HT204406 Errors on every song on iTune match

I recently got a message that I needed to log out of iTunes and log back in. When I did, I had to re-log in to iTunes match. Now every song on my library comes up as "error" in the iTunes status. Any ideas how I can remedy this? All my music is still up in iTunes cloud, but I get errors when it attempts to match. This is very frustrating, because I have moe music I want to put up in the cloud.

Thanks - but I thought the idea was to free up space on your device. Can I select which songs reside on phone and which ones to stream from iTunes match?
Hi,
Once iTunes match completes its scan of your iTunes library on your computer, all your music will be available to stream but you can select the tracks that you wish to download. With match turned on, you will no longer be able to sync with your manually with the computer as you did before subscribing to match,

  • Error messages on songs in itunes/match relating to files not found.

    I subscribe to itunes match. When highlighting certain songs in itunes where a cloud symbol has appeared next to them, I get the following message "the song................could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" If I press the locate button it takes me to windows file search screen, but if I cancel it finds the song and an arrow appears at the base of the cloud symbol. If I click this the whole cloud symbol eventually disappears and problem seems resolved. ie it plays when highlighted and can be dragged and dropped onto my ipod. On other songs the cloud symbol appears next to them but with an exclamation mark in it and "Error" in the icloud status column (Whereas "matched" appears next to the others). I get the same message as before and if I cancel the song is found. The difference is that when I click on the cloud symbol, I get the message "The item was not added to the iCloud as an error occurred", the exclamation mark reappears, "error" remains in the icloud status column and I have to go through the whole process again if I high light the song again. I cannot drag it onto my ipod.
    I manually manage my music and am preparing to revert to syncing. I have many playlists in itunes and looking through them there is a scattering of these cloud symbols throughout against random songs. The clear symbols I can alter as above (though it will take ages) but the ones with the - ! - mark in the cloud symbol next to them will not (I think) sync and go over to my ipod. I have in excess of 10,000 songs - 99.9% from my cd collection. Itunes match appears to have created havoc with them and it is frustrating not to be able to access songs that are originally mine.
    I hope this is clear and can anyone help please?

    First, you need to let the inital scan, match and upload process in iTunes complete before you enable the service on your iOS devices. This is the best practice. Once the initial scan is complete then all the music will be availabe on the iOS devices.
    Second, in Song view in iTunes enable the iCloud Status column so you can see how the service has classified all the music in your library. If successfully processed all the tracks shoud be either "purchased," "matched," or "uploaded." Any other status indicates a problem with that track that will need to be sorted out, and it won't be availble on the iOS devices.
    Third, be patient with the artwork. It can take some time for all the artwork to download to the iOS devices. It isn't instant. But eventually all the artwork will show up.

  • Error downloading songs on iTunes match

    Since downloading iOS 7 I'm getting errors preventing me from downloading songs from iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S. Can anyone help??

    Disable iTM on the iPhone, open the Music app and let the content clear out, then hold down the Power+Home buttons until you see the Apple logo. Re-enable iTunes Match.

  • HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc.  there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

    I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes).  Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

    I just found the answer by myself.  Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download.  Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine.  I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH.  To me, it was a disaster.  Worse than their map app.

  • HT204406 cannot upload song to itunes match, i cloud seems keep pending to upload

    Cannot upload song to itunes match, i-clould seems keep pending to upload

    Ragazzi anche io ho lo stesso problema.
    Ho attivato l'iTunes Match, che funziona correttamente sul pc e sull'iPhone 4S.
    L'ho attivato anche sul mio iPad, ma, tuttavia, dopo un breve periodo in cui ha funzionato correttamente, ha iniziato a dare problemi.
    Vi descrivo di seguito ciò che ho rilevato:
    - il periodo in cui l'iTunes Match ha funzionato correttamente sull'iPad è durato solo qualche settimana;
    - in seguito, anche se tutti i brani della Cloud venivano visualizzati sull'iPad, dava problemi nel senso che i brani non venivano riprodotti e, inoltre, la durata veniva indicata in "zero" per tutti i brani, sicchè, cliccandoci, non venivano riprodotti;
    - ho provato a disattivare e riattivare l'iTunes Match e, a questo punto il dispositivo ha dato il messaggio "tutta la tua libreria musicale verrà sostituita con quella su iTunes Match", mentre, nell'applicazione "MUSICA" erano spariti tutti i brani: veniva visualizzata, al centro della pagina, la nuovoletta del Cloud, con una barra di download sotto. Questo è durato per circa quattro giorni, senza che succedesse nulla, nel senso che la barra del download non mostrava segni di caricamento;
    - allora ho provato a ripristanare le impostazioni e, a questo punto, erano visualizzati di nuovo i brani, ma comunque senza possibilità di riprodurli (la durata di nuovo indicata come "zero");
    - nel momento in cui ho provato a cliccare su uno dei brani, è riapparsa la nuvoletta del Cloud con la barra di download sotto;
    - quando i brani ricompaiono, hanno sempre durata zero e non vengono riprodotti;
    - ho attivato anche la condivisione in famiglia ma il problema non cambia.
    Vi preciso che il mio iPad è della prima generazione ed è aggiornato all'IOS 6.

  • Can't download certain songs from iTunes match

    Last night I extacted a full album from a CD to my PC laptop via iTunes.
    All track names were detected by gracenote and all 12 songs were exacted and showing up in iTunes except the artwork was missing for some reason?
    I upload all 12 songs to iTunes match.
    Today, on my desktop, I turned on iTunes match and I can see the album and all 12 songs.
    There is a download button next to each track and I attempted to download all 12 songs.  Most of them downloaded except 4 songs for some reason?
    The download button is NOT greyed out, it's black, but when I click on it iTunes does nothing.  The songs were not downloaded from iTunes match and I have no idea why?  No error message....it just doesnt want to download those 4 songs.
    Troubleshooting: 
    -Turned off itunes match.  Restarted iTunes and turned iTunes Match back on.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    -Signed out of my Apple account and singed back on.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    -Deauthorized computer, re-authorized computer, updated iTunes match.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    I don't get it?  Why would some of the tracks download but not all of them when the entire track list is present.  12/12 songs are showing up but iTunes Match would only let me download 8/12 songs. 

    Also, I am running iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Pro x64 for both my laptop and desktop.

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).

    Hey imol92,
    You may have already looked at this; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
    It is all the public information on removing songs that you have uploaded to the iTunes Cloud.

  • I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).

  • How can I rematch a song?  iTunes Match keeps matches my music to clean versions.

    I've noticed that within albums that I've bought on Amazon and imported into iTunes Match, the service will match single tracks or entire albums to the clean version.
    Is there a way to remove a song from iTunes Match, then re-match it or tag it so it can re-match it to the explicit version?

    I would send a list of specific tracks that have had the problem.

  • Downloading a missing song with iTunes Match

    On my second computer I had downloaded a song and it was deleted. iTunes now displays the missing file question mark. There is no option to download or play the song from iTunes Match. My assumption, is that if I delete the track it will delete from Match also. Is that correct? and also is there a way to download the song without rebuilding my iTunes library file ?

    If you delete it, it will ask you if you want to delete from Match, select no. After that you will be able to redownload from the cloud hitting the cloud icon (if it was matched/uploaded to cloud in the first place).

  • 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.

  • HT4914 can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection

    can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

    Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

  • I am trying to make a ringtone from my itunes on iphone 5 and ios7.  It says "this song cannot be used as a ringtone" on every song in itunes.  Any ideas?

    Hey csumner1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
    Resolution
    Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
              - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
              - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
              - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
              - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
              - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    6. Restore using iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
