ITunes Match & AppStore Apps

Can someone with iTunes match answer a question for me before I decide to enroll? I'm curious to know if in face music store in iCloud using iTunes match works with apps avail in AppStore? In other words, if I download an app to create an ringtone, will the iTunes match tracks show up in the app or do they have to be the original song synced to the music app? Or if I wanted to use Djay, the music turntable app, does the iTunes match tracks show up or sync has to be done? Thanks.

Got ya. Apples post on the page "Once your music is in iCloud, you can stream it to any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud. To listen to a song, tap the iCloud icon next to it and your song starts playing. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you want to play is stored on your device. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without taking up storage space." had me a little confused because it says stream to the device where as when clicking the cloud, it in fact downloads. But cool... I think I'm sold. Thanks for helping with the understanding.

ITunes Match, Music App Crash (even while playing a song)

Ok,
I read a lot of posts about this. There doesn't seem to be one concerte answer. I also notice that I get prompted often for my iTunes Password. Not sure if that is to connect to iTunes Match or Itunes Apps updates.
Either way after Re-Opening the Music App on my Iphone 4 3-4 times and select a playlist (I created on PC) and start playing a song, my phone goes to the lockscreen as usual and blackens. So my songs are playing, then I decided to unlock my phone. Since the Music app was the last app open it still shows the last Song that was being played before it locked the screen. Then after 10-20 seconds of hagning there, the APP closes! The current song stops playing, and I have to repoen the Music App 3-4 times again.
REALLY ANNOYING!
Getting my playlists to sync correctly is a hassle too. I hate wanting to add a song to the playlist on the iDevice itself without updating iTunes Match with the changes I made. Does it push that change from my iPhone to my iPod only once I run Update iTunes Match?
I'm trying to make the most of this but it does have plenty of issues!

yes i have the same problem and it has happened 4 times now .. It is ridiculous .. Putting right off Apple Devices .. seem to be getting like Microsoft ... Too Buggy.. How can your music just vanish ?

IPhone 4 iTunes Match music app crashes.

iTunes Match used to crash my iPhone 4 music app on a regular basis. 6.0.0 fixed that but as of 6.0.1 it's back and even worse than before.. Any suggestions?

having the same problem? did you fix it?

Itunes and appstore apps deleted from Ipad???

I was on Vacation last week, when the two apps left the Ipad. I just tried restoring and resyncing and still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get them back?

First try connecting your ipad right click and install from backup. if you don't see the app or itunes store...
...do a full restore. While it is restoring click on Itunes -> preferences -> Devices and delete your backup copy
Or you can just Jailbreak it by going to jailbreakme.com on your ipad

TS1702 after upgrading my 4s to iOS6, my iTunes and AppStore icon apps disappeared? how can I download them again?

How can I re-download the iTunes and AppStore apps?

Hi & sorry to butt in it's just that I've got a similar problem with my iPhone4S, only my Restrictions are set to "OFF!" with a pass code barring & cannot remember password to turn them "ON" I can't afford to start my iPhone to an afresh state because my contacts etc are a valued part of my own run business,I would rather have "no Apps" than "no contacts" Please could u tell me...if I try your theory of: Settings > General > Reset Home Screen Layout...Would this return my Apps badge or not? or would I risk losing something else by doing so? Thats if any of the above options are at all possible with the restriction settings & forgotten code my iPhone possesses
kind regards

ITunes Match, AOL Account, Apple ID

So here's my dilemma. I tried to sign up for iTunes Match on my mac but was told I couldn't because I was still using my old AOL account for iTunes and iOS App Store purchases (this is not an Apple ID, this is from when iTunes allowed you to sign in directly with an AOL Account). I was prompted to convert to an Apple ID but when I try to go through with it, I get an error "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed" I've tried multiple times over multiple days and still get this error.
I do have a real Apple ID created during the MobileMe days which I use for iCloud services and Mac App Store purchases. I'd just iTunes Match my library to this Apple ID, but all my iOS Apps are attached to my old AOL account, and iOS only allows one Apple ID to be assigned to both iTunes Match and App Store purchases. My assumption is that if I changed that to the newer Apple ID then all my apps purchased under my AOL account would no longer be able to redownloaded or updated directly from my iphone or ipad. Does anyone have any solutions to this?

I don't really have any good suggestions for you except to say if you have an Apple Store near you perhaps someone at the Genius Bar can help you.

How do I permanently delete songs not on my computer but are showing with a cloud (available to download). Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

I have songs showing with a cloud that my son at some time purchased that I want permanently deleted. They are not on any computer but can be downloaded by clicking on the cloud. I want them permanently deleted not hidden. Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

Managing app updates with more than one Apple ID is overly complicated as you need to sign in and out of each account in turn, so you may want to avoid creating more accounts it either has been used to purchase apps. For media it isn't quite so bad, but Apple devices are limited to holding protected content from up to five Apple IDs so again I would caution against creating new accounts unless you really have to. I doubt that is the solution in this case. As given, if you hide the purchases in question, sign out, then sign in again, they should no longer appear unless already downloaded to the device, in which case delete them from it directly. In extreme cases where the device "knows" it has some piece of content on it that it won't let you access or delete the resolution is to backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore the backup you made earlier.
See also Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions and Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing. I don't use either of these features so I don't have any practical expereince over and above what is in those support documents but perhaps they will help.

Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

Hello everybody
My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
Thank you in advance

I would strongly recommend you not do this. You will regret it.
I have played with this issue a lot. You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there. You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again. This really is not what you want to do.
Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music. You don't want to go though the other process.
Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id. if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app. You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time. They are all linked together.

One account for apps, one for iTunes Match. Work well?

Who out there buys iPhone apps on one account, and is subscribed to iTunes Match on another account?
Constant authentication when swapping from buying apps to listening to music, or not?

Actually, no, it doesn't require re-authentication of the computer every time. The problem arises with iTM enabled,whenf you log out of that account and into another then you are locked out of the original account for 90 days. So, no, this method will not work well.
Just out of curiosity why do you do it this way? It seems very cumbersome to me.

I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS. iTunes Match is on. Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed. Just happened when updating iTunes Match. Solutons?

I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory. I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone. Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed. This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6. It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes. Ideas?

Hi Moonage Daydreamer01,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues on your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with iTunes Match, you may find the information and troublehshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support

HT204406 Since updating to ios6 on my iPhone 4S iTunes Match has not worked. The app stays open for about five seconds before crashing. With ios5 it was great and worth paying for. Now it is utterly useless. Apple, please listen and fix this problem.

Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
Has anyone else found a solution?
Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.

After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

ITunes match, apps and different IDs

Hi,
i know this question has probably been asked many, many times but i am struggling to find a concise answer. so apologies to all who already advised on this matter...
So - i want to subscribe to iTunes Match using my Apple ID. However...
I would also like my wife to access this Match account on her iPhone. We have no problem with this deleting any of her playlists or with the music content she has access to - it is all shared anyway. BUT she has her own Apple ID that she uses to get Apps. These are different to the Apps i get and use under my ID (and the one i will use for Match).
If she links to my match account:
what happens to her Apps?
can she still update them when updates are available?
can she access and download Apps previously purchased from her account but that are no longer on her iPhone?
And one last question - I presume (and hope) that this Match linking will have no impact on her notes, mail, calendar etc...
many thanks for anyones support in this - seeming simple maybe, but messing with my head right now!
Cheers
Stu

Hi Stu996,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I've included a few links below to help answer your question.
The iTunes Match subscription is tied to one Apple ID account.
So, if you purchased it on your Apple ID, your wife could access your music by using Home Sharing across your home network, but she would maintain her own iTunes library and purchases with her own Apple ID.
Another option is to use one Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases and a separate Apple ID for iCloud services.

HT204074 I have a family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps and then two iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match?

I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

ITunes Match and 3rd Party Apps - iPad/iPhone

With the myriad of apps out there that integrate with iTunes, why is it that nearly none of them offer support for iTunes Match? (And, a seemingly cool one that claims to offer support -- "BeatBlaster" -- http://www.beatblaster.com/ -- that has all the features I'm looking for, isn't available in the App Store in the US). I'm really surprised at the lack of information on this topic on the web... A Google search for it only pulls up articles that are 2-3 years old. The best information I could find was that the API toolset made available to developers is either really limited, or it's just not available at all... and that's in an article from 2011. Are you telling me that Apple is STILL -- 3+ years later -- limiting access to developer tools for iTunes Match integration (or just has never created any)? I understand that I'm asking about something that could be considered "outside" of Apple (3rd Party apps), but I'm just really looking for someone that might be in the know on this stuff... And, I'm hoping that that person can clue the rest of us in on "what's up".
Bottom line, I'm looking for a clock radio app that supports iTunes Match... I've got our Master Bedroom and Bath rigged up with in-ceiling speakers, attached to a bluetooth receiver, with a wall-mounted iPad serving as the "jukebox". When my dang iPad doesn't drop the WiFi connection, it's pretty slick. I'd just like to have a single app that a) offers a large, well-visible clock, b) allows me to browse my iTunes Match library of songs and play them as I'd like, and c) have a "play my iTunes music as an alarm" option. I know... directly d/l-ing songs to the iPad is an option, but it defeats the whole purpose of iTunes Match, which I subscribe to because my music library is WAY too big to fit on the iPad (or my iPhone).
Anyway, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You'll have to ask the software makers this question. It is up to the 3rd party vendors, not Apple, to provide the features you are asking for.

Cellular Data for iTunes Match but not for app updates

In iOS7 we can now have App updates downloaded automatically. Great. But if I want to use cellular data to stream songs from my iTunes Match library in iCloud when I'm on the road, but don't want to waste cellular data on App updates how can I do this? It appears that enabling cellular data for iTunes Match also requires using cellular data for any of the four auto download features as well in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Am I seeing this correctly and is there a way to fix this? I don't want to use cellular data for app updates, just for iTunes Match streaming. Any help would be great.

This looks like the same problem I've come across. From what I have been told, they are not separate, ie if you enable use cellular data to stream songs from iTunes Match you also have to download updated apps if you have it set to automatically download them.
I think this should definitely be separated.
The other thing you could do it go to another streaming music provider and then turn cellular downloads off. That's what I'm looking at doing.
