ITunes Match changing status on purchased songs

I hope some one can help. The other day I found out that my iTunes Match was off. When I turned on I started doing the same thing it did when I first used it. I didn't mind at moment. Later I notice that some of the songs I purchased previously started showing up as uploaded instead of purchased or matched. Beside that everytime I add a new song to my library they never get matched even thought it was purchased on the iTunes Store. This all happen after I upgrade the iTunes to 11.0.2. Now iTunes doesn't give the option of deleting songs from the iCloud instead now they get hide. How can I fix this? Is there a way of erasing all uploaded songs from the iCloud? I understand that I can't delete all songs from iCloud since the matched ones actually come straight from Apple. But what about the uploded ones?
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to try to get purchased status back, delete the tracks from your library and move to trash, select hide in cloud.
Now go to the iTunes Store, select purchased and download the tracks again. If the tracks were previously protected AAC, they may no longer be available in store and wil be uploaded.

  • ITunes Match just added old purchased songs, I don't want those songs anymore. I just want my music to be iTunes quality.

    I purchased iTunes Match, and all I noticed that it did was pull songs I purchased from iTunes many years ago. Songs that I don't want anymore. I just want songs that weren't purchased from iTunes to get uploaded and converted to better quality. Did iTunes do this for me, and I just didn't see it? Or did I purchase something, and didn't get the expected results? How can I get iTunes to upload and convert my lower quality music?
    iTunes 10.5.3.3 on a PC.

    That's odd for sure.
    Anyway, first set the iPod to manage the songs manually.
    Then, select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, and click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear". The songs should be deleted from the iPod.
    Now you can change the iPod back to your auto sync preference.

    Multiple Apple IDs (2) with Purchases & iTunes Match. Apple TV Purchases. Not happy to have to log in/out to view and enjoy my Purchase Contest. What's the solution?

    Hi
    i ran into the same problem. surprisingly though, i am not using multiple apple id and just one mac.
    i did change both the account (apple id) and the computer (from pc to a mac server), but home sharing is on and the apple tv (1) is synced with the new computer.
    i can connect to the itunes store and browse through it (signed in at all times). i cannot purchase any content and cannot play transferred rentals from the computer (apple tv is not authorised...)
    somehow, it seems the apple tv was stuck with a previous id.
    i have just now re-authorised my computer on the account and will give the apple tv another try. i did notice a message during the re-authorisation process. the apple tv is being authorised. this gives me hope.
    in any case, your setup seems to be a dream come through. i decided to phase out my high end multiroom linn kivor system (over 20k back 6y ago) to an itunes based system. apparently you managed to build something.
    i tried an itunes based nas but gave up due to complex operation (and overheating on top) and went for a mac server. i will be using windows clients though.
    most of my content is cd based. can you sync purchased content between pc's? or with a server?

  • How do I tell iTunes Match NOT to upload a song / audio file?

    I produce music in Logic Pro and later play in iTunes for additional listening and testing.  How do I tell iTunes Match NOT TO UPLOAD certain songs or audio files?   I have to continously delete files from the cloud.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    It's all or nothing with iTunes Match. If the track is a valid format it either matches or uploads.
    Do you want to keep the tracks in itunes? If so, I suggest that you create a second blank library then turn on match. This will show all your tracks in the cloud. If a track uploads, you can delete it from the cloud using this new library. When you revert to your original library, the track will still be present but the iCloud status will now be "removed" instead of "uploaded". You can see iCloud status in song view by going to menu > view > view options and tick box. Match will now ignore this track when scanning your library.

    Hello susanserio
    Try Deauthorize your account and then Authorize the account to see if any changes occur. Also there may a resolution in the second article that can be helpful as well.

  • ITunes Match doesn't upload any songs.

    I've got a problem with iTunes match on iTunes 11 on my MacBook Pro 10.8.2. At Step 3, iTunes Match doesn't upload any songs! It stops and starts again with Step 1. At the end, I've error 4002. Turn on/off Genius/iTunes Match didn't worked ! I need help

    Power-cycle your internet modem and the router (if you have one). Otherwise just let it keep running. There's really nothing else you can do.

    Not sure what you mean.
    Your playlists are only where you put them.

  • HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;

    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

  • Will iTunes Match change all of the tags on my songs?

    I have changed many of the song titles, and albums etc. When I use iTunes Match will it change them all to what they are on iTunes?

    Hi,
    No. Match only works with music in your computers iTunes library.
    You will need to copy your music from the ipad to your computer. If you search the web, you will find apps that will allow you to do this.

  • ITunes Match won't upload new songs.

    iTunes Match gets stuck "sending information to iTunes" when I add new songs to my library.

    I just started having this issue on Sunday 7-27-14.  I've successfully Updated my iTunes Match with several new albums over the last several days and then all of a sudden yesterday iTunes Match is stuck on Step 2: Matching your music with songs in the ITunes Store.  All of my music and my main iTunes library are on my iMac desktop.  Although I don't think this matters the music I'm having the issue with is the Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare.  It has 12 songs.  One song, #3, D is for Dangerous matched and is in my library.  It can be accessed/downloaded from my other devices running my iTunes Match. (iPhone 5 and Macbook Air).  The other 11 songs are stuck in the Waiting iCloud Status when viewing them in my songs list on the iMac.  What is weird is that the other 11 songs do show on my iPhone and Macbook but they can not be played/downloaded.  They are there but are faded out with no download symbol next to them (except for #3). See photos.  In the middle photo you will see that 9544 of 9555 songs have been checked. It is the 11 songs from the Arctic Monkeys album that are hung up and stuck.  ??????????
    Additional update: Before posting this I deleted all 12 songs from my library and from iCloud, then Updated iTunes Match successfully (there were no changes) and then added the 12 songs back into my library.  When I Updated iTunes Match again it gets hung up on the 11 songs.  #3 was a success again.

