How to see which file iTunes Match is processing

For those willing to troubleshoot problems in Itunes Match  here it is step by step
Lauch "Activity Monitor"
Now search for the Itunes process
Now choose Inspector
A dialog is displayed, choose Files and Open Ports
Scroll down until you see a MP3 or AAC file...
Leave this dialog open, and you see what Itunes Match is processing and the progress.
Each music file will take a few seconds to process

Now the complicated and definitive version (tested under Lion):
Open Terminal
In the shell execute the following
cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/
gdb iTunes
After gdb is launched, execute this in gdb:
br ptrace
run
set $rdi=11
continue
iTunes is now launched
Open activity Monitor
Search for iTunes
Find the process id (PID) In my screenshot it's numbered as 407
Open another Terminal Window
Run:
sudo su -
It prompts for the password, enter it.
Run:
opensnoop -p <PID>
example: opensnoop -p 407
Now all the files that iTunes open will scroll through this screen. It's very verbose

  • How to see which files are open on shares

    Im fairly new to OS X Server. Am running OS X Server 10.6.8
    How can i see files that are open through AFP or SMB? I've tried the command lsof but that doesnt seem to show open files through network.

    Try smbstatus.
    To pin down exactly which files are locked for use, try:
    smbstatus | grep -i deny_write
    For AFP, I'm not sure exactly how it's done -- there isn't an afpstatus command, so I'm a bit in the dark. However, you could probably use a combination of lsof and grep to find any objects of type REG and owned by applefile.
    Maybe this:
    sudo lsof | grep -i "^applefile" | grep REG
    But that will return everything in use by the AppleFile service. From there, though, one may need to be familiar with what shares are on the system to further deduce what's open. For example, I get 10 lines returned, but only one of them contains a known share name (/Users/username/path/to/file), the rest are system directories (/System, /private, /usr, /Library and the like).
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • How do I move my iTunes Match subscription to another country

    I subscribed to iTunes Match 2 years ago, when I lived in Australia, and have renewed it again recently. Part of this process was to match 25,000 music tracks which took weeks to complete. It also chewed through a huge amount of bandwidth.
    I have now moved across the Tasman to New Zealand and have a new username and password for the NZ store. However, my iTunes Match tracks are only available under my old Australian iTunes account.
    How can I move my iTunes Match subscription from Australia to New Zealand without having to upload/match all of my library again? Or have to pay another annual subscription?
    Hoping someone can help me!

  • In SQL Trace how to see which statement getting more time .

    Hi Expart,
    In SQL Trace (T-code ST05) . I am running the standard transaction . how to see which statement
    running more time and less time . suppose one statement running more time so how resolve the
    performance .
    Plz. reply me
    Regards
    Razz

    > The ones in 'RED' color are the statement which are taking a lot of time and you need to
    > optimise the same.
    No, that is incorrect, the red ones show only the ones which need several hundret milliseconds in one execution. This can even be correct for hard tasks. And there are lots of problem, which you will not see
    I have said everything here:
    SQL trace:
    /people/siegfried.boes/blog/2007/09/05/the-sql-trace-st05-150-quick-and-easy
    Go to 'Tracelist' -> Summarize by SQL statements', this is the view which you want to see!
    I summarizes all executions of the same statement.
    There are even the checks explained, the slow ones are the one which need a lot of time per record!
    See MinTime/Rec > 10.000 microseconds.
    Check all number of records, executions, buffer, identicals.
    The SE30 Tipps and Tricks will not help much.

  • I am using Outlook 2010 and have a iphone 4s.  In Outlook I have issues with my contacts not being the same as what I have corrected them to be.  Is there a way to check and see which file Outlook is sharing with I-cloud?

    I am using Outlook 2010 and I also use a Iphone 4s. I use Outlook to correct all my contacts and them it sync with my phone BUT I get different variations of the contacts.  Almost as if there is another file it is going to.  Can I check to see which file it is reading from??

  • How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

    How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
    Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

    When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
    Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

  • How to properly set up iTunes Match on multiple devices

    Hi,
    I've just purchased iTunes Match and I would like to set it up to all devices in my apartment. I've read that you can set it up up to 10 devices.
    My situation:
    I have MacBook Pro, iPhone 4 and iPad with my Apple ID.
    My wife has her MacBook Pro and iPhone 3GS with her Apple ID.
    My Macbook is authorised with her account and her MacBook is athorised with my account, so we can copy music from each other.
    We have almost the same music library, just with few differencies (I have more heavy music and she has bit more soft music).
    I've purchased the iTunes Match on my MacBook. How could I turn the iTunes Match on her MacBook and iPhone?
    Thanks a lot for any advice or link

  • HT4914 I do not own a computer. I have an iPad. How can I subscribe to iTunes Match as ALL my music is stored on my iPad.

    I do not own a computer. I bought an iPad. ALL my music is stored on it. How can I subscribe to iTunes Match?

    If you are in the US then your iTunes purchased music should be in the cloud for redownloading in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - but music can be removed from the store at any point by the record companies (and similarly for other content types as well), so you shouldn't rely on being able to redownload it in the future.
    Do you have access to a computer e.g. a friend or family member that you could use ?
