Itunes match and icloud

Hi infortunetly like many people i have put all my eggs in one basket and am beholden to what ever Apple tells me what i can and cannot do with their products. When i bought the new iPhone 5 and updated I had a really hard time putting music into it through Itunes after an incredibly painfull amount of searching i realised i had to turn off match which now as we know I lose the ability to share my music through Icloud for all my respective devices. when I went to turn it (Match) back on after completing the import of hard copy music to my drive on my iPhone. Match and/or Icloud tells me it's going to remove my entire library is this true. I like to listen to my music all the time as many of us do. If i am at my cottage fairly remote No internet No cellular data service etc. how will i listen to my music if its in virtual world. does anybody understand what im trying to convey.

Yes, it's completely confusing.
Some people (and Apple) like things to work automatically in the way Apple thinks you want to use them but many of us would prefer more manual control and would like to mix syncing of audio with cloud services.
I haven't updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 yet but from what I've read different recent OS versions have worked a little differently when it comes to iTunes Match and the cloud some offering more control over the content than others - I must admit to being thoroughly confused so hopefully someone will provide you with a definitive answer (for now).

  • Connect 2 iPhones with 2 different apple ids to the macbook for updates and backup through iTunes match and iCloud. How can i make that happen?

    We have a mac book pro and 2 i phones 4S. We both have different Apple Id's. But we would like to connect both phones to the mac book in order to update photos and itunes match. I subscribed with my apple id to itunes match and it automatically updates apps, music, books etc. However the apple id of my husbands phone is not recognized so his music, apps etc are not automatically updated. The same happens with icloud.
    How can we make the mac book recognize both phones?

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • ITunes Match and iCloud accounts are different.

    I bought my mom this iPad Air 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to get it so that she can have access to my iTunes Match account. I made the account on my AppleID so I can control the library for them. When I first set up her iPad, all her pictures and stuff were there. Then I changed the settings so that she could access the iTunes Match account, it still is using her AppleID for her iCloud but now it's my AppleID in the iTunes for the iTunes Match access and her pictures are no showing up anymore.
    I'm SURE there has to be a way for iTunes Match to use my ID for that and still load all her pictures from her AppleID from her phone... right?
    I should clarify, on my AppleID I don't have any apps, nor do I have an Apple product, I only signed up for an AppleID so that I could use it to get iTunes Match and control the playlists for them and everything. So she's logged in to her AppleID for iCloud and logged into my AppleID for the iTunes Match account. The pictures are all gone now though.

    It stays on your phone until you delete it.  If you download a song, album or artist, you can delete them by swiping across the title and tapping delete.  If you play a song without downloading it, it is stored in cache memory on your phone.  As you phone starts to reach full capacity, older and less frequently played songs begin to automatically be deleted from cache.  Or, to remove them all, occasionally go to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

  • New iTunes updates contain iTunes Match and iCloud.

    Can they be turned off, no need for them, I like my music on my computer and nowhere else but I would like to continue getting updates to correct issues and other fixes.
    Thanks

    Yes.
    iTunes Match requires you to sign up and pay.
    iCloud can be turnad off in System prefs > iCloud.

  • I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
    Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
    ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • HT4913 If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will my music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud?

    I have a large music library on my iPad, that is not currently on iCloud or on my main PC. If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will the music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud? Or will I loose all that music?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Tap the song you wish to download.

  • HT201269 Now that I installed Match and icloud I tried to sync my ipod and the previous songs that were on my lap top in itunes that i copied from CD's will not transfer over to my ipod.

    That is correct. This
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    says:
    When you enable iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.

  • If I subscribe to iTunes Match and later don't renew, will that impact the songs I've stored on my PC or phone or only the central storage in iCloud?

    If I subscribe to iTunes Match and later don't renew, will that impact my access to music I have stored on my devices or will it only end my access to the central storage in iCloud?  Thank you!

    It won't delete anything in your iTunes library on your computer but you would lose access to anything in your iTunes Match library that isn't stored in your iTunes library on your computer.  You would obviously need to sync your music to your phone from your computer using iTunes again.

  • Used iTunes match and states 2400 songs matched, yet no icloud matching

    Used iTunes match and states 2400 songs matched, yet no icloud logos next to my songes except a few indicating duplicates and no songs match to my iphone. Help. I've tried re-matching, turning icloud off/on. no luck. No songs now on iphone. Any suggestestion.

    If you right-click on the header bar above your music and select "iCloud Status" it'll show you exactly what their status is and if they've been matched, uploaded or are still waiting to be processed and/or uploaded.
    You may need to quit iTunes and relaunch it to kick-start the process again if Match says it's done but your libraries show differently.

  • 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

  • ITunes Match and playlists broken in iOS 8

    Since updating to iOS 8 I can no longer add songs to playlists from my phone (I have iTunes match).  When attempting to add a song sometimes it gets stuck in the add screen and does not show a "done" button to press or if I add one, it just doesn't add it to the playlist.  I can however add songs to the playlist from my mac and it will show up on my phone like normal, just unable to add from my phone.
    Other iTunes or music app issues are songs not showing up where they should.  I had a song that downloaded from a pre-order, I changed the genre to one of the main genre's I use (like normal), added it to a playlist, and now that the entire album has become available and has downloaded the first track is not able to be found through either genre (either original or my own altered genre) or artist although it still shows up on the playlist.
    One more thing about adding songs to a playlist on iOS.  I was glad to see that one of the buttons on the bottom (in the add screen) is playlists now as an option to add a song but if you edit the buttons on the bottom and move genre down there, it doesn't stay put.  It's back on the "more" screen each time.
    Here's a suggestion to any apple folks if they're reading this, besides fixing the things above, how about from the song playing screen when you press the + button that an option is to "add to playlist".  When you click on that it brings you to your playlist view to select a playlist.  It's a pain in the butt when say you're listening to a song on shuffle, want to add said song to a playlist so you have to back out of the song playing screen, find the playlist (for which I have multiple layers due to playlist folders) click the add button, find the song (after you move genre to the bottom again) then click on the plus sign, hit done, make sure it took it, back out of the playlist view to get back to Now Playing.  For people like me who take advantage of iTunes Match and have a lot of music in their libaray, Genre and playlists are the easiest and quickest ways to find what I want to listen to and at times it's not very efficient.
    Thanks for your considerations and eventual fixes.

    iTunes Match has this problem with almost every iPhone software update. It's unfortunate that they cannot track down the issue. Hopefully this is not indicative of Apple's expertise when it comes to all cloud services. Music, photos and personal data are things that are important to all of us and we spend many hours on custom playlists, personal photo albums and are putting our trust that the work won't just disappear. iCloud drive is another promised feature and it's becoming tougher to trust a new free service when long-standing issues on a paid service cannot be fixed. I want to remain optimistic but so far, iTunes Match is not helping.
    On a positive note, the playlists on my Apple TV matches perfectly with my iMac and was working well on my iPhone 5S. The update to iOS 8 on the 5S did NOT cause the playlists to go out of order. I have only seen this issue on new iPhone 6's and iOS 8. Also, moving playlists in and out of folders in iTunes on a Mac seems to be a temporary fix that only lasts as long as you are logged in – Signing out of iTunes Match on iOS and signing back in brings back the problem… which *****.