  • HT4914 My Itunes match isn't playing a song

    On my Itunes match I have a song that was put in icloud and it lets me select to play it but when I play it I don't hear anything

    This is a known issue. Problems have been reported since March 13th. Keep in mind that resetting your modem or router is a "shotgun approach" to troubleshooting, since you're effectively changing many things at once (potentially getting a new dynamic IP, connecting to a different DNS server, flushing cached data in your router.) It may very well fail to work all-together.
    Problem:
    When attempting to add one or more individual tracks to iTunes match, the code "4010" (unknown error) is returned.
    Workaround:
    Perform a bulk update your entire library via Store > Update iTunes Match.
    Report it here:

    Currently, iTunes Match is still shown as online and healthy. Apple typically doesn't change that status unless there's a major incident impacting many users at once. This does not mean there isn't an issue, however.

  • ITunes Match won't play complete songs, why?

    I got itunes match when it first came out.
    I am running iTunes 10.5.2 for Windows (hopefully getting a Mac soon).
    I have a black iPhone 4S 32GB, and a black iPad 2 32GB, AT&T 3G.
    Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1.
    When I play songs from iTunes on my computer, everything is perfect.  All songs play all the way through.
    When I play songs from iPad or iPhone, many, many songs will NOT play all the way through.  Most of these songs stop playing about half-way or 3/4 of the way thru the song.  For the most part, THESE ARE SONGS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM ITUNES!! 
    The music timer will keep running, like the song is still playing, but it is just dead air.  Sometimes it jumps to the next track, and it will play the next track even though the music timer is still running and still showing the original song title, not the next track title.
    Some of the songs from my personal collection do the same thing, but so far it is mostly content I paid Apple for thru iTunes.
    Why won't it play the complete song?  I have had a ticket open for weeks on this issue.  I have spoken with Apple Tech Support no less than four times.  I have even spoken with Tech Support Supervisors, I even have Tech Support manager's phone numbers, but nobody knows anything. 
    I have turned off iTunes Match, turned it back on. Done a complete restore on iPad and iPhone.  Deleted specific songs, readded them.  I've re-downloaded the entire music library twice.  I am very close to giving up.  iTunes match could be so sweet, but for me it is terribly broken.
    I have searched these forums for ideas, but have come up empty.  Anybody having these issues?  Any ideas on how to resolve it?

    i am doing all of this at home, while connected to high-speed wifi.  when i say high speed wifi, i mean like over 40 Mbps downstream (say what you will about CableOne, but they have screaming data speeds).
    the problem files are "normal songs" approx 4 or 5 minutes or less. again, they were purchased from the itunes store. 
    for what it's worth, about two hours ago, i uninstalled itunes completely from my computer, restarted the machine, then redownloaded itunes from apple.com.  i also reset both devices (ipad and iphone) again. 
    i turned off itunes match on both devices, signed out of the store in both devices (settings/store/apple id) then set everything back up from scratch.  after all this, the same exact thing is happening with the same exact songs.
    funny thing is this:  it always happens to the very same songs, and the music cuts off at exactly the same time, down to the exact second.  the source file shouldn't be corrupted because the file is from itunes, and because if i play it directly on my computer on itunes, it plays perfectly. 
    VERY MYSTERIOUS.

  • ITunes Match on my iPhone shows songs that are not in iTunes on my Mac and PC.

    Yes, I know that deleting songs from iTunes does not necessarily mean they are deleted from iTunes Match, too. Not checking the box when deleting songs is definitely not why this is occurring, so hear me out. My Mac hosts my main iTunes library. What I do there, is synched with iTunes Match. In iTunes in Boot Camp, I have no local files, so all that iTunes on Windows shows me, are the songs that are matched with and uploaded to iTunes Match. As far as I can tell, it's exactly the same as my main library on my Mac.
    It's a different story on my iPhone, though. There are songs that show up on my iPhone that I have deleted on my Mac. Some several times, even. A little while ago, I ripped one of my CDs and had it matched with iTunes Match. I made some changes to the metadeta afterwards, though, so I deleted the songs and added and matched them again. And again, that same day. I did the same things with a single song.
    And now I'm stuck with three copies of the album and of the song in iTunes Match. But the weird thing is, that only one of each shows up in iTunes on Windows. That library, again, does not have any local music; it only shows what's in iTunes Match. I have tried disabling iTunes Match on my iPhone, I have deleted all local content on my iPhone, I have deleted the album and the song – the files that are showing up multiple times on my iPhone – from my Mac, updated iTunes Match, re-added the files and updated Match again. Unfortunately, none of this helped.
    After deleting the files and updating Match, I saw only two instances of the album and the song in question, instead of three. After re-adding them and updating Match again, there were three of each again. That means that there are two instances of the album and of the song 'stuck' in iTunes Match. And yet they don't show up in iTunes on either OS X or in Windows.
    Why is this happening? And, more importantly, how can I fix it? In the grand scheme of things, this is obviously a minor problem, but it's annoying me a lot nonetheless.

    Is there really nobody else with this problem? Really?
