It will be compatible in that iTunes Match will look at your computers Apple Lossless versions, and will then send AAC 256Kbps versions to your iPad. It will not send Apple Lossless copies to your iPad (or even another computer). AAC 256Kbps versions are fine for an iPad and Apple Lossless versions would very rapidly completely fill an iPad.

  • With itunes match live on my iOS devices, can I now remove all local music files from my PC to free up space?  There's no need to keep it if it will always be in the cloud.  Right?

  • Manually add songs with itunes match

    Hi All,
    I am wondering if it is possible to manually add songs to my new iPhone 5s via iTunes and the lightning cable.
    I use iTunes match and love the service but it seems crazy that I would have to download 1200 songs plus across the internet to have them on my new handset.
    Is there a work around that lets me manually put the songs on my iphone and then enable itunes match without loosing all those songs?
    I am on a very slow and data limited internet connection and it will take me months to get all my music across.
    Cheers for any help,
    Elle

    I think Apple has to comply with the reality; lately this company I adore is gettin on too much new things way before they work as it's supposed to.
    Itunes match is great if I can download my songs on the go, it's a nightmare when I have to add new songs.
    Why can't I manage them manually?
    Why am I forced to spend money to upload them and again spend money to downolad them when I can use a cheap usb cable?
    Apple stop you run and come back to do simple things that seamlessy works, that's what you're famous for; not the "200 new functions" a year that nobody is able to let work...

  • I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in music folder in finder and on iPhone/ipad with itunes match but not in iTunes?

    I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?

    Not working.  And it didn't used to be a problem.  iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album).  Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything.  Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well.  The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
    I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store.  Not gonna happen.  If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
    This worked fine before OSX 10.8.

  • Will apple store transfer files from old macbook to new?

    will apple store transfer files from old mackbook to new

    If  you mean that you are going to an Apple Store to buy a new Mac, and you want to know if they will transfer your data for you then the answer is "maybe." Many stores will do that for you, but some may not. Good idea to ask first.

  • When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability?

    When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
    Anything planned?

    I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

  • My iPhone with iTunes match is extremely slow downloading songs, stuck on processing file

    I have a 64GB iPhone 5, with iTunes Match enabled. Whenever I try to download songs to the phone, the songs will download very quickly, usually with 15 seconds, but then it will be stuck on Processing File for 15-20 minutes. This makes it very difficult to download large numbers of songs. I have been trying to download ~3000 songs since Friday and there are still 492 left after 4 days. Any ideas why the processing file action takes so long?
    Internet speed: 15ms ping, 35mbps download, 11mbps upload
    iOS version: 7.1.2
    Capacity: 57.1GB
    Available: 30.7GB
    Thanks,
    Randy

    I'm trying to load ~20k songs onto my new iPhone 6 via iTunes Match, and I'm only about 1/20 along after two days
    I can't even track the progress using the iTunes Store app since the app either crashes immediately upon launch or doesn't show the "Downloads" tab (if I reboot the phone, I'll see the "Downloads" tab once with a badge indicating the number of songs remaining, but after locking up the app for a few minutes, the "Downloads" tab disappears until I reboot again).
    Instead, I get alerts every so often reporting "Unable to Purchase" as sync downloads occasionally fail. The only way I'm able to see that anything is still progressing at all is by going to Settings -> General -> About and observing the "Songs" number very slowly incrementing.
    Meanwhile, I cannot update any apps since app update downloads appear to queue up behind iTunes Match syncs instead of being entirely independent.
    I have been terribly disappointed with Apple's handling of iTunes Match.

