ITunes Match availability outside the US

Hi, does anybody know when will iTunesMatch be available in Latin America?
I live in Peru and would like to subscribe to it,
Thank you!

As best I can tell iTunes Match is down in the US. Apple's useless status page indicates no problems:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
But AppleInsider has an article about the issue:
http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/11/19/itunes-match-down-as-apples-icloud-iss ues-continue

I tried enabling iTunes match and now the option is gone completely!

I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this...I was having issues initially with my iPhone not recognizing that I had iTunes match enabled, so I re-enabled it on my Mac. When I went to enable it under Settings->Music, it allowed me to switch on "Enable iTunes Match", but then the option immidiately disappeared (See screenshot). iTunes Match is currently not running on my phone and I cannot get the option to enable/disable it to populate whatsoever. I've tried soft reseting multiple times (Holding down the home+power button for 10 seconds) with no avail. Does anyone know any solutions to this issue? I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Make sure you have current versions of iTunes and iOS.
Try tapping Settings > Store > Apple ID, sign out and sign back in.
If that doesn't do it, try restoring the iPhone.

Can I have iTunes Match recognize that the Music is on my Hard Drive?

My PC (Windows 8.1) computer hard drive crashed. My old computer was using an iTunes media file on an external hard drive so I still have that, but I also subscribe to iTunes Match. After replacing my old internal hard drive, I went to set up iTunes, and I changed the iTunes media folder location so it would use the one on my external hard drive. However, once I turned on iTunes Match, all of the music still shows up as being in the Cloud. I can't figure out how to have it recognize that my music is already on that external hard drive. It just wants me to download everything from the Cloud. I have tons of music, and it would take days to download everything. Is there a way to associate it with my previous library on the external hard drive?

CHRISRMOR: With iTunes match, as long as you uploaded all of your songs to begin with, the music should be there when you open a new iTunes on your new hard drive. You will just have to download it all from the cloud. If you use iTunes match on other devices, you can download any or all of your songs from the cloud too. So to answer your question, yes, you are correct. When you download iTunes onto your new hard drive, authorize the computer and turn on iTunes Match and update it, then all of your songs should be there. There is a symbol of a cloud with an arrow pointing downward that will show that it is in the cloud. If you right-click on that symbol you can download an individual song. Or if you select all or a group of songs, you can download all of them with a right-click.

Should Itunes Match be deleting the music on my iphone and IPAD

Still trying to get this figured out. I'm almost certain that yesterday, when I first did Itunes Match, that all the music that was already on the Iphone and Ipad was not deleted (despite the warning to the contrary) when I toggled the Itunes Match switch on both.
I'm almost certain that yesterday, even after turning Itunes Match had been turned on, the music was not deleted and as new songs were added (ie CDs ripped)they showed up on both devices with the cloud Icon.
That is consistent with what I read here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1163607/toggle_between_itunes_match_and_local_sy ncing.html
However, today, I re-downloaded some music after getting the higher quality versions with Itunes on my Mac. I turned Itunes Match off on both my Iphone and IPad, thinking I would do a quick manual sync to the Mac, get all the songs put on each and then turn Itunes Match back on both.
I did so, but when I turned Itunes Match back on each, Itunes Match deleted all of my music, replacing all songs with the cloud icon now forcing me to redownload everything. That seems inconsistent with what happened yesterday and is also inconsistent with the article above which seems to indicate that Itunes Match should be smart enough to realize the songs it doesn't need to delete.
Is the above article and my experience wrong?
Thanks for the help!

What you are experiencing is normal. As soon as you turn on iTunes Match, it should wipe out all your songs that were manually put on your device and you will have to redownload. Its idiotic to me, but that is the way it is supposed to work. People have stated they sometimes fool the process, but it is supposed to remove them all.
Hope this helps. Down the road I wish they made it so you could do both, icloud and manual sync.

HT204088 Is there a way I can immediately unsubscribe to iTunes match and have the $24.99 refunded. I accidentally purchased it but don't want the service right now?

How can I sync to keep some music tracks on my iPhone AND use iTunes Match to stream the rest?

