I use iTunes match but want all of my music on my IPhone

I use I Tunes match for my music library on my Mac. However, I want all of the music downloaded to my iPhone 6 so I can play it whenever I want. What is the best/quickest way to accomplish that (after I have dealt with duplicates on my Mac, which are driving me crazy).

I guess my first question is if you don't have enough music to max out your storage on your phone why would you subscribe to match in the first place? The reason I subscribed to match is because I couldn't get everything on my phone and I wanted the ability to be able to manage what was on my phone from my phone. None the less that is not your question.
You simply have to press the cloud at the top of every artist and let it download. If you have a lot of music then it will take a long time. If you don't have a lot of music it should go pretty quick. Just press the cloud at the top of every artist/album you want and the songs in that section will download.

I want to use iTunes Match but want to make make sure music will be downloaded from my iPhone (which has all my music) and not just my MacBook to the cloud.

Hi,
All your music need to be in your iTunes library on your computer. You will need to copy your music from your iPhone to your computer.

Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.
When streaming music from the cloud the Music app caches a temporary copy for later playback.

Did you try turning off iTunes Match (Store>Turn off iTunes Match), then turning it back on?

I purchased itunes match to free up 6gigs of music on my iphone. Can I delete my library to free up all that space?

I purchased iTunes Match to transfer all 6gigs of music from my storage to icloud.
The download is complete and all music has been transferred to icloud but on my iPhone I'm still using the 6gigs which defeats the whole purpose.
Question: can I delete the music on my iphone and if yes, how do I then use the icloud to access my music via iphone??
Thank you,
FT

Yes! It's very simple.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Usage, and under the Storage area, find Music. You may have to tap Show all Apps. Tap on it, then hit Edit, and then delete the data. This will delete all songs from your iPhone.
Then go to Settings > Music and turn ON iTunes Match. Go into the Music app, and all your songs will appear, ready to play/download, and you will have freed up 6 GB.
Enjoy!

No you didn't.

Except for anything you did not purchase in iTunes Store.
Only you iTunes purchases are in the cloud.
Reada the article that brenden dv posted to copy your iTunes library to new computer.

iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I recently sold my Mac Air to a friend, he wants to use iTunes Match, but it says he can't for another 40 days because it was attached to my account. How can I get that turned off so that he can use his account and turn on iTunes match.

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

HT204406 I am using iTunes Match and want to "uncheck" songs so that I can use my shuffle and not hear every song in my itunes.

Can I "uncheck" songs in my iTunes while using iTunes Match? I want to use my shuffle and not hear every song in my itunes. I use a MacBook Pro, iphone 4S and an ipad.

I know of no way to do this.
Itunes ringtones are for iphones.

If I am using Itunes Match how can I listen to music if I am in a location with no internet connection?

I am going fishing in a remote location in Canada in a few weeks and I usually use my Iphone for tunes while in the boat. I am currently using Itunes Match for my music. What do I need to do to be able to access my music while on my trip?

If youu won't have an internet connection then you will need to download the songs to your phone : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637

I want to save my music library in the cloud /iTunes Match, but want both my wife's devices and mine to have access. Is this possible, and what's the best way to do this?

Hi all,
Can I store my iTunes file in the cloud, so that my wife and I can access it from various devices.
Devices would include 2 iPhone 6S, 2 iPad2s, couple of iPods and a MacBook Air.
We can't save all the music to a hard drive due to storage size.
If we save it to the Cloud, can we create playlists and only download these as /when we need them?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi,
Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer or on an external drive. Read this user topic Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
You can only use one Apple ID with match. For your wife to get access to your music in the cloud, you will need to use your Apple ID

I recently updated to Itunes 12.0.1. Since then, the Music tab under my Ipod Touch does not give me the option to automatically use ITunes Match to sync all my music. Now my Ipod memory is full, which is creating a problem. How do I fix this?

I recently updated to Itunes 12.0.1. Now, when I plug in my Ipod and go to the Music section, the Itunes Match option is unavailable. Which means that my music is taking up too much memory on my Ipod Touch. How do I re-enable the IMatch option so that my music will automatically be in the cloud?

Hello pib1617,
iTunes Match can be enabled on your iPod Touch via Settings -> iTunes & App Store.
Turn on iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Sign in if you haven’t already.

I just subscribed to iTunes Match but I find my iPhone 4s is matched to the wrong Apple ID. iCloud is properly linked to the same Apple ID I registered for iTunes Match but I can't seem to get my iPhone to link Match to that ID.

How can I link iTunes Match to my proper Apple ID? I have two ID's and my phone accesses iCloud with the proper ID but it insists on trying to access iTunes Match using the wrong ID so I get the message that I'm not registered for iTunes Match.

The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

Does iTunes Match back up all of my music to the cloud so it can be downloaded on any computer regardless if there is a hard copy on the computer?

So I need to restore my computer soon.
With iTunes match I know it backs my library up to the cloud, but do I need the original copy on a computer to access my library?
So if I have iTunes match, then I restore my computer to a factory image, would I be able to re-download all of my music from iCloud back onto my computer even if the music wasn't purchased in iTunes?
All answers are appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
You do not need to have original on you computer when you redownload your music from the cloud.
However, it is essential that you back up all your music to an external hard drive should you need to recover any original track.

I have downloaded itunes match but i cant play some music on my pc but i can on my iphone

I have downloaded itunes match. I can play all my music on my iphone but when i try to play it from my pc, it tells me it cannot locate the original files. Even though most are things i have purchased from itunes.
They are now mean to be in the cloud but dont seem to be for my pc.

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.
