HT4915 My iTunes match is in bad shape! Can I start over?

Probably 15% of the artists in my iTunes Match say "Eve". But I only have one of her albums. Is there a fix? Can I just start over, somehow?

If you are having battery issues, and you haven't, you should try updating your phone to the latest iOS version (7.1.2).
Try restoring the iPhone like a new device after the update and test the phone as this may be fix the issue.

HT4915 Is iTunes Match really really bad or is it just me?

iTunes Match has to be biggest I have been ripped off this year. It's performance is absolutely abysmal.
I have quite a good internet connection and have no problems elsewhere. iTunes Match now means it can take up 2 days just to get a song onto my phone.
$30+ to take a giant step backward. This needs to the ombudsman and the ACCC. Apple should not be allowed to mislead the public the way they are. I am otherwise very happy with Apple products(well except maps, but that's a given).
Or am I wrong? Is is just Australia? Or Telstra?
I have tried many so called fixed found on here and elsewhere on the net. I have even reinstalled iTunes. But Match still gets stuck. All it need to do is match the songs, I could upload the entire song quicker!

It works very well and very quickly for me, in London and in Chicago.
Maybe it is you?
How fast is your connection?

i clicked the download all button at the end of the list of my library iTunes which i believe is in the iCloud, i have iTunes match also, many downloads were reported as occurring over several hours and then received the warning startup disc is full (activity monitor shows 3.99 of 4 GB used) and then another stating the download had not occurred due to the disc being full. most of the tunes still appear to be in the cloud but the disc is said to be full, spent a good period of time trying to investigate what has happened but failed...I'm not well up on all of this as an old chap so any help would be wonderful.....

Thanks Michael, what is the best way of backing up, should buy a cheap standalone external hard drive rather than relying on the Time Capsule which is quite sensitive...
If you read the link I provided you'll get an idea of one way to maintain a backup of your music files, use Time Machine, and not take up as much room on the internal HDD/SSD.

Your internet connection speed has no effect on Time Machine/Time Capsule backups. Since that is all done locally, over your wireless network you actually do not need an internet connection at all.

Also I wondered if I could increase the memory on the setup disk by replacing the 4GB card already in the MBP with 16GB cards, if I upgraded would that affect anything I have stored already like my iTunes?
You're asking about the computer's RAM. Increasing that will not increase the size of the internal storage available to the computer. You'd need to replace the HDD/SSD of the Mac, which, depending on what model you have may or may not be possible (with new models of Macs).

Subscribed to iTunes Match - ok on iphone, but can't hear tunes on Mac Book Pro (?)

Hi,
Why can't you hear your music on your mac book? Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribe to iTunes Match.

If i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

if i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

I'm assuming you mean can you access the purchased songs from another apple id. No you cannot. You will need to download these on another computer and then transfer the hard files into your itunes library that you are using icloud with and let icloud match them.
You cannot access two different id's from one match account. Also, if you sign out of the match account that you are signed into to another to download purchases you will not be able to sign back into your match account for three months. So do not do this either. Just use a friends computer or another way.

TS3212 When I try to start Itunes, I get the message" program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer - try reinstalling the program". When I try to reinstall I get the message Error 7 (Windows Error 126) - can you help me?

Can you help me?????

Hello Charleen,
It sounds like you are unable to reinstall iTunes because of this error message 7. I recommend the troublehsooting found in the following article that mentions that error named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)”
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I recently sold my Mac Air to a friend, he wants to use iTunes Match, but it says he can't for another 40 days because it was attached to my account. How can I get that turned off so that he can use his account and turn on iTunes match.

I reecntly spold my mac book air,to a friend, when he tries to use itunes match it says the computer is registersed to another user and cannot be done for another 40+ days. How do i get that to turn off. I have unregistered it under my account.
thanks s

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

Connect 2 iPhones with 2 different apple ids to the macbook for updates and backup through iTunes match and iCloud. How can i make that happen?

We have a mac book pro and 2 i phones 4S. We both have different Apple Id's. But we would like to connect both phones to the mac book in order to update photos and itunes match. I subscribed with my apple id to itunes match and it automatically updates apps, music, books etc. However the apple id of my husbands phone is not recognized so his music, apps etc are not automatically updated. The same happens with icloud.
How can we make the mac book recognize both phones?

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

My iphone thinks I am in the India store ... dont ask me how. how do I cancel an active itunes match subscription so that I can change the country. I am a u.s. based user who recently travled to asia

how do I cancel an active ITunes Match account in order to change the country of my ITunes store? My phone thinks I am in the India store, even though I have always been based in U.S. I cannot update apps on Iphone until I change the store. The Iphone will not let me change my country until I cancel an active ITunes Match account? Help!

