I recently purchased Icloud match and am having a variety of issues. I have a PC and first off, several of my playlists have completely disappeared. Currently, the only songs from my playlists that appear on my Iphone 4 are songs purchased from Itunes.

Most of the music in my library is downloaded from prerecorded cd's to an external drive. In many instances, only certain songs from the same album will sync. I tried to convert the files to apple supported files when I see slashes and exclaimation points. The seemed to be converting and syncing to Icloud, but then they would be back to where they started the next time I turned on my computer. It appears that as much as 3/4 of the music I want to send to Icloud/match is unable to sync. What's even more frustrating is that I can no longer sync directly from computer to my phone, several of my playlists I had to recreate, and most of the music in these playlists will no longer play on my comuter. Help!

Hi Bill of NJ,
If you are only seeing part of your content on your new computer with Home Sharing (for example, new purchases automatically downloaded with Automatic Transfer), you may need to manually transfer the remaining files via Home Sharing. You may find the following article helpful:

I purchased icloud match and have a Dell computer. I have not turned on icloud match yet beccause I've read that doing so will mean I'll lose all the music in my itunes library on my computer. Is this true? If so, how can I avoid it. I use Windows.

I purchased icloud match, but have not yet turned it on so all my music is shown as "waiting." I read that if I turn it on, my itunes music library will disappear and I DO NOT want that to happen! So, my question is, will my music library remain as is if I turn on the icloud match or do I have to save it someplace and then reinstall it after turning on icloud match?

Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

How do I get music already on my laptop on (amazon, Emodio, Windows media player) into my itunes library, I have just done the icloud match as I thought this would do it for me, but the only songs on my phone are the 40 that I already had in itunes..

How do I get music already on my laptop into my itunes account library? I have just done the icloud match thinking this would pick them all up, but it hasn't, all it has done is match the 40 songs I already have in my itunes library. I wanted to get some more music onto my iphone and I am stuck. If someone could assist, that would be great. Thanks. Sue

HT204053 Need help getting my music from iCloud match to my new macbook

I recently bought a new MacBook Pro.     I'm finally leaving Wintel behind. Yay!
Anyway, on my soon-to-be history PC, through my iTunes app on the PC, I paid the 29.95 to join iCloud Match, and it spent a few hours syncining all my itunes songs up to iCloud, including a few hours it spent uploading CD-sourced music on my PC that it couldn't match up automatically.    So far so good.
But now, I'm on my new Macbook pro, which came pre-loaded with iTunes, I'm trying to figure out how to assoicate my new MacBook Pro with the library my PC created in iCloud.      Ultimately, I just want to get rid of my PC, and have my new Mac be the device that houses my iTunes librarry, and to which I can attach my iPod from now on to sync with.
What's my next step?    Do I have to pay another 29 bucks via my MacBook to make it a valid device on the iCloud Match account?   Or is there a way I can just log into the new icloud account from my MacBook, to download the library?    I don't mind paying the 29 bucks again if that's what's necessary. That's not the issue.    I just want to start using my Mac as the "conduit to iTunes for my iPod", in the way that my PC used to be, so I can finally dump that PC.
Any suggestions??

Here's an update:   I decided to go through the new Mac, and try to at least Authorize it into my iTunes account throught the itunes app on the MacBook, to see what happened.    Well, I got a message on the Mac that I have exceeded the limit of 5 computers that could be associated with my itunes library.
Most of these are old computers I've long since thrown away.    So, I want to disable them.   But Apple only gives the option, to "Deauthorize All".    Which thereafter, I assume I can just enable the new Mac.    But here's my worry:
When I "deauthorize all" will that have any effect on the integrity of the library I have sitting in iCloud?? By deauthorizing all computers, and then just re-enabling one (my new Mac), is there ANY way in this process that all the songs I've purchased through itunes AND all the songs I've CD-imported on my old computer that were all uploaded to iCloud ---- that nothing will be lost or erased???

ICloud Match - is it account specific

Hi, we've seen that you can now sign up for iCloud Match, so that you can access your iTunes account - music, film, books etc from anywhere as it stores your whole account on iCloud. However, it asks you for a user id when you sign up for it. Both me and my husband have separate accounts and wonder whether I will be able to access this service if he purchases it via his account. Or whether I would have to sign in as him to access it?
Has anyone signed up for this yet and come across this issue - or is it advisable to start a new iTunes joint account which we can both access?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I can confirm that protected AAC files bought under the account name not used for the iTunes Match service are not copied or matched in iTunes Match, they are deemed ineligible.
I can't say for sure whether purchased AAC files bought under the non iTunes match account are eligible or not. I don't have any purchased AAC items listed as ineligible, but I can't be sure I have any non iTunes Match account purchased AAC content, although I think I have. (Unless you go through all your tracks one by one it's not easy to see who's account they were bought under as there is no way to search by account name).

