Is there a MB limit for iTunes matching?

I recall there being a 5GB "Free" limit for iCloud, but does that include iTunes music matching?  It seems that my music library of > 6000 songs has a great number that iTunes matching is uploading (i.e., not in the iTunes Store) so I'll certainly blow that 5GB limit.  Will I be charged beyond the $25 I already paid for iTunes Matching?

Not sure where it is documented.....However this is from personal experience from using the service.

  • Is there a character limit for iTunes U course postings when viewing in iOS app?

    I have created a course in iTunes U using the web interface, but when I view the course on my iPad it doesn't show the entire post. Is there a character limit in the app or something for what will display? 
    To make things even stranger, I went back to the course editor in my browser and saved it again (effectively re-posting it) and when I restarted the iTunes U app in iOS the post was cut even shorter!  I'm using an iPad 3rd gen with iOS 6.0.1.

    No, there is no workaround. You would need to find a downloadable copy of old apps.

  • HT4914 I have about 70,000 songs, almost all of them are MP3s burned from CDs. Is there a way to increase the 25,000 song limit in iTunes Match, by paying more, for example?

    I have about 70,000 songs, almost all of them are MP3s burned from CDs. Is there a way to increase the 25,000 song limit in iTunes Match, by paying more, for example?

    Right now the limit is what it is, 25,000 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store do not count against that number. Whether Apple has any plans to increase that limit none of us here, who are all just fellow users, will know. We'll have to wait and see.
    Regards.

  • On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
    Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers.  To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.  Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share.  You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons.  Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
    Go to Music in your Home Share.  Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

  • HT204053 what is the storage limit in GB for itunes match

    what is the limit in GB for itunes match?

    iPhone 4 and 5 will both work well with a good 3G service and much better with 4G.  Song file is actually downloaded to allow for all conditions of viable mobile signal.

  • Is there really no way to get a refund for iTunes match?

    Apple does not any support for iTunes Match and has not been able to make it work.
    Why then, does Apple not issue a refund for a defective product?
    Macbook Pro 2.7 with 8GB ram, 10.7.3 with iTunes 10.6.1
    I have created a new music library, created a new user and then imported some my music and even did a fresh install of 10.7.3 and iTunes on another computer and tried that with part of my music. Same thing.
    All fail and after numerous restarts, finally hangs on step 3. I have worked on this for days, letting it run for hours, like now 0 out of 888 items uploaded.
    Support calls have no troubleshooting steps to suggest. The put me on hold and finally hang up. Case # 305222983
    I have seen absolutly no troubleshooting suggestions here in Apple's support communities.
    After all these years with Apple, this is the most misrable mess I have ever seen.

    As I said earlier, "Support calls have no troubleshooting steps to suggest. The put me on hold and finally hang up. Case # 305222983"
    "All fail and after numerous restarts, finally hangs on step 3. I have worked on this for days, letting it run for hours, like now 0 out of 888 items uploaded." I'm sorry if this description of the problem isn't clear enough and requires "mind reading" to understand.
    I tried calling support several times and was on hold for most of the time.
    Thank you for directing me to the discussion suggesting clearing the iTunes cache. That is a great and simple solution and seems like a great first step in troubleshooting the issue. (I wish it would work for me) I have also tried reinstalling iTunes. (As well as creating a new music library and creating a new user and importing music from the "public folder".)
    Apple seems to have realized the problem and are now offering refunds. iTunes match seems like a great idea. I hope they are able to get it working eventually.

  • 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

  • Is there any way to use Itunes match on my Iphone without downloading music?

    I recently just purchashed Itunes match because I thought it would be a great thing to use on my Iphone considering I have a 16G Iphone 5s and around 47G of music.
    All was fine until my phone notified me that I was low on memory. I didn't realise that everytime you played a song through Itunes match, it would automatically download it onto your device (even if you were skipping the song on shuffle).
    I was just wondering if there was any way that could be turned off so that there would be no music downloaded on my phone. I thought the main reason for Itunes match was so your music wasn't taking up space on your devices. If this is the case, the fact that a song is downloaded automatically every time you listen to it makes no sense at all.
    If there is no way to fix this, there should be. This is ridiculous Apple, and I wouldn't have subscribed to the service if I knew I would have to download every song anyway. (Especially because it's a huge pain to go through and delete the songs off your phone)