How to Change Country with iTunes Match
Although I am confused as to why you think you need to cancel iTunes Match. Didn't you originally subscribe on the US store? Or were you signed into the Indian store with a different Apple ID?

I recently signed up with iTunes match. After downloading the program I lost over 2500 songs! What happened to them?

Can someone please help me? I want all my songs back.

There is nothing to download for iTunes Match. It is a service that is built into iTunes that you subscribe to, then enable. So... you enabled the service and let the initial scan, match and upload process complete. Is that correct?
How are you determining that songs are missing? And where are they missing from? Your iTunes library? Please be specific.
As to backups, you say you "can't find them." How are you backing up your personal data?
If it is determined that the song files are actually gone from the computer HDD/SSD and you do not have backups then, yes, you'll need to rip (not "download") the CDs again.

ITunes match, iPhone shows tracks i can't download

I synchronized my Itunes on the mac with itunes match. Now I have tracks, listed on my iphone, that I can't download. Could anyone explain?
Thanks
Peter

I can see this is an old question but I had this problem this week and spoke with tech support for an hour + to get the answer. The problem is visible within iTunes when you are connected to the mac and try to sync music, but are unable because the screen says: iTunes Match is Turned On, even tho it is indeed turned off on your computer settings, and you have not renewed the subscription in the iTunes Store account settings on line. The fix is on the iPhone or the iPad. By the way, since this is an older post let me mention I am on Yosemite, and iTunes 12 and ios8 on the iPhone.
I tried several steps that didn't work, some that were listed on help sites and some the senior tech people had me try.
The fix worked like this. I plugged in the iPhone to the mac with the sync cable and with iTunes open and on the music setting it says, "iTunes Match is On" then I went to iPhone touched "settings" then "iTunes & App Store" then at the top of the next screen where it says Apple ID: in Blue - touch your ID. Then a menu appears that says, View Apple id, Sign Out, Forget and Cancel. Touch the Sign Out Item. Now you should be signed out of the iTunes store on your phone.
Next unplug the iPhone from the computer and plug it back in. Now when you go to the section in iTunes to sync music it will say, "Sync Music Manually" and you can now sync as you want to do. When you are done go back to the settings on the iPhone and sign back in.
I have an iPhone and 2 iPads, I had to do this procedure on each of my devices.
The phone no longer has a toggle setting to turn off "iTunes Match" like the help pages say. I think the phone is supposed do identify that you are no longer subscribed all on its own, but if for some reason it doesn't, then this may help.

ITunes Match on Apple TV ignores my custom start/end times on tracks

Some of my tracks in iTunes have custom start/end times set (to cut out skits and stuff). These set start/end times are respected by all my iTunes Match devices (iPod and desktop iTunes) except my Apple TV.

Hey guys,
I ended up here for having the same issue. iTunes Match playing the song for 20 seconds or so on Apple TV and then giving me error message saying iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. No trouble shooting worked for me as it didn't for you either. After using my apple tv for several months and experiencing occasional glitches that are somewhat similar to this probelm I boiled it down to 2 possible reasons. 1) some kind of bug that is fixable with latest firmwares Apple releases. 2) problems with Apple's servers. My best guess for this particular problem is the server problems because everything was playing fine until yesterday (Saturday) and the current frmware was released few weeks ago. It is strangely coincedental that most glitches seem to appear over the weekends. About couple of months ago I tried to watch an episode from a show and it would tell me the show would be available to watch in 24 hours. The loading was painfully slow. The problem only lasted a weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem disappears tomorrow although I might be wrong.

ITunes.exe - System Error - The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

The Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

My files are a mess - how can I start over in iTunes?

Over the years, my music files have become scattered all over between different locations on my internal drive and various externals. I have tons of duplicates, lost files, and it's just a general mess.
I would like to do a search for all my music files, and completely start over with iTunes and keep them on my MacBook Pro. I have room on my internal (or would, if they were oranized properly and I got rid of duplicates!) but a lot of the files that show up on iTunes are on an external so of course it will ask me where they are. This is driving me crazy and I want to just scrap everything and start over fresh.
I have a 1TB external that I can dump them all on while I change over.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this would be welcome, as well as whether there are programs available that would help with this (or is it just as doab;e without a separate application).
TIA, Alicia Morgan

basically, the question is: does iTunes know where all these files are ? or does iTunes show a "!" next to any files ?

once you have gotten rid of dupes and located the lost files, you could consolidate your library:
(a) go iTunes > preferences > advanced and make sure
o iTunes media folder location is pointing to the iTunes music folder on your startup disk
o +keep iTunes media folder organized+ is checked
o +copy files to ... when adding to library+ is checked
(b) have any external HD holding any of your media files is mounted on your desktop
(c) go file > library > organize library > consolidate files
if the option to +upgrade to iTunes media organization+ is available, select that too.
