HT204406 iTunes Match full..can't access songs on my PC now to edit some out..help!!!!

I was excited to have my iTunes Match...loaded my songs on there via my PC.. Life was great...UNTIL..I exceeded the limit of songs allowed..now I can't get into my iTunes Match to edit out songs to get back in control of my matched songs...HELP!!!!!!!

"the songs appear on the my itunes folder w/ my ipod but they are ghosted and not accessible..."
Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to update automatically (sync). If you want to access the iPod directly, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos. If you want to manage it manually then connect your iPod and click on the iPod icon in the iTunes source list to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. In the Summary tab check the box "manually manage music and videos" and click Apply:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod

HT204406 itunes match sometimes don't play songs

hi,

someone can tell me how to solve this problem?
thanks

HT204406 iTunes Match has deleted thousands of songs from a media server

I just just bought iTunes Match and begun to use it on my Mac Book Pro, mac Mini, iPhone and i Pads.
I had different tracks on each device.
The MacMini is used as a media server + had 000's of tracks installed (ripped from CD's) which were not on each my Mac Book Pro and other devices due to HD / space limitations.
When iTunes Match was added on the Mac Mini all ripped CD tracks disappeared (thousands) and only the tracks purchased from iTunes Store appear.
have tried turning off iTunes Match on the Mac Mini but the tracks are still missing.
Any advice on how to recover the tracks? (without having to do a recovery from Time Machine as it is not up to date).

I think its something related to the iTunes/Apple passwords stored in Keychain Access.
Ive had iTunes Match since it first came out way back when (in 2011 I think?). I had this issue up until a few months ago on two of my Macs when all of a sudden the problems disappeared.
Then yesterday I decided to go through the Keychains on one of my macs and because I am OCD i started deleted saved passwords/logins/etc that I thought I didnt use anymore. I deleted so many logins, local items, system items, and system roots....
I have now gotten this error message three times on this mac.
I dont know which type of stored login or system item I deleted that would cause this. But based on cause and effect Im pretty positive this narrows down where to look for a solution.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

I bought Itunes match, when can I delete the songs from my Ipad? It's memory is full and I bought Itunes match in order to free some memory space

I bought Itunes match, when can I delete the songs from my Ipad? It's memory is full and I bought Itunes match in order to free some memory space. I already activate the itunes match in the Ipad, but it still keeps the songs. Can I erase them?
Thanks,

Hi,
Go to settings > general > usage > storage and select music. You will see how much space is being used. Swipe to delete.
This will clear cache. Streaming uses up storage space. If you have specifically downloaded tracks you can delete them individually. Will still appear on your ipad but with the download icon.

HT204406 iTunes match songs will not play on any device.. please help me..

Hey,
just got iTunes match, set it up to the best of my knowledge.
-Bought it
-Matched and uploaded all of my music
-the 'iTunes match' tab isn't under 'Store' anymore
-music icons show up on iPhone 4 and New iPad
The thing is, when I select a song the song opens, album art and all stays on 0:00 then closes again as if it has finished playing.
I tried deleting a song in itunes then download it from iCloud but an error occurs. I deleted completely then added it to the library to see if i could get it to work.. Not working.
Music from iCloud will not play on any of my Apple things including iTunes.. Can someone from Apple or a smart person from the community please help me out.
If someone works at the Apple store in 'Chermside, Brisbane Australia' and wants to meet me to see if they can help that way I can do that too..
Thank you!

Same here...

ITunes Match: How can I tell if a matched song is from the correct album?

