How do you permanently turn off iTunes match?

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7. I'm very excited and happy with the update. Everything looks very nice and is much more intuitive than before. However, I am having one slight problem. I can't turn off iTunes match.
iTunes match is not something I like to use on my phone. I've always found it to be a little annoying and it tends to get in the way of my music listening experience. Once the update was complete, I opened up settings, went to music, and deselected iTunes match. However, it's not staying unselected. Everytime I look back into the music options it's turned on again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've been having the same problem for about a week now and it's driving me crazy. I've changed passwords in everything to reflect the new protocols (that nobody informed us about, I might add) of having at least one capital, etc. etc., but that hasn't changed anything. I do have one song pending download that WON'T download because the file at iTunes is apparently corrupt, and I can't seem to simply eliminate this one song from the queue. HELP!!!!

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.

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"

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.

Perminently Turn Off iTunes Match in iTunes 12.0.1

I cannot sync music with any of my iOS 8 devices since my iTunes Match subscription ran out. (I purposely let it lapse due to it sucking so bad!) So now I cannot sync purchased music that is in my iTunes library with any devices because it says 'iTunes Match is turned on'. How do I permanently turn it OFF?
Mid-2009 MBP running OS-X 10.10, iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.
Thanks, John

I cant turn off itunes match on my iphone

i recently reset my iphone to factory settings. Everything seems to be set up correctly but when I try to sync music from Itunes to my Iphone it tells me Itunes match is on. On Itunes itself it says match is off. On my phone it says its on and when I toggle it off it goes right back on. Is there a way to disable itunes match altogether...it stinks.

Turn off iTunes match

Every time i start iTunes, it attempts to match my songs with iCloud. I have over 10,000 songs in my library. This takes about 10 minutes, during which time, nothing else can be done in iTunes. How do I turn this off so it is only done manually, not automatically?

go to the store tab on itunes. Not the actual store but the tab at the top of the screen that says store and press the turn off itunes match.
Step 3 takes a while if you have a lot of uploads and a slow connection.
basically it takes a while if you have a lot of uploads and a fast connection.
If you'll leave it running and just walk away from it and let it do its thing it will finally get done.
Just be patient. It's not as fast as we all expected, especially with all the people uploading to it at the same time.

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.

How do I permanently turn off fullscreen view in safari?

How do I permanently turn off fullscreen view in Safari? I never want my menubar to autohide and it has been doing so since the last update. Once I click on the little blue arrows at the top right of the screen, it is temporarily fixed but then resets to fullscreen when I re-open Safari.

Thaty is quite odd behavior as I have never seen that happen
in any Safari version since full screen was added to OSX.
It almost sounds as if the preference file for Safari may be
corrupted or some other setting file. However, before messing
with that, export your bookmarks (File->Export Bookmarks...)
so you can retrieve them and under the Safari menu, select reset
Safari. If this doesn't resolve things, and since you saved your
bookmarks, in Finder hold down Option key and on the Go menu
select library. In the Preferences folder, find:
com.apple.Safari.plist
and move it to Desktop or trash it. Next time Safari opens it
will recreate the file and see if this fixes the issue.

No option to turn off iTunes Match in IOS?!

I used iTunes Match for a while and decided now to renew my subscription, so I let it expire.
On my computer I have managed to turn off iTunes Match, but when I go to Settings>Music or Settings>iTunes on my iphone, there is no option to turn off iTunes Match! There is only an option to renew.
This is frustrating as ****, I can't load any new music onto my phone because iTunes Match is still 'on'.
I've tried singing out of my iTunes account, turning off my phone, and turning it back on, but nothing has worked.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Does anyone have any fixes?

Thanks. I thought I might as well mention one last thing here, in case anyone else has the same issue.
Even after I erased and restored my iPhone from the cloud backup, there was an issue. All of the songs I previously had on my iPhone (that were erased when I restored) became 'ghost files' and didn't show up in the music app. They did, however, show up in the iPhone when it was plugged into iTunes. They showed up in the iPhone music section of my iTunes, greyed out, with a little dotted circle to the left of each song. I couldn't delete them; when I did, if I unplugged my iPhone and plugged it back in to my computer the files reappeared 'greyed out' in my iPhone music.
I found the fix here (credit to Jerrill): https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5369825?tstart=0
I'll quote it here for ease:
"I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items."
So, basically, if anyone encounters the glitch in the OP, do the following:
Back up your phone to iCloud.
Erase all settings on your iPhone.
Restore from iCloud backup.
Download a file explorer program (I used iFunbox as per Jerrill's instructions).
Delete ALL files from the 'Purchases' folder on the iPhone's 'Raw File System'.
Reset your iPhone by holding the power and home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Plug your iPhone into iTunes, and select 'Sync Music' then check 'Sync selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'. Uncheck ALL the boxes (don't sync any music to your iPhone).
Sync.
Unplug your iPhone and reset it again by holding the power and home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Plug your iPhone back into your computer and the ghost files should be gone.
I then unchecked 'Sync Music' then checked 'Manually manage music and videos' because I like having more control.
Now to repeat the process with my iPad... iTunes Match, never again.
