ITunes Match always reverts my ID3 Tags after i fixed them

I am Running 11.1.3 iTunes on 10.9 OSX. I'm to trying to fix my ID3 Tags and every time i do, iTunes Match change them back to the old ones after sometimes 5 minutes, 10 minutes and sometimes 20 minutes. I can even sometime see how single tracks are reverting my changes. Also i'm not able to delete some tracks from the cloud, they always reappear again. I try to find a solution, but i only found one thread which sounded like the same problem i have. But i can confirm it does not have anything to do with the Store > Update iTunes Match Option. The Changes also reverted when i just restart iTunes or over time. The odd thing is when i do my changes, i can find the tracks on my iPhone / iPad till they automatically revert. It's quite frustrating that they is no option to 'override' the tags in the cloud or is there ?

It's starting to look like the problem was the music actually stored on the iPad. Edits made in iTunes would propagate via iCloud to the iPad and affect e.g. Album cover, even album name or artist name. But not grouping. Syncing the iPad would break things in iTunes again, often by duplicating tracks.
I deleted everything off the iPad, and the cloud, and iTunes, re-imported, fixed the problems again, restarted iTunes Match -and the cloud based collection on the iPad is pretty much fixed.
I needed to re-acquire my iPad purchases with the iPad. iTunes can't see them in the store even though it is the same appleId (!).
My classical music collection is trickier. Suppliers of MP3 downloads appear to use the 'artist' tag inconsistently for composer,conductor,orchestra, soloist etc. lots of CDs have two separate performances to make up space (e.g Christmas music by Vaughn Williams & Hodie). iTunes seems to be designed for nothing but pop music! Although if you use 'composer' tags a 'composer' sort appears on the iPad.

Upgraded to iTunes 10 and recently changed ID3 Tags reverted...

Last week I began a process to completely organize my iTunes collection. I was fixing genres, correcting capitalization on song/artist/album titles and deleting unwanted songs and completely wiping them from my hard drive. I had been working on it 3-4 hours a day for at least 6 days. When I did the update, I just now noticed that all that hard work has now just reverted back to the older ID3 tags. Also some of the songs that I know for a fact were completely removed from my iTunes library and hard drive somehow found their way back onto my Mac and into my iTunes library. I'm having to start the process all over again and am extremely annoyed by this. Am I the only one who has experienced this?
*Note: I know the difference between "Keep File" and "Move to Trash" when removing a song from my library.

It looks like iTunes 10 has lost the ability to manage/convert ID3 tags. It's no longer on the Advanced menu, despite what the Help menu suggests.

ITunes Match has reverted my library

Imagine my surprise when I went to listen to music this afternoon only to find that iTunes Match for some inexplicable reason has deleted all playlists I created within the last 3 weeks from all of my devices, it has also resurrected playlists I deleted 3 weeks ago!!! Everything was fine this morning.
All meta data in my library has also reverted without any explanation. Recently played songs are ones I listened to 3 weeks ago. I'm using OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and iOS 7.1.2 on my devices, no iOS 8 betas or Yosemite betas so there's no reason for this to happen!!!
To say I'm irate with iTunes Match is an understatement. I'm turning iTunes Match off permanently and advising people I know to avoid it at all costs it's not worth the hassle, one of the worst apple products I've ever had the misfortune of using.

It's too bad that things have not gotten better on iTunes Match. I cancelled my subscription last year, after running into similar issues. iTunes eats your music and sometimes doesn't give it back. I agree, it's one of the worst products they have right now. If you want a system that works well with keeping your music safe and uploaded, Google Play, is quite good, and even has an iOS app. Good alternative and also auto-uploads your iTunes music purchases whenever you purchase new music.
Just an idea.....

