Hi,
If you do not have a back up or the tracks were not on your hard drive, you will have lost all your music except for itunes store purchases.

Your library is preserved with the following repair process, but you ought to be routinely backing up anyway.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Hi
Have you let iTunes Match scan your iTunes Match on your computer? Subscribing to iTunes from an iOS device.

If I compress my iTunes library by converting to 'AAC' will the resulting music still be of CD quality or higher?

I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere but I am new here and a bit confused by file formats. Basically all of my music existed as MP3 files of 320kbps on my computer. I imported them all to itunes. I have read that if I use the 'convert to AAC' feature in iTunes I will end up with music of the same quality but save a lot of memory as the AAC files are smaller. Other comments imply that would be a pointless move and that the resulting audio quality will be poorer because I'd be converting 'lossy' to 'lossy'-this doesn't mean anything to me lol.
Basically I want all my music to be of CD quality or better. With that in mind, is it worthwhile me converting all my 320kbps songs to this 'AAC' version or not? If the advantages/disadvantages of this feature could be stated that would also be appreciated!
Thanks

Rob,
Both AAC and MP3 are less than CD quality. There is no conversion you can do that will raise them to CD quality. The person who told you it was "pontless" was correct.
If you want CD quality music, you can go back to the original CDs and re-rip using one of the "lossless" formats: WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless.
On the other hand, if your current MP3/320 music sounds good, you may want to leave it alone. Besides people with audiophile equipment and well-controlled listening conditions, most people do not notice a difference.

If i previously downloaded cds i owned through itunes but i need to deactivate all then reactivate will all the music still show up?

had too many computers authorized because of computer dying and need to know how the music both downloaded by itunes and by cd will stay on computer?

If you deactivate your computer all your media will stay put. If you tried to sync a device without activating your computer again any protected media would be removed from the device.
You should backup anyway.

ITunes Match expired; I want to renew, but how?

I got the following email from iTunes Store today:
Your subscription for iTunes Match expired on 11/14/12. Your complete music collection and playlists in iCloud are no longer available from your iOS devices, iTunes, or Apple TV. You will still be able to download from iCloud any music you previously purchased on iTunes from the Purchased area of the iTunes Store. You can also sync your music to your iOS devices using iTunes for Mac+PC. To renew your subscription now, open iTunes on your Mac or PC and choose Turn on iTunes Match from the Store menu.
However, when I turn on iTunes Match from the Store menu, it behaves as it always has (as if iTunes Match had never expired), so I have no idea how to actually renew my membership. I've tried turning iTunes Match off and on several times, but it never takes me to any sort of order/renew page. I've also tried signing out/in on iTunes. I definitely want to renew, but for some reason the Auto Renew did not go through (my payment details are fine, as I am able to purchase from the iTunes Store without a hitch).
Any advice? iTunes Match actually seems to be working fine, but I don't want to wait for it to actually die before renewing.

Same. I want to renew, but no where to find. According to apple help pages, if you click account, there should be a place to select auto renew itunes match like below:
But my itunes doesnt have it at all!!

I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing iPad music.

I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
Thanks!!

You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
Authorize and Deauthorize
Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.

If i subscribe to itunes match can I use this to transfer my music to a new laptop

if i subscribe to itunes match can I use this to transfer my music to a new laptop

Don't.
1) Match would be horribly slow unless you have a tiny library.
2) Match won't transfer all file formats. I am pretty sure it is just music.
3) Match may degrade your music quality if you use high quality file formats.
Why not simply copy the whole iTunes folder to the other computer using an external drive, then start iTunes on the other computer while holding down the option/alt key and select the copied folder? This will copy the entire library intact.

ITunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all free space

iTunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all available space (8GB). The deactivation and reactivation does not work. The problem persists! Even unplugging the Apple ID and opening the Music app there are still all the artists, playlists, albums, etc. etc. (in the settings app music occupies 0 bytes! Have not saved songs). I have already restored three times! restarting iPhone available space returns to 8GB, opening the Music app after a few minutes iOS noted that the space is occupied.
iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS regularly work with the same Apple ID!
Any advice?

I am also reporting the same behavior. I, like billybaloney, have an almost "topped-out" iTunes Match collection (I actually have to manage keeping the matched content under the Apple 25K limit, but that is a different matter). Whenever I open Music app on my phone - 4S, iOS 7.11 - I see my available storage go to nil, and I start getting the "Storage Almost Full" messages. Which, if you have received them, also puts a significant drag on the performance of the device.
I am fully aware of the download locally (device) of "played" content, so I expect the number of songs and albums I have played to be resident on the phone after, and that requiring manual cleanup. I can see this by taking the phone offline (airplane mode, or literally out of coverage), and then opening the Music app and seeing only what is truly on the device.
I suspect that the "eater of free space" in the iTunes Match arena, for users with a large library of iCloud selections, is as simple as the iTunes library info to render for selection (not the music, but the artist, album, song and playlist lists, and the album artwork). Resetting your phone is a PITA for workaround. Something needs to be done, but I have a feeling nothing will. Or it will require an iOS update to a newer version that my devices won't be eligible to load.
Any insight or help would be great. Workarounds are only that: work arounds. Solution is what is needed.
