Is there a min PC Windows requirement for ITunes Match?

Apart from having the latest version of iTunes downloaded on a PC is there a minimum WIndows software requirement?
I'm planning on importing Audio CDs onto my iTunes account using my office PC and then setting up iTunes Match to get the Library to all my personal OS devices.
I have a MacBook Air and therefore need to use the office PC to import.

Hi,
Delete play count as suggested but do not select update iTunes Match.

What is the minimum download speed required for iTunes Match streaming

I have been very interested by iTunes Match, and I have read much about it. The only thing that I have not been able to find is the minimum bandwidth required to stream music to an iPhone. Specifically, I would be looking to stream to an iPhone 5, as well as an iPhone 4. If there is an official minimum requirement, please let me know. If there is no apple specified speed, I would be interested in what you found to be he minimum speed necessary for smooth streaming.
Thanks,

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.

I've tried all the suggested solutions to authorize my windows computer for itunes but nothing works. Is there an actual phone number I can call? Does anyone have a solution? Please spare me the "get a mac" rubbish.

My computer does not meet the requirements for iTunes 7.7

Okay, so I think all these problems that I'm having are because my new computer does not meet the requirements for iTunes 7.7.
The requirements are listed here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I checked my system and I have:
1. 1.60 GHz instead of 2GHz
2. 511 MB RAM instead of 512 MB RAM
I have no idea how to check MB for video RAM or MHz. Since it's not shown in system I'm assuming that this computer doesn't have any.
The system requirements compared to mine are just off by a bit, but could this still be the problem?
Also, could I use an older version of iTunes that will work with my system & could you please post the link for the download.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Firstly, please let us know more details about the issue, such as:
1. What is your network environment, workgroup or domain?
2. How do you implement DirectAccess?
Meanwhile, regarding the requirements, please see
DirectAccess Requirements.

Hope this helps.

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.

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.

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.

How can my wife access all of our itunes music if she signs up for iTunes match, but her apple id is different than mine?

How can my wife access all of our iTunes music, even if she subscribes to iTunes Match, if her Apple ID is different than mine?

I do subscribe to iTunes Match.....and the music i am referring to is all of our downloaded albums and songs that are currently in iTunes and in the "cloud" on my iPhone and my iPad.
So if she uses my Apple ID for her iPhone, she can sign up for iTunes Match on my account? Will any of my apps then transfer to her phone? Or just the iTunes "data"?

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy. Can anyone help

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

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.

Priming our IDs and Systems for iTunes Match... Best Prac?

Hi all,
I love the concept of iTunes Match and plan on subscribing, however I am aware there might be pitfalls due to our (not so unique) setup at our house and I am keen to ensure I set things up correctly to avoid headaches.
I'm hoping you all and your seven months of consuming this service will help me!!
Firstly, I'll describe our setup.
2 people. 3 Apple ID's (1 each + 1 shared iCloud).
2 Work PC's. Windoze.
1 iMac (home). Lion.
1 Macbook (home). Snow Leopard.
2 iPhones
1 iPad.
Currently my fiance and I use our individual Apple ID's to purchase songs and apps that suit our own tastes. We share an iCloud ID across our iOS devices and iMac (which allows us to sync calendars, contacts, photostream etc).
Currently our shared iCloud ID has 0 computers or devices authorised to play content purchased with its ID as no purchases have been made (outside of some apps on the iMac).
My personal Apple ID has 4 computers and 2 devices authorised. (iMac, Macbook, No Idea 1, No idea 2, iPhone and iPad).
My fiance's Apple ID has 5 computers and 1 devices authorised. (iMac, No Idea 1 through 4, iPhone)
What I am trying to determine is how we should prepare for and configure iTunes Match. What we would like to do is use iTunes match on our personal devices (of course) - the iMac, Macbook1,1, 2 x iPhones and our iPad. We'd also like to use iTunes match on our Work PC's so we can listen away to our own music while we slave away, noses to the proverbial grindstone, for WAY too many hours each week. This would use up 4 computers and 3 devices from our ten licenses.
Firstly, should we both de-authorise all devices from our iTunes accounts? As I understand it this would clean the slate for us in terms of authorised devices.
However, I'm aware there's some 90 day doohickey to slow down using multiple ID's on a computer. So an option here would be to de-authorise (and then re-authorise the iMac) for my fiance's account devices... and wait 90 days to do the same for mine, considering I have one computer up my proverbial sleeve.
Secondly, which Apple ID should we use for iTunes Match? It seems to make logical sense to use the shared iCloud ID. However, as no music has been purchased using this ID, I'm not sure if this will complicate things (despite the computer we would upload from using this ID as its iCloud ID and being authorised to play the songs purchased from both our accounts). Can't seem to really find any documentation to clarify this.
Thirdly, and this might just be my idiotness, but I can't quite work out if a model of using our shared iCloud ID for match, but then continuing to purchase music from our individual Apple ID's will actually even work.
Finally - to put it most simply, I really don't know what I don't know here.. so if there are any things you believe I should be considering or any tips or advice or recommendations you believe would help me, I'd really, REALLY appreciate to hear them.

Okay - just been through the EXACT same thing.
AppleCare just advised me of the situation and here is my summary for you:
Despite supporting a different iCloud ID and Apple ID for store purchases on one device simultaneously, you will run into issues with this model. I just have. i.e. While iCloud ID's can be different to Apple ID's and treated as such by some Apple services - iTunes doesn't work this way.
I used our shared iCloud ID to sign up to iTunes Match and while this worked, here are the pitfalls:
- On your Mac: You cannot be signed into iTunes Match with your iCloud ID and the iTunes Store with your normal ID simultaneously.
To continue to use your current model of ID management - you will need to make iTunes store purchases with your normal ID, then sign into iTunes Match with the appropriate ID to allow these purchases to upload to the cloud.
- On your iPhone: You cannot be signed into iTunes Match with a different ID to that which you are signed into the App Store with.
You would need to either use your iTunes Match ID on your phone to access your Music, or revert back to your normal ID and just use "playlists" etc to sync your tracks as per usual.
- You will be able to use the iTunes Match on your Work PC's.. so long as you don't try to sign in with your normal ID also. Or first. Remember that 90 day rule thing and sign in with the iTunes Match ID on your work PC.
The AppleCare staffer said we're not alone (obviously) and that he hopes that in time Apple will look to supporting account merging etc. However, they don't right now.
