ITune Match upload hangs on last song

ITunes uploaded 587 songs without a problem.  Number 588 (the last one) has been busy for over an hour.  Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with a Prodigy CD, where it hangs on the very last song. This happens however on my Macs, when I put it into my Windows laptop it works just fine. I've also had a Depeche Mode CD that Windows couldn't rip properly but the Mac can. All this seems to suggest that it might be a problem with the actual drives. I am not an expert by any means though and if anyone else has a better theory, I'm open to one myself.

  • Corrupted iTunes Match Uploads

    So I have a couple of iTunes match uploads that seems somehow corrupted. I've removed the local files, but they won't re-download from iCloud. The two different errors I get are:
    "An unknow error occurred (11111)"
    and
    "The URL "^0" could not be found on the server"
    Most frustratingly, I cannot delete these tracks from iCloud either, the delete option is available, but hitting "Delete Songs" on the iCloud deletion confirmation dialog has no effect.
    Any thoughts?

    The first file (unknown error) was corrupt at the point of initial iTunes match upload. I've re-ripped it from CD and the new version uploads and downloads to iCloud fine, but it is indicated as a duplicate of the corrupt track in iTunes, and I want to delete the old corrupt version from iCloud.
    The second file (URL error) was fine before upload (again, ripped from CD). I retained a local copy and that works fine, however if I delete the local file (via iTunes), it won't redownload from iCloud, and nor can I simply paste the local version back into iTunes, because iTunes is convinced that the file only resides on iCloud and doesn't locate the local version.
    This situation has been like this for some weeks now, I've just only now gotten round to mentioning it here.

    When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

  • My Itune Match tries to update my songs but itunes just shuts down

    I just upgraded to the new version Of Itunes 10.6.0.40 on my windows pc. Now when itune match tries to update my songs to the cloud it just makes itunes crash and restart. Any Ideas Anyone?

    Ashy07,
    so have you backed up and reformatted?

  • ITunes Match, doesn't recognise the songs which i've already uploaded and its trying to upload them once again

    I recently formatted my iMac, i have all of my music in an external hard drive. Once i formatted my iMac, i load all of my music from the hard drive right into iTunes, but if I turn on iTunes Match, it tries to upload all of the music again, the only way that i could handle this, is to delete all of my music, about 25,000 songs, and then download them all again. Is there any way that iTunes recognizes the music that i already have in my cloud and just leave it there?

    Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town.  I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album.  They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing.  Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there.  So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
    If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it!  I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

  • Will a song uploaded to iCloud via iTunes Match be deleted if the song is deleted locally?

    Is it safe to remove songs from iTunes to free up space on one's hard drive after they have been uploaded to iTunes Match?  That is, will the song in iCloud be deleted if the song is deleted locally?
    Thanks.

    I think iTunes Match is still in beta so I wouldn't do that unless I was sure of my personal backups. I'm not sure I would do that even if iTunes Match wasn't in beta. At least not for several months to let the service shake out problems first.
    Edit: I didn't find the words Beta on any Apple documentation so I think that part is wrong. I was taking Chris Breen's word for it from Macworld.com but he might have meant it ironically. But as I said, I still would be hesitant to delete from my library just yet.

  • Itunes Match upload keeps failing

    Hey there,
    I signed up for iTunes Match yesterday and it's matched up most of my library but it's just started running the Step 3 "Uploading Artwork And Remaning Songs" FOR THE THIRD TIME - it gets all the way through the process then I turn around ten minutes later and the **** thing has started the whole process again. Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Rob

    Rob,
    I posted on a similar topic, you are lucky if it takes 10 minutes to get to the point where it crashes, due to the size of my library mine takes around 2 hours, and I have had to restart it hundreds of time and been at it for 4 months now I think. Each time an update for itunes is available I hopefully install it, problem not fixed as yet, I live in hope. itunes 11 was in my opinion a downgrade, features removed, can't see where apple are going with this, downhill mostly.
    Only solution I have found so far is sheer persistence, just keep on restarting it, until eventually you get all your songs uploaded. There are some songs at the top of the list which dont have an itunes match/cloud status but I will deal with those once uploads have finished.
    From what I've read elsewhere the crashing *may* be related to the size of the files (seems iTunes match doesn't like large files). If you have lossless or WAV files, consider converting to AAC 256kb which I think is what iTunes match wants to put into the cloud, so might help. The conspiracy theorists would probably say the bug intentional and in order to get you to purchase apple hardware.
    Last time I asked iTunes about a refund a very partronising lady replied and in essence told me that iTunes store policy is "All sales are final", in other words, no refunds. I guess if it happened on the internet then it didn't really happen, not same as the store where you can get no questions asked refund.
    Hope you get it sort, good luck