Before I got iTunes Match, I had selected a whole bunch of music from my iTunes to sync onto my iPhone using my USB cable.
Now I've signed up for iTunes Match and none of that music is on my iPhone anymore except by streaming.
How do I get those tunes and podcasts back on my iPhone so I can listen to them when streaming is not available (like downstairs in my gym where there's no signal) WHILE ALSO being able to access the other non-sync'd tunes if I want whenever I've got a good signal.
I spent some time choosing which tunes to keep on my iPhone and which not to sync. So I'm sad they've all gone from my iPhone.
Your help appreciated!

You don't really have to download each one.
If you put the songs that you want to in a playlist you can have your iOS device download all the songs automatically rather than you having to do them one by one. And as you add more songs to this playlist you can periodically have your iOS device download the new ones. It actually works very well. The only downside, albeit a small one, is that it won't automatically download the new additions to your playlists.
This is exctly what I do for my workout playlist. I populated it, downloaded all the songs in one shot by clicking the DOWNLOAD ALL button on that playlist on my iPhone, and then as I add songs to that playlist in iTunes I'll go back to the iOS device and download those individual songs.

Old broken computer (before iTunes Match available)

I have an old HP that no longer works (before iTunes Match). I had uploaded my entire cd collection and it is associated with my itunes account. If I purchase ITunes Match will it bring this data in my library?

THx for the response, Michael. So...back when Gen 1PODs came out, I downloaded itunes. I amy not be using the correct term, but I took all of my actual cd's - put them in the cd slot and imported the music to the library. This was probably 8 years ago...if i had to guess.
same apple ID, but was just curious if this data as saved or not. Thoughts? Still think it will not be available?
thx

Update itunes match info on the ipad. How?

This is on an iPad (iOS 7.1.2). I use iTunes Match (25,000 song limit account) where all my contents are MP3's from my CD's, either matched, or uploaded. My library is large (24900+ tracks).
The contents of my iTunes Match library are not displaying properly. If I choose "Albums", the listing on the iPad is not sorted alphabetically. This happens when "Group by Album Artist" is on or off.
The display and management of the music contents is correct on my other iOS device (iPhone 5) and in iTunes.
I have turned iTunes Match off and back on on the iPad; deleted all music contents ion the iPad Settings General, Usage; updated iTunes Match in iTunes Store menu. The display of the music contents is still fragmented and not correct on the iPad.
Any idea how to fix this?
Aloke

No, you are not tecnically "streaming" music--althought it appears like that. Basically your iTunes Match makes your library available online. Whichever music you wish to listen to is downloaded to your device for playback. My understanding of Streaming is playback of media file not permanently stored on your local drive or device (i.e. Netflix). So you can't have total access to 25GB of music on a 16GB device, without first deleting some songs on your device and then downloading another set of songs. (Deleting songs on your device does not delete it from iCloud).

Some uploaded songs to itunes match stop in the middle of the song now

I loaded all our CD's onto Mac .....spent weeks last summer doing it and then purchased Itunes Match....several songs now just cut off in the middle of the song. The songs show up on my Itunes, show the title, full amount of play time, but even on my computer, play only the first minute or two of the song and then cuts out. Really annoying as I have about 5000 songs and hate to spend more time compiling a list of each corrupted song and reloading without knowing if this is going to just keep happening. Any ideas what I might have done wrong or need to change? Thanks......

Hey Jesus,
I found the following resource that may provide more information:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
- Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
- Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Thanks,
Matt M.

With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
Best regards and thanks once again.

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.

HT204406 how do I download higher bit rate songs from itunes match to replace the lower bit rate I have on my itunes library?

I have itunes match and I have about 500 songs that were ripped at 128kbps. I have been tolf that I can replace them via itunes match to improve them to 256 or 320?
I have put them into a playlist in my itunes library and I want to know how I can upgrade their bit rate via itunes match. Can anyone help me?

Sid,
With the device connected, click the Summary tab and you will see the "Convert higher bit rate..." option. Set it to 128. See picture below:

ITunes match icon (beneath the iTunes store) is gone

I am using itunes match and I had to sign out of my apple ID account for a moment then log back in and now the itunes match is not showing up under the store catagory?

The reason it disappeared is because apple is getting ready for the full launch of match so they have deleted everyone's current match library. There was a notice sent out to developers stating that fact. Hope you had everything backed up.
