HT204406 I have some songs that are in Itunes Match limbo what can I do to fix it?

I am going to try not to get too wordy here, but bear with me:
I had an album which I bought from another website because itunes didnt have the artist in the itunes store. The files I received from this purchase were ALAC, about half the songs were uploaded to itunes match, while the other half were stuck on "waiting". After telling itunes to update itunes match several times via the menu I got frustrated that it wasn't uploading the "waiting" tracks, so I proceded onto a tactic I have had success with in the past. I created AAC versions of the song (I used Itunes to do this) and then removed the ALAC files from my itunes library. I then disabled itunes match and subsequently reenabled it. It now says the AAC copies cant be uploaded because they are marked as duplicates, however if I get on a device like my ipad I can't download these tracks because they have never actually been uploaded. I am unsure why itunes considers them duplicates when no other copies currently exist in itunes, or in the cloud. Does anyone know how to clear this up?

update:
I dont know what I did specifically that worked, but I kept deleting the items from my library, and re-adding them and updating itunes match, etc... and at one point after updating itunes match instead of the duplicate Icon they showed a cloud with an x indicating they had been removed from itunes match. I right clicked on them at this point and clicked add to icloud at which point they were uploaded to itunes match and are now visible from other devices.

  • I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync.  I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync.  What's the problem?

    I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's.  I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found,  put it into My Music then back into iTunes.  WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far.  NOT HAPPY.

    I have some applications that haven't finished updating and I can't open nor delete them?

    Get your iPhone to update only one app at a time as follows:
    Click each application that is updating to get it to a "Paused" state.  Once they are all paused, then do this for one application at a time:
    Click it until is says "Updating".  Let it finish updating and installing.  Then repeat for the next application.

    You'll need to copy the content on your iPod back to your iTunes library first.  Once you have successfully done that you can safely erase and sync your iPod.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • HT204406 I have a song that is in the following format: 256 kbps, 48 kb in size, and an AAC file format. Why would is it noted in imatch as ineligible?

    I have a song that is in the following format: 256 kbps, 48 kb in size, and an AAC file format. Why  is it tagged in imatch as ineligible?

    I ended up reformating the drive as FAT32 because I still need to use it on my Windows 98SE system also. I did have a problem with the allocation size. I wanted to use 512 bytes but it kept failing so I used the default size(8192 bytes) and then it worked fine. I didn't think there would be a problem formatting as NTFS but since you are having problems I just tried it. It failed at 512 bytes allocation size so I tried again using 4096 bytes, the default, as the allocation size and it failed again. It looks like these drives will not format as NTFS.
    Also, I think I figured out what's going on with the ReadyBoost problem. As I said initially it wouldn't work with ReadyBoost then after I had 12GB of data on the drive the ReadyBoost feature started working. After I deleted all the files it quit working again. After doing some reading on the net about Flash drives and ReadyBoost problems it appears that the memory chips on my Lenovo Flash drive are mixed with both fast memory chips that work fine with ReadyBoost and slower memory  chips that are too slow for ReadyBoost. Apparently, after I fill up the portion of memory with data that uses the slow chip(s) then ReadyBoost works fine with the fast chip(s).  I also verified the Flash drives read and write memory speeds using Vista's Event Viewer. To work with ReadyBoost the Flash drive has to read at a minimum of 2.5MB/s (for 4KB random reads) and write at a minimum of  1.75MB/s (for 512KB random writes).
    Let me know what you find out.

    if the contents are purchases from the iTunes store then you can transfer the purchases from the ipad and put them onto the computer
    go to:

  • Help! The App Store was telling me to update my apps so I did an 'update all'. Half way through they stopped and now I have some apps that are greyed out and I cants open them or delete them. What do I do?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey Pagevc86,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you might have some apps that seem to be stuck on "Waiting." The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

  • Since installing 10.7.3 my downloads say that I do not have enough space on my computer for the download. These downloads are never more that 200 megs or so and I have 270 Gigs left on my hard drive. What can I do to fix this?

    Since installing 10.7.3 my downloads say that I do not have enough space on my computer for the download. These downloads are never more that 200 megs or so and I have 270 gigs left on my hard drive. Somehow the remaining space on my hard drive is not being correctly read. What can I do to fix this? I have run permissions repair several times, but to no avail.

    Th downloads do not finish. I am dowloading to a file on my desktop called MUSIC, but it first starts to download to my desktop and then I move it to the MUSIC file also on my desktop and I have been doing this without incident using 10.7.2 as well as 10.7.1 and 10.7.

  • HT204053 My wife and I are using the same apple ID. since last week, i am required to pay twice for the same app on our 2 devices (even though we are using the same ID). what can I do to fix this?

    My wife and I are using the same apple ID. Up until last week we used to buy an app and pay for it only once, but use it on both devices.
    since last week, the app store asks me to pay again for an app i already paid for on one device. On both devices automatic downloads (in settings) is and was always turned off.
    what can I do to fix this?

    Actually no. After installing an app on one device, I used to see an "install" button on the second device (since it's already been paid for). Now i get the full price button on the second device. I didn't want to proceed with the purchase because i didn't want to be billed twice.

  • How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

    Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
    I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
    On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes.  I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them.  BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory......  Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.
