ITunes Match - Can it help me?

Evening all,
I've had a very bad day. My old mac have given up on me today - loosing files, photographs and music. No iCloud present - long story.
So, I still have my iTunes library on my iPad, and I have now installed iTunes on a spare PC.
If I was to purchase iTunes Match, could it sync my music from my iPad's iTunes library to empty library on the PC?
As far as I understand, Home Sharing only syncs purchases from iTunes, and 99% of my library is from good old CDs.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Hannah

Hi,
Match will not solve you problem. The music needs to be in your itunes library on your computer.

When I click on any of my movie or TV shows in Itunes I immediately get an error message that says Itunes has stopped working and closes the program. I can sync the movies and shows to my phone okay but I can't watch on Itunes. Can anyone help?

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

TS1538 I have gone through all troubleshooting steps and can't find a solution. My iPhone is no longer showing up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps and still do not see my iPhone 4 (6.1.3) when I connect with USB to iTunes. Can anyone help?

I'd try removing and then re-installing iTunes. An uninstall will not remove your music etc. That should re-install the usb drivers etc. I don't think you can separately delete and install the drivers.

See:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

I recently had to install a new hard drive in my computer. This caused me to have to reload all content back to my iTunes and iPod. I have many apps on my iPod and i don't know how to transfer those back to my iTunes. Can anyone help?

Right clicking on your ipod in the device list an d choosing "transfer purchases" will copy apps and bought media from iTunes to your computer. Due to the new iTunes library on your new HD, iTunes will erase your ipod during the first sync. To save your data to the computer take a look at this article about saving data from your device to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Basically it's backing up manually, transferring her purchases (apps and bought music), letting iTunes erase the ipod due to the new iTunes library, and restoring from the manual backup again, to get all the data and settings back.
Make sure your new computer account is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

If i subscribe to itunes match can I use this to transfer my music to a new laptop

if i subscribe to itunes match can I use this to transfer my music to a new laptop

Don't.
1) Match would be horribly slow unless you have a tiny library.
2) Match won't transfer all file formats. I am pretty sure it is just music.
3) Match may degrade your music quality if you use high quality file formats.
Why not simply copy the whole iTunes folder to the other computer using an external drive, then start iTunes on the other computer while holding down the option/alt key and select the copied folder? This will copy the entire library intact.

HT204406 my iTunes match can not pass the step 2, it keeps repeat again and again. Pls advise. Thank you.

Very strange. Two items to try:
a. Enable iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields in Song view, sort on status and look for any 'waiting' or 'error';
b. If (a) looks good, establish a new user account, create an empty library and enable iTunes Match, confirm that this provides access to all Songs and is working well.
These are seeking to ensure both no bad Songs or local Library corruption - both are relatively quick.

If I download iTunes Match can I delete stored sings on my iPad and iPhone ?

If I purchase iTunes Match can I delete songs to make room on iPad and iPhone ?

Yes.
Keep in mind that streamed music is actually downloaded to iOS devices to a temporary cache. You will probably want to clear this out periodically.

Delete the .ipsw file on the computer.
Put the device in DFU mode.
Restore as new, once the restore completes, then try restoring from backup.

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
More details here > iOS: Syncing with iTunes
