HT204406 How do I upload a song to iCloud that it thinks is a duplicate, but it's not?

I have songs that are different in time and name, but iCloud thinks it is a duplicate. I want all my music on the cloud. How can I distinguish the song so that it thinks it isn't a duplicate?

I have answered my own question. The music that showed "duplicate," in one instance, wasn't purchased from iTunes. In this case I went into Get Information for each individual cut and checked the box indicating that the music was part of a compllation, which it was. Once I did that, Match accepted the upload for each song.
Regarding the "duplicate" that I had purchased from iTunes, I went into my Music, found the song, saw that Match had matched it with the same song and put a duplicate song in my list. I swapped the matched version for my original download, I'm assuming, and popped it into my playlist again. The playlist is now matched.
I hope this helps someone else.

  • HT204406 How do I upload recently purchased songs from iTunes store to iCloud (iTunes Match)

    I purchased an entire album and is in my music library but I can't uderstand why the step to upload the songs into iCloud is not available to me. When I "Get Info" on the songs, it shows that they are on my HD, whereas the rest of the library is in iCloud.

    It does now.
    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

    How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
    I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded.  I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
    What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
    You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
    I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
    I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
    Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
    Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
    If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
    Hope that clarifies a bit.

  • How do i delete a song from iCloud without having to subscribe to it?

    How do I delete a song from icloud without having to subscribe to it? I've deleted the song from my iphone and my computer, but it is still in icloud, but I can not delete it. It keeps on wanting me to subscribe to icloud. Which it is not fair or right for me to have to pay to delete something. Would anyone please help me? I am using windows 7 home premium 64bit Operating system. The song is stil showing on my iphone, but i need to delete it from icloud for it to not show on my iphone.

    Hi,
    If the song has been purchased from itunes store, you cannot delete the song from the cloud but you can hide it. - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
    You do not need to subscribe itunes match which is a different product from itunes in the Cloud.

    how can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    Here's how:
    If you are using Windows, make sure you are able to view the file extension.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219
    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences...(Windows do Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.

    how do I delete a song in iCloud from my iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't have any songs in iCloud to delete, are you referring to your purchase history, you can't delete from there either, you can't change history. You can hide them though, swipe and tap hide.
