IPad and iPhone Wrongly Think My Computer is Not Subscribed to iTunes Match

I paid for iTunes Match, my Mac Book Pro shows it is on, my iTunes has it on, and yet when I turn iTunes Match on in my iPad and iPhone, they ask me for my password, then both tell me:
"You are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTune on your computer so subscribe."
I restarted everything, but the phone and pad still think the computer's not subscribed?
THANKS

If you have songs from another account, sign-in with that account on your Mac Book and download them to your Mac. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Then, sign in with your original ID and use the iTunes Store menu > Update iTunes match.
Look at
iTunes Match: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
It has important tips like:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.

HT204406 I have subscribed to iTunes Match. It is turned on on my mac but on my iPad and iphone it says that I have not subscribed. I have tried turning everything on and off, backed up iCloud. Still no joy, any tips please? Thank you

I have downloaded iTunes Match to my mac. However when I try to access on my iPad and iphone, it says that I have not subscribed. I have the cloud on my mac showing all the songs there. I have tried turning everything on and off and also backed up again. Any suggestions please?

Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match. Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu. Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match. That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer. Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with. It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top). If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider. Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.

Cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

just checked everything through and this is deffinately the public beta of iCloud as it simlily doesnt come up in the settings of ipad or iphone. However the current firmware i am using isnt an itunes download, as i have downgraded and all itunes synced apps onto both the iPad and iphone crash when i open them, is this because i have downloaded the firmware from a third party? i have treble checked that the firmware is NOT hacked and is just a host's official apple firmware, so i cannot understand why this problem is occuring?

Good ev Ning Mario49 firstly I would like to say a great thank you for your attention to trying to help me,,,,, i have looked at the links and will try everything stated first thing…
Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Power cycle the router.
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.

How do I permanently delete songs not on my computer but are showing with a cloud (available to download). Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

I have songs showing with a cloud that my son at some time purchased that I want permanently deleted. They are not on any computer but can be downloaded by clicking on the cloud. I want them permanently deleted not hidden. Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

Managing app updates with more than one Apple ID is overly complicated as you need to sign in and out of each account in turn, so you may want to avoid creating more accounts it either has been used to purchase apps. For media it isn't quite so bad, but Apple devices are limited to holding protected content from up to five Apple IDs so again I would caution against creating new accounts unless you really have to. I doubt that is the solution in this case. As given, if you hide the purchases in question, sign out, then sign in again, they should no longer appear unless already downloaded to the device, in which case delete them from it directly. In extreme cases where the device "knows" it has some piece of content on it that it won't let you access or delete the resolution is to backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore the backup you made earlier.
See also Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions and Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing. I don't use either of these features so I don't have any practical expereince over and above what is in those support documents but perhaps they will help.

HT4913 I have 2 separate iTunes (one on my old PC and one on my new Mac) if I subscribe to iTunes Match will the 2 libraries be synced?

I have 2 separate iTunes (one on my old PC and one on my new Mac) if I subscribe to iTunes Match will the 2 libraries be synced?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone? Will the computer erase my other device information?

Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone on my computer? Will the computer erase my other device information?

The computer will not erase the information. Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well. How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work? Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.

How to manage multiple ipads and iphones on the same computer

Any advice on how to manage multiple iphones (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 & iPhone 3G) along with an iPad & iPad 2 on the same computer?
Thank you

The article that AnaMusic references assumes that you sync automatically I believe. Turn off auto sync and select whatever you want to put on each device. As Philly said, it really is a snap. I have never synced automatically and I never selected iTunes to start up when my iDevices are connected. I want the control over all of that.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPads name on left sidebar under the devices heading and then click on the summary tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select - Sync only checked songs and videos. If you really want to "live dangerously" - uncheck Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. Now you can control what you sync and when iTunes starts up. iTunes will not start up when you connect the iPad and it will not sync anything on its own.
Go into each tab in iTunes, Info, Music, Apps, .... All of them - check what you want to sync in each section. After you have made all of your selections (and you have checked all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Apps and so on) click on Apply in the lower right corner on iTunes and the sync will take place.
Do this with each iDevice and iTunes will remember what you selected for each device the last time that you synced. You can make changes to this configuration any time that you want for each device and if you do just remember to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to apply the changes.
