HT4914 iTunes Match vs Prerecorded Songs

When using iTunes Match, are songs that have already been recorded on the laptop, ipad or iphone preserved in the device and the Match songs that are streamed in from iCloud become available as well?  And assume the prerecorded songs can be accessed along with the MATCH songs at the same time?

I'm a little confused you said iTunes Match is not recognizing them and replacing with better quality. If iTunes Match doesn't recognize a song it will upload the version that is on your computer. If it does recognize it you'll have access to the 256KBps version on all devices immediately (wont need to upload).

  • HT4914 iTunes Match, find lost songs

    I've lost my songs that I bought in iTunes on my iPhone, will iTunes Match help me get them back?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
    Peace Out.

  • HT4914 iTunes match not uploading songs

    I have uploaded a vinyl copy of quite a few artists from my collection and it appears that iTunes match is not recognising them and replacing the uploaded content with one of better quality as stated!
    The one which came to my notice first of all was Queen- She Makes Me ( Stormtrooper in Stilletos) from The album Sheer Heart Attack. This album is in iTunes!
    Any ideas??????

  • HT4914 If I do not resubscribe after the first year with itunes match will any songs that have been upgraded in quality lose this upgrade or will it remain?

    Dottie,
    If you want to upgrade the quality of a song in your library, you have to delete the library copy and download the matched copy.
    Once it is downloaded, it will stay in your library even you don't renew Match.

  • ITunes Match indicates more songs than Library

    Updating iTunes Match says "2821 songs are now available in iCloud", however, my library says 2820.  This occurs w/ 3 separate computers (Win7 desktop and laptop, and a MacBook Air running OS X Lion) all synced to the same iTunes Match account.  I know it's only a variance of 1 track, but has anyone else run into something similar?  Any way to manage just the music in iCloud?

    iTunes Match if only matched with a single library can only contain upto the number of Songs in that single library - clearly if it has access to more than one library it is soon going to contain more Songs than any individual library.

  • HT204406 Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available but none of my playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac there looks to me no issues

    Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available  on my apple TV, and there is a tab for playlists. Yet the only playlists available are the Preset itunes generated 4: 90's music, Classical Music videos, and Recently Added. Yet even the recently Added playlist does not contain my most recelty added music purchased form iTunes and shows that is in the Cloud. None of my other playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac, there looks to be no issues relating to them and the cloud. Even tried making a new playlist. It made no difference. It would be nice to figure out how to have my music available on my TV without having to open up my computer everytime. Yes I know I can use my cell phone but, I'd like to put my photos to music and to set that up I need the Itunes Match playlists to WORK

    Hi I had exactly the same problem, I don't know if you setup your Apple TV before you subscribed to iTunes I match? If you did then I did the same and although all my songs showed up on my Apple TV none of my playlist did.
    This is how I fixed it I went into settings on the Apple TV menu and reset the device back to factory default, I then setup the unit again adding in my iTunes username and password etc, ticked the bix that says turn on I match and then went into music
    It took a few moments but it said updating once this finished I checked playlists and all my playlists as per my desktop PC were showing up!
    I hope this Helios resolve your problem too :)

  • 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 does anybody know if Itunes match rename my songs with the right name?

    Hi
    I want to know if Itunes match will rename my songs files with the right name after sync. and if Itunes match will put the right cover to my songs too.
    Thanks for all your help.

    Reboot your computer
    Disable your firewall and antivirus
    Connect the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not to a hub, but do not connect to the phone yet
    Launch iTunes
    Hold HOME and SLEEP buttons on the phone until the screen turns black, then release SLEEP but continue holding HOME
    Connect the cable while holding HOME and wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in Recovery mode
    Release the button and the phone should restore.

  • HT4914 Itunes Match - 25000 songs limit

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

  • How can an iTunes Match user prevent songs from being uploaded to the iCloud?

    Has anyone who is currently using iTunes Match found a way to prevent selected songs in their music library from being uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of audio files that are hour long mixes, but aren't quite large enough to run afoul of the 200MB size limit. I'd like to keep using iTunes Match, but would like to prevent it from trying to upload any of these larger files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
    I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

  • Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(

    i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
    There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?

    I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it.  I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
    So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
    Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
    Thank you
