes match on apple tv

    I am having trouble loading iTunes Match on my Apple TV. It has the latest OS, the correct account is accessed and iTunes Match is turned on. I tried logging out and back in, but songs from the iCloud just won't load. It says it may take a few minutes, but it has been over 4 hours in the latest attempt. No problem accessing the iCloud on my iPhone 4.
    There are only about 3,000 songs in the cloud, so how long should this take ?
    Anybody have any ideas ? I subscribed to have my songs available on Apple TV...
    Thanks for any input.

    Yes, the initial scan, match and upload process is completed. As far as my network is concerned, there is nothing unusual happening, just some emails etc - normal stuff and I am on high speed.
    On Apple TV, the "loading circle" just keeps on spinning, but nothing else is happening. Not sure what else to try...

  • 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???

  • ITunes match for a large number of devices, 4 people, and as a backup solution.

    I am interested in using iTunes match for two central reasons:
    1.  Backing up my music library.  Is iTunes Match an solution for this?  Or not really?  I get the fact that my purchases are protected, but what about the music I uploaded from purchased CD's. 
    Question:  Can I consider iTunes Match at $24.99/year the cost of backing up 60GB of music to the cloud?
    2.  Sharing my music library across a number of devices.  We are a family of 4 with farily extensive MAC, iPhone, iPad usage, including ...
    1 iMac (Music server), 3 Power books (Indivudal work machines), 2 iPads, Apple TV,  and 4 iPhones.  We have 4 Mobile me accounts, moving to ICloud.
    The problem I have is that I can never effectively coordinate the music library across the devices.  80GB of iTunes library is too much to load across all the devices and I never seem to have the song I'm looking for at the time I desire it on a particular device, other then the family iMAC server which has the whole library on it.
    Question:  Seems like iTunes Match is an ideal solution, but can it handle the diverse spectrum and number of devices I have?  Ideally I want to thnk of iTunes Matchas, 1 central library avaialble on all devices, all the time.
    Thank you in advance for any opinions.

    Think of iTunes Match as a central library from which "satellite" libraries can pull any time they have an Internet connection.
    Functionally, if all those devices are in your house, iTunes Match doesn't give you much that Home Sharing doesn't already offer.  With Home Sharing all your Macs can easily "fill in the gaps" from the "master" library.  Of course, that requires that the machine with the "master" library is always online and iTunes is always running on it, which might not be the case.  AppleTVs and iPads sync to that "master" library and so what is on them is configured from the master library computer, not the device itself.
    What iTunes Match offers you is:
    1.  Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you don't have to have a home server up and running iTunes at all times.
    2.  Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you can update from it any time you have an internet connection, not just when you are at home.
    3.  The workflow for updating from the canonical library is much better than the clunky "Home Sharing" interface.
    4.  Any "matched" songs (I found that in my library only about 65% were successfully matched; I'm not sure why) will be available at 256kbps AAC, which might be higher quality than what you have in your library currently (especially if you have imperfections like CD skipping, etc, in the tracks).  Of course, anything iTunes can't match to its own library will remain just as imperfect as ever.
    The downside (versus Home Sharing) is:
    1.  Everything needs to get copied onto a device from the Internet, which is likely to take much longer than just Home Sharing over your home wireless network.
    Seems like a pretty good system.  I've signed up for it and am happy with what I've seen so far.

  • 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.

  • ITunes Match for the iMac - Music Files on an iPod?

    I subscribe to iTunes Match and have an iPod Classic 160GB. Is it possible to use iTunes Match for my entire music library on my iMac & iPhone BUT put the actual song files on my iPod Classic? The problem is my music library is large, won't fit on my iMac Flash hard drive and iTunes Match is perfect. But I can't figure out how to get those songs onto my iPod Classic because iTunes Match is enabled on iTunes.
    I would like to keep my iTunes library on the iMac using Match and have the physical songs be on the iPod Classic.
    I tested this by putting 1 album on the iMac hd. Then syncing the iPod. Then deleting it from iTunes (the cloud icon came back so Match is doing it's thing and I deleted the physical song files). Sync'd again but this time I checked Manually Manage Music & Videos in the iTunes iPod Settings window before hand, thinking that would tell iTunes to not worry that the 1 Who album wasn't physically on my h/d anymore. But it didn't work. It removed the that album from the iPod Classic.
    Is this possible and I don't have the correct settings in iTunes or on the iPod? Or is this a limitation of using iTunes Match?

    Hey thanks, Jim... Actually I do have a back up of my entire library on an external drive. Is the process just dragging the songs and albums from the Finder (from the external drive backup) onto the iPod when I plug it in to iTunes and they copy over? Is it possible to create new or update existing Playlists with this method? But is key is to never sync the iPod with iTunes or do I need to check Manually Manage Music & Videos?
    Or am I looking at this completely wrong. lol
