HT4914 How can I disable iTunes Match?

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match not realizing that I'd lose the ability to manage my music on my devices. Downloading to my iPhone over 3G is painful so I'd like to disable iTunes Match for my iPhone for starters and I will more than likely do the same for my other Apple devices.

The only way to unsubscribe iTM is to turn off auto-renew of the subscription and wait for the current sub to expire.

How can i disable iTunes match on my new iPod?

I want all my music locally stored on my new iPod touch. I want this so that I do not have to rely on wifi to have access to my music, and so that sonos will work with it.

Greetings kkdawg,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations on your new iPod touch. If you want all of your music stored locally on this device, first turn off iTunes Match by tapping Settings > Music and then the iTunes Match on/off switch.
This should allow you to sync music to your iPod touch from iTunes on a computer, as mentioned here:
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
You can find detailed instructions for syncing music to your iPod touch in this article:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

HT204406 How can I reset iTunes Match to my original version, before it was corrupted by iMatch?

How can I reset iTunes Match to my original version, before it was corrupted by iTunes Match? I have a extensive library I developed over years and it has been totally destroyed by iTunes Match and I have not been able to rectify it, no matter what.

Hallo Jim, thanks for the response.
I have a library of around 9000 songs, about 40 playlists and all albums sorted etc. It was originally kept on a Windows 7 based system. After linking the entire library on iTunes Matc (which took forever), all was fine for a while, then suddenly double playlists start apearing, songs disapeard form playlists and I started to loose all my settings!
In a last attempt to solve my problems, I purchased a Mac to use at home with all the other Apple devices. (Appletv, iPads etc) Unfortunatelly despite numerous attempts I have not been able to copy the library over to the MAC, as I keep on loosing half of the data. I tried iTunes Match, but this made things even worse.
Reading several forums and tutorials and trying everything, simply helped me to recover an older version of the Library by copieng a pervious version and replacing the current .itl file. (on the Windows based system)
So, I now have a fairly updated and complete iTunes Library on my Windows based computer at work, but all my other devices and MAC at home have skeleton versions of the original Library.
I have disabled iTune Match on all sytems as well as Genius , as this seams to be escalating the problems by creating multiple versions of my existing playlists, but none that are complete.
If you have advice for me, or can refer me to a detailed and accurate tutorial, I will be very grateful.
Thank you,
Hennie

How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?

I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?

I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums???

iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.

How can I turn iTunes Match off without an internet connection?

Hi all. I find myself up s**t creek without a paddle. I have subscribed to iTunes Match, which I find to be an excellent service. However, I'm travelling (by ship) and don't have an internet connection for the forseeable future. I recently, prior to departing on my voyage, scrubbed my phone and ipad for extra space, so I deleted all of my music content, knowing my music would be with me on my laptop. However, now I want to walk around the ship and listen to my music, which I assumed I would be able to sync with my laptop. Unfortunately, I can't find any iTunes or iPhone options to sync any music because it says iTunes Match is enabled. There are no options to disable iTunes Match either. I'm using the latest version of iOS (5.1) on an iPhone 4S purchased in Japan, as well as the most recent (as of 4/1/2012) version of iTunes on my Macbook Pro running OS X Lion.
Thanks for any help someone might offer.

I was recently able to connect my iPhone to a Wi-Fi network connected to the internet. Only then did the option show up in the Settings app. I'm not sure if that's by design or if it's a bug, but it's terribly inconvenient just at the moment I need to access the feature. If it's by design, it's a poor design compared to most other aspects of iOS.

HT4914 how to cancel the itunes match?

I would like to change to another region. But it says that I need to cancel my itunes match first.
How could I do to solve this problem?

You probably can't cancel the sub but you can change the country for App Store. I did this on my mac by accessing my iTunes account, clicking on change country or region. When you get to the change country page with the message re the active iTunes Match sub, scroll to the bottom of the page where there are more options, one of which is change country under the manage list. I chose the uk here and it restored my App Store to uk on all my devices.
Not sure you can do this from the iPad.
Hope that helps.

How can I get iTunes Match to download songs on new iphone5s?

Hi, I just exchanged the iphone4 for for the iphone 5s. For five days now it says 'Loading iTunes Match' on the display of the new phone when I go to 'Music'. Same thing for photographs. What can I do?
So far I've checked that all the right things are enabled, but I'm wondering if I've missed something. It worked more or less fine on the iphone 4. I went through similar topics on this notice board and tried the solution of deleting the old iphone from the list of devices.
It won't update to 7.0.3 because it says something about the iPhone having to restore from the iCloud backup...
The only thing that's out of the ordinary with my account, is that the apple shop originally set me up with a second itunes account for icloud when 'me' got discontinued. Does this matter? I never had issues like this with the iphone 4.
I hope someone can help! I work with both music and photographs! If all else fails, I am willing to stop using iclouds...
Please let me know if you had the same issues and found a solution!! Thanks! rheia@

I just decided to not heed the warning about loosing data if I updated to 7.0.3 before the iPhone was finished restoring from the iCloud back up and it worked!! I'm getting my songs now! It's downloading my music! :-) Don't know about the photos yet, but I guess I'll find out.

HT4914 How do I stop iTunes match? I don't want it to not auto-renew in a year, I want to discontinue use immediately.

It seems that the only way to end the iTunes match reoccuring account is to "turn Off Auto-Renew" however, it's saying that this will not "auto-renew" then in July of 2014. I want it to end auto-renew immediately and stop charging my credit card 24.99 a month. Thanks for your help!

The $24.99 is an annual subscription, it's not a monthly charge. If you want to cancel your subscription then you can try contact iTunes Support via this page :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
