I want to delete my Itunes Match library and start uploading all over again..How??

Please help

Did you figure out how to do this RHW? I have the same issue - I started uploading songs from a laptop at home, and then decided to make my work computer the 'home base' machine for storing all the song files. I deleted all songs from the laptop, selecting 'remove from iTunes match' as I went, and now iTunes match shows a little 'x' in all the cloud icons. So I'd like to start over and match from my work computer, but I don't seem to have that option.
If I click on a single song, I am prompted to 'add this song to iTunes match' and it works, but I can't do this for a large batch (5000+) of songs at once. Hence the desire to just start over. Please let me know if anyone has figured this out.

My ipod touch is connected to my USB port, it sais it's charging although... it doesn't show on itunes that i have plugged my device in, once i turn my ipod on the apple icon appears but then loses battery streight away and starts off all over again.

although it is doing what i asked it to do, i want it to charge, ok so it does it... although when i turn it on it's as if it's either not charged at all but only enough to have the apple icon on my ipod, once it's had enough (which is like, a minute) it switches itself off and carries on charging, sometimes it switches itself on but this just takes it back to step one. also, when i connect my device to the USB port itunes does not recognise it for some reason, i've updated the newest version of itunes recently and i've tried annother ipod on annother computer with the same USB cable, so it's either the newest version of itunes, my ipod or my computer. please help
P.S,
i do have the required version of windows for this to work, my computer isn't a mac, it's a pc, hope this helps...

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.

I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

ACCIDENTLY DELETED ITUNES NOW HAVE TO GET SONGS ALL OVER AGAIN

i recently deleted itunes on accident and had to reinstall again. Now i have get all 600 songs i downloaded all over again. my songs werent purchased from itunes so i cant transfer purchases to library. is there a way to transfer my music into my library again so i dont have to go through the agony of obtaining all of them again? please please help

Where were they obtained?

I accidentally deleted my entire music library and it's in the trash, how do I move it back?

I just deleted my entire music library and its in the trash, how do I move it back?

How did you delete it? Please provide more details to see what options you have available. Did you use iTunes by deleting the directory and confirming putting it in the trash or did you drag the actual iTunes folder in the trash? If you dragged the folder the solution is easy, either right click on the folder and select Put Back or manually return the folder to the previous location.
Do you have a recent backup of the entire iTunes Music folder including the iTunes Library.itl file or just the iTunes Library.itl file?

So my computer broke some how and now it wont even turn on i just such without want to know if i can still have all my old songs and buying it all over again or something for please help me

so my computer broke some how and now it wont even turn on i just want to know if i can still have all my old songs and such without buying it all over again or something so please help me oh also my ipod broke so i dont have anything that has my old songs except for the itunes ppl who know all of my songs

You buy one download and one download only, it is your responsibility to backup your music.
it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Delete entire itunes match library

I have a maxed out the itunes match icloud storage limits.....many, many songs are truncated at the end of songs when syned to ipods and iphones.
Based upon reading other posts, I seemingly need to remove my entire library and re-match to the cloud. How can this be done simply ? I'm nervous about possibly deleting my entire library on the NAS drive I have.

I think the easiest way to do this is to create a new, empty library and delete the tracks from there.
1. Launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and choose "new library."
2. Enable iTunes Match on this library and let it do it's thing.
Once it is done you can delete the tracks from the cloud but not worry about deleting the actual files. You will probably be able to only delete about 1000 tracks at a time, but keep updating iTunes Match and this will accomplish what you want to do.
After this is finished you can then switch back to your original iTunes library and add albums or artists at your leisure.

Can I delete an itunes account completely and start fresh?

I have a large family that all uses the same main itunes account. I recently noticed that the older children have downloaded some inappropriate apps from itunes. I cannot delete them forever, only hide the purchases. Can anyone help me with how to delete them forever advise me on how to start itunes over from scratch? I have a very large music and app library that I do not want to lose. Not sure how to proceed.

you are not able to do either. there is not way to delete the apps forever and you can not delete a itunes account. the only thing you can do is hide stuff

I have 0 songs in my iCloud/iTunes Match account and it says exceeded limit. How do I fix?

Hard drive crashed and when I loaded my local songs back into iTunes it wouldn't recognize my library. So I deleted all songs from iCloud to start anew. Now it will not allow me to add anything into my iTunes Match account. I have deleted the library, loaded an empty one and then reloaded the songs after cleaning out iCloud of all playlists and songs. I am at wits end. Help.

Hi,
Delete around 1,000 tracks so that the limit is reduced below 25k.
Hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes then reopen. Turn on match, you will be asked to add this computer, do so. The process may take sometime but if tracks had need previously matched or uploaded, the process will be quicker that a complete new scan.
Once scan has completed, check that the tracks have been matched, uploaded or purchased. Create a playlist based on iCloud status being matched or uploaded. This will tell you the total number of tracks that count towards the 25k. You can now think about readding the deleted tracks.
If you go over 25k non iTunes purchased track again, you can use the second library method to manage your main library. When you delete a track from the cloud it does not delete it from your computer. When you go back to your main library you will see the iCloud status as "Removed". Match will ignore in future scans.