  • Problem with iTunes Match and the song "This will be (an everlasting love)" from Natalie Cole

    Hello,
    I'd like to report a problem with iTunes Match and Natalie Cole's song "This will be (an everlasting love)".
    When I stream it or download it on another device I don't get Natalie Cole's song but another one from Maxine Nightingale (Right back where we started from).
    Please tell me if you have the same problem or how I can report this problem to apple.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    This is a user to user forum - not Apple. Contact them http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Alternatively if the song was purchased from iTunes, you may be able to report the problem by signing into you iTunes account on your computer. Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store

  • Will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit version of iTunes

    On 64 bit Windows 7, will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit installation of iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support to a new 64 bit version of the software when a new version comes out or will it try to install pure 32 bit versions of the software when I use Apple Software Update.
    Basically, is Apple Software Update smart enough to realize that the version of Windows 7 I am using is 64 bit and that I used the 64 bit package to install iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support, etc originally. I know that the software is not entirely 64 bit, but I would like to keep the parts that are.
    Thanks.

    The answer is "yes, ASU does download the 64-bit stuff on a 64-bit PC".
    I uninstalled iTunes, BonJour and Apple Mobile Device Support (all of which have at least some 64-bit componentry) on the 64-bit Vista system. Did an "iTunes + QuickTime 9.0.3" install via ASU. The 64-bit pieces were all in place after the ASU update. (AMDS program files, iTunes miniplayer stuff, iPod Service Module, 64-bit BonJour namespace provider, and so forth.)

    The program used to import and transcode the Can 5D footage but no longer does.   The program freezes often and looses my projects as well.  Hard to make a living when your editing program is on strike!

    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.

  • Improper file for Purity Ring - Obedear on iTunes Match

    I recently purchased Purity Ring's album Shrines.  Up to this morning I had only listened to the downloaded files on my home computer.  When I came to work today I started to listen to the album through iTunes Match, and was shocked when the song "Obedear" came on and some guy started rapping over the track.  It appears that somehow, someones attempt to become a superstar has become the default on the iTunes Match server instead of the original album track.  I have heard/experienced mix ups of iTunes Match playing uncensored versions of songs instead of censored versions or vice versa, but nothing like this where someone's crappy remix replaced the original file.  I doubt this is the first time though.
    Sorry, to create a whole thread just for this one song, but I have not seen any other place to submit this info to Apple.  Hopefully someone at Apple will see this and rectify the problem.
    I would think it would be wise for them to setup a service/portal where people can submit potential iTunes Match matching issues like this one.  If they have and I just did not see it, please feel free to point me in the right direction while also telling me I am blind and dumb. I expect nothing less of the internet.

    I had this problem too and contacted Apple about it. They essentially gave me some store credit to buy the iTunes version that is correct. If you purchase the version in the iTunes Store (so you have redundant tracks) and then delete the old version and remove it from iCloud, then the correct version (that you just bought off of iTunes) stays and everything is right with iTunes Match.

  • Created a playlist with all the songs I want on my iPhone, told iTunes Match to download them, but it got stuck in the middle of it

    Hi all,
    I wanted my iPhone to store most of my songs locally (about 4000 songs), and as there is no other way I know of, I created in iTunes (on my mac) a playlist containing all the songs I want on the iPhone. On the iPhone I then went to the bottom of the playlist and pressed the "download all" button.
    After a long time (a few days even though my 50Mbps broadband could handle it in less than 2 hours), the iPhone has now downloaded 80% of the songs. But it seems to be stuck at this point (no progress in the last 2 day). The songs which still need to be downloaded still have a "stop" icon next to them indicating they are in the download queue (as opposed to songs which I didn't request to download and have a cloud icon instead).
    If I click on one of the songs pending download, it doesn't play it and skips to the next song available locally, BUT it does download that missing song.
    The other thing is that now the "download all" button is never there at the bottom of a playlist/artist/album (I guess becaue there is a download batch pending).
    So I can't request to download the playlist again, and I can't download or cancel the missing songs one by one as there are too many.
    Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do? (Preferably not disabling iTunes Match and r-enabling it, I suspect the implementation is just bad for a large batch of downloads and it will do the same again after a few days)
    Cheers!
    Boris

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.
