ITunes Match cut off songs & not syncing!!!

Hello all.
I recently purchased iTunes Match for the very first time back in February around the 19th of 2014.
Initially, all of the songs in my library seemed to have synced in the cloud and everything was working great; until I tried playing my music.
The song I had chosen, played roughly in length for 30-40 seconds and then audio output completely ceased; all while the music progress bar and seconds continued to run. I thought maybe it was an issue with my wifi as my internet at home is not the best, at which point I decided to try my carrier's LTE network connection-the problem still occurred.
So I took the forums and upon doing so, noticed I wasn't the only one experiencing this problem. I have read most if not all of the suggestions offered and the problem still persists.
Yes, I have and have had the latest version of iTunes prior to purchasing iTunes Match.
Yes, my phones firmware is up to date as well.
Yes, I did a complete factory reset and setup(as new) on my iPhone 5.
Yes, I turned on and off iTunes Match within the iTunes Store.
Yes, I selected update iTunes Match.
And even after all of that, my songs will not even show up within my music library on my iPhone now; unless im on wifi....?! lol smh!
At this point im assuming the problem is due to Apple's negligence and complete and utter lack of care for the service it offers to its customers.
As with all Apple products and services, the intention behind its use, is simply the ease and almost seamless integration of user experience and technology; but quite frankly it LACKS just that!!!
This has been the most annoying issue to deal with so far as an Apple customer, as really I love my music and would like to access it at any point at the "touch of button."
If this issue isn't resolved SOON-Apple, consider this guy opting out of the service and quite possibly losing me as a customer all together....smdh!
Does anyone have any other suggestions for these problems or know of any new developments in the resolution of these issues?
Thanks in advance! :-)

"At this point im assuming the problem is due to Apple's negligence and complete and utter lack of care for the service it offers to its customers"
I feel the same way. How many billions in profit did they make again? Once you hit that bracket I suppose customer satisfaction doesn't matter, only numbers. Good on you Apple.

HT204406 Problem with iTunes match cutting off a song on my iPhone, not Mac or PC

I have purchased the Katy Perry album "Prism" outside of iTunes and matched it with iTunes match. When I try to play the first song "Roar" on my iPhone, it plays only part of it and then cuts off and plays the second song. This only happens on my iPhone, when I use iTunes match to play the song on either my mac or PC using iTunes, the song plays fine without any issues.
I've tried turning off iTunes match, and then starting it again, no luck. I powered off, then on my iPhone, no luck. I've downloaded the song out of the cloud and still has the same problem... anybody have this problem too or can help?

Some additional observations:
When I look at the album, the song "Roar" has a length of "2:05", but once I play the song by pressing it, the song begins playing and the slider shows a length of 3:39 (close to the correct length). However, once it hits 2:03, it stops and starts playing the next song.
Interestingly, using iTunes on my mac, the song in the album view shows "2:04" but once I double-click the song, the length changes to "3:43", but plays the complete song without any problems.

My iTunes randomly cuts off songs at the end. I've tried to create a new library and reimport my old library, but to no avail. Can anyone help? :)?

Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro, and downloaded the new iTunes update. I have OS X Lion 10.7.4. It all of sudden is randomly cutting off some songs before the very end of the song. I've tried to read past posts and create new libraries and re-import the old one, but it doesn't seem to help. It is not all of my purchased songs, nor is it all of my downloaded from CD songs, it's just a particularly random set of songs (I haven't checked them all, but it happens every 5 songs or so when I play the whole library on shuffle). This never happened to me before with other versions of iTunes, and when I called the support line the guy says he has never heard of this problem before... !
I have 3000 songs, so I don't want to manually bring each one in again. I am also not super technologically brilliant, so if you have had this problem too and have a simple answer, please help !!!

I have a similar problem with Itunes - the funny thing is it only does it on my Mac and not my PC running Windows 7 - seems strange the Apple software runs better on a Windows computer. There are other posts about this here on the forums that have been running for two years with no solution - and I was just about to buy a new Ipod - oh well.

ITunes Library cutting off songs

I posted this in another topic, but I'm not sure if it belongs here or there...
All of a sudden, my itunes library is blending songs when I play them in order. When each song has 4 seconds left, the next song on the list starts playing, as if a DJ's mixing them. It's annoying, because it cuts off the end of songs, and I don't know how it will affect the burning of CDs.
Anyone know why it's suddenly doing this, and how I can make it stop?

It looks as if you have Crossfade playback: switched on.
You can find this setting in Preferences>Playback.
hope this helps.

ITunes 7 Cutting Off Songs

I'm sorry if there is a similar topic already existing, but it seems that all of the songs in my library (at least the ones that I've tested) are being cut off well before they are finished since I installed the new iTunes 7 (and the new Quicktime). Most songs seem to cut out at the 4 minute mark, a major problem with my songs that are 10 minutes or more. Even songs that are around 4 minutes cut off early; "Billie Jean" cut out at 3:10 even though the song is supposed to go 4:54.
Some of the other threads have suggested recoding the songs, but when I attempt to do that, it only codes the shortened version. So, when I try to convert my 25 minute song, the converted version only includes that 4 minute segment.
Has anyone had similar problems and been able to come up with solutions?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

None of those settings have been changed. The crossfade is not checked. Moreover, the amount cut off on different songs varies (whereas I understand that crossfade would affect all song in the same way).
I am not sure what you mean by song - options. I did not change anything.

Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
help!

I have also had the same problem...
The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

Itunes 10.6.3 cuts off songs

I re-installed my Music according to Apple's instructions, but that didn't resolve the problem. Some songs are getting cut off at around the 3:00 mark, and when they do, iTunes doesn't proceed to the next song. I'm operating Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 on a brand new iMac and have never had this problem before. Has Apple fixed this, and if not, what is the fix?

Not sure if this is what you did or not but it worked for me. I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25. I deleted the cut off songs from both my ipod and iTunes on my computer (choosing to move them to the trash bin and eliminate completely). Afterwards, I re-downloaded them from the cloud by accessing my previously purchased items in the iTunes store. For what it's worth, I had to go through this process twice before it actually worked.

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. iTunes is trying to match and upload songs not purchased from the iTunes store; however, it keeps shutting down before it finishes. Has this happened to anyone else?

Turn off iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows) then quit iTunes. Open it after a few seconds, and turn iTM back on.

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

TS1424 2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do

2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

Try reinstalling the AMDS > iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X

For sound issues check System Preferences > Sound
Make sure the Mute button is not selected.

HT4914 Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

I had a hard drive blow out and lost my itunes library. Now when I connect my ipod itunes tells me it is not sync'd. I am not permited to delete or add any songs. I do not want to loose my ipod songs if I reset. Any ideas? Thanks.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

HT4914 If I do not resubscribe after the first year with itunes match will any songs that have been upgraded in quality lose this upgrade or will it remain?

Dottie,
If you want to upgrade the quality of a song in your library, you have to delete the library copy and download the matched copy.
Once it is downloaded, it will stay in your library even you don't renew Match.
