HT4914 iTunes Match Issues

I just subscribed to iTunes Match on my iPhone 5S but it won't work. iTunes Radio is still playing ads and I can't sync any of my non-iTunes music. There is no 'Turn on iTunes Match' option in my Music Settings either. All that keeps showing up is the 'Subscribe to iTunes Match' option, and thank you very much but I've already done that. Even when I click on that option all that shows up is a screen telling me I've already subscribed to iTunes Match. I'm getting really sick and tired of this whole deal, I even tried restarting my phone to see if it just needed to recalibrate. I would think that Apple could've figured out how to make their technology portably accessible after all these years. Any suggestions as to anything else I could try are welcome.

  • HT4914 iTunes Match resubscribe?

    I subscribed to iTunes Match a few days ago and I only disabled it and now it says I have to subscribe

    Hello mami.g21
    As long as you are using the same Apple ID, it should not have an issue with reassociating it with your iTunes library. If you are charged again, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • Weird iTunes Match issue - song correct on computer and iPhone, wrong on iPad

    I hope someone can help.
    I use iTunes Match for my mobile devices, with my main home PC being the golden source/reference.
    Most songs work fine on my computer, iPhone 4S and iPad3 using iTunes Match ... however a few songs are incorrect on the iPad.
    For example, Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" is plays correctly on computer and iPhone, but a completely different Kelly Clarkson song plays on the iPad (a song we don't even own!).
    Troubleshooting ...
    a) on iTunes on my computer, iTunes match is up to date and the 'problem' songs are listed as "Matched" in the iCloud Status column.
    b) on the iPad, I've tried turning off iTunes match, then re-enabling iTunes match - same issue occurs - the Kelly Clarkson songs show up, but the 'wrong' song plays
    c) I've tried restarting the iPad ... no change.
    I've read other threads with similar issues - they say contact support - but my systems are out of full warranty and there doesn't seem to be a way of contacting support without paying.
    Does anyone have any suggestions ?

    Hi - thanks for the response.
    A couple of points/questions
    1) I did further debug by deleting the song from my computer (leaving the song in iCloud) - then downloading from iCloud .... the song labeled Kelly Clarkson 'Breakaway' in iCloud is not the correct song .... this isn't coming from my system, as the song was 'Matched', not 'uploaded'.
    2) I rechecked my iPhone ... the Kelly Clarkson song 'Breakaway' which plays correctly is stored locally on the phone ... it's not coming from iCloud/Match.
    3) You mention removing "Music" from the iPad .... how is that possible? I can remove apps that I've downloaded, but don't know how to remove 'native' apps (like safari, music etc.). Also - based on my further troubleshooting, this clearly isn't an iPad issue any more ... it's an error with Apple iTunes Match catalog.
    Any ideas on how to contact Apple (without me paying!) to have this resolved?

  • New iPad apps & iTunes Match issues?

    So I have a 64gb AT&T new iPad. I've had it for about a week now and it's been working great except for downloading new apps, and downloading some stuff from iTunes Match.
    When I try to update apps, it just goes back to the home screen and it says that these apps are "waiting." I tried rebooting it, which did nothing. When I plugged it into my computer most of the apps updated sucessfully, but some were still just waiting. I tried a different wifi network, then I tried it over cellular data and nothing works. I don't want to have to plug it into my computer everytime it needs to update an app.
    Then with iTunes Match, the frikin thing REFUSES to download some songs and albums. I will listen to an album all the way through, then I'll look in the music app and nothing has downloaded. I'll press the little cloud with the down arrow button and nothing happens. I've tried force quitting the music app through multi-tasking, and sometimes it helps a little bit, but most it just does nothing. Occasionally, it won't even play songs, even if I've already downloaded them.
    It behaves the same over different wifi networks and over cellular data, so I know it's not my internet connection. My iPhone 4 has been working perfectly over the same wifi connection (in terms of both app updates and Match).
    Has anyone else been experiencing this? Does anybody have any solutions? Suggestions?

    I have had this problem since buying my new iPad 3 weeks ago. The situation you have described is almost identical to my own. Touching the little cloud icons appears to activate a downoad but this never gets underway and looking at dpwnoads these are shown as waiting. A 'Genius' at my local Apple Store was unable to solve this problem. The strarnge thing is that iTines Match on my iPhone4S works fine with iOS 5.1, but clearly there are some issues Apple needs to sort ourt with the new iPad. I'd be really interested whether anyone offered you a solution or whether you found one elsewhere?