ITunes very slow when updating ID3 tags

Greetings,
I've read about iTunes taking forever "processing file" when people have downloaded songs, but haven't seen a reference to this problem when changing the ID3 tags for songs within the program.
Sometimes it will take many seconds to complete this task, often with the "processing file" box showing up and sometimes with the spinning pinwheel too.
This hasn't always been such a slow process. Usually in the past my tags got updated instantaneously, even if I was changing, say, the album info for a whole batch of songs. More recently, iTunes has been consistently slow in carrying this out.
Any insights would be appreciated.

I also noticed that when iTunes updates the files, it opens multiple little windows with progress bars (I think so because I see only one window but with a very significant shadow -- which look like if there were several windows stacked).
I SINCERELY hope I'm WRONG when I think iTunes does all the updating in parallel, regardless how many songs there are to update............? That would explain a lot...

Itunes 1.8 changed my ID3 tags

I am a DJ in Miami and use iTunes just to organize my music and change ID3 tags (need to access "BPM" and "Genre" field, other programs don't let me do that.
I noticed that some of my songs, after I refresh them, the BPM field get's deleted on some songs. For a DJ, this is VERY VERY VERY bad! Anyway way to go back to 7? I can't afford to lose my ID3 tags. Is this a bug?

Yes, overwriting the BPM tag is a bug in one of the recent iTunes releases. If you are not already on the very latest iTunes, upgrade and see if it has been fixed.

How do I add album artwork to iTunes, but NOT to the ID3 tag, manually?

I imported a lot of mp3s into iTunes. After some messing about with ID3 tags, I got iTunes to download most of the Artwork for my albums.
I've found a lot of the other covers using Slothradio, and I started to copy the images into iTunes. However, I noticed that it was actually adding the images into the ID3tags.
When I checked the music for which iTunes downloaded the covers, it DIDN'T put the artwork into the tags.
So, how do I add the covers to iTunes like it does itself, without putting them in the ID3 tags?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,

How do i get all the tags i see in the iTunes library to be the ID3 tags?

I have a huge collection of mp3 in iTunes (the latest version), and they are all perfectly organized, but when i open those mp3 files in any other player i see old tags or no tags, because the id3 tags on the mp3 files are not the same as the ones i see on itunes. I've tried the "convert id3 tags" tool but it does not seem to help. How do i get the id3 tags to be the same as iTunes tags?

+HEy any reason why you pick version 2.3,+
itunes didn't work well with 3rd-party plugins and v2.4, and former forum regular Otto told me to use v2.3
+what is the difference between the different id3 tag versions..+
read up on it using google

ITunes MATCH fails to load on iPhone4 after updating to IOS 6

iTunes MATCH is failing to fully load (display) on 1 of my 2 iPhone4 telephones after updating both to IOS 6. (My wife and I share the iTunes MATCH library using the same ID).
I have tried Signing Out and back In to iTunes, plus I have tried turning iTunes MATCH On & Off for this one iPhone 4 device, but the iTunes MATCH still fails to load.
The furtherest it ever gets is to display my previous Playlists and my Artists, Albums, etc that are in the cloud ...but the actual songs that are in the MATCH cloud never ever appear at all ...even after waiting hours!
The IOS 6 update seemed to work fine for both of our iPhone version 4 phones, but like I said above, only 1 of the phones is able to play music from iTunes MATCH now. This previous worked fine under IOS 5.1 for almost a year.
We also own an Apple TV 2nd generation and an iMAC with OS X 10.6.x, ...and those 2 device are also able play music that we have stored in the iTunes MATCH cloud with No Problem.
The issue seems to be with only this one phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a suggested fix for this?

