HT4914 How does iTunes match work with multiple Apple IDs?

I am trying to set up an iTunes Match account that complies the music of my whole family so that we can all acceess it from our devices. First, is it possible to upload music from multiple apple IDs and / or devices. And is it possible to then access the iTunes match library from multiple apple IDs? I know you can access the muysic from up to 10 devices but do they all have to be logged into the same apple ID to do so? Thanks for the help

You'll need to have the music on a computer or an external drive connected to it.

Can iTunes Match sync with multiple libraries?

I have two libraries on my MacBook. Can I match both of them or should I take the time to consolidate them into one first?

IIRC match uses the ITunes store Apple Id, so if the use the same you can do each in turn. If they have different store ids then you are nadgered and have to do each individually and cannot share.

I have mulitple copies appearing on my ipad after using icloud and itunes match, how do I get only 1 copy to appear?

I am new to the Ipad, I just got the Ipad with retina display in and only have a 16gb memory. I wanted to use Icloud for my music and other items, but when I started using Icloud and Itunes match, my Ipad has up to 3 of the same song listed on the song list. and will repeat when I am listening to my music. I was wondering how I can get those multiple copies go away to just 1.

Using iCloud and iTunes match, should I still wirelessly sync with my computer iTunes?

Using an iPhone 4 with the latest updates. I keep getting an error message syncing over my wireless network that says "Cannot sync phone. There are too many files open" from iTunes on my compter. Should I turn off the wireless syncing now that I'm using iCloud and iTunes Match?
There are 4 iPhones that are using this feature on our network, plus AppleTV 2.

Even though you have iTunes match and iCloud, there are several other types of media that aren't included in either of the services, such as movies, photos etc, if you aren't syncing any of these to your phones, then you may well be able to turn iTunes wifi sync off.
Personally, I would want to find the cause of the error message and use the iTunes sync for backup, I consider it far more reliable and convenient than iCloud for back up

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.

ICloud and iTunes match

Have an iPhone4 and iPad2 both with all latest updates. Also using iCloud and iTunes Match.
What is the best way to set these up? I don't need music on either device but noticed my entire iTunes library on both devices. I really don't need music on either device except what I choose for each. Noticed my phone close to needing more storage, so I tried to swipe and delete albums but nothing happened. I went to the music icon and deleted everything which showed no data. Then selected the music icon at bottom of phone and all the music is still there.
I also backed up the phone and iPad on iCloud but nothing shows on iCloud.
What is suggested? Should I back these up to iCloud or to themselves or even iTunes? ITunes Match allows access to iTunes library in ICloud but checking iCloud I don't see an iTunes library or iPhone in iCloud. Perhaps I don' need iTunes Match?
Need some guidance on the best way to set things up and what some of you have done. Also how do I delete the music on the phone with what I described earlier.
Thanks
Don

iCloud and itunes match are different services. iCloud really has no impact on iTunes match. When you set up itunes match, I assume your itunes music library was synced up to the match cloud. You other devices list all the music but don't have it physically on the device until you download it.
You might post over at the itunes match forum where users there are more knowledgeable than most here.

Music on iCloud and iTunes Match

I currently have both iCloud and itunes Match for all of my music files. Since I was traveling to a country with limited WiFi access, I decided to dowmload most of my music onto my iPad so I could access it...which exausted most of my storage capacity (64 GB). I would now like to reverse this process, removing my music from from my iPad capacity back to iCloud/Match...which made my music available but didn't use up my storage...HELP !

Hey C Speechly!
Here is a link that should be able to help you accomplish this:
iTunes Match - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Remove iPad from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices. In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.

Does itunes match work with an airplay device?

This is the picture: speaker with airplay, iphone 4s and itunes match-account. Can I stream music (itunes match) from iphone to airplay speaker device?

Once your Iphone has located the airplay speaker you should be able to stream music without issue. Have you tried to get your phone and speaker working together? Once you do you should be able to stream your music no problem.