  • Inexplicable iTunes Match issues

    Hi,
    I have an iPad 3 and I use iTunes Match to listen to all the stuff on my Mac hard drive on the go.
    Recently my Purchased Music Playlist and other playlists on iPad do not automatically update when I buy or add new things.
    I have done the obvious and turned iTunes Match off and on, which worked once but now no longer works.
    I have tried turning iTunes Match off, closing the Music app down and restarting it, as well as turning the iPad off and back on in between turning Match off/on
    it doesnt work.
    In fact last night, whilst I had iTunes Match switched off in Settings - apart from not having any of my new purchases the Match service was operating as normal, my entire library was available, yet Match was off.
    So, Match won't refresh, and won't turn off.
    Help.

    It's only been publicly available since mid-Nov -- were you in the beta?   I think 4-5 months would be a record.  
    My guess is that it's getting stuck somewhere.  First, I'd verify that you're on the latest iTunes version.  Then, when it runs, check what step you are at, as I'm guessing that either you're stuck at either one file being checked or perhaps it's just taking a REALLY long time to upload whatever you have.  Technically if you have a very slow upload speed and if you are unfortunate enough to have tens of thousands of files being uploaded, it wouldn't surprise me if it could take a month or longer, at least.   What's your upload speed?

  • HT204406 iTunes Match ISSUE: we could not complete your itunes store request.  an unknown error occured (-50)

    I cannot turn on my iTunes Match.  When I try to add my computer it just says:
    "we could not complete your itunes store request.  an unknown error occured (-50)"
    and then I press ok and it says:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The network connection could not be established"

    Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to fix it.

  • HT4914 iTunes Match / icloud

    I have a MacBook , ipad & iPhone , I'm thinking about iTunes Match & storing all music in the cloud but as my MacBook is the main computer for the house does it need to always be on for the music to work ?

    You pay separately for Match.  It will hold up to 25,000 tracks plus your iTunes purchases.

    If you each want to use iTunes Match, yes.  Match is on per-account basis.

  • HT4914 iTunes Matching Songs WITHOUT Local Files

    So my music collection is nearly 12,000 songs. I built it for nearly 10 years, and cherish it. Sadly, however, the external hard drive I stored all my music on is dead, and the backup files are corrupted. (This is what happens when you go back to Windows ) So now I'm left with options of expense: A) I can hire a data recovery service (my first quote was $1,200- completely out of my price range), B) Start allllllll over again, or (hopefully) C) sign up for iTunes Match and match all of the music that could at least be found in the iTunes catalogue.
    Here's my question: If I sign up for iTunes Match, and drop the (totally reasonable) $25, will iTunes scan my Library as it is, or does it require that I have the local files? If it needs the local files, then the $25 will be for little more than the option of giving me cloud access to the few files I have left. However, if it scans my library (which I'm generally very anal about organizing) and gives me even HALF of my music back, then it's worth its weight in gold.
    Too Long, Didn't Read: does iTunes Match scan local files, or does it just look at the library that is still in my iTunes?
    Please help!

    Well, the computer was on all day while I was at work, but I don't think anyone would have come in the house and deleted my music files from iTunes. Anyway, I think the best approach would be to add the entire media folder back into iTunes. I tried it with one song and it initially showed a duplicate, but then iTunes match did an update and removed the duplicate song. I'll do that this evening just before I'm done using the Mac and let the process happen overnight.

  • HT4914 iTunes Match song maximum

    iTunes Match "stores" 25,000 songs from your library as mentioned. What happens if you have more than 25,000 songs in your iTunes library?  How does it choose the songs to match and make available for the other devices?

    You will need to have downloaded your music onto your iPad (or other device or computer) if you want to play it on that deivce whilst you don't have an internet connection - so whilst you are still connected, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637 :
    Once your iTunes Match library has finished syncing to your device, you can browse by Genius Mixes, Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums, Compilations, Composers, and Genres. When you find a Genius Mix, playlist, album, or artist you like, simply tap on the Genius Mix or song title to begin streaming that song or playlist. If you begin streaming a song from a playlist, iTunes Match will continue playing through the rest of your playlist after the initial song has finished. If you'd like to download the song or playlist to your device, simply tap the download button to the right of the song or at the bottom of the playlist. 

  • HT4914 itunes match storage capacity?

    What is the capacity of icloud compaired to icloud match??

    iTunes Match is for up to 25000 songs, iCloud storage is separate and they provide different functions. If you subscribe to iTunes Match then you don't use any of your iCloud allowance for storing your music (iCloud is for backing your photos, documents, files etc.). Also iTunes purchases aren't included in your iCloud allowance, what you can re-download from the store depends upon what country that you are in
    About iTunes Match : http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
