ITunes Match doesn't accept editing of matched music anymore

I am using iTunes Match since one month and everything worked quite well so far.
However, since yesterday I am unable to edit or delete music or playlists that have been matched or uploaded to the cloud by iTunes Match. Every time I try to make changes, they are undone after iTunes Match has been updated the next time. Playlists and music just reappears in the cloud.
In contrast, I am still able to scan newly added music from my library and add them to the cloud or let them get matched by iTunes Match. In conclusion, my influence on my music is reduced to my local data. That seriously has ****** up my library.
Due to the fact that no possible solution i could possibly think of (reinstalling iTunes, login/relog iTunes store/iTunes Match etc.) has worked so far. I contacted Apple's support which couldn't help me also. I talked to three different people for over three hours who also consulted their respective colleagues. No result. They had no clue. Still, they told me they would get advice from the server administrators in the US (I'm from Germany) and would contact me as soon as they had any kind of answer to my dilemma.
Last night I gave it another try and was indeed able to erase my whole online library (I want to start fresh after this disaster) and the changes didn't get erased by iTunes Match. **** Yes! I added an album,waited, updated iTunes Match, erased it afterwards, waited and hoped it would now work as well as it has in the weeks before. Well, that is of course not the case.
Now I have three albums matched. Neither can I erase them from the online library nor can I edit them in any way without iTunes Match replacing my changes afterwards. Adding songs, streaming and downloading music still works fine. I just want to create an well-ordered library for my iOS devices and my computers.
At the moment all devices except one computer (Win 7, newest iTunes) are disconnected from iTunes Match.
Is there someone who might have an idea of how to solve this issue? Thank you in anticipation!

Thank you for your reply, Jim.
In fact I already tried this and it didn't seem to work. For example, I tried to delete a song that had been uploaded to the cloud and waited for some minutes without doing anything. The song just kept staying in the cloud.
In another attempt I left iTunes as it was and did nothing for over an hour. Then I deleted the complete library, waited a few second and closed iTunes. After I reopened iTunes all songs were gone from iTunes Match.
Now I have added and edited some albums to the clean Cloud. The songs that I have edited before I matched them are all correct in the cloud. Unfortunately there are some exceptions. Sometimes iTunes Match automatically scans the library while I'm still editing songnames or albumnames. When I change the tags to the ones I want them to be afterwards everything seems to work but in the cloud the respective songs still have the same tags they had while they got matched. Changes made by me just won't get saved even when I wait for about half an hour before I close iTunes or update iTunes Match. This surely should be enough time for the process of sending and saving of those changes. Some days ago I could easily edit many albums in a row without such problems.

  • ITunes block my iPhone I can't buy music anymore

    iTunes block my iPhone I can't buy music anymore

    Hey, epoh, I haven't forgotten the long term solution for you, I just can't seem to find it in the user tips library. I know it was there, and I've asked some of the folks who have helped on this type of thing before to help me relocate it. Of course, they all decided they were "Irish" and (although it has nothing to do with being Irish) are still recovering from celebrations designed to make bartenders rich and breweries dry.
    Hopefully they will be back soon. In the mean time, Rod has suggested two things. One would be taking a look at your account page (click on your account name when in the iTunes Music Store) and seeing if there isn't a way to reset it in the purchase history screen. I don't see anything like that there, but then again, I don't have anything stuck in my cart either
    Give that a shot, then try deauthorizing your computer and reauthorizing it. I see where he is going with this one. It's quite possible that this action will get rid of anything that was hanging out under that particular account name.
    Give these both a shot, and see if it doesn't shake that album loose. If it doesn't, I'm sure someone has a link to the fix I'm thinking of.

  • Match doesn't accept chapterized m4a?

    I have been using JoinTogether to join separate movements of classical music into a single file with chapter markers.  The resulting file is identical to a regular file: it's an m4a audio file at an appropriate bit rate, not too large, etc.
    And yet iTunes Match won't upload them to the cloud.  I get the "!" cloud icon, which means "error" and that the file may be "corrupt".  Obviously not the case since it plays beautifully in iTunes.
    Does anyone have any experience with including chapterized m4a files in iTunes Match/iCloud?

    Join Together's chapterizing options is not supported in OS X 10.7 (Lion) and later.

  • When I plug in my iPhone 4S into my computer the iTunes program doesn't open.  Only the Music iTunes opens

    I have not synced my iPhone for some months.  When I plugged it into my computer the iTunes program does not launch.  There is an iTunes icon installed but this only opens as a Music/video program.  There is no side panel where I select my device, account, apps, etc.  I have tried re-installing iTunes but there is no difference.  AutoPlay opens when I plug in the iPhone offering file, picture etc sharing but nothing elso opens.

  • How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

    How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

    Hi,
    If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

  • 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.

  • Itunes match doesn't work with newest verstion of apple tv software

    Hi,
    I recently updated my software on my 3rd gen apple tv, and itunes match doesn't work anymore - I get the screen that it is retrieving information about my library and that it can take a few minutes.  Well, it after a few hours it still doesn't end retrieving.  This has been happening since I updated my software over 2 weeks ago.  Any solutions?  Thanks!

    Hi, I had the same problem. I changed countries on the Apple TV. This logged me out of my account. When I reverted back to my country and logged back in on the Apple TV, it worked (almost) without problem.

  • HT3702 iTunes doesn't accept my credit card

    iTunes doesn't accept my MC credit card from Puerto Rico, because the credit card number entered is not a valid number for this card.  But it is!  And the other excused is that the address doesn't match the bank one.  What can I do?

    The above reply is ridiculous. I have the same problem, and I see authorization after authorization from the iTunes store on my card. Yet, it refuses to update my card info saying that it is not a valid card for Japan. Seems similar to this issue: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CD0QFjAB&ur l=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscussions.apple.com%2Fthread%2F3783135%3Fstart%3D0%26tstart%3D 0&ei=oI3zT7X3HcTmmAWD8LGFBQ&usg=AFQjCNEINTpL-XhyCasZgT0ufSIGe8dBvA&sig2=T9DSGCng ZV_EPcGdyHZfwA

  • Downloading apps it asks for apple ID Pass then it says "verification required". Then says Security Code required. Doesn't accept code. itunes doesn't accept code from visa card either?Please Help

    Downloading apps it asks for apple ID Pass then it says "verification required". Then says Security Code required. Doesn't accept code. itunes doesn't accept code from visa card either?Please Help

    If it is trying to verify your payment info, I would be willing to guess that it is looking for the security code for your credit card. Did you credit card just get replaced lately or the expiration date change? When is the last time that you updated your payment information in iTunes?

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
    Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
    ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • HT3702 Hi there, can somebody help me in showing me how to reset my credit card information on iTunes Store as I have the credit card and it seems like the system doesn't accept my new card.

    Good day, can someone show how to update a new credit card on iTunes Store as I have changed my credit card. It seems like the system doesn't accept the new infos but when investigated with apple store staff members, they said I had a previous purchase to complete for the payment in order to update my new infos. Does Apple have authorization credit card form? So that I can authorize them to finalize the previous purchase payment with a new card.
