Is iTunes Match a one time thing, or continuous?

If I subscribed to iTunes match for the $25 fee and everything in my library was matched, but then I put new/more CD's onto my computer into iTunes, would they also be matched, or is it to late?
Thanks for any help

So we're going to hav to get creative with trouble shooting.
I'm guessing you have the iCloud Status column enabled; sort on that column to find all the tracks with a status of "waiting" or no status. Now, create a new folder on the desktop, highlight all the trouble songs in iTunes and drag-n-drop them into this folder. This is just so you have a backup of them and can refer to them.
Once that is done remove the trouble songs from the iTunes library, from the cloud, but keep the files. Turn off iTunes Match, wait about a minute, then turn it back on. Let it complete a scan.
Once the scan is complete start adding the troublesome songs back into the library a few at at time. After you add each small batch let iTM kick off and do its thing before adding the next small batch. It may be necessary to transcode some of the songs as well.

Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?

I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.

Hi,
Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this computer.

How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

I don't think you can. Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account. This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

HT4009 if i buy a app is it a one time thing or do a have to keep buying it by the month

IF I BUY A APP IS IT A ONE TIME THING OR DO I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING IT BY THE MONTH

It is a one time thing, unless the App in question offers some sort of subscription service.

Is the Welcome and Registration sequence a one-time thing?

Greetings,
Since I live and work overseas, I have had my new 2.53 Macbook Pro shipped to a friend visiting the US, who will hand carry it to me in a few days. She has already given it the white glove inspection for dings and dents, since the first one I ordered had souring pad scratches to the left of the trackpad (yes, right out of the box). That one was sent back immediately...I didn't even turn it on!
On to my question: I would really like my friend in the US to turn the MBP on for the first time to check out the LCD and to listen for fan buzzing noises while she is still in the US, in case this one has to be returned too. BUT I am concerned that perhaps the opening "Welcome" and "registration" sequence when the computer is turned on, for the first time, is a one time thing, and obviously, I need to register it in my name. Plus, I like watching the welcome sequence.
Is there a way for my friend to turn on my Macbook Pro, look and listen for defects with the LCD and fans, but then somehow shut the computer down in a way where the whole welcome and registration sequence will launch again when I receive it and turn it on for the second time? If this cannot be done, I obviously will not have her power it up, but wait until it arrives to me in a couple of days.
Many thanks everyone for the help and advice.

I would have no way to know. Historically some data collectors have published user responded problem/defect surveys, but none have been reported since the early 2006 product releases. At that time MBPs had about a 30% problem/defect percentage, but that included any one of about 20 or so things a user could report including things that may not have even been true defects.
I purchased my new MBR about two weeks ago, and so far not a single problem. In fact since 2006 I've purchased a first and second generation MBP in addition to the most recent model, a second generation MB and iMac, and a first generation Mac Pro. I haven't had a single problem with any of them.
All I can tell you is that a small minority of users post here - those having problems some of which they may have caused themselves. And you cannot trust any media hype over supposed problems because they base their stories on what they read here then blow something completely out of proportion.

HT1211 I have songs in Itunes that at one time synced to my ipod. Now some do and some don't even if their box is checked

I have songs in Itunes that at one time synced to my ipod. Now some do and some don't even if their box is checked. I also have the latest Itunes software.
I can still play them in Itunes but some won't sync to Ipod and I don't know why.

Hey pooleking,
I'd start the troubleshooting with your iPod. You can find some basic steps to start with here:

If i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

if i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

I'm assuming you mean can you access the purchased songs from another apple id. No you cannot. You will need to download these on another computer and then transfer the hard files into your itunes library that you are using icloud with and let icloud match them.
You cannot access two different id's from one match account. Also, if you sign out of the match account that you are signed into to another to download purchases you will not be able to sign back into your match account for three months. So do not do this either. Just use a friends computer or another way.

Multiple iTunes Match accounts (one per Windows profile)?