  • ITunes Match Uploads Keep Stopping

    Looks like a couple of peole have posted on this, but I haven't seen any advice yet.  My Step 3 - Uploading Artwork and Remaining Songs - keeps stopping.  I get maybe 5-10 items uploaded, then the progress stops.  Still get the progress wheel spinning, etc, but no more items get uploaded.  I've started and stopped the process multiple times, restarted my computer, etc.  Saw one recommendation suggesting that there might be an odd track that hangs up the system.  That doesn't seem to be my case - I get about a dozen items uploaded, then the progress stops.  I Stop and Start, then get a few more uploaded. 
    Very frustrating and disappointing.  Really seems like Apple rolled iTunes Match out before things were ready. 

    Don't get me wrong, I'm very exicted about the iTunes Match service and think it is a fantastic idea!  I just wish more of the bugs and issues would have been ironed out before release.  I am a huge Apple fan and user because, normally, everything 'Just Works'. 
    I understand about bandwidth limitations - again, my problems stem from having to start and stop the upload process dozens of times because the process would stop/hang up, despite my rebooting, Option-Clicking, etc.  My iTunes library isn't large - just under 10,000 songs.  After matching, I had to upload approximately 1700 songs.  I limited or turned off all other internet/wireless activity while uploading.
    The purpose of my posting about this issue is 1) to hopefully find a fix, and 2) to give Apple some feedback about what is going on with iTunes Match.
    By the way, I finally completed my upload.  Now that my library is uploaded, hopefully adding additional CDs/tracks here and there won't be much of a problem.  And I'm really looking forward to using this! 
    I've seen this mentioned on other tthreads, but I don't want a refund - just wish Apple would have ironed things out a bit better before releasing.  Someone mentioned that iTunes Match is still considered in Beta - I don't recall reading that anywhere, and hope that is not true.  What has distinguished Apple from the rest of the pack is that they've had the discipline to hold off on releasing products and services until they were working smoothly, and not using their customer base as an extended testing phase.  Just hoping this experience was just an anomoly, and not an indication of things to come.

  • ITunes Match just added old purchased songs, I don't want those songs anymore. I just want my music to be iTunes quality.

    I purchased iTunes Match, and all I noticed that it did was pull songs I purchased from iTunes many years ago. Songs that I don't want anymore. I just want songs that weren't purchased from iTunes to get uploaded and converted to better quality. Did iTunes do this for me, and I just didn't see it? Or did I purchase something, and didn't get the expected results? How can I get iTunes to upload and convert my lower quality music?
    iTunes 10.5.3.3 on a PC.

    That's odd for sure.
    Anyway, first set the iPod to manage the songs manually.
    Then, select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, and click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear". The songs should be deleted from the iPod.
    Now you can change the iPod back to your auto sync preference.

  • ITunes Match on my iPhone shows songs that are not in iTunes on my Mac and PC.

    Yes, I know that deleting songs from iTunes does not necessarily mean they are deleted from iTunes Match, too. Not checking the box when deleting songs is definitely not why this is occurring, so hear me out. My Mac hosts my main iTunes library. What I do there, is synched with iTunes Match. In iTunes in Boot Camp, I have no local files, so all that iTunes on Windows shows me, are the songs that are matched with and uploaded to iTunes Match. As far as I can tell, it's exactly the same as my main library on my Mac.
    It's a different story on my iPhone, though. There are songs that show up on my iPhone that I have deleted on my Mac. Some several times, even. A little while ago, I ripped one of my CDs and had it matched with iTunes Match. I made some changes to the metadeta afterwards, though, so I deleted the songs and added and matched them again. And again, that same day. I did the same things with a single song.
    And now I'm stuck with three copies of the album and of the song in iTunes Match. But the weird thing is, that only one of each shows up in iTunes on Windows. That library, again, does not have any local music; it only shows what's in iTunes Match. I have tried disabling iTunes Match on my iPhone, I have deleted all local content on my iPhone, I have deleted the album and the song – the files that are showing up multiple times on my iPhone – from my Mac, updated iTunes Match, re-added the files and updated Match again. Unfortunately, none of this helped.
    After deleting the files and updating Match, I saw only two instances of the album and the song in question, instead of three. After re-adding them and updating Match again, there were three of each again. That means that there are two instances of the album and of the song 'stuck' in iTunes Match. And yet they don't show up in iTunes on either OS X or in Windows.
    Why is this happening? And, more importantly, how can I fix it? In the grand scheme of things, this is obviously a minor problem, but it's annoying me a lot nonetheless.