Just installed latest Itunes, and system now grinds to a halt, caused by apsdaemon.exe and apple mobile using 99% processing. Have stopped these processes, but each time I start Itunes I have to do it all over again, any help would be appreciated

Having just installed the latest iTunes update, I find my system grinds to a complete standstill. I've checked and found two apple processes, apsdaemon.exe and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 90% plus of my processor, so have stopped these. However, each time I start iTunes the same situation occurs. Is there anyway I can remove these exes from my system or is apple aware of this stupid update and what are they doing about it. Any guidance would be very much appreciated

What version of itunes were you using before you updates?
Have you checked other related post?
iTtune will require applemobiledeviceservices.exe and others to run. What you are experencing is usually caused by a conflict with other software on you system. Everybodys system is set up differently, so there is not a "one fix all". Most commonly associated with Firefox addons, video accelerator software, podcasts on the backup, anivirus software, parential control software, take you pick!
I found my fix here.

Ipod touch 5g stuck in recovery mode! when connected to itunes and download updates all over again!

please help!!!!!!

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Cannot see BOTH synched library AND iTunes Match library at the same time

I ran iTunes Match on my library of MP3 files and hit the maximum allowed 25,000 song limit in my paid iTunes Match account. Then I created a new version of my local/PC iTunes library with those 25,000 MP3 songs removed, and synchronized it with my iPhone 4s running IOS7 and iTunes Match turned OFF. So far so good.
So now I theoretically have no duplication between my 25,000 song iTunes Match library and my local iTunes library that resides on my PC.
But even though I have the "Show All Music" setting on the phone turned on, the iTunes Match songs don't appear on my iPhone until I also turn the iTunes Match setting on. But as soon as I do that, all of the songs I synched from my local iTunes library on my PC completely disappear- having been completely replaced by my iTunes Match library. If I then turn the iTunes Match setting off again (while still leaving "Show All Music on"), the iTunes Match songs also disappear, leaving my iPhone music library completely empty. Have I misunderstood the meaning of the "Show All Music" setting, or is something malfunctioning?
My question is: How can I make ALL of my songs (both the ones I have previously captured in ITunes Match AND the ones I synched with my PC via iTunes) appear on my iPhone at the same time? This scenario seemed to be working just fine under IOS6 on the same iPhone.

I had a somewhat similar experience. When I enabled paid iTunes Match on my iPhone 5, iOS7, all of my locally-stored songs on the iPhone disappeared and remained gone even after I disabled iTunes Match on the iPhone.
A chat session with Apple support revealed that iTunes Match will in fact supersede any synched content on the iPhone. The suggestion from Apple support was to download on the phone all the previously-synched content via iTunes Match wireless connection. Of course, that would take hours if not days. And that crazy workaround won't help you because you want songs other than what you have in the Cloud.
It appears that various members of this forum have not had this same experience. I'm not sure what's going on here. Usually with Apple's tight control of hardware and software these anomalies are avoided.
And I didn't really need iTunes Match except I wanted commercial-free iTunes Radio (which I think is great, by the way). At least for now, commercial-free radio (with a paid subscription) can be achieved only by enabling all of the iTunes Match features. I'm not sure why Apple requires this bundling unless its part of a general push to a streaming model for everything (more revenue opportunities) as opposed to supporting local storage.

Download entire itunes match library?

I am unable to download my entire itunes library from iTunes Match. How is it done? I have the latest iTunes on 10.8.
I enabled iTunes Match and let it upload my entire library. This worked fine.
About a week later the external hard drive that I store my itunes library on died, as did the hard drive where I keep my backups.
I bought a new external hard drive and set up iTunes to use that by creating a new library on it.
I then signed into iTunes and then into iTunes Match.
I then looked at the iTunes match option and shift-clicked all the files with the cloud icon.
I then right-clicked the cloud icon and chose Download.
iTunes subsequently downloaded about half my library before iTunes crashed. I subsequently lost internet for about a week, and now that I have it back I want to download the rest of my library.
I launched iTunes today and it told me that an iTunes Match problem has occurred and that I need to sign out and then sign back in.
I have signed out, and signed back in. After doing so, iTunes required me to set up iTunes Match again, so I clicked the button that enables iTunes Match.
iTunes subsequently has scanned my library and matched the songs to apple and found that all the songs in my current computer are all up there on Match. It seems to believe that it's work is done.
However, I do not see the files that are already on Match but not on my computer. I can not download these files to this computer. They show up fine on my iPad and my AppleTV.
Hence my question: How can I get iTunes Match to download my entire library that is stored online?

Highlight all the tracks you want to download, right-click and choose "download." However, if you have a backup on an external HDD that will be a much better way to transfer your music to a new computer.

My computer crashed and I know I lost my music. I have a new one but when I hook my nano itunes wants to delete what I have on the nano. How can I get it to accept the song on the nano and start building my libary again?

My computer crashed and I lost my music. I have a windows7 now but when I try to connect my nano to it I get message saying it is connected to another libary. I don't want to lose the music on the nano. How can I set it up to a new itune library and start collecting my music again?

Turn off itunes match subscription and cancel the remaining balance on my account to change the country store

Good afternoon. I want to turn off itunes match subscription and cancel the remaining balance on my account to change the country store as I do this?

You will need to contact Apple by call to gain the appropriate support directly. There can be significant issues in changing country.
First step is always to ensure that you have a secure backup of all of your Songs.
