ITunes match breaks music app on iPhone 4

I've had iTunes Match for about a month and my iPhone 4 music app has been sluggish throughout. Today when I tried to play any music on the phone it refused, I can't play anything. I pick an album, press play and nothing happens - it just stays stuck on zero minutes of the song. So I've had to turn iTunes Match off. It's very disappointing.
I should add that I have a friend who has an iPhone 4S and he has no sluggishness problems, perhaps the iPhone 4 can't handle Match?

I've just discovered my Mac has accumulated 56 crash reports for the Music App this year! I have an iPhone 4 and the iTunes Match service makes the whole phone sluggish.
Did you ever find a solution?

Itunes Match makes Music App stop working on iPhone 4

HT4914 Will iTunes Match upload music from my iPhone?

Thanks!

No, you can only subscribe to iTunes Match and upload music to it from a computer's iTunes - turning 'on' iTunes Match on a phone will, I think, remove your current music from it

Is it possible listen to the itunes radio directly from the Musica App on iPhone?

I'v got an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro. Is it possible listen to the itunes radio directly from the Music App on iPhone?

iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability
Sorry.... Italy is not on the list.

My iTunes library no longer matches the music on my iPhone.

My iTunes library no longer matches the music on my iPhone. How can I sync the music and playlists from my phone onto iTunes without iTunes completely wiping all the music on my iPhone? I'm also afraid I'll lose any newer music.

Plug the device into your computer, open iTunes and sync it.
Why would you be afraid you will lose your new music?
Ideally you should be connecting your device to your computer to transfer purchases made on the device to the computer and the iTunes library on a regular basis. Failure to do this puts you at risk of losing those purchases (and the money you spent on them) in the event your device fails, is lost, or stolen.

Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

Hello gman4354,
It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
Then close the Music app on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itune store ??!

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itunes store ??!
I can do it in my mac why not iphone . This is a really huge mistake compare to android phones

Hi Ferretbite
Thank you for answering me but i dont think you relize what Iam asking for
first itunes store need an American apple ID with an American credit to purchase DIRECTLY from iphone and this all people outside US dont have , so no one outside US and (major countries) can download music directly from thier Iphone
Second , if we assume I can download from itunes , itunes store dont have all the music you need for example Iam in middle east I listen to arabic music and itunes dont have most of the arabic music I listen to and this is a HUGE problem for all costumers in middle east and similiar countries .
Third, mac users can download music from the internet other than itunes store even if it illegal why that ?? and NOT all free websites are illegal like (nogomistars) for arabic music .
I just want to say that I love my iphone and I love apple. But you should give iphone users a free using for their phones like you do with mac users for the reason that i gave it you above .
Sorry for the long reply tc

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set to "use cellular data" to ON. Be aware this will use your mobile data allotment when streaming music.

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone
So I upgrade and uploaded/matched all my songs to iTunes Match. Everything seems to be fine, except I noticed I don't have the genius functionality on my iPhone. Basically the little atom icon is missing. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
Thanks
Chike

This is what works for me.
I do this once: I keep quite a bit of music loaded on my iPhone using the normal sync process with my Mac (via USB cable) prior to turning on iTunes Match (...let's me listen to at least some music even when disconnected from the net, like when on a plane). And then I turn iTunes Match back on (and leave it turned on) and it gives me access to the rest of my music library from iCloud when I have network access (3G or Wifi) for normal listening using my whole library over Match.
I start playing a song on my iPhone (one that doesn't have the iCloud icon)
I click the home button (physical button on iPhone that closes the Music app)
I then double click the home button (opens the task manager at the bottom)
Quit Music (press/hold on the Music icon in the tray until the little red circle with an x appears to quit the app)
Then restart Music (tap the Music icon on my iPhone home screeen)
When the Music app restarts, it opens to the last song playing. if it was one of the songs downloded to my iPhone, it has the litlle atomic symbol again and I can create a genius playlist from it.
FYI: you can enable/disable iTunes Match on the iPhone without affecting songs loaded on your iPhone (even though it says it'll replace your iPhone library, the songs are still there if you enable/disable again). Settings>>>Music>>>iTunes Match on/off.

ITunes Match - Nothing showing on my iPhone - tried all the basics

I have a fair bit of experience with iDevices and have been running Match from the day it was released so I have had a number of glitches which are usually sorted by either switching itunes match on and off, signing into iTunes numerous times, wiping your device etc....
I have recently switched iTunes Match off on my phone in order to wipe it and then back on.. Once back on no music would show. I have tried all the steps listed above, and still once the large cloud with the loading bar dissapears (after showing no loading) there is nothing in my library.
I can confirm that my iTunes is showing all my songs on multiple computers, all 17000 of them.
I am working on a 10mb/s confirmed internet connection,
Please Help.
PS. Loving Apple's offerings, but they don't seem to be hitting the level of quality and service that one would expect when paying the premiums Apple demand.

This should probably sort out the problem for you: Re: iTunes Match - 'No Music' on iPhone 4

My iTunes match not working on my iPhone. Anyoine able to access theirs on an iPhone?

I was informed by an Apple representative that match won't yet work with ios devices becuase it is still in beta testing. Has anyone got itunes match to work with their iphone?

On the east coast in NJ. Cannot access iTunes Match on IOS device or on Apple tv. If I am on wifi, I cannot play any music on my iphone or apple tv. Even those songs downloaded to the iphone wont play. But if I turn off the wifi, then those songs on the iphone will play. On the apple tv, no music from iTunes Match will play. Also failing on my MacBook pro. This needs to get fixed soon.

You would have to create the ringtones.
Google will find several way to do this.
You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.

Both myself and my wife have 2 separate iTunes accounts, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Music purchased on my wife's account appear on our computers iTunes library but my iPad cannot access the music she has purchased. Is there any way to overcome this

The only way to do what you want is to log into your wife's iTunes Store account on your iPad. Doing this will lock you out of your account for 90 days.
