Sharing iTunes match with a friend

How do I allow my buddy who shares my music with me to use the same itunes match library without him having to have my icloud information on his phone?
I would like for his iphone to be able to access the itunes match library withouth me having to make his phone sync with my other icloud information.
is this possible?

Hi arteson,
This is a problem that Apple is not addressing. There are several discussion threads on this. My sharing, like yours, worked perfectly with Itunes 6 and stopped as soon as I upgraded to 7. Version 7.0.1 does not fix the problem. I have turned off the Windows firewall on both machines and still get that error message. For some reason, we are not on Apple's radar. Here are a few threads on this topic:

HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match. i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain. is this going to screw my wifes account up?

If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

Is it possible to share my iTunes Match with another person?

My partner uses his own Ipad with his own Apple ID. He doesn't have a lot of songs in his iTunes, so I was wondering if there was an easy way for him to use my iTunes Match on his Ipad...
Thank you!

HT4914 Can you share music from iTunes match with/thru Family Share?

Would like to share music not purchased thru iTunes with members setup in Family Share. Is iTunes Match the way to accomplish this?

Hi
You can't use iTunes match with family sharing.

Sharing iTunes Match

Can I share iTunes Match with my family and friends?

That depends on how you're using the word "sharing." The iTunes Match service is designed to be a single-user service. It is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. So for other people to be able to use your iTunes Match on their devices they must be signed into the iTunes Store with your account ID credentials. This means they will have full access to your account, your purchase history, and will be able to make purchases on your account.
You may want to familiarize yourself with the iTunes Store TOS: <http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE>.

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

No, sharing match is not included in the family share. The only way is to use the same Apple id on all devices but this may present problems if your family members have their own Apple id.

HT2204 What is the best way to use iTunes Match with two Apple ID's that have purchased content?

Hello.
In my early years of using iOS devices i have unwittingly made the mistake of creating a second Apple ID for my second device. So now i have two Apple ID's with purchased content associated with them.
I have turned on iTunes Match with the account that has the bulk of my music linked to it. But my second account has maybe 150-200 songs (and lots of apps) that i really like and don't want to loose. Activating iTunes Match for the main account wiped these 150-200 songs off my iOS devices and replace them. Is it possible to have content from both my apple id's on my devices at the same time? Is it possible to combine the content from both of my accounts?

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.

HT4859 I shared itunes account with my daughter, had never synced my phone with computer, synced with computer and chose daughter's phone instead of create new phone, all phone contacts are now gone replaced with daughter's - is there no way to get contac

I shared itunes account with daughter's phone, never synced my phone with home computer through itunes, synced tonight with itunes but choose her iphone and it restored all her info on my phone, all my phone contacts, text messages and photos are gone - I had auto backup to icloud daily - is there any way to get phone numbers and texts back off icloud?

If you have been backing up to iCloud your camera roll photos, text messages and other data and setting should be contained in the backup. Restoring the backup to the phone should recover them.
To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

I'm trying to purchase iTunes Match with my prepaid credit card. It's actually a one vanilla Visa card. It's not working is there anyway around not having to have a valid credit card.

Valid methods of payment vary from country to country. Which country?

Accidentally bought iTunes Match with Apple ID instead of iCloud/MobileMe e-mail.

I bought iTunes match with my Apple ID instead of my mobileme/iCloud account and now my iPhone 3GS won't let me use the itunes match because it says I need to have an iCloud account to use it, which I do, but it's not connected to my iTunes Match, my apple ID is.
My general question is why can you buy iTunes Match with an apple ID if you can't even use it on iDevices?
Is there any way for me to fix this problem?
Or did I just waste 25 dollars on something I will never be able to use on my iPhone?

You did it right. Your iCloud account is not necessarily the same thing as your iTunes Account ID. Since you were able to successfully enable iTunes Match you used your iTunes account ID, which is the properly ID to use. To enable iTunes Match on your iPhone log into the iTunes Store using the same iTunes Store ID you used to enable iTM in the first place. Go to Settings > Store and enter the correct ID.

If i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

if i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

I'm assuming you mean can you access the purchased songs from another apple id. No you cannot. You will need to download these on another computer and then transfer the hard files into your itunes library that you are using icloud with and let icloud match them.
You cannot access two different id's from one match account. Also, if you sign out of the match account that you are signed into to another to download purchases you will not be able to sign back into your match account for three months. So do not do this either. Just use a friends computer or another way.

Not really, no. I suppose in theory, but there is no way to manage the library, or retrieve the match contents for back up or other purposes.
