ITunes Match completely freezes iTunes at opening

So, I just upgraded to iTunes Match last night, and then iTunes got stuck at step one for over 5 hours, and I had to reset my computer for another program, so I did so. Now, my iTunes automatically connects to the iTunes store to do the whole iTunes Match stuff and freezes within two seconds of the program being open, and that is not an exaggeration.
I have no idea what to do. I have no way of accessing ANY of my music now, and I spent $25 on a program that freezes the entire application. I am so frustrated and I have absolutely no idea what to do.
All help is appreciated.

UPDATE: I've managed to get the 13" MBP working by removing my iTunes folder completely and letting iTunes sync from scratch. Bizarrely though, all the songs from iTunes Match are showing up, even though according to the menu iTunes match is still off! I don't know what they have done in iTunes 11, but it is a mess. But at least I can access all my songs. Unfortunately, I can't do the same on the other two machines because they contain songs that aren't matched.
They are also still running iTunes 10.7. I downgraded my rMBP because it screwed up Podcasts and importing files from CD.

    Hi Epski
    Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
    When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do?  Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

  • I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads.  Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads.  Whaddup?

    I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads.  Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads.  Whaddup?

    Requiring Match to be switched on, even though we have paid, to get ad free Radio can be costly.  Why?
    Because if you want to listen to Radio with cellular data (not much data required) you are also agreeing to Match over cellular which can suck data like you won't believe.

  • What is An unknown error occurred (11556) ? i Can't connect iTunes Match on my iTunes.

    What is An unknown error occurred (11556) ? Why i Can't connect iTunes Match on my iTunes ?
    file://localhost/Users/kandi/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202012-07-13%20at%202.37.57%2 0AM.png

    I get this error also. It is getting quite annoying. I tried contacting support and this is what they sent me:
    "First, make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the iTunes website:
    http://www.itunes.com/download
    Certain types of software can cause conflicts and prevent iTunes from connecting to the iTunes Store properly, even if the software appears to be configured to allow iTunes access. This can include firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software.
    If the error message persists after you upgrade iTunes, you can pinpoint which software program is the source of the block in the connection by using the MSCONFIG utility on your computer. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n305415
    In addition, if you are connecting to the Internet via a local area network (LAN), your router might have firewall settings that may interfere with your downloads and produce this error message. I suggest removing the router from your computer's connection and then connecting your computer directly to your modem. For assistance with settings for your router or modem, you may need to contact the manufacturer.
    When configuring the software on your computer to give iTunes access to the Internet, you'll need to allow the following domains :
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    If you require more in-depth assistance, you may wish to consider calling Apple technical support. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support options and can help you determine which option might be most helpful in this case. You can reach AppleCare technical support at 800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273). Help is available seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. central time. "
    Didn't help me... maybe it will work for someone else.

  • HT204406 How can I subscribe to Itunes Match redeeming from itunes card instead of using credit card?

    How can I subscribe to itunes Match redeeming from itunes card instead of using credit card?

    Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

    i have subscribed to itunes match on the itunes on my pc. But my iPhone says i need to subscribe still even if i am already subscriben myu
    it already marked on my credit card. when i log in my itunes on pc, it is already subscribed but when i turn on the itunes match on my iphone 4s and 5, it says that i need to subscribe itunes match via itunes on my pc. which i already did

    You need to be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase iTunes Match. On the iPad go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Tap sign out. Then sign in with the correct Apple ID and you should be able to enable iTM on the iPad.

  • Is it possible to by iTunes Match with my iTunes account witch doesn't contains credit card informations?

    Is it possible to by iTunes Match with my iTunes account witch doesn't contains credit card informations?

    No. Since iTunes Match is a subscription service your account must contain a permanent form of payment to subscribe.

  • How do i cancel my iTunes Match subscription when iTunes will not open on my computer anymore?

    I recently deleted some programs on my computer, several of which I probably shoudn't have, and no iTunes will not open or function at all on my computer. I do not wish to continue using iTunes as I have switched phones, therefore I do not want to be automatically resubscribed to iTunes Match when this subscription ends. The only way I see iTunes working again on my computer requires several hours of searching through .dll files, and a complete system restore as a last resort, but I really dont want to do that just to install a program I dont want to cancel a service I no longer need, then uninstall that program. Is there any way to do this through apple support, online, etc...? It seems so easy to do, I just dont see any options anywhere.
    Thanks

    Hello ktkayaker
    In order to cancel iTunes Match, you would need to do within iTunes. Try just creating a new user and then see if iTunes opens up so you can cancel it. I have provided other article that will give some troubleshooting steps to resolve your issues.

  • ITunes match completed on computer but wont work on iPhone...Please help!

    I have an interesting situation. I have a developers license (if only to get iOS for my iPhone before anyone else does.... lol). Before the public launch of the iOS 5 and iTunes Match and iCloud, I set up a "Developer ID". Match worked beautifuly for me then, as well as iCloud etc... Now that the public release is out, I have migrated my old me.com (my main account) account over to a new 'iCloud' account. I paid my $24.95 or whatever for iTunes Match.... AGAIN.... And set forth 'matching' my music with iTunes. It completed on my computer, however now my iPhone will not see the music in the cloud. I have not yet tried this on any of my other Apple devices, as I assume the same thing will happen on all of them.
    Things I have tried:
    Turning everything on and off (several times)
    Turning icloud on and off on my phone (several times)
    Signing in using my developer ID... Then signing in using my main login.
    I have put my main ID in every spot I can think of on my phone... email/iCloud/App Store/Home sharing/iTunes store
    I have downloaded previous purchases using the iTunes store to try and "Jar" it and make it see the rest of my music.
    I am at a loss and would love to know if anyone else has had this issue and how they fixed it.
    Christian
    Thank you so much for your help ahead of time!

    Please help.... No Ideas?!?!?!

  • Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

    I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!
