I turned on itunes match on my iphone, but still seeing lots of artists without the cloud icon???

Hi ...
I turned on itunes match on my iphone, selected "enable" and first turned OFF the slider that says "show ALL music" ... I still saw a bunch of artists (about 100)
Then I turned the slider to ON and saw about 600 artists (as it should be), but those 100 artists do NOT have the cloud icon next to them (meaning that somehow the music is actually "ON" the iphone) ...
can someone explain?? I thought it would be empty except for icloud, and then the things I download from icloud??

If they do not have the cloud next to them on your iOS device, it means that the song is cached on your device. As your device runs low on space, it clears the cached songs and you'll see the cloud next to it. Each time you listen to a song, the song is actually downloaded while you listen. Next time you listen, it's off the device, not the cloud.

Can I purchase and turn on iTunes match from my iPhone 5 with out a computer? And if so how?

Can I purchase and turn on iTunes Match from my iPhone 5 with out a computer? And if so how?

You can't do it from your phone. If they are iTunes purchased songs then you should be able to copy them to your laptop via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources, anf i you haven't got them on your backup of your library, then you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page which might work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Error message when turning on iTunes Match on my iPhone 5

When I try to turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone 5, i get the following error message:
"You are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe."
I have subscribed. and I updated earlier today. I signed in and out of sharing.

Reading some older threads from 2012 and 2011 it appears the problem was present even then. Part of the problem was due to people using multiple or different account id's on the various devices. In my case, I only have one ID and it is the same on all devices yet the iPhone and iPad are still throwing the same error when I try turning on iTunes Match. This is very frustrating . . . any help out there? Thanks.

Hi,
Why can't you hear your music on your mac book? Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribe to iTunes Match.

HT5637 No way to turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1

I subscribed to iTunes Match today in iTunes on my PC. My iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 doesn't have a "iTunes Match" button, but a link labeled "Subscribe to iTunes Match". Will the button appear later? When I click the link and click the Subscribe button on the iPhone, it says I'm already subscribed and to go to Settings to turn on iTunes Match.

An iTunes Match button has (finally) appeared. Never mind :-)

I cant turn off itunes match on my iphone

i recently reset my iphone to factory settings. Everything seems to be set up correctly but when I try to sync music from Itunes to my Iphone it tells me Itunes match is on. On Itunes itself it says match is off. On my phone it says its on and when I toggle it off it goes right back on. Is there a way to disable itunes match altogether...it stinks.

I have turn off iTunes Match in my iCloud and my Music settings. I want to download from my Mac the old school way. But when I go back to settings, iTunes Match is back on by itself. How do you turn this off????????

I have installed iTunes Match on my iPhone & laptop. May I now safely delete the music files from my phone and still access my music from the phone? Thanks

HT204406 I turned on iTunes Match 8 days ago, but all it does it restart the syncing process again half way through - any ideas?

So, 8 days ago we decided to subscribe to iTunes Match. It's been trying to sync ever since (i.e. it gets half way through step 2 and then restarts the whole process again). Any idea as to why it's doing this? Any ideas as to what we can do to fix this?

sounds like you may just want to re-match your library.
easiest way to do so if it never finished it to turn iTunes match off, then back on (and add this computer). that will analyze your library once more and upload or match any songs that need to be.
Store > Turn off iTunes Match
then
Store > Turn on iTunes Match

Hey there Dollyonline,
Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like iTunes Match playlists are not syncing correctly to your iPad, even though you have already toggled iTunes Match off then on again. I would next turn iTunes Match back off, then close all the apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone then try turning on iTunes Match again to test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTunes when I try to update my iTunes Match. I have turned off iTunes Match, then reinstalled it, but that does not seem to work. I also get another Error Code (4010) sometimes. Can someone offer advice?

I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTuens when try to update my iTunes Match. I have turned off Match, then reconnected, but the code keeps coming. So does Error Code 4010 at times. Can someone help?

iTunes store, App Store, iTunes Match and various other services have been down for the past several hours. Apple's System Status page at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ now shows them back up but they are STILL NOT up for me or many other users. The error codes 4000 series refer to connection errors, I've gotten several from 4001-4010 all day. We're kind of at the mercy of Apple at this point. It would be nice if they would give us some notification about their problems since we are paying for their service.

Simple question....if I subscribe to iTunes match on my iPhone but don't have Wi-Fi or cell access available - how can I listen to music on my iPhone??

Am on the cloud and subscribe to iTunes match - if I am traveling and don't have access to wi-fi or cell svc how do I listen to music on my iPhone ??

Found my answer from a previous post - never mind and thanks

I have Itunes Match and want to know how to put music back into the Cloud after I have downloaded it and finished listening to it. I need the space on my Iphone/Ipad back after I'm finished listening to the music I wanted.

I have Itunes Match and want to know how to put music I have downloaded from the Cloud back in the Cloud for storage after listening to it.

TThis answered my question - thanks very much

My old Apple ID won't allow me to use the old password to log out of the cloud. I can't use the new one, either. The new Apple ID is in the iTunes and App store. But I can't change it on the cloud without logging out. Which I can't do.

I can't use the old Apple id and Apple password on my new Iphone 6 - I can use the new ones. But I can't access the cloud in the meantime. The iTunes and App Stire has the new Apple ID, but I can't get into the settings to change it on the iCloud. It asks for the Old Apple ID and password, which doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change the old Apple ID on the iPhone in the settings for the iCloud?

First, try the new password. If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Why isn't ATV able to play my movie rental through iTunes on my Mac?-I can see it on ATV through the computer icon but it won't play.

So I've had my Gen 2 ATV for a little less than a year..it's been great...up to last week! Now nothing downloads and all I get is ''able to view in 90 hours...all week it's not gone under 70 hours. So I went to Itunes on my Mac and downloaded it again thinking it should show up as a rental through the computer on ATV..it does it's right there...but can I play it? Heck no! First it gets the icon showing its buffering..or whatever it's doing and it just stays there doing nothing..then I tried it again an hour later and I get an error message that I need to authorize my computer....I go back to check in Itunes and of course the computer is authorized.
I've just spent $12 on the same movie trying to get it to work and I'm just so over reading in all the forums but finding nothing that will fix this issue. Does Apple even care? Sooo many people with problems and no help to fix the issues. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION!
How about Apple just fixing whatever it is that's wrong? I can only think it has something to do with the last update I did since nothing has worked properly with movies since then.

Hello there, Abigail.
It sounds like you are unable to watch an HD download becuase of the message saying that your display must support HDCP. The following Knowledge Base article offers up nformation on why this message can pop up:
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3354
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a security feature requiring the use of HDCP certified products in order to display digital media like High-defintion (HD) video. In iTunes for Windows, in order to view HD content, both the display hardware (computer screen, LCD, external monitor, and so on) and video card driver must support HDCP. For additional information on purchasing and viewing HD Videos, refer to iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD Videos.
