ITunes Match and Song information remaining on the iPhone

Is any one else experiencing this issue?
I am using an iPhone 4, running 5.0.1 and using iTunes Match.
I either stream or download a song from the cloud on my iPhone and then delete it from my device.  After it is deleted, I connect my iPhone to my Mac and go to the Music folder under the device on the left hand side of iTunes. The information for the streamed and downloaded songs remaing on the device.  I looked at the available space before and after a test I did on my iPhone for what I think is a potential bu in iOs 5, and while the songs were deleted on the device the information remains (ie. song name, artist, kind, etc).  This information takes up space on the device, even though it is just text.  In addition, the songs that were streamed and downloaded to the device are shown greyed out, they are not selectable , and there is no way to delete them without a restore.  Also, if you download the same song multiple times (ie. 2x) , the information is shown 2x.
The funny thing is, this does not happen on my iPad 1.
I tried calling Apple about this and their solution is to restore the device and or they do not seem to understand the problem.
Please let e know if anyone else is experiencing this as well or if there is an actual solution.
Thank you.

  • 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.

  • ITunes Match and gapless information?

    I've got a bit of troubles with iTunes Match, some more annoying than others... Of course like everyone some of my songs were uploaded instead of matched (but not that much) but I can live with that. I have 2 other problems though that bother me more:
    - one is  the fact that some songs were wrongly matched, so I get another version of the song that don't fit with the album I'm having (for example the Pulse Live from the Pink Floyd, some songs seem to come from another live and the whole album is then worthless)
    - another one is that gapless information seems not to be synchronized, so all the albums that I've downloaded from iCloud and that should be gapless are just not listenable.
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    Any tips?

    Hey David,
    I've done some more tests and I've finally nailed it down. You're gonna have the problem also on your iPhone/iPad. What's happening here is that you add new files to your library and the gapless information is calculated. When those songs are 'matched', the versions you're gonna get on your devices are gonna be different from the ones on your computer but the gapless information is gonna be the same, so of course it's not gonna work. The solution is to delete the files from your library locally, but to keep them in iCloud first. Once this is done, you can download the iTunes Store version of the songs, then you'll end up with the same on your devices and your computer. But doing this will not trigger the gapless information calculation. To do it, you have to the files locally AND from iCloud. The songs entries have to disappear completely from iTunes. That is stupid because you're gonna lose the ratings and the play counts, but it's the only way to get the gapless information correct. Then you add back the files, and run iTunes Match. Your information is gonna sent to Apple, and when you download the songs on your devices, gapless is working flawlessly.
    It should help.

  • I am using iTunes Match, and wish to restore from the cloud to itunes. Why do I have to select one at a time to download?

    I am using iTunes Match, and had to restore all of my music (.3000 songs). Problem is, I don't see where can restore them all at once. I can do it for all purchased items from the Cloud, but not for songs/content that I added on my own from CD's. I have had to click the cloud icon for each song....really, my hand is about to cramp. Is there a restore all function for non-purchased songs? If not, it needs to be added to the Match software.
    Thanks

    Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud.  Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

  • HT204406 Problem with iTunes Match and songs purchased under an old ID

    I have songs purchased thru iTunes in 2007 under an old and no longer used ID.  They all appear in the list of purchased music but will not match and appear as DRM files on my Mac (hence the error).  How do I get this resolved?

    What do I need to do to authorize my new computer to play these songs with my current ID? 
    Marla, 
    You can't.  The old songs are associated with the ID under which they were originally purchased, and there is no way to change it.
    You will have to authorize your computer for both the old and new IDs.

  • I purchased iTunes Match and when applying it to my iPhone, it erased all my music.  I still have the library on my ipad2, how do I get it back on the iphone and share it on the cloud?

    I purchase iTunes Match.  When I applied it to my iphone5, it erased my music library.  Even when I restored my backup, the library was not there.  I still have all of the music on my ipad2.  I thought that iTunes Match would allow me to put my library of music on the new MacBook I purchased last week.  What did I do wrong and how do I get the music onto my MacBook and back onto my iphone?

    For iTunes Match to work, your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer.