    Is there really nobody else with this problem? Really?

  • ITunes Match Upload error

    I have a CD that I purchased through iTunes in 2006 and all but one song has uploaded to iCloud.  The message I get when I try to upload the song "The song was not uploaded to iCloud because an error occurred."  It doesn't tell me why and it seems strange that all songs upload, but that one.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Dennis

    The current iTunes Match service is effectively down at present - so it may be a challenge to resolve for a few days.
    The usual route to resolving such issues is to:
    1.  Securely back-up current library;
    2.  Remove track from library;
    3.  Re-rip from CD in 256 kbps AAC format using iTunes;
    4.  Select Song in library and request 'Upload to iCloud';
    5.  Update iTunes Match from Store menu.
    Best of luck - worst case, there may be a corruption in the original file but it is unlikely if step 3 completes.

  • Library corruption on initial iTunes Match upload?

    Has anyone else seen this behavior? I just subscribed to iTunes Match. It went through the whole parsing of the library and uploaded. But now the library is messed up - some movies were marked as music, music as movies, some song files appear to have been overwritten in the library (the Avengers movie actually replaced "Sing" by the Carpenters - it shows up listed as track 12 of 14, with a mix of entries from the movie and the original song). The original files appear to be untouched (thankfully), so I can probably rebuild the library without too much loss of data.
    Is this a known "feature"? I think the convenience would be wonderful if the music didn't end up scrambled in translation...
    Thanks for any feedback!

    In iTunes turn off iTunes Match and quit iTunes. Then restore the iTunes Library.itl file from your backup that is from before you first turned on iTunes Match.

  • Refreshing iTunes Match upload

    I am now on day 3 of uploading a large library (17000 songs) and it keeps stalling. I have restarted the process a couple of times, but I wonder if there is a way to refresh the process or see what it is stuck on and skip it? I am using a PC.

    i am having the exact same issue - had itunes match since day one without problems and now nothing else will upload

  • ITunes match creates duplicates of all songs a computer upgrade

    So I had a mac mini and over the summer I deleted all my music on my computer and redownloaded using itunes match to get the higher quality for a number of my older rips.
    Fast forward to last month when I upgraded to a macbook air.  Instead of downloading all my music from the cloud again, I just copied it over from my mac mini (running 10.6.8 server) to the new air (10.8) using the add to library option from within itunes.
    Then I put in my apple id and itunes match info into iTunes and it did it's thing.  The problem now is that I have two copies of every song show up in itunes, one on my computer and one in the cloud.  Why didn't iTunes match just "match" the songs? Why is it giving me thousands of duplicates?  Should I just delete all the ones from the cloud and run match again?
    Thanks so much for your help with this, and sorry if this is an issue that has already been resolved, but I couldn't find anything.

    Also, every five seconds iTunes Match decides to run through the three steps again, doesn't actually change anything, just goes rough the steps until complete.  I click on artists or albums or anything else and then iTunes match pops up and runs through the three steps again.

  • ITunes Match isn't Download my Songs From iTunes

    So I just bought iTunes Match, and I decided to do a little test. I took a song that I got from a CD (We Found Love by Rihanna) and I changed the name and album and everything so that it matched the song "International Love (feat. Chris Brown)" by Pitbull. I right clicked the song and clicked "Add to iCloud". And after a couple seconds it said that it "matched" the song to iTunes, not uploaded. I deleted the song from iTunes and from my computer and emptied the Trash too. Then I clicked the little cloud beside the song. It downloaded the song, and it had the right artwork for it, but when I played the song, it played "We Found Love". Am I missing something? Because this doesn't make any sense to me!

    The matching process uses waveform analysis.  I have had songs titled "track o1" get matched. 
    If it didn't work this way, you could duplicate the same song several times, rename it and basically steal music from the iTunes store, something I don't think Apple would be too happy about.
