I am uploading music from my older Mac. How do I disconnect it from iTunes Match and connect new Mac?

I just purchased a new Mac and I want it to be the only computer associated with my iTunes Match. I want it to be able to have access to all my playlists so that my iPhone can be sync'd via the new computer. How do I do all this? Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help. I took the time to go through all the songs saved on my Time Machine backup drive used by the older machine and drag those music files I want to keep. Now I'm using an old hard drive to backup up the entire iTunes folder on the old Mac to be able to keep those files until I'm sure I have all that I want.
Everything is now in iTunes Match and my iPhone seems to have sync'ed successfully. Now I'd like to delete those files stored in iTM from my hard drive and just keep them in the Cloud. Is this a good idea? I'm thinking I can save a lot of hard drive space.
My iPhone does have Match turned on. So I should be able to keep everything sync'd just by using iTunes Match, right?
Thanks so much again for your help!

  • HT204406 My HDD crashed which held all of my music.  Can I recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to a new HDD?

    My HDD crashed and it contained all of the music from which iTunes and iMatch pulled files from.  Is there a way to recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to my new HDD?

    My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files.  I have not had to reinstall iTunes software.  The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music.  I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
    I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
    The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
    Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

    Hello dolladp
    If you enable iTunes Match on the old computer, it will match and upload all the files. When that process is complete then all you have to do is enable iTunes Match on the new computer and download if you choose to the new computer.

    How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

    Hi,
    If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

  • HT4914 Import music from ITunes Match

    Several months ago I had to reformat my hard drive on my PC.
    I lost some music which is still on my iPod touch.
    I haven't been able to sync my iPod without losing music.
    Can I use iTunes match to upload music from my iPod and get it back onto my PC?
    Is there any other way to get the music from the iPod back onto my PC?
    Also have music on an iPad which is on PC but not on iPod touch.
    Will iTunes Match allow me to have access to all music on all devices?

    In iTunes, control click on the clip you want to use and select Show in Finder.
    You want to open the file with Quicktime Pro 7, which is probably still in your computer. In the Finder go to the menu Go > Utilities and look for QuickTime Player 7.app.
    Launch it and open your iTunes file.
    In Quicktime Pro, export the file and AIF 48kzh, and once complete, import that file into FCE.

  • TS4124 retrieve music from itunes match

    My Lacie 1TB hard drive has stopped working so I have had it replaced at the local Apple shop.  I have a MacBook Air 2011 64GB.  So all my media was stored on the hard drive.  I used a USB superdrive I had purchased to rip all my music from my CD collection and put in itunes.  I then purchased itunes match and sold all my CD's.  Could i delete my itunes library given i have no access to these tracks anymore and download my songs from itunes match onto the new Lacie hard drive?

    "I used a USB superdrive I had purchased to rip all my music from my CD collection and put in itunes.  I then purchased itunes match and sold all my CD's."
    For the music you ripped from CD, once you've sold the disc you no longer have rights to posess a digital copy. Keeping a digital copy after selling your physical copy is called piracy. You cannot legitimize pirated works, even with iTunes match, but you can purchase the tracks from the iTunes store or any other digital music vendor, or re-purchase the discs to maintain your rights to the music.
    The other media, purchased from the iTunes store or other digital merchants, is still legitimate. Recovering your matched or uploaded tracks is as easy as downloading them in iTunes.

  • All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive?

    All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps. 

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

    Don't know anything about McAffe Enterprise Server, but if your employer is preventing you from using iCloud backup there's really no way to use it without removing this from your phone.  Unless you can convince the IT guys to make an exception.

  • How to download music from iTunes match to iPad 2

    I'm going off the grid (temporarily) and traveling to an area without cell phone or wifi.  I would love to listen to music on my 32 gb iPad 2 (IOS 8) on those long nights.  My music is loaded on iTunes Match.  Can it be downloaded to the iPad so I can listen directly from the device?  Even better, can I select the albums I'd like to download without downloading everything?  Any tips would be appreciated!

    Yes, but you must turn off iTunes Match on your device and sync the music from iTunes on your computer.

  • I'm having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes store to my new MacBook Air

    I am having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes to my new MacBook Air

    What problem are you having ?
    You should be able to copy your library from your old computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing to copy it over. Or copy it from your backup of your downloads/library and add it via File > Add To Library.
    You might also be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage,or by going into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox - it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading.

  • Post Restore, how to recover all music from iTunes Match?

    Hello,
    I recently restored my iPhone 4S, and the back up went smooth. I restored the phone from a back up on iTunes instead of from iCloud (since it would be faster), and now I'm stuck - for my music, it won't restore it from my iTunes back up or iTunes Match. The music is visible with the cloud icons next to all my songs and albums.
    I know that iTunes Match handles the music, and thus I can't control anything from the tab on my iPhone in iTunes, but is there any way to push all the music I have with iTunes Match back to my device?
    Or do I have to tell my phone to download every album?
    I feel like I'm missing some setting here, or some "Download All" option but I can't find anything.
    Thanks!

    So... I figured I should try to turn off iTunes Match in iTunes, and on my phone. Tried that, synced again, and I can push my music from iTunes to my phone the old fashioned way.
    Phew. I'll reenable Match after this is all sorted out!
    Hope this helps someone else out in the future.