Since iTunes Match uses my album art and metadata, is there a way to see the album art of the matched item from iTunes?
I have ripped hundreds of classical music CDs through the years into iTunes, and they all have album art (not from iTunes Match).   Now that I have signed up for iTunes Match, how can I confirm that a matched item from iTunes is from the correct album?
I have read that the matching algorithm isn't perfect and can match to the wrong item.   I have recently upgraded the quality of all my ripped music by downloading all the matches from iTunes Match, and replacing my local CD rips (I have backups).
So, if I ripped Beethoven's 9th by Herbert Von Karajan, is there a way to see the album art of the matched music from iTunes, so that I can confirm it didn't match the item to Beethoven's 9th by Bruno Walter?
Does the matching algorithm use song length/duration, or is it only using wave form sampling?
Thanks!
Paul

Thanks for the help Jim.
I'm not having any troubles with artwork changing, but I wish I were, because if the artwork changed then that would allow me to detect if the correct tracks are being matched.
I'm worried about waveform matching with classical music because I can have 2 pianists or 2 orchestras that play the same piece so it seems that the waveforms would be very similiar.   I have many CDs of the same pieces of music but by different performers. For example, both performers play on a piano and both play the same piece of music. Wouldn't the waveforms be very similar?
So that's why I'm wondering if there is some way to get the artwork of the piece being matched, so that I can see what album it is coming from.
Do you think if I deleted my artwork and then matched, that I'd get the artwork injected into my matched music?
Thanks again for entertaining all my questions. Really appreciate it.

After implementing iTunes Match I can't make updates or watch my movies bc of error message "you do not have write access".

After purchasing and implementing iTunes match I can't watch a bunch of my movies and I can't update my apps because of an error message stating that I do not have "write access" or another error message stating that I don't have correct permissions. I have checked that I have both read and write permissions on literally every single folder on my computer. I quadruple-checked actually.
From looking through forums it seems a lot of people are having this problem with the only suggestion being to fix permissions. Anyone have any other suggestions? I just want to be able to watch the movies I paid for!!

Could you give us a little more information? Where are your movies stored? On your iMac? How are you trying to watch them, through iTunes? Have you tried to watch them with Match turned off?
Just to be clear, iTunes Match does not accept movies for uploading, only music files. It will give you access to music videos you've purchased through iTunes though.

HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
Peace Out.

I can't access my itunes music on my laptop after having it re-imaged. I installed itunes again but can't access the music folder. I get the following message when I click to open itunes: "The folder itunes cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is the Music folder.
I have an iPad2, and iPad mini, and an iPhone5 with a different number of songs on each. I want to sync everything -- should have close to 800 songs. Tried to get support from Apple but would be charged for help.

I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

ITunes Match doesn't upload any songs.

I've got a problem with iTunes match on iTunes 11 on my MacBook Pro 10.8.2. At Step 3, iTunes Match doesn't upload any songs! It stops and starts again with Step 1. At the end, I've error 4002. Turn on/off Genius/iTunes Match didn't worked ! I need help

Power-cycle your internet modem and the router (if you have one). Otherwise just let it keep running. There's really nothing else you can do.

HT204406 Itunes Match process became cyclic every minute.

I already finished to upload all my music with itunes match, but itunes match begin all the update songs process every minute (all 3 steps), if I am buying something in the store or browsing my musoc, itunes match interrupts and send me to the itunes match page. I can stop the process and everything stops, but I assume that that is not right, I assume that the process can run indefinitly in a "silent mode" or something.
Thanks

Kevin, it appears for me this was indeed an ISP issue. I was experiencing this problem using when i was connected to my home network which uses roadrunner. After reading your comment, i decided to try connecting to verizon LTE by tethering my iphone, and all of the songs uploaded successfully.

How do I tell iTunes Match NOT to upload a song / audio file?

I produce music in Logic Pro and later play in iTunes for additional listening and testing. How do I tell iTunes Match NOT TO UPLOAD certain songs or audio files? I have to continously delete files from the cloud.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
It's all or nothing with iTunes Match. If the track is a valid format it either matches or uploads.
Do you want to keep the tracks in itunes? If so, I suggest that you create a second blank library then turn on match. This will show all your tracks in the cloud. If a track uploads, you can delete it from the cloud using this new library. When you revert to your original library, the track will still be present but the iCloud status will now be "removed" instead of "uploaded". You can see iCloud status in song view by going to menu > view > view options and tick box. Match will now ignore this track when scanning your library.
