I have no iTunes match and genius 5.0.1

One day I was bored and I was fooling around with the music settings on my iPhone 4S (5.0.1). I (by accident) turned on iTunes match when I don't even have it. It asked me for the password and I didn't know that it was for iTunes match so I put it in and it told me that I didn't have a match account. Suddenly after that my genius toggle in my music app went away and I can't get it back. Help?

I didn't realize I had to delete everything and sync again. WHEW! Thank you so much. That worked.

HT5848 I have purchased Itunes Match, and go to Settings/Music and it tells me to subcribe to Itunes Match. I click on that and it says I am subscribed, but I can not get it to quit playing ADs.

Figured it out. Must sign out from Itunes and then back in and it works.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You cannot use iCloud.com on a mobile device, only on a computer. Documents in iCloud are available via the apps themselves on a mobile device.

ITunes Match and Genius options all greyed (grayed) out under 'Store' menu

I'm using iTunes 10.5.2.11 and have signed up for iTunes Match. - for the last couple of weeks it's been 'working' in so much as it has already scanned my Library and matched/uploaded just under 5000 tunes. I can see these on iPhone/iPad/Apple TV. I can't say more than that as generally I don't think Match 'works' very well at all, but that's another story!
However....for the last 2 days I can no longer get iTunes to match any recently added content. I've added around 20 CDs and it starts the scan process, but just sits there with the progress bar at around 95% complete with the message "Matching your music with songs in the iTunes store..." The iCloud status of all songs in the library is 'waiting'. They're pretty mainstream titles, so I can't see a problem matching them.
When I look at the main iTunes manu under the 'Store' dropdown, the items Turn off iTunes Match, Update iTunes Match, and Update Genius are all greyed out and there's nothing I can do.
I'm signed in with my normal account, have tried logging out/in and restarting my computer and iTunes but nothing seems to change.
Any ideas???

I'm using iTunes 10.5.2.11 and have signed up for iTunes Match. I am having the same issue. After letting it go all night I am stuck on the "matching your music with songs in the iTunes store" step with 1086 of 1110 songs checked.
Also, this is my situation exactly: "I should have added, the 'problem albums' and some of the artwork (hit and miss as usual) are visible on all my portable devices with all the track listings, but are all greyed out and have no 'cloud' icon next to them. Obviously they won't play"
Dont see why it should matter, but unlike others here, I do have a lot of non-generic music, album riips, etc. And I have a lot of my own vinyl artwork scanned myself.
What to do ...?

ITunes Match and Genius Error

Hi Everyone,
I tried to activate iTunes Match on a second PC (Win 7) with iTunes 10.5.2 after I successfully activated it on my first PC.
Everytime I start iTunes Match I get following error (translated from German):
"The Genius-results can not be updated. The required file could not be found."
Same when I try to activate Genius.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

I have iOS 5 and I have purchased iTunes match, but the iCloud icon in iPad settings is not activated what do I need to do to get it to operate

I have purchased iTunes match and iCloud icon appears in my ipad2 settings, but it is not activated. What do I need to do to get it to operate?

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.

When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
Help greatly appreciated.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy. Can anyone help

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

HT204146 How can I subscribe to iTunes Match and have all of my 7,000+ songs on my iPhone?

I bought a 128GB iPhone so I would have room for all my music. Now it's not actually there because I subscribe to iTunes Match. I don't want to have to download it over wifi/cell to listen to it. Should I just unsubscribe from iTunes Match? I don't use if very often.

Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

My wife and I are thinking about getting match but we have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing our individual apps

my wife andI are thinking about getting match so that all of our music is in one place. However, we are currently have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing the different apps that we have accumulated over time, also she has more storage than I do and we are a little worried about that. Does anybody have any ideas.

You won't lose any apps but one of you will lose the ability to update apps on the device.
For you to share iTunes Match all devices must be signed into the same iTunes Store Apple ID that was used to purchase the service. This means any Apps that were purchased with the other Apple ID cannot be updated on the device as a device can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days.
I know it's not what you want to hear, but my suggestion is to simply stay with the system you have. It will cause you less headaches.

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.

iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

I am using iTunes Match, and wish to restore from the cloud to itunes. Why do I have to select one at a time to download?

I am using iTunes Match, and had to restore all of my music (.3000 songs). Problem is, I don't see where can restore them all at once. I can do it for all purchased items from the Cloud, but not for songs/content that I added on my own from CD's. I have had to click the cloud icon for each song....really, my hand is about to cramp. Is there a restore all function for non-purchased songs? If not, it needs to be added to the Match software.
Thanks

Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud. Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

I have no iTunes match and genius 5.0.1