Icloud match streaming music doesn't work -- keeps hiccuping and interrupting

I recently bought the iCloud Match service with the idea that I could listen to hi fi versions of what was all compressed files on my iTunes library. Now when I try to play music in iTunes, it keeps stopping and starting,interrupting and hiccuping. Any ideas?

iCloud is not iTunes Match. The two services are seperate and distinct and one service does not require the other. iTunes Match does not use iCloud storage, nor is it a backup service.
iTunes Match only scans, matches and uploads tracks in an iTunes library. It does not not do this on an iOS device. You cannot even purchase iTunes Match except through iTunes on a computer.
You should take a look at this page to get a better idea of what iTunes Match is and does: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

Remove music from iPhone after enabling iCloud/match

After enabling iCloud and iTunes Match, then after having some songs downloaded on my iPhone, I want to cycle some out and pull new ones down. However, I do not see how I can remove music from my iPhone. If I delete the playlist, the entire playlist is wiped from my master iTunes library, which removes it from all devices that use iCloud/Match.
How do I selectively control what stays on my iPhone?
Thanks,
Derek

If that is on, I highly recommend looking at th KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4054
Specifically:
Make sure iTunes Match is turned on.
Please see this article for information about turning on or adding a computer or device to iTunes Match.
If iTunes Match is already enabled on your computer or device, try turning iTunes Match off and then on again.
On your Computer choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match, then Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
On your iOS device tap Settings > Music > iTunes Match Off, then Settings > Music > iTunes Match On.
And sadly, you apparently can delete a song from Match from your phone.
I am sorry, but no, you can't. If that were true, you would no longer see the song in your music library on your computer, and it would most likely be gone forever. The only way to remove an item from iTunes Match:
To delete an item from iCloud in iTunes
From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Click Music on the left side of iTunes.
Select the item you would like to delete. Right-click the item and then choose Delete.
You will be asked to confirm this action.
If the item you want to delete exists in iTunes on your computer as well as in iCloud, click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.
Match is a train wreck. They need to make it work simply and intuitively.
I don't disagree with you on this.

Icloud-match has overloaded my library with duplicates

my library was overloaded ... too many tunes & videos sucking up memory... so i looked at icloud as a potential blessing but it has become a curse .. on home sharing with my family we have multiple ghost copies of each tune .. as many as we have devices 2-10 copies, each a dead link in the library ... help! i am about to cancel icloud & match & rescue my music from my back up hard drive then never again try to use any cloud storage that does not have a safety feature for filtering uploads to eliminate duplicates or ghost duplicates ...
but first has anyone else encountered similar problems & found solutions within the itunes framework?
thanks

It's too bad that things have not gotten better on iTunes Match. I cancelled my subscription last year, after running into similar issues. iTunes eats your music and sometimes doesn't give it back. I agree, it's one of the worst products they have right now. If you want a system that works well with keeping your music safe and uploaded, Google Play, is quite good, and even has an iOS app. Good alternative and also auto-uploads your iTunes music purchases whenever you purchase new music.
Just an idea.....

ICloud Match, cannot play music.

iCloud Match, cannot play music. I have had the service from day one, no can play now!

You might need to try signing out of iTunes Match, then back in.

Audiobooks on icloud match

I had audiobooks from CDs downloaded onto my iPhone 4. They are still categorized as music files. When I turn on icloud match they get deleted from my phone. How do I stop them from deleting?

In iTunes change the Media Kind to audiobook. Then you can sync them to your iPhone via USB.

ICloud match in iTunes

Hi. My husband turned on iCloud match in iTunes and his music seems to have disappeared. We see the listing in iTunes and I can find the library on the desktop but when you click on the music it has a cloud with an "!" and it can't seem to locate the music. I have tuned off the match in an effort to try to find the music in iTunes again but I'm not having much luck. Any suggestions on how to make it find the music again? Can I erase what's in the computer and reimport the music? I have it in my Time Machine backup.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jamie

Try posing this question over in the iTunes for Mac forum. Assuming the music is still on your hard drive, you may be able to restore it in iTunes by restoring your previous iTunes library file (library.itl). They would be able to tell you over there and explain how to do this.

If the music was purchased from iTunes you may download it again, if not you will have to get it from your backup (if you have one)
