HT204074 I Tunes Match on multiple devices...

I have three devices (Iphone 4S, Ipod touch and Mac Book Pro) - My child uses the i pod touch. I have I Tunes Match. I would like to add or remove songs etc. from the Ipod touch manually. How can I access my I tunes library without using Itunes match on this device? Thanks!

Hey 111122223333,
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device. So if you have Match enabled on your child's iPod Touch, you'll want to disable it in order to manage its music using iTunes and your computer.
To disable iTunes match on your child's iPod, go to Settings > Music and make sure the iTunes Match switch is set to Off.

Then, to sync using your computer's iTunes libraary, you'll want to follow these directions:

HT204406 I enabled iTunes Match on multiple devices. When I change certain playlists they update fine on the other devices, but i have a playlist on my macbook pro that cannot be seen on my other devices. How do I correct this?

I just enabled iTunes Match on multiple devices in my house. At first, almost all the playlists were duplicated. I manually deleted the playlists back to one entry per playlist...a real pain. I could see changes made on one device updating on the other devices for almost all my playlists...which told me things were working correctly. But....There are a couple of playlists on my Macbook Pro that won't update to my other devices, like my desktop. What gives?

You can sign in on multiple devices to use iTunes Match but it must be with the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase the service. You will need to sign out of the existing ID on the devcies and sign in with the new one.

ITunes match across multiple devices?

Is it possible to use iTunes match across multiple devices? My wife and I use the same computer when at home and we have music stored on that computer. She had her own Apple id to use with her own iPhone, as do I. We don't want to have multiple music libraries since we liste to most of the same music. Is it possible to have iTunes match between 2 iPhones that are using different Apple id's but the same iTunes account?
Thanks

When I try to go to iTunes music match on her phone it asks me to sign into match, which I am assuming is the same as her Apple ID name and password. This is a different name and password than my account. So, it seems that she cannot access my "cloud" from her phone in order to download music that I have purchased. I guess since she has her own iClud account, she needs to sign up for iTunes match through that account and pay the fee. I was hoping we could access the same 'Cloud" to have the same library of music? Hope that made sense.
Thanks for the help.

ITunes Match on multiple devices at home?

Hi,
At home we have 3 iPhones and 2 iPads.
On one of them I subscribed to iTunes Match for $25 a year. I thought on all my other devices I would just be able to turn on iTunes match under that one payment of $25, but when I try it says I'm not subscribed.
All the iPhones and iPads share the same apple ID, except in "iTunes & App Store" the apple id is slightly different. I tried to change my phone that says I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match to the same "iTunes & App Store" ID as the one that has iTunes Match....but when I do it says that apple ID is already in use and won't let me save it on my second devise.
Can I pay the one fee and it applies to all my devices (if so any troubleshooting tips to fix), or is it $25 per device?
Thanks
Dave

Sharing iTunes Match across multiple devices

Hi All,
I have done some searching but I can’t find the answer to my question(s).
Current setup:
I have 1 PC and 2 Macbooks (my PC and my children have a Macbook each). Each PC/Mac has its own iTunes Library which is linked by my homeshare account. We share most of the music we buy across our libraries via homeshare
We also have 3 iPhone 4’s mine and the children’s. Each iPhone 4 is linked to its own iTunes library on the respective devices and we have 3 separate iTunes accounts.
I have just signed up for iTunes music Match on my PC/iTunes Account and want to know what the deal is regarding setting up my kids iPhones so that they are also linked to my Music Match account and how that can be done. I also want them to be able keep their own iTunes account so that they can still buy music and apps and download them to their phone and synch to their Macbook iTunes libraries.
Is this possible?
In summary - I don’t want to pay for 3 iTunes Match accounts but want my kids to be able to take advantage (synch to thier iPhones) of the music that is now in the cloud via my music match account whilst keeping their own iTunes accounts.
Hope this is clear and that someone can help…
Cheers

what makes it tricky is the individual itunes accounts for apps.
regarding music, my recommendation is to put each computer on the same itunes account (keep the files, but link the computers to the same account) when you activate match on each computer, the software will add the files from each respective computer and will create a master library (each computer will be able to see ALL files from all three computers. Then, I would put each iphone on the same itunes account (everyone share the same account).
as for apps:
I'm thinking I am reading right that the three iphones are linked to separate computers. I am pretty sure that an itunes account on a laptop or desktop can be "authorized" by multiple accounts. One beauty of itunes 10.5 is the ability to sync an iphone on one computer for "photos" and use the same iphone to sync to another computer for "apps" and another computer for "podcasts" etc (if anyone had any use for doing such a thing). What I believe this would allow someone in your situation to do, is to essentially be able to log each child's iphone into one itunes account for itunes match, but then use each individual computer to still sync the children's different app accounts. One child can sync to one computer for their apps and another child to another computer for their apps, etc. The difference, however, is i'm pretty sure there is no getting around what to do about future bought apps. they might all have to be bought on one account. If that is truely the case, you may not be able to do separate itunes accounts. In such a scenario, i would add everything to the itunes account that has the most apps, and begin shareing apps among them in order to share itunes match

HT4914 Can you use iTunes Match on multiple devices with different apple id's ?

I have multiple phones with the same iTunes ID but they have different apple ID , will the iTunes Match work with all my devices ?

I've got the latest version of iTunes & it's supposed to be able to be enabled under top panel "store" then appear down left side panel to subscribe. Which makes me think that it musn't be able to be used if you're running XP as it's not there....

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

Using iTunes Match on multiple devices

I have iTunes Match but can't see TV shows on my Macbook Air. They are on my iPad and iPhone but not on the Macbook. Can anyone help?

I don't know what you read, but iTune Match is only for music and nothing else. There is another service Apple also offers called iTunes in the Cloud which is not the same thing but allows you to re-download past purchases from the iTunes Store.
To view your iTunes in the Cloud purchases open iTunes Prefs > Store and select "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases." This is not iTunes Match.

I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

HT4914 If I use I tunes match and have all my music on the cloud, will I be able to listen to it, meaning will it be on my device when I am without a cell or wifi signal....like on a plane or in an area without service?

If I choose to use I tunes match, and store my music on the cloud, will I be able to access it when I don't have a cell signal or wifi? For example, when I'm on a plane or in an area without a cell signal or wifi. And, if its just cellular coverage, will it count as "data" against my limit?

Yes, it would count against your data. The transfer part is part of your cellular coverage, whether it be from Apple's iCloud or a totally unrelated feed.
iTunes match - http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ - see FAQ at end too
"Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs."
So, from the above, if you are sitting in an airplane and suddenly decide you want to listen to a song that has not downloaded to your device then you will have to wait until you can use your service again (or pay the airline to use their wireless).

One computer, one iTunes account, multiple devices and iCloud accounts, help!

We have a family MacBook and have always held a single iTunes account. We have multiple devices (iTunes Match has proved to be very useful). We have 2 x iCloud accounts. This causes an issue in terms of synchronisation. Is it possible to synch calendars and photos? As mentioned, the music is no longer an issue with iTunes match. Is there a way that we can synch calendars and photos without having to use a single iCloud account? In addition, the only reason we have separate iCloud accounts is for email. Can I keep my mobile.me email without an iCloud account?

I personally would recommend to use different iCloud account for your own stuff like email, calendars, reminders etc. If you want to have a calendar for your family then just share it via your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Yes, you could keep you me,com email address but it should be migrated to icloud because MobileMe was shut down.

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.
