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.

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.

HT4914 iTunes Match .... Will this work with a mini with a 32 bit processor?

Does iTunes Match work with 32. Bit as well as 64 bit processors?

Do you have iTunes 10.5.1+ on it ? That is the only requirement that is listed for it to work on a Mac.

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.

I have about 223000 songs in my collection., the majority of which I did NOT purchase on iTunes. The way I read the terms is that I am limited to 25k of those songs tenor purchased on iTunes or 25k songs that iTunes Match can't find?

HT4914 iTunes Match storage size

iTunes Match says you can store up to 250,000 songs. But are you limited by the 5GB of free iCloud space, or is extra storage space included with your iTunes Match subscription?

HT4914 iTunes Match help

I have iTunes installed on both my home and work computer. Will iTunes Match store music from both of these? I have different CD's uploaded on them both.

Yes, iTunes will scan the libraries on both computers. Tracks matched or uploaded on one machine will be available to download or stream on the other an vice versa.
It is a way to consolidate all your music on your computer at home by downloading the other tracks which are on your works computer. You need to check for duplicates.

HT4914 Itunes match limitations

When I try to transfer music with higher quality than 256kb/s on my iphone (where itunes match is activated), itunes refuses the transfer, why???

Thank you for your answer.
OK, I never noticed this before.
Is there any explanation for this limitation? Is there an alternative solution if I want to listen music with high bitrate (higher than 256kb/s) on my iPhone, where Itunes Match is enabled?

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 ;

HT4914 iTunes Match - itunes data storage relief for PC or convenient way to have media access between devices?

So basically I can get iTunes Match and it will hold the songs so that it doesn't use space on my PC? Or is it just a better way to have access to all my itunes media on all my devices?

Bryan,
It is really the latter. For several reasons, Match is not a reliable way to back up your files. You will still need them on physical media. See this User Tip:

From Apple's support article on How to Subscribe to iTunes Match:
You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.
Do you therefore have a credit card associated with your account? It not, that's the problem.
Hope this helps.
