Itunes match and ios 7

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4s with ios 7.0.2 and itunes Match active. When I make a playlist and I download all songs of the playlist, and I decide to delete one song from the playlist, the music app freeze, and when I close the app from the multitask and restart it, the download don't restart.
Thanks for all.

I used to listen to this all the time YEARS ago. Now I can't even get it in Canada? One of the reasons I sort of hate Apple. It's love hate but leaning more towards hate these days. Bash away Apple lovers.

ITunes Match and iOS 7.0.3 Upgrade - Syncing Issue

I subscribe to iTunes Match for my iPhone 4S. However, I still sync photos, videos, etc from my computer. During both the update to 7.0.3 and 7.0.2, my phone has taken an interminable amount of time to sync after upgrading the iOS. During the last upgrade, i left the phone to sync overnight and found that it had deleted all of the music that I had downloaded to my device - or at least sort of. It was showing these songs as not on the device, however they seemed to still be taking up drive space. Many albums I had downloaded were now showing each track duplicated - one iTunes match version with the cloud next to it, and one downloaded to the device. After trying to remedy the issue many different ways, I found that thing that worked was to erase and restore the phone from back-up, thereby deleting all the music on my device and requiring me to again download songs from the cloud. I just finally got my music collection in good working order again with most of the music I listen to most recently on my device - and now with this latest upgrade it appears I will have to start all over again.
Has anyone else been having this issue? Is this a known problem? Am I doing something wrong?

nope no errors. it goes through the whole syncing processing, saying it's backing up the iphone and what not, but nothing happens on the iphone. i'm thinking i should just restore my iphone, right?

IOS 7, iTunes Match, and downloads to Music -- beware of your first use

I'll explain the situation in a moment. My question for the community is if someone saw a way to avoid this from happening.
I just encountered a perfect storm when I upgraded to ios 7. So far it has cost me $230 in excess data charges.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber.
Before the upgrade to ios 7, ios 6 had an option in Settings -> Music to tell it not to use cellular data. I had cellular data for Music disabled, so many times I'd download a playlist from Match down to my phone and would start this process at home on wifi, leave, and then it would complete later that day when I hit another wifi network.
When I upgraded to ios7, there were some changes in how to control access to cellular data:
(1) Apple removed that control from the Settings -> Music UI
(2) Apple added a menu option called Settings -> iTunes and App Store. In that UI< you have the option of turning iTunes Match on or off, and at the bottom you also have the option enabling cellular data. Just below that, it says "Use cellular data network for automatic downloads and iTunes Match." One of the first things I did after the upgrade, while still on wifi, was turn cellular data off in this UI.
(3) Apple added a UI called Settings -> Cellular, and in there is a UI called "Use Cellular Data For:", and it gives you a list of apps where you can turn cellular on/off for each one individually. Right after the upgrade to ios 7, that list was very short. It didn't have Music or iTunes Match listed, only Mail, Passbook, and a few basic apps.
So after my upgrade, the only place that appeared to control downloads from iTunes Match was the menu in #2, which I had already used to disable cellular data for.
Since I had deleted all my music to make room for the upgrade, I picked a playlist that morning and told my phone to download it. It was about 1GB of music. Then I got on my bike and rode to work woth my phone buried in my bike bag. When I arrived at work, I had a series of text messages from my carrier that I had exceeded my data plan and was now getting charged .25/MB. I was at the very end of a billing month and at the start of my ride only had about 100MB left on my data plan.
So what happened?
Well, as it turns out, the menu for Use Cellular Data For: in #3 above only lists apps once they've used cellular data (except maybe the obvious ones like Mail, Passbook, etc.). And for some bizarre reason, that download wasn't considered "iTunes Match" by ios 7, it was considered a download by the Music app in ios 7. So once I got to work and dug into this, I then found that Music was now listed in the Use Cellular Data For: dialog. So what happened was that I left the house, left wifi, and the phone kept downloading that big playlist on cellular and somewhere, probably right as I was screaming down the hill from my house, the Music app showed up on Use Cellular Data For:. I did some tests with other apps and they only appear on that list AFTER you've used cellular data for them.
Learning this with any other app, or at the beginning of a billing month, would not have been an issue, but my perfect storm of being almost tapped out on my data plan when I left my home wifi network killed me.
I have already contacted my carrier about this, although it's not their fault. I personally think it's Apple's fault for (a) creating a misleading UI for #2 above, and (b) for not listing "Music" in the list of apps in the Use Cellular Data For: dialog immediately after the upgrade.
Anyone else had this problem? If not, and you are an iTunes Match user who has just upgrade to ios 7, you can easily avoid this by downloading one song from cellular to get the Music app to appear in the Use Cellular Data For: list

I am also having problems with smart playlists on OS7 iphone 4s with mountain Lion on my mac
I have two smart playlists, one for music not played in 6 months, the other for zero plays, the other criteria for the lists are media type 'music' and track time ' less than 15 minutes.
These two playlists have 619 items and 108 items respectively in my mac but on the phone it shows 2962 items (for both lists) and a cloud symbol next to the track - although scrolling down, there are some tracks that do not have the cloud symbol - these look like the original 619 and 108 in the lists
Other smart playlists are fine and appear to be not affected

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 *****.

Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my music on Apple TV

Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV

It isn't actually stored anywhere, it needs to be downloaded from the internet before any content can be played.
iTunes Match content is accessed through the 'Music' icon on the main screen though, it needs turning on though in settings first.

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).

ITunes match and iTunes radio skips songs on wifi

iTunes match and iTunes radio have been skipping songs while on wifi. We have a Linksys EA6350 setup in WPA2 personal for both the 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz networks. Both are setup as mixed 802.11n/ac with both on a channel width of AUTO. We are using two Apple TV's, iPhone 5s and a iPad 2. One of the apple TV's is setup as a different iTunes account than the others. It skips songs on all devices and accounts, however when I turn the wifi off on my iPhone both iTunes match and iTunes radio work flawlessly. What should I do?

+1 same issue here.
Not sure exactly when it started, but seems like it was sometime on or after 3/7.
It appears to affect every device I have on the home network (iMac, MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, iPhone, iPad). Most devices are wifi, but I can confirm the issue also occurs on my iMac which is connected via ethernet. I'm able to get both iTunes match streaming and iTunes Radio streaming to the iPhone and iPad if I disable wifi and use LTE.
On my iOS devices, it just looks like it's skipping songs repeatedly...every now and then it might play one song, but it skips 30-50 before that happens. A few times it just kept skipping until the device rebooted itself. On my OS X devices, I don't get any of the skipping, it just looks like it's trying to load the radio station (i get the blue progress bar at 100% but nothing ever happens).
For what it's worth, I'm using an Apple Time Capsule for as my DHCP for ethernet and wifi. My internet provider is Cox Communications.

Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc. Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on. Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa. So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match. I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere. I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now? Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's? If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library? can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on? I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago. I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

Hi mdr1976,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.
See these articles for more information about Home Sharing:

How do i delete iTunes Match and revert to iTunes without it?

My library, multiple devices and the music on my iPhone have all become corrupted since paying the money, subscribing to iTunes Match and turning it on. It has caused sync problems, hanging problems with iTunes that is constantly needing to be reset and now I have had to restore my iPhone four times!
I give up. I'd now like to delete it all and get a refund.

There's nothing to delete. Just pull down the Store menu > Turn Off iTunes Match. You'll need to contact iTunes Store support for a refund.
Also turn it off on the iOS devices.

HT204406 Does anyone else have to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and "Turn On iTunes Match" for it to become available and working on a second computer??

Everyday I get to work and open iTunes. Everyday the iTunes Match logo next to my library is constantly working and never stops. The only way I can have access to my iTunes Match library is to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and "Turn On iTunes Match" immediatly after. It checks libraries and then everything is available.
Is there a reason and a way to have my iTunes Match to work as soon as I open iTunes?
The requirements are met:
iTunes: 10.6.3 (25)
OS X: 10.6.8
Thanks
Marc

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately that did not work for me. I turned off match and let it sit for over 3 hours and music never disappeared. I made sure to turn off auto-lock so the iPhone/iPad didn't go to sleep and neither device ever cleared out the music so I just restored from iCloud backup.
Now the other thing thats strange is I still have autolock turned off and both devices are sitting on the music app and on my iPhone I have the cloud icon going with the status bar and took 3 hours to get it complete the first time and then someone called me and foolishly answered the phone and then it started all over again. On my iPad I don't see the cloud icon but i have the spinning wheel going in the corner for almost 24 straight hours now. I have all my music/artwork back but none of my playlists so I am going to let both these devices sit until the spinning circle stops.
I do have a large library of just under 25,000 songs so maybe thats why its taking so long but I haven't had this issue before iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.

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

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up. I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

I still cannot see all the music; some I downloaded and some I purchased. For example, I downloaded two CDs by The Band Perry; one is on iTunes and one isn't. I purchased iTunes Match before I changed computers so I could transfer it all to my new machine without have to load CDs again. I also purchased some songs that are no longer there.
I looked at the article you referenced and have completed all the recommended steps. I have authorized this computer and updated iTunes match. Is there any way to recover the music I downloaded, as well as purchases I made? (I purchased Viva la Vida by Coldplay and it's not on my iTunes. There may be others, but I haven't noticed any others specifically.)
Very frustrated....any help is appreciated

Help greatly appreciated.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this
