I just ran iTunes match on my library and only 31 out of 1570 songs loaded

New to forums and mac, so not sure if I am doing this right but seems to be my last resort for support on my apple products according to Apple. Having a multitude of problems doing just basic things on my mac and not even sure where to turn. I have a mini and ipad and synched them last night so now ALL my music and ALL my photos live on my ipad now and it is FULL. Thought I would lighten the load on my ipad by subscribing to iTunes Match so the music would reside in the 'cloud' but after iTunes chugged on through the night last night, only 31 songs of 1570 song library has the little cloud symbol. Was told by Apple that as soon as I get them formatted correctly it should all work like magic. Not a clue what I need to do. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I don't think you're crazy.
I think that you have fallen into the same trap as many other posters.
First and foremost, you can only use Match on a computer that has itunes with your music on your hard drive (or extenal drive). If you had not applied match to your old computer, you have lost your music except for songs previously purchased from the itunes store.
If you have a back up, you can restore the music to your new computer.

I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

I just downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and I am trying to burn songs onto a cd that I had purchased previously and I am getting an error message that states I must authorize this computer. What does that mean?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

I just purchased iTunes match on my account and now all of my previous purchases from the past few years are gone. Why?

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.

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.

Just bought itunes match now my music is gone

I just bought itunes match and now all of my music is gone from my library. HELP

OMG NO!!!! I have heard of this happening. What in the H? How many songs did u have?

Hi, I purchased itunes match in order to convert the previously purchased songs that reflected copyright and would not copy to other device. Ran itunes match however, I can not find a way to obtain my 62 matched songs to place on hard drive to copy.

Donna,
You have to delete the DRM copies from your library first.
See the section "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?" in this guide: iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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 just got iTunes Match and I would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data?

I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

Hi,
Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

Hi CWaggoner,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Music disappeared after i ran itunes match

almost half of my music disappeared from my desktop folders after I ran iTunes match. Now iTunes can't find the files to play them. What happened? and most importantly, Why? I've had a lot of this music for over 6 years

I have the same problem. And it feels like it is getting worse. I do not understand what is going on.

HT4914 I have just purchased iTunes Match...Can I download songs from the cloud onto my iPad?

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.

HT5637 I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now? Do I delete all music on my iphone and how do I then see the music that's stored in the cloud?

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.

ITune Match 25,000+ library

Can you pay more money to iTune Match 25,000+ library? Or can I have more than 1 iTune Match Accounts?

mostly42 wrote:
Even if they are songs that would match they still count in your 25,000 limit. It's only songs purchased from iTunes store that don't count against the max.
Actually, this is incorrect.
The license for iTunes Match states,
"iTunes Match works with libraries that contain up to 25,000 songs which are either not currently available on the iTunes Service, or (ii) not purchased from the iTunes Service with your Account. Songs with quality less than 96 kbps or that are not authorized for your computer are not eligible for iTunes Match."
There are some issues still to be worked out so hopefully, this will get sorted.