Hi,
Forgive me if this subject had been covered before (I did have a quick dig), but is it possible to have seperate iTunes Match accounts, one per Windows profile (on the same box)?
Our Windows 7 system has multiple users and we don't want to merge music into one library just to get Match working. Is it the case that it's limited by MAC address / physical hardware? (I don't want to go down the route of having one network interface per windows profile either!)
If somebody from Apple reads this, are there any plans to support this future iTunes releases? It would bring you more revenue with a household willing to pay for more than one subscription...
Many thanks,
Matt.

You can authorize a single copy of iTunes to up to five iTunes Store accounts. So yes, you can have both your account and one for your daughter in the same system.

One account for itunes match and one for all the rest?

Hello everybody
I was wondering how to use an Apple ID for iTunes Match and other for iCloud and backups. I found an article on the website that said that you actually can do that, but my question arises when I find out that now I only use one ID, all my apps are in there, along with my iPhone backups and stuff. So, if I create an ID for subscribing to iTM, will I lose the ability to update my apps on the old ID?
Please help!
The article is: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
Cheers

I know, but I can't use my credit card on my iTunes Store account, since it's a US ID. What if I change the country of my ID? How often can I change it? I was thinking of changing it, purchasing iTM, and then changing it back... can I do that?
Thank you

"Loading iTunes Match" showing each time I start Music

Hi,
I've recently had some trouble with iTunes match, where it wasn't downloading songs, although I could stream them fine. I spoke to someone from Apple who suggested turning off iTunes Match, then do a 'Reset All Settings', then re-enable iTunes Match. This seems to work fine, as I can now download songs.
Since performing the above 'reset', each time I start 'Music', it displays 'Loading iTunes Match', the progress bar gets all the way across, then I see my songs (not my playlists though - but that's a separate question). However, if I come out of Music, and go back in, I see the same message..
I've now tried about 10 times, with re-boots and turning off/on iTue

Hi,
There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

ITunes Match network connection time out error

I have just signed up to itunes match but at the end of step 1 I get a network connection error at the 'Waiting for apple to deliver your results' stage every time.
I have tried everything suggested on forums regaring unticking proxy server settings and turning off firewall but nothing works.
I have run diagnostics on itunes and it is coming up with two anomolies. It is giving me a 'cannot make secure connection to itunes store' error although I can connect to itunes store I am wondering whether this is causing the problem with itunes match.
It is also stating in the diagnostics report that 'current user is not an administrator' although I am logged on with an adminstrator account on windows 7 64bit.
If anyone can point me in the right direction to sort this problem i would be very grateful.

Great thanks. I am using NOD32 so hopefully that will be the culprit. I will try this later when i get home as you have to restart the PC in safe made to uninstall ESET and I can't do that over a VPN link.
I was thinking of getting rid of ESET anyway as it is a bit cpu hungry. I was thinking of just using the windows firewall and AV. Did you reinstall ESET after itunes match worked? And did it still continue to work if you did?
Sorry to bombard you with questions!
Thanks again.

Itunes match and roadrunner/Time Warner Cable 4002 err

I've been having constant iTunes Match 4002 failures. I got the following advice from apple support
1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
3: Wait for this to complete successfully,
4. Restart your computer.
5. Once your computer is up and running, open iTunes, return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
But it doesn't work for me.
However, I found out I CAN match successfully if I use a VPN - which masks the itunes traffic from my time warner/roadrunner cable here in San Diego. Turn VPN off, and it fails again.
Does anyone know whether TWC is snoping and causing itunes match to fail? ITunes is the only service that fails.

Wow same problem for me! Let me know when there's a solution with TimeWarner Cable!

My Itunes Match crashes every time I start Itunes

I have the current iTunes. I have cloud match. every time i start itunes it goes through the match process and gets to the part where it's going to upload the songs it wasn't able to match (about 325 out of 22.5k) and "itunes has stopped working" every time. These are songs I've loaded to itunes from CD's. Any ideas on what to do?
