HT4914 Does ITunes Match effect the space used on your ICloud?

Does ITunes Match effect the space used on your ICloud? Being as though your songs are not actually being uploaded and your just pulling content off of I tunes .

Hello Karen,
Yes, enabling iTunes Match the current music library on the phone will be deleted.
From: iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
The music is stored on the cloud and streamed to your device unless you choose to download it on the phone.
Here is some additional info on how it works:

All the very best,

Does iTunes match remove the songs from my local computer.

I hope I ask this right?
My Itunes libaray is stored on my iMac
I'm not really looking to get my entire library onto my IOS devices. I have them all set up manually to my liking:)
However I would like to have my entire libarary avaliable to be used on my Macbook Air. I travel to different offices from day to day but all are connected to WiFi. The Air while amazing does have limited space on it so it would be great if I could just listen to my library through the cloud and not have to use up space on the Air.
My concern with this is I also want to be able to manage my songs manually on my IOS Devices. Will I still be able to sync my iPhone to my iMac at home and just add one or two songs?
Are the songs on my iMac still there? . When I play songs on my iMac are they playing from the harddrive or from the cloud? Its not really an issue but just so I better understand how it works.....imagine if I was concerned about the amount of data I was using each month.(from my internet provider). Do the songs still play from my iMac desktop or are they playing from the cloud?
I guess it all comes down to this. iTunes works perfect for me right now. When I add songs to my iMac, when I sync to iPhone or iPad. I really only want this so I can listen from the cloud on my Air.....but if it changes how I do everything else. I'm less sure I want this.
Appreciate the help:)

Simply do not enable iTunes Match on the iOS devices and syncing behavior will not change.

Yes. The files on the computer are not touched.

Enable iTM on the MBA and you will be able to stream from the cloud as long as you have a network connection.

HT4914 Does itunes match store video ??

Does itunes match allow you to store video and games downloaded from App Store in icloud ??

Sorry but iTunes Match does not cover music videos. It has something to do with the agreement between Apple and the music record companies. I hope this answered your question.

HT4914 Does iTunes match synchronize podcasts?

I would love for iTunes Match to synchronize podcasts, can it do that?

No, since iTunes Match basically allows you to redownload your music and you can redownload podcasts anyway without iTunes Match, there doesn't seem any point to such a feature.
However, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

Is it possible to organize your music in iTunes Match into the same playlists on your iPhone?

I tried using iTunes Match, but the music is completely unorganized on my phone when I activate it. Can I access my iTunes Match music in the same playlists as they are on my iPhone? How? Thanks gang!!!!

Yes.

HT4914 does Itune match charge you if your computer is wirless and you use a Verzion Myfi ??

Does this charge your Verzion MyFI GB usage??

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.

Does itunes match require the internet to listen to music on device?

Hello. I signed up for itunes match. I see the little icons next to each song so I assume that it was downloaded and working correctly. However, when I left my home wifi and wanted to listen to music on my iphone 4, the music cut off, paused, and did not play consistent, as if it was using the internet to play. I am confused, the music on my iphone prior has always been music I have purchased or downloaded and worked perfect, like an ipod. Now I can't get a song to play with all the pauses and stops. Is there anything that I need to do to make my music play like it should when I am at home on my wifi network?

And, iTunes Match can use a lot of bandwidth while not on WiFi. The weekend before AT&T started throttling users using more than 3GB per month, I decided to see how much bandwidth I could use in two days by downloading music on my 3GS from iTunes Match. I used just under 6GB. That was during about a five hour period each of those nights.
If I had used my 4S which is on Verizon to do this, I would have been charged about $40 since I have only a 2GB data plan.

HT4914 Does iTunes Match sync audiobooks?

I have many audiobooks in my iTunes library, and was wondering how iTunes Match handles them, if at all.

iTunes Match does not apply to audiobooks. Music only.

HT4914 Does Itunes match sync only songs, what about apps?

Interested in ITUNES Match, need to consolidate music and apps purchased under different Itunes accounts. I know ITUNES MATCH will sync all music on ipad/iphone/macdesktop BUT will it also sync apps on these devices?

ITunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all free space

iTunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all available space (8GB). The deactivation and reactivation does not work. The problem persists! Even unplugging the Apple ID and opening the Music app there are still all the artists, playlists, albums, etc. etc. (in the settings app music occupies 0 bytes! Have not saved songs). I have already restored three times! restarting iPhone available space returns to 8GB, opening the Music app after a few minutes iOS noted that the space is occupied.
iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS regularly work with the same Apple ID!
Any advice?

I am also reporting the same behavior. I, like billybaloney, have an almost "topped-out" iTunes Match collection (I actually have to manage keeping the matched content under the Apple 25K limit, but that is a different matter). Whenever I open Music app on my phone - 4S, iOS 7.11 - I see my available storage go to nil, and I start getting the "Storage Almost Full" messages. Which, if you have received them, also puts a significant drag on the performance of the device.
I am fully aware of the download locally (device) of "played" content, so I expect the number of songs and albums I have played to be resident on the phone after, and that requiring manual cleanup. I can see this by taking the phone offline (airplane mode, or literally out of coverage), and then opening the Music app and seeing only what is truly on the device.
I suspect that the "eater of free space" in the iTunes Match arena, for users with a large library of iCloud selections, is as simple as the iTunes library info to render for selection (not the music, but the artist, album, song and playlist lists, and the album artwork). Resetting your phone is a PITA for workaround. Something needs to be done, but I have a feeling nothing will. Or it will require an iOS update to a newer version that my devices won't be eligible to load.
Any insight or help would be great. Workarounds are only that: work arounds. Solution is what is needed.

I have 2 iCloud accts. One is old iTunes acct, the other is a MobileMe acct. I bought extra space and iTunes Match on the iCloud acct using my original iTunes ID. Now my phone will not let me turn on iTunes match cuz it defaults to the MobileMe iCloud ID.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. One is my original Itunes acct apple ID, the other is a MobileMe acct ID. I bought extra space in icloud on the original apple ID, and I bought Itunes Match on the original apple ID. My default icloud acct on my Mac is the original ID, but for some reason my contacts are sync'd to the MobileMe ID, and when I try to turn Itunes Match 'on' my Iphone, it defaults to the MobileMe acct, but my Itunes Match is purchased on the original apple ID. Help!