  • ITunes Radio not working properly after signing up for iTunes Match

    I've been a user of iTunes Radio for some time now, and I've enjoyed it with minimal technical issues - until I signed up for iTunes Match. I'm not sure if it's simply coincidence, or if my subscription is causing issues.
    The problem is that when I click on a station, whether it be a Featured Station or one of My Stations, it acts like it will play, but the time bar never comes up below the song title. Instead of showing the status bar when a song is playing, indicating the time lapsed/remaining, it shows a solid blue bar all the way across with no time.
    I use Radio on my MacBook Pro (2009) and I also AirPlay my music to two Bose SoundTouch 20 speaker systems. I'm on the latest version of iTunes, my Bose systems are updated with the latest software, and I've never had an issue with this before. I can play songs I own or ones that I want to preview in the iTunes Store just fine through all of my speaker systems. What's interesting is that my NPR station in Radio works fine, though that one doesn't allow for AirPlay.
    I'm also having identical issues from my iPhone 5s. Though I can only play to one AirPlay device at a time from my iPhone, the symptoms are otherwise the same. Downloaded songs play fine; iTunes Radio freaks out and gives the "Station Temporarily Unavailable" message. Except it's not temporary, unless you consider two months of this irritation temporary...
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    Logging out of iTunes, restarting and logging back in.
    Resetting my Bose AirPlay speakers.
    Turning off the Bose SoundTouch App and Music Server App on my computer.
    Disconnecting my Bose AirPlay speakers from power altogether.
    Restarting computer and resetting iTunes Cache and Warnings.
    None of those attempts at fixing this issue has resolved anything. I'm at a bit of a loss for help here, and I really don't want to start uninstalling and reinstalling programs if it can be avoided. If there's a way to unsubscribe from iTunes Match, I'd want to try that first as that seemed to be when things started becoming non-responsive. If Apple provides a way to fix iTunes or the iTunes Match service without charging me a $29 support fee, I think that would be great, but I haven't seen one.
    Anyone encounter this before? Anyone at Apple listening? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

    Try it in Cellular as a quick test. Mi had lots of troubles and isolated the issue to Cox communications. May be an ISP issue.

  • For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

    For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

    Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
    You aren't comparing like with like.
    The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
    With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
    In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
    I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
    The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • Cellular Data for iTunes Match but not for app updates

    In iOS7 we can now have App updates downloaded automatically. Great. But if I want to use cellular data to stream songs from my iTunes Match library in iCloud when I'm on the road, but don't want to waste cellular data on App updates how can I do this?  It appears that enabling cellular data for iTunes Match also requires using cellular data for any of the four auto download features as well in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Am I seeing this correctly and is there a way to fix this?  I don't want to use cellular data for app updates, just for iTunes Match streaming.  Any help would be great.

    This looks like the same problem I've come across. From what I have been told, they are not separate, ie if you enable use cellular data to stream songs from iTunes Match you also have to download updated apps if you have it set to automatically download them.
    I think this should definitely be separated.
    The other thing you could do it go to another streaming music provider and then turn cellular downloads off. That's what I'm looking at doing.

  • Use cellular data for iTunes Match & Radio but not app Updates

    Is there any way to set an iOS device so that it will allow using cellular data for iTunes Match and iTunes Radio but not downloading app Updates. I want to be able to set my wife's phone so that the apps are automatically updated over Wifi but she can then use iTunes Match and iTunes Radio when she is out. She only uses those in limited capacity so I am not too worried about her using up her data plan with those. However, app Downloads seems to be quite large, and they happened a lot recently when they all updated for iOS8.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    No, but you could turn off Updates under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then update them manually when you're connected to wifi.

  • HT3702 I see Apple billed me for 24.95 for ITunes Match - whatever that is.  Has anyone else got the feeling that Aplle should make sure a customer is actually ordering something.  Big business in unconscionable.

    I am sick about the lack of ethicacy in business today.  Everytime I turn, some merchant has giged my again.  Apple's made know clear indication that there would be a billing for ITunes Match service - and I could not therefore authorize it.  How many of you think Apple owes its customers for doing this - which they sould have and could haveknown to be wrong. itunes Match  IS NOT EVEN LISTED AS A PRODUCT.

    It is a subscription service you have to authorize payment before you can even use it.  I am not certain but maybe if you have one click buy enabled you maybe, perhaps, accidentally bought it.  Also you may want to check with anyone else in your household who may have decided to get it without your knowledge/approval. 
    I don't think apple is to blame in this instance and I think you need to figure out what you're doing with your account before you start lambasting a company that is rated highest in customer satisfaction year after year after year...
    You should also take a look at this http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ please note the GIANT BLUE BUTTON that reads "subscribe for 24.99 a year" oh yeah that's really tricky how they did that.  They sure mislead you. 
    Now you're probably going "did i try that out last year and forget about it cause i didn't like it?"  Perhaps cause itunes match SUCKED in iOS 6.  It was AWESOME in iOS 5.  Next thing you know a year goes by and poof your SUBSCRIPTION auto renews because you failed to cancel it.  If you don't like the service and don't want it go to itunes, go to the store, open your account, and click manage subscriptions and remove itunes match. 
    And one last thing you elected to use a lot of big words but failed to discern the difference between "know" and "no" 
    giged my again.  Apple's made know clear indication that there would be a billing for
