HT204406 itunes match songs say waiting

I have recentlly put itunes match on my mac devices.  After several days of letting the songs upload, download, match, etc I notice that some of the songs are grayish color and the icloud status is waiting, for days.  Why does it say that and how can I get those songs on my devices?

Hi,
Try holding shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes then relaunch. Reactivate match. You will be asked to add this computer. Do so. Let match process complete.

  • HT204406 itunes match keeps saying error please sign in again

    when i try and open ituns match it says error please sign in, so i sihn out and sign back in andit tells me the same thing again. also on my iphone it says no itunes match subscripion, but i still have it till next year.

    One of the fixes someone else mentioned for this is to set itunes to ADMINISTRATOR privileges. 
    Once i did this, every time i log on to itunes i no longer run into the requirement to log in to icloud again. 

  • HT204406 iTunes Match songs appear uploaded but won't play on shared devices

    I have songs (ALAC, DRM free) purchased from Bandcamp that refuse to play or download on shared Match devices.  These play fine on my iTunes Match master computer in their original format, and appear to be uploaded/synced to iCloud.
    They are available on my other synced devices (iPhone, mac, windows PC) but whenever I try to play or download I get an error saying the song is not available for download.
    I've tried completeley deleting the music from the library and resyncing.  The songs are recognized by iCloud and added back to my library, but are still not able to play.  Because I know this isn't specific to the mobile device and rather to iCloud directly I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot it.
    My only thought would be that they need to be transcoded (the songs aren't available on the iTunes Store), but it has been weeks since they were initially uploaded, and even if I obtained the 320kbps MP3 files from Bandcamp they would still be transcoded to AAC for Match compatibility, so I'm not really sure how to proceed.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am experiencing this issue with iOS 8.1.2.

  • 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...

  • HT204406 iTune Match songs won't play

    I have iTunes Match. When I first bought the service, it worked great. I bought it so I could have access to all my music and not be limited by the space on my phone or iPad.  Lately, even though all my songs are listed on my device, they will not play. If there are several songs in a playlist or album it will scroll through the songs and not play any of them.  I am unable to use it as I need to and it is very frustrating.

    I too am having this problem. I have a first gen nano. Some downloaded songs will play fine, but my most recent purchases won't play on the IPOD... only from the computer. When attempting to play on the IPOD, it skips to the next song.

  • Can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. iPhone, iPad work fine.

    I can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. It gives an error stating that only one Apple ID can be used at a time with iTunes Match and asks me to wait 72 days until I can download any songs!? Tried to turn off iTunes Match in an attempt to reset it. And now I can't turn it back on. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I'm pretty sure the songs will need to be physically present on the computer you are syncing the Nano with, but I'm not 100% sure.
    Edit: I just attempted to sync music that I have stored in the iCloud, but not written on my harddrive to an iPod Classic and it only syncs the music that is present on the computer. I tried to grab a few iCloud file and throw it on the iPod, but I had to download them before it would work.
    So, yes. You do have to have the files already downloaded to sync to a non iOS 5 iDevice.

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do?  Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

  • How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

    How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
    Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

    When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
    Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

  • ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

    You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
    From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
    Authorize and Deauthorize
    Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
    You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • AppleTV home sharing, I can't see my itunes match songs

    I am using a new Apple TV. I set up home sharing, but I am unable to see my itunes match songs. I used my wifes itunes account for the apple TV. I am using my account for the home sharing. I have an itunes match account with a large library. I though that I would be able to use home sharing to access all of my songs. Now I'm having issues. Please help.

    Try Store > Update iTunes Match from iTunes' menu.

  • Undoing iTunes Match songs downloads on my iPhone?

    I have over 48,000 songs in iTunes Match.
    All of my songs showing on my iPad are in the iCloud. But some of my iTunes Match songs on my iPhone are downloaded onto my phone and I don't want them to be.
    How do I reverse them into just being in the iCloud?

    That approach works when I am loading new music.
    I have found it doesn't work for music that has been loaded much earlier in time. For those songs, the swiping my finger to the left approach doesn't work.
    I noticed recently that sometimes the songs that appear to be downloaded on my phone - that show no cloud by them - will subsequently show a cloud, which might mean that they actually aren't downloaded on my phone but something isn't working or efficient with iTunes Match.
    Has anyone had that happen to them? Are some of my issues potentially due to the number of songs I have on iTunes Match?
