Will using music match use space on my device

Yes and no.
It will allow you to remove media from the device and download that media on demand when you wish to play it.
iTunes Match does not currently allow streaming of media, based on my understanding, so it must be downloaded to be played.
This can become an issue when you want to access your media but have no Internet connection.

HT1386 I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully

I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully

It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod
BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

Why does it appear that photostream is using up space on my devices?

On all of my devices, when I look under the Usage>Photos it shows that there is space being taken up by photostream even though photostream is turned off on all devices and the pictures have been erased. Is it really using space on my device or does it appear that way?

How much is being used?
Id significant:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Store selected music in iCloud, not on iOS device

My iPod touch is almost full - I don't have enough space to upgrade to the latest iOS 5 version. Most of the storage is music that I rarely listen to. Since all of my music is already being backed up to iCloud, is there a way to specify which music I want to keep on my iOS device? That would give me more storage for other things, like apps and the new version of iOS 5.

Songs that you bought on iTunes which do not have the cloud symbol next to it are already downloaded to your device (and of course using space of your device). If you no longer want them on your device, you could simply delete them from your device and re-download them again.

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

When I add music from my CD onto my Macbook, the music will not transfer from iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone/iPad. I'm using iCloud, current software updates and Music Match. Any solutions?

HT4914 how do i use apple credit to get itunes music match??

I have apple id credit and I want to get itunes music match. I do not want to have to pay for it when I have the credit on my account already.

Note: 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.

How do I store music on my ipad and use music match?

Using an iPad2 with Music Match, how can I store music on my iPad as well?
Using iTunes 11, I no longer seem to have the ability add music to my iPad. If I try to manually drag and drop them onto my iPad an error says " Some of the files were not copied to the iPad because iTunes Match is enabled on this iPad."
I travel for a living and discovered on Thursday whilst on a plane that I no longer have music on my iPad and whilst on an international flight, there was no way of accessing "my iCloud" from within the real clouds!!"
I would like to be able to store music on my iPad for when I am offline, and still access my other music when I am online.
Is this possible and if so how ? All assistance appreciated!

Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
Thanks again!

How to limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?

On Yosemite, how do you limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
I'm using a Seagate Goflex Home 2tb drive connected to my router as a Time Machine backup drive. I use this for three things 1)Time Machine 2) an occasional backup of windows document subdirectory 3) backup of music and photos for long term storage. Doing something like re-partioning the drive is not an option. I'll just go buy another drive for time machine's sole use. In addition, using software from Seagate is not an option. I don't want to use their software for different reasons (mainly the GoFlex home is really designed as a "media server" which I don't use. I, of course, use iTunes. ) On the Mac, I'm only using about 250GB total but time machine is rapidly using up space.
Apparently using a terminal command like below, used to work, but no longer works under Yosemite.
For a limit of 100gb the number below would be 100 x 1024
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize 102400
To remove the limit, use the following command:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize
Now, I'm not too familiar with terminal and I'm not about ready to issue a command without knowing exactly what it is going to do.
Is there an easier "switch" someplace or an app that does this?
If I don't limit the size, at some point there will not be any space left for windows backups and additional photo and music files.

Hmm- added "sudo" and there was no error reported:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize xxxxxx
I guess we'll see.

Using Music Match with current iPad library

I've already been using my iPad before turning the iCloud Music Match service and as such my entire library is currently on the iPad. I've activated Music Match via iTunes on my PC and have completed the whole matching an uploading process. Do I need to manually delete the music from my iPad now to utilize fully the ability to stream or download just the music I want? I've already updated the iPad settings under Music for iTunes Match to be on and Show All Music to be on but my iPad capacity is still being taken up by over 4,000 songs. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
When you turn on music match on the iPad, anything previously synced will stay there and anything you listen to from iTunes match will be added until such time as you delete them.
You can delete individual tunes, whole albums or all the tunes by an individual artist by swiping and tapping delete (they will remain listed so you can redownload them at anytime.
If you have 4,000 tunes already synced and wished to start with none, then rather than delete them manually you may be better turning off iTunes match, removing all the tunes in a sync with iTunes and then re-enabling iTunes match.

HT2534 why can't I use money in my account to subscribe for music match subscription?

why can't I use money in my itunes account to subscribe for music match subscriptions?

If you switch you will have to backdate it to keep the overages from happening. Also you'll pay the difference in advance. So if the difference is $20. You pay $40 more next month compare to this month, but the following month will be $20 more like it should(bill in advance). When you downgrade plans you'll get credited the difference like it should as it works both ways.

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with new iTunes 11. How do I do this?? What folder does iTunes use?

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on. Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5. I need to free up space on my iPhone. If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

The same is true for photo's. I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space. Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.