ICloud and iTunes Match with different Apple IDs

I won't bore you with how it happened, but I ended up with two AppleID accounts using two different email addresses, one for iCloud (upgraded from MobileMe) and one for iTunes. I enabled iTunes Match before realizing this, and now my iPhone and iPad won't work with iTunes Match. If I change the iPhone/iPad to use the iTunes account, I don't have iCloud. Can I merge two accounts? Or is there a way to change my iTunes Match to the same account used for iCloud?
Help!

I tried doing this because I have the same problem, but I can't log in to iCloud with my regular apple ID. For some reason it needs to be an email address. Any other ideas?

ICloud and iTunes Match forced me to create a new account?

I've always used one account to login and purchase from iTunes. It was just a username, DAVEINLA. With this recent migration of MobileMe to iCloud, I believe I have two logins. When migrating I tried using the daveinla account and it said that the account name should be your MobileMe e-mail address. It didn't seem to create any problems, until I turned on iTunes Match on my iPhone, it says I've not signed up for iTunes Match. I believe it's because I purchased iTunes match with my original DAVEINLA account.
So now I have:
iTunes Match on my DAVEINLA account
iCloud on my e-mail account
What do I do so I can use iTunes Match and iCloud on my phone?
Any help would be appreciated. I contacted support and they gave me a curt "you cannot merge two Apple ID accounts". Really? Then you shouldn't have forced me to create one with the mobileme to iCloud conversion!

Question about icloud and itunes match

when icloud comes out i know i can download all my purchased music on my apple id but i purchased most of my apps and music on an old apple id , my question is if i use itunes match are those apps and songs assosiated with my new apple id so when i backup from iCloud my old music and apps are there too. In pretty sure my music will work with itunes match but what about my apps?

Itunes match has not been release so it is hard to know.
Just sign into your old account and use icloud.

IPhone 5s and iTunes match started with wrong apple i

Hello,
Yesterday I started with iTunes match with one of my apple id's (the one I mostly use for shopping)
UnfortunateIy, while reading the instructions I didn't quite understand that it would not be available to my other id (apple id for iCloud)
My macbook, windows pc and ipad are synced with the correct apple id (for iCloud)
Now my iphone is not synced because I started iTunes match with another apple id of mine....!
As I realise what happened I think that a 90 day period is absurd!!! in order to get my device free to sync with my choice apple id
Because of this situation I have bought de iTunes match twice.
Can you help me with the two following?
1. Is it possible to cancel de purchase for apple id: please?
2. And to have my iPhone 5s available for de iTunes match
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Mari Barneveld

Hello mary.bee
To resolve the issue, you will need to report the issue to the iTunes Store. As for the 90 days the article below will have some information about associating your Apple ID with other devices.

Does iTunes Match work with library in Dropbox?

Getting ready to drag and drop my iTunes music library files to Dropbox for backup reasons. Will then of course point iTunes to the new location. Before I make the move, I'd like to first hear from users who, like me, are on iTunes Match but who, unlike me, have their library stored in Dropbox. What has the iTunes Match experience been once library is up in the cloud? Any concerns or dangers with this scheme? Anything I should be aware about?
My situation is simple. Not intending to share iTunes library with several computers, etc. That's why I signed up for Match in the first place. Only copying library to Dropbox as a backup. But need, no require, iTunes Match to continue working seamlessly for me.
Thank you for your feedback. Soon please.

Confirming that my disk space is mostly occupied by my music collection. And after spending $99 for extra Dropbox storage, I am not about to purchase additional disk capacity for my MacBook. How can I get out of this hole and is there a viable solution?
Can I confidently trash my iTunes folder, empty trash, connect my Time Capsule to my MacBook, launch/point iTunes to my most recent backup there, and then follow the steps given in
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
without deleting the iTunes library/media backup at the end, of course? In other words, copying directly from Time Capsule to my Dropbox. Is this doable? Desirable? Any dangers?
