HT5637 iTunes Match won't stop downloading!!!!

I have an enormous amount of music so I subscribed to iTunes Match. I made a mistake and tapped on "download all" albums under an artist. I DO NOT want to download all of this content. Long story short, I want to STOP ALL DOWNLOADING. I've tried turning on and off Airplane Mode. I've turning on and off iTunes Match in Music and in Settings>music. Nothing is working. How can I get this to stop?

Put your phone on Airplane Mode.

ITunes match won't stop trying to download songs

iOS 6 on iPhone 5
I set up with iTunes match and set it to sync one of my playlists. That playlist has 800 songs.
It started downloading the playlist. It was sloooooow, using phone data, even though I set it to use wifi and updated my carrier settings, until I set to not download over cellular data (it seems to try cellular BEFORE wifi for some reason).
800 songs are taking a LONG time to download.
During this time, I have received a number of app update notification, so I went into the app store and selected "update all".
It now won't update Apps as I believe it is waiting for the playlist to finish downloading before getting to the apps.
I turned off iTunes match and deleted all the music on the phone, but there seems to be no way to stop it from trying to download the entire playlist still, even with Match turned off.
I have received notifications from apps that are stuck in the "waiting"stage of the update, but cannot access the app to check the message.
Surely if it is forced to wait for music to finish downloading it should inform you that it can't start the app sync OR it should prioritize app updates over music.
I don't want to reset and start all over again as I am sure I will lose the content of the notification (a chat via skype) and I am missing important business information while it finishes downloading the music.
Any suggestions?

I've just found other posts like mine on the rignt side of the screen and have found the solution: Simply by desactivating iCoud in Preferences System and loging in again and now Calendar works fine.
Thank you Apple Support Community !

HELP! I got a new iPhone and want to download my music from my computer so I don't have to down load song by song on my phone. iTunes Match won't let me copy it from my computer. What do I do?

I have iTunes Match and it's been fine until now. I'm trying to download my music to my phone so I don't have to use the wifi to play it all the time.....but iTunes match won't let me copy from my computer without shutting it off. If I do that then turn it back on then I lose all the music anyway.
I'm so frustrated and can't download song by song to my phone.
help.

If you mean you want to sync your music from your computer to your iPhone you need to disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Go to Settings > Music and set to iTunes Match to OFF (not green). You may need to wait a few minutes for the change to register with iTunes. Connect the iPhone via USB/Thunderbolt and sync the music.

ITunes Match won't Download Entire Playlist

I have iTunes Match and want to download all tunes from certain playlists to my iPhone so that I have access to them locally rather than streaming.
If I hit "Download All" at the top of the playlist, it only downloads the first 25 songs and the rest just have a spinning red circle. The only way to download the remaining tunes is to manually tap each spinning red circle to get it started, which isn't practical with a playlist of 1,000+ tunes.
Any ideas?

Hi I have the same problem

HT204406 Itunes Match won't upload. I get error stating there was an error in the itunes store, please try again. I have tried again everyday for the last month and am still unable to use. Any ideas on why Match can't complete the 1st step of the process

For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music...
If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

ITunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network

As it says in the subject, iTunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network. For a while I thought the problem was with iTunes Match itself. And maybe it still is somehow. But I recently discovered the problem only occurs on my own home network. Any time I add a song to iTunes that isn't in the iTunes store, it should upload it. But instead it just loops in failed attempts to upload, always stopping and starting over at step 1. Occasionally I'll get error messages like -9810, but more often it'll just continue to loop for hours on end. I recently took my MBP to a coffee shop and used their wifi and tried it there, and the songs uploaded without any problem at all. I never used to have this issue over the entire year I was using iTunes Match. My only guess as to what might have caused the issue is when we downgraded the speed of our internet. I can't recall for certain whether that was the exact time my issues began, but it's the only possible change I can think of. I've tried rebooting the router, turning iTunes Match and Genius off and on, rebooting the computer, creating a new iTunes Library, all not solving my problem. Any other ideas?

There's a longer thread discussing this problem over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=120&tstart=0
What I posted there is that if I enable QOS on my router and limit my upload bandwidth (I used a cap of 1024 kilobits/second) then iTunes Match stops looping and will successfully upload songs and complete match.
There aren't any blocked ports, it's really just iTunes being a pig and oversaturating the internet connection to a point of failure.
Super frustrating, it's been a bug for months. I wish I had a better solution.