  • Recently when I log on to itunes, my computer tries to connect to the itunes store and then just remains blank. the screen is white and I cannot even connect to itunes help from the itunes tab  ... help!

    Recently, when I open itunes I cannot connect to the itunes store. It shows that it is connecting then the screen is blank and remains blank. I cannot even open the itunes help section from itunes. I had to log on to the support sight from my browser. Any ideas????

    Hi.
    I have spent the past 10 days trying to solve this problem of “iTunes Store” no longer opening.
    During this time of emailing backwards and forwards to iTunes Support nothing they suggested worked. All the links they sent didn’ toffer any help. I was basically just being told to delete iTunes and then reinstall it again.
    After this long period of emailing each other every day,they finally told me that I need more detailed Technical Help and gave me a phone number to call their Apple Telephone Technical Help line.
    When I explained all of the above, the man I was speaking to said did you delete EVERYTHING connected with iTunes, to which I said that I had deleted iTunes so I assumed that would be it. I was then told that this was the problem, I was not told to also delete Quick Time and Bonjour etc., infact everything else connected with iTunes.
    So this is the procedure:
    Control Panel/ Delete/Uninstall a Program
    Then delete ALL of the following: “Apple ApplicationsSupport”, - “Apple Software Update”, - Bonjour, - “iTunes”, - “Quick Time”.
    Finally, go to ‘Start’/’Search’ then type in iTunes and then you will see appear a whole string of at least 10 files all with the word ‘iTunes’ in each file name. DELETE EVERY ITEM. You should have now entirely cleared your computer of everything connected with Apple iTunes.
    Now, Reinstall iTunes, which will reinstall everything you have just deleted explained above.
    Result?  It all workedagain!!

    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:

  • I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Anyone have a solution?

    I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

    I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
    However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

  • I just got iTunes Match and I would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data?

    I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

    Hi,
    Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

  • Problem with iTunes Match and the song "This will be (an everlasting love)" from Natalie Cole

    Hello,
    I'd like to report a problem with iTunes Match and Natalie Cole's song "This will be (an everlasting love)".
    When I stream it or download it on another device I don't get Natalie Cole's song but another one from Maxine Nightingale (Right back where we started from).
    Please tell me if you have the same problem or how I can report this problem to apple.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    This is a user to user forum - not Apple. Contact them http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Alternatively if the song was purchased from iTunes, you may be able to report the problem by signing into you iTunes account on your computer. Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store

  • HT204406 Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available but none of my playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac there looks to me no issues

    Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available  on my apple TV, and there is a tab for playlists. Yet the only playlists available are the Preset itunes generated 4: 90's music, Classical Music videos, and Recently Added. Yet even the recently Added playlist does not contain my most recelty added music purchased form iTunes and shows that is in the Cloud. None of my other playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac, there looks to be no issues relating to them and the cloud. Even tried making a new playlist. It made no difference. It would be nice to figure out how to have my music available on my TV without having to open up my computer everytime. Yes I know I can use my cell phone but, I'd like to put my photos to music and to set that up I need the Itunes Match playlists to WORK

    Hi I had exactly the same problem, I don't know if you setup your Apple TV before you subscribed to iTunes I match? If you did then I did the same and although all my songs showed up on my Apple TV none of my playlist did.
    This is how I fixed it I went into settings on the Apple TV menu and reset the device back to factory default, I then setup the unit again adding in my iTunes username and password etc, ticked the bix that says turn on I match and then went into music
    It took a few moments but it said updating once this finished I checked playlists and all my playlists as per my desktop PC were showing up!
    I hope this Helios resolve your problem too :)

  • Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud

    Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud.

    I spent time last night reloading the missing songs.  It did not take too
    long, as you indicated much of the data existed at some point in the
    Cloud.  Seems part of my library was duplicated on my main itunes computer
    and that caused some confusion.  Turned off and turned on Itunes match on
    my work PC and Iphone and everything was available again for streaming.
    Hopefully I don't run into this next year at renewal time.  I do back up
    to a hard drive and can use my ipod as a reference back up.
      When it works the Icloud/Itunes back up and streaming is excellent.
    Although initially last year it took 7 days to load my library.
