I have just purchased iTunes match, but my music is still taking up 4GB space on my iPhone, which is what it was doing before. How do I clear space?
I thought that I understood that once music uploads or matches to iTunes match, that my library would no longer be stored (using space) on my iPhone. Before the purchase, my library took 4GB space. Since the purchase, I haven't downloaded/listened to any tracks, but it is still showing as using 4GB space on my phone. And 2 days after the purchase, out of 1364 songs, 734 remain on my device, and not in Cloud (evident when selecting to show only tracks that have been downloaded to device). So why has approximately only half of my library been stored in Cloud, and why, despite around half of my library having gone to Cloud, is it still using 4BG space on my phone???
Hi,
On your iPhone Go to Settings > General > Manage Storage > Music - this tells you amount used for All songs and lists the music on your phone. You can delete music from here.
All your music in the cloud should now show download arrow but when you play a track, it is downloaded.

I have just purchased iTunes Match...Can I download songs from the cloud onto my iPad as I have dj software on the iPad and the song files have to be downloaded onto the iPads hard drive for it to play
Yes, you certainly can. You just tap the iCloud download button to download the tracks.

You must be signed into the iTunes Store on your iPhone using the same Apple ID with which your purchased the iTunes Match service.

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?
On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed. -
I have just got iTunes match. It appears that since joining and starting it some tunes have been deleted from my library. They are shown in the listing but iTunes can no longer locate the files. Any suggestions?
If they are showing in the Videos app with a cloud then go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and set Videos (under the 'Show All') heading 'off' - you might (depending upon which country that you arein) have a similar button for music and the Music app.

I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. My iCloud is turned on. All my music initially did go to my iPhone
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there. iTunes Match is a different service from iCloud.

Hi
I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now. Do I delete all the music on my iphone and ipad and if so how? Once I've done that how do I find the music on the cloud on my phone/ipad?Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

I've have just purchased FCP-X, but it is taking a very long time to install. It has been at it for over an hour. Does that seem right? Thanks.
It's about a 2.5G file. How fast is your connection? There should be a progress bar in the App Store next to the app. You should also see a progress bar on your computer, depending on the OS.

I have just installed Qicltime Pro but when I edit a video file and try to set the In and Out points, it does not show any way to set them. It trims the video down to the one point on display. Have I installed the software correctly?
QuickTime Player 7 Pro is in the Utilities folder.
To set in and out points set the position you want in the timeline and tap the i key. Move to the end of your selection and tap the o key. To step frame by frame move the playhead by tapping the left/right arrow keys. -
I have the lastest itunes software but I'm trying to restore a backup onto the new iphone 5s and I get an error message and cannot restore? Any advice
If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

As the title states, I purchased the new iTunes match service and all of my purchased history items are gone. When I go to the iTunes store on my iPhone, iPad, or Macbook the purchased history is blank. I've been a customer for quite a while and have many purchases on my account so I'm just wondering what exactly happened to them.
I enabled iTunes match and disabled it and still have not seen any difference. Anyone?This is a known problem. Numerous people have reported Purchase Histories missing from their account (Including Music, TV, Apps etc) - check the other iTunes threads.
Hope this helps. -
My wife just purchased iTunes Match.Can she match her iphone itunes to my library?
my wife recently purchased iTunes Match to use on her IPhone 5 and i have authorized her to use my itunes library. we synced her iphone to my library and it took all her music off and put on the music from my library. What we really wanted to do was to have her have access to my whole library like i do with iTunes Match so we could have the same music.is this possible?
No. That is not what iTunes Match is about.
iTunes Store- Subscribing to iTunes Match
iCloud- iTunes Match
iTunes Match is cloud storage for your iTunes music library. It reads your library and matches tracks to those already available in the Apple music library. If you have a track it cannot locate, then it uploads the track from your library. You end up with all of your music stored in the cloud for your use.
She cannot sync to your library nor you to hers. You have different Apple IDs and different accounts. You cannot use her music nor she yours. All you can do is share it via Home Sharing. She cannot access your iTunes Match library without your Apple ID. Same for her. But she can have her own iTunes Match by purchasing it for herself with her Apple ID.