This helped me my repair my iPhone4's locally corrupted iTunes library (which calls my iTunes Match account) for all my music and music-video collection! It took all of 5 minutes to repair.
1. Google/download/install iExplorer (free program).
2. Plug in iPad or iPhone first, then open iExplorer.
3. Delete the iPad\Media\iTunes_Control folder's 3 Media SQL files.
4. Turn on iCloud/match in iPhone's (iPad's) iOS settings, which replaced the iPads music library with iCloud
A big THANK YOU to Michael Allbritton for pointing my in the direction of this solution!
Finally a note to Apple:
You will have to incorporate a way for users to view and self-repair the inner workings of their appliances if you wish to continue to sucessfully compete in this market ...remember what happened to Nokia for not forseeing the touch screen display many years ago! I would never expect my Mother, my young wife or even my teenage son to download something like "iExplorer" and use it to delete 3 corrupted database files; therefore, dear Apple, please incorporate the self-diagnosis and repair functionality offered by an iPhone Explorer type system into your iTunes software ...or something similar to that! Get with the program!

Itunes Match not working on Iphone 4 after update to IOS 5.1

Hello,
Itunes Match has never been an issue for me in the past. After I updated to IOS 5.1, I accessed my music app and noticed that Itunes Match was only showing artists that started with the letter "A" And "B". So I turned match off, turned it back on and now itunes match shows a picture of a cloud and a progress bar. the bar takes hours to move about half way, and then the app will just tell me that I don't have any music and I can dowloand music from itunes.
My wife is not having any issues with match on her iphone 4 and my ipad 2 running IOS 5.1 is also not having any issues.
I have tried signing in and out of the Itunes store, turning on and off Itunes match, doing a hard reboot of the phone, I have rest and deleted everything on my phone and restored from a icloud back up. I even tried to see if I could delete the music app data by going under settings/general/usage.....but the music app says it has "no data".
This is Very frustrating for me, and I can't figure out what i can do to make my phone load my music match library again. I thank you for any suggestions/help that you may have in advance!

Exactly the same ting has happened to me over te past few days with my ipad2... I too resorted to setting my ipad2 up as a new device again to get match working... There is definitely something screwy happening on 5.1 I think... It was fine till I updated

Certain iTunes "matched" albums produce high pitched whine after downloading the "matched" version?

I have been begun using iTunes Match and I have encoutered a problem. After importing two of my "Stargate SG1" soundtrack CDs (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stargate-sg-1-soundtrack-from/id28057422 and also http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/best-stargate-sg-1-soundtrack/id285158287), a very noticeable high pitched whine is heard during playback. This is not a problem with my macbook pro as the downloaded file on my iPhone makes the same noise. What is up with these tracks? Is there something I can do to fix it? These copies that produce the high pitched whine were the files directly downloaded after the match (so I could enjoy the higher bit rate). What's going on?

I called Apple today to get my 24.99 back! This has been the worst exprience I have ever had. At first I was excited that almost all my songs were matched. I figured I would be able to upgrade the 128 to 256. YEAH OK!!!
What it did was give me all radio versions of my hip hop music not to mention stuff like korn. I couldn't handle it anymore. I decided that I would feel a whole lot better ripping them all over again at 256 myself

Odd iTunes glitch -- always plays the same song, after the song I selected...

After one song plays on iTunes, it always next plays one particular song -- not the next song on the list, but a specific track, every time. I'd like iTunes to simply play the next track down. How can I fix this?... thanks very much --

Do you have the the Repeat feature turned one? It is the arrowed racetrack on the left side of the Now Playing Screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it is white for no repeat.
Next:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT203167 My iTunes Match does not work, it stops after the first step and won't do anything else!!!

Hello, I purchased iTunes Match for my new iPhone five and it is intended to move the music from my computer to my other computer, but it stopped working on my MacBook Pro, it stopped after the first step. So, my question is, can iTunes Match work if the iTunes in question has other accounts attached to it, of not, can I get a refund on a service that does not work?

I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

Will iTunes Match change all of the tags on my songs?

I have changed many of the song titles, and albums etc. When I use iTunes Match will it change them all to what they are on iTunes?

Hi,
No. Match only works with music in your computers iTunes library.
You will need to copy your music from the ipad to your computer. If you search the web, you will find apps that will allow you to do this.
