Is it possible to sync songs not available to iCloud?

I have songs which iTunes says are not able to upload to iCloud via iTunes Match. I can't sync it to my IOS devices through iTunes anymore if I'm using ITM. So, I either have to disable ITM and go back to direct library sync but lose the advantage of ITM. Is there anyway to sync part of a library or playlist and still use ITunes Match?
thanks

Your iOS devices do not need to be "linked" to your previous iTunes Store account. They can still play the media. It is only computers that need to be "authorized," and as long as your Mac is authorized you can sync and play that protected media on an unlimited number of devices.
But, as you say, if it simply isn't working then you've got a couple of courses of action. One is to sign into that original account on the iTunes Store and upgrade the protected files to DRM-free files, via the iTunes Plus link under the Quick Links section on the left side of the page. Two, is to burn those protected files to an audio CD and re-import them as AAC or MP3 files. Either course of action will allow the files to then be compatible with iTuens Match.

  • Is it possible to sync iTunes after synchronized to icloud

  • Songs not available on my phone

    Need some help - i have about 900 songs in my 'starred' playlist which all appear on both my laptop and phone. However, about 300 of them won't play on my phone. They all play on my laptop and it has been synced and made available offline but these 300 or so just do not play on my phone. Any ideas?

    I am having a very similar problem. With my premium account, i am not getting all songs "available offline". for example, very few of my NeedToBreathe songs are available offline. even though i have the artist and all albums set to "available offline", they still will not play for me on my iPhone 6. Some songs are availeble, while most are not.... when im paying to have them all available....

  • Synced song not visible on iTouch

    I've got a single song in my library of over 8000 songs that just will not show on my iTouch. Here's what I've done so far:
    - Restored iPod with 3.1.3 firmware
    - Verified that the song is playable in iTunes 9.0.3
    - Deauthed/Re-authed iTunes on my computer
    - Verified song is available to iTunes
    Initially, I had the song syncing to an existing playlist, but I couldn't see the song if I searched for it on my iPod, however I could see it on my iPod if I looked through iTunes.
    So, I created a new playlist with just that one song, and set that playlist to sync to my iPod and ran a sync. The playlist NOR the single song are visible within the iPod, but I can see it again through iTunes sitting on my iPod.
    I'm really confused. Can anybody help me with this?

    having the same problem...has anyone tried anything?

  • Help after hard drive change - some songs not available

    I had an external hard drive that started to act wonky and wouldn't mount.  I was able to get to mount one last time and transfer the contents over to a new hard drive.  Now every time I start iTunes there is a message about checking for gapless playback.  I believe there are 82 tracks.  It goes by rather fast so it is hard to read each and every title.  The ones I have read upon checking I find that the songs have no content.  They just don't exist.  When you go to control I instead of the track showing the length it shows Not Available.  Is there anyway to search my hard drive to find out which tracks are having a problem?

    Go to the Dougscripts web site and get the script called ListMIAs

  • Uploaded songs not available on iOS devices.

    I have songs in my iTunes library that have an uploaded status.  However, they are not available on my iOS devices.  iTunes Match is enabled on all devices.  Any suggestions?

    The most common cause of this issue is that the initial iTunes Match scan, match and upload process has not finished. Make sure it has finished.
    If the process has finished, what exactly do you see when you look for these "missing" tracks on the iOS device?

  • Why are some songs not available in the U.S. iTunes Store?

    There is a song called "The Moment I Knew" by Taylor Swift. I want to get it off of the U.S. iTunes Store, but it's only available as a ringtone, not a song. And the weirdest thing is that the song is available in other countries along with the Deluxe Edition of Red, but in the U.S., Taylor Swift usually releases the bonus tracks as singles. I need to know!!!

    It is not currently available in the US Store. So, you won't be able to get it via iTunes. You can purchase the Red Deluxe CDs at Target, which has the song on them.
    Cheers,

  • Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

    I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
    The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
    How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

    Hey RuiEVG,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

    Check the system requirements
    Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
    iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.

  • On an Iphone 5s How do recover contacts that somehow vanished in my contacts list, the cloud and Sync are not available on this Iphone yet

    On an iPhone 5s, how do you recover contacts that some how vanished from the contact list?
    Sync and the cloud not available yet.

    To transfer your data and settings to a new device see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.  You can also use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up the contacts on your phone as attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  If you need to, you can later open this email on your new phone and tap the attachment to import your contacts.

  • Songs " not available"

    I have some music that is not available in the time section. The songs won't play on my ipod or on my computer. I have deleted them and reinstalled the cds (which have been purchased from a store) and I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. Does any one have any suggestions?

    Sorry, I don't understand what this means.
    1. Do you mean that you've imported the songs from the CD but under the time column, there is no time shown?
    2. Do you have other songs (from other CDs) that do have time shown and do play?
    3. Are the CDs (with the non-playing songs) copy protected or is there anything unusual about them?

  • Sync songs not working?

    Whenever I press the sync song button it does nothing. I want to get the songs from my library onto my ipod. My ipod is connected to my computer and it shows up on the list under devices in Itunes. Also when I go to look at the songs already on my ipod I can't play them and it shows a little lock closed on the bottom. So I guess that means my ipod is locked or something? Anyways I just want it to sync my ipod so I can delete the songs on my ipod currently and replace them with the songs in my library.

    Nevermind answered my own question. If I need anymore help I will make sure to come back to this forum . Happy holidays anyone you can delete this post.

  • Itunes purchased songs not available on my PC.

    I purchased some music from Itunes and downloaded it to my comp.....the album and songs show in my itunes library, but it won't play them and gives me the message the"original file can't be found". It also does not show the icloud icon beside the songs. When I go to my purchases in itunes it does not give the option to re down load the songs. The crazy thing is that the songs are on my iphone. Help please! How do I get the songs back on my PC?

    Delete them from the iTunes library on your computer and redownload them by opening the iTunes Store > Purchased (in the Quick Links section on the right) > sign in > Music
