I cleaned up several albums in iTunes only to have Match wipe all of my changes out.  How can I alter things in iTunes and have the changes stay?

I signed up for Match but when I added new albums, they failed to appear.  Ultimately I got a message to Sign Out and then Sign In to the Apple Store tab under iTunes.  I then added the computer back to Match.  It went through the process and uploaded the new albums (or matched them) but it also reversed hours of work I had done it editing my library and cleaning up track lists and song titles.
HOW CAN I edit/maintain my library without Match wiping every change out?????
And when will the Cover Art issue be solved???

Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

  • Has anyone updated an app via the store only to have the app stay in Update Available status?

    Uupdated the app called ChordProBuddy and the update remains in the ready to update status on my App Store Dock Icon and in the update  window of the App Store. It will not go away after the download is completed.
    Any Suggestions?

    Thanks for the fast reply. I have done a restart and deleted the app. That resulted in not having the app and still having the problem. The vendor support was great. He sent  me another app and I installed it and the app is now working but the "update " just stays there.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • I have several albums that iTunes has split; how do I join them into one ?

    I have several albums that iTunes has slit up. How can I put them back together?

    Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

    i purchased an album from itunes,2 of the tracks only partly downloaded.itunes have since sent me the tracks again but they wont sinc with my ipod,which still has the defective tracks on it.any help would be great.

    First, I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod (although it sounds like it might be a problem with your iTunes or the files themselves).
    For info on restoring and iPod, see this:

    Downloaded and album from itunes and only half of the songs will download to my ipod.   Error message says file cannot be converted.  How do I fix this or get a refund from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • I bought an album on iTunes, and I can only hear half of songs.

    'Hold Me Down' -You Me At Six.
    I bought the whole album on iTunes, but in the middle of some songs, they stop and it switches to another song. It's like it only downloaded half of the songs. what do i do?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Hi I've download an album of iTunes and played it quite often and now I've noticed there is only a few tracks highlited and the rest of the tracks won't play can anyone help .

    Hi I've downloaded an album of iTunes and played it quite often but I've noticed today that 3tracks are highlited to play and all the rest are not can any one point me in the right direction on why this as happened .

    Do you use iTunes Match? I don't use it, but in case somebody else joins in that might be important to know. I don't know how iTM affects this type of thing on the iPad.
    My suggestion would be to delete the album and download it again, if you can't get the songs to play. Many iTunes purchase can be downloade again for free when using the same Apple ID and if the item is still available in iTunes and the free downloads feature is available where you live.
    This will tell you what content you can download again for free where you live.

    I am not a big downloader of Music from iTunes, but I have one song that gives me fits and I just delete it and download it again. Not the ideal situation, but it works.

  • I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
    The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

    I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).

  • TS1424 i downloaded an album off itunes and one song out of 11 does not play? what to do?

    I bought and downloaded an album off itunes and all only 10 of the 11 songs play.  One song will not play, it gets skipped right over.  How do it get that one song to play, how can i re download just that one song?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • So I preordered a album on iTunes and it was priced at 9.99 and when I preordered it bought the two available songs for down load in that album do I still need to pay the 9.99 or will I pay less since it bought the two song when I preordered

    So I preordered a album on iTunes and it was priced at 9.99 and when I preordered it bought the two available songs for down load in that album do I still need to pay the 9.99 or will I pay less since it bought the two song when I preordered

    If the two tracks have been released early then you will only be charged for the remainder when the actual album is released i.e. $9.99 minus the cost of those two tracks.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714 :
    Some pre-orders include songs that are available for download immediately. When you pre-order, you will be charged only for these songs and you will receive them immediately.