Itunes Match won't stream certain tracks after IOS 6.1 update

OK...so...I updated to IOS 6.1 and now itunes match won't stream ANYTHING over 45 minutes long if it's over a 3G connection and not wireless. Being that itunes match is primarily for use outside of the house i'm wondering; how can this be useful to anyone? I have a lot of shows on my itunes that are three hours long but now (due to the update) i can't listen to any of them...unless i'm in the house...which is not why i bought itunes match. Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?

I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me. This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those don't work - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>Store and sign in again.

Itunes match won't download music to my iPad

My music library is very extensive. around 4000 songs. I have a brand new iPad Air 2 and Match will not download songs.
Os 8.3 running also. I've tried syncing and it won't do that either. I give up

First trouble shooting step is to always simply quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then launch it again and try to download the tracks again. If that doesn't work, then stop iTunes Match while holding down the Option key and quit iTunes. Wait a few seconds then relaunch it and start iTM. After adding the computer and letting the scan complete you ought to be able to download the tracks.
Once you get the tracks downloaded immediately purchase an external HDD that is 2 to 3 times the size of the internal HDD of the computer and start using the backup software of your choice to backup all your personal data. iTunes Match is not a backup service. You are responsible for making backups of your data.

HT204406 iTunes Match was set up but wouldn't download any of my music. I turned iTunes Match off, deauthorised and then reauthorised, restarted iTunes. Now iTunes match won't turn on - I get the "Add this computer screen" but it says can't add for 83 day

iTunes Match was set up on my new MacBook Pro. Today, it wouldnt download any of my music, so I followed advice, switched on iTunes Match and switched it on again. When this didnt help, I deauthorized the computer, logged out of iTunes, and relogged in again. I have reauthroized the computer and reset the View/Options.
However, now I cant connect to iTunes Match or iCloud at all. The screen asking me to Add this computer comes up, when I click and enter my Mac account details I get the error message:
"You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 83 days."
However, this was the iTunes account with which I set up iTunes Match.
Anyone got any suggestions?

How do you stop itunes video download on ipad? No pause button appears. Won't stop downloading, over and over again.

I purchased a tv episode on my ipad. It started to download, after an hour it gave an error message. The episode appeared in videos, I watched it. Then I discovered it was still downloading. It gets up to the end, then starts all over again. Nothing I do will stop it. There is no pause button, nothing happens when I swipe it. I've tried everything, turning off, signing out of appleid, it basically eats up my bandwith nonstop and I can no longer use my ipad. How do I get this thing to stop downloading?

to the right by search library theres an arrow there click on it : it will show you what it is downloading , from there you can pause and select all and delete them but still will continue to download them if you tell itunes to check for downloads. that download engien is crazy i tell yeah.
no matter what we do it will still download them trust me i tryed everything and i also went to icloud to see if it was there but to what i see is that there is no apps there this is some crazy itune program that needs to remade.

ITunes won't stop downloading TV shows

Last December I was going on vacation and began downloading the entire season of Pan-Am. After watching one episode, I decided to stop the downloads. Ever since, every time I connect my iPhone to my laptop or even just start iTunes, it continues to try downloading the episodes. I have deleted the episodes, I have gone into the iTunes folder and deleted them, and nothing has worked. I cannot stop downloading them! I pause them every time I open it, but I would like to stop completely.

This did not work for me.
Nothing works for me.
Sometimes when I load iTunes, it tries to automatically download all sorts of TV shows I purchased.
Even Season 2 episodes of Dexter I watched long ago.
Not every time. Maybe every other time? Or every third time I load iTunes.
It seems so arbitrary, that I think it's seriously trying to mess with me.
It also happens when I select "Check for Available Downloads" --
I don't have a good enough internet connection to download 57 gigabytes worth of TV I don't want to watch.
Even if I delete Dexter from iCloud.
Even if I pause the downloads and mark them as watched.
Nothing works.
Dexter will not go away.
I want to murder iTunes.

ITunes Match won't let me download a "Matched" song, they're greyed out?

I'm trying to download a bunch of "Matched" songs but iTunes Match will not let me download them?
This is on my 15" rMBP using wifi.
Ideas?

It appears that some songs I can't access on my iPhone 5 either. Some are matched and other are purchased songs.
I can't even play them on my phone. I can see the small equalizer graph move like it's playing some thing but no sound.

ITunes match won't download all songs from CD

Im having trouble downloading certain songs with iTunes match. There's a few albums I uploaded to iTunes from a cd that are not able to download one or more songs to my devices. For example, one album has 13 songs, but one song is greyd out. I don't understand why that is. It's the same with a few other albums as well. All albums with this issue are albums that were CDs I uploaded to iTunes.
My computer is authorized, so I'm lost. Any ideas out there? Thanks
