I sometimes receive commercials on iTunes radio even though I have Match.  Any idea why?

I sometimes receive commercials on iTunes radio even though I have Match.  Any idea why?  This has happened primarily on my iPhone.  It is my understanding that Match provides commercial free listening.

I have/had this problem too.  I have spent time corresponding with iTunes support and they can't fix it.  They had me call tech support and tech support said it is not their problem.  They refunded my Match subscription but I may just try to sign up for it again.  My theroy is that I have been a match subsciber from day one so when iTunes radio was introduced it failed to recognize I pay for Match.  I may be wrong but Apple clearly doesn't care if I pay them or Pandora for the commercial free radio so there is no motivation to solve the problem.
It is worth mentioning that it only played commercials on my desktop, not on the iPhone or Pad as far as I can recall.

    Disable any Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer, then run the update.

  • 8gb of music even though I have Match?

    So I'm looking at the space used on my iPhone and even though I use Match I still have over 8 GB used by Audio. I've removed all my Podcasts and have nothing else on there but maybe 5-6 short audio recordings. How do I remove that music?

  • HT3798 my 1 week old new ipod classic doesnt seem to play certain albums/songs that play fine in itunes and fine on my old ipod. any ideas why?

    i have just purchased a new ipod classic about a week ago and it wont play certain songs/albums and stops them halfway through the track. if you fast forward past the spot it plays and it plays perfectly on itunes and on my old i[od. any ideas?? HELP

    Since the iPod is only a week old, I would consider returning it to Apple or wherever you purchased it from and showing them what is happening.  If they decide that the unit is faulty, they'll swap it out for you at no cost.

  • Radio has commercials even though I have match

    I have Itunes Match turned on yet I'm getting commercials when listening to itunes Radio. This just started recently. Is there some setting I need to change to stop getting commercials?

    Hello b.death.davidson,
    It may help to turn off iTunes Match (under the Store menu -> Turn Off iTunes Match), then turn it back on.

  • Just moved from a PC to a Macbook Pro and now my Ipod Classic gets stuck on iTunes "syncing" even though I have it set to manual. Please help!

    Please help. I recently bought my first Mac (a Macbook Pro 15-in Mid 2012) and my iPod classic will not work properly when I plug it into my computer and open the newest version of iTunes. It played just fine on my old PC with iTunes 10. I have not updated the software on the iPod since I bought it a few years ago and even if I wanted to update it I couldn't becuse once I plug it in it gets stuck saying "syncing with iTunes." Well, I have it manually set so that I can add/delete whenever I want. So I don;t understand why it is giving me  this message and getting stuck. I've looked around the web and tried to install iTunes 10 but because I have the newest version already installed it will not let me replace it with 10.
    Does anyone know how this can be resolved?
    Thanks.

    Apple doesn't call its portable machines 'notebooks' instead of 'laptops' for nothing - using a MacBook Pro in your lap can cause some burns on your skin, poor ventilation, etc. So use it on a hard flat surface - not your lap, pillows, bedclothes, etc.
    As for burning a hole in your screen, you'll have to revisit the Apple Store and see how much they would charge for a new screen. It's likely to be a bit expensive.
    And if you've Safari set to re-open tabs when you restart, you can disable this feature -> Safari-Preferences-General.
    Good luck,

  • Everytime I go abroad I have problems with my iphone in that contacts text me and I dont receive the message or the message land in my email about three weeks later. Some contacts I cant send or receive messages from even though I could before Any Ideas?

    Hi,
    Everytime I go abroad I have problems with my contacts, some people send me messages and I dont receive them. I sent them messages and they are not received either. Their phones and mine show them as sent, but they are never received. Sometimes the text messages sent to arrive in my email about three weeks later. Any ideas how I can resolve this and get back to messaging my friends as normal?
    Thanks T

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • HT4009 My in app purchase tells me there is an error in purchasing the upgrade, even though I have sufficient funds. Why is this?

    I was given a $15 gift card, but as a South African, could not use it in the local I tunes store. I changed my address to an American one, which let me upload the gift card and browse the US store, but when it came to buying an app or purchasing an in-app upgrade, it told me there was an error and I should get support.
    Any ideas?

    You will have to contact iTunes Support to get help:

  • Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

    Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
    The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
    Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
    Many thanks !

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
