ITunes Match downloaded all but one playlist???

I just subscribed to iTunes Match. I have iphone 4 and ipod touch, 3rd generation (5.1.1). Anyway, iTunes Match downloaded all my songs and playlists except for ONE playlist. My iTunes Match is turned on in iTunes and I updated iTunes match 2 times today. All playlists are there except one. The songs area all in iTunes match as well, just not the playlist. I cannot figure out why all my playlists are accessible on my iphone and ipod except for one. This playist is still on my MacBrook Pro (new 2012) , and plays just fine on my laptop - can someone assist as to how to get iTunes match to accept this other playlist? (Of course, its the one I use the most.)
Thanks

Thanks - tired that, as well.
I finally called Apple Support after much frustration.
Evidently, iTunes Match is quite particular about what it can upload. Since one of my most recently purchased albums from iTunes included a digital booklet, it was also included as part of the album when I made the playlist. iTunes Match will only match items in basic format, no videos, etc. After I removed the Digital booklet (like an extra on a cd album), the playlist then downloaded no problem....sneaky.
Thanks, anyway - perhaps this post will help someone solve the same (yet simple) mystery.

Will iTunes Match download ALL of my songs onto a new Mac once I sign in with my Apple ID?

Hi. Just wondering if iTunes Match is a viable back-up if my Mac is somehow destroyed or stolen. Thanks for you time if anyone has an answer. I live in Canada - not sure if the laws are differrent here. Cheers.

Actually, that statement is only true of iPhones, iPods and iPads. On Apple TV's it only streams (although the songs are probably held memory until the space is required, and on a computer via iTunes streaming is the default if you play a song. You have to specifically ask it to download to a computer.
To answer the original poster, yes you could feasibly use the cloud for a backup, but I would add a couple of factors to consider:
It could take some time to redownload, depending on your connection speed, if you lose your entire library.
Some of your library may not be eligible for some reason, so that wouldn't be backed up.
Match is not 100% accurate, so there is the risk of finding that there is the wrong version of some songs on your matched library. That may or may not be an issue for you.
As match is a service that tries to keep your library in sync, there is always the possibility that a problem could effect both your local library and match. Say for example, you deleted an album by accident and the "also delete from the cloud" box was ticked, then you may struggle to recover the tracks.
Personally, I wouldn't consider not having a local backup of my library, but at least iMatch would be a backup of sorts.

Using iTunes Match, Show All Music not working for one playlist

I am using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2. I just recently subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music has been matched/uploaded.
When I turn on iTunes Match and Show All Music on my iPhone, all of my playlists show up but one of them is incomplete, and doesn't have an option to download the missing songs from the cloud.
So, for example, I have a playlist that on my Mac has 696 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, and they all appear as either already on my phone or downloadable. Most of the other playlists are the same: working as expected. But I also have a playlist that on my Mac has 58 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, but only nine of them appear on my phone (they were already there), and none of the remaining 49 are showing as available to download from the cloud.
Is it possible to fix this? I've had bad luck in the past deleting playlists on the phone with the goal of having them refresh during the next sync. (The bad luck involved my playlists being deleted in iTunes on my Mac after the sync.)

Hi Michael,
thanks for this, this helped me out as I just had the same issue but on my iPad lol.
Forgot about that setting even though I knew about it, just goes to show, out of sight, out of mind.

Steve

I have read several posts, but many have problems with old purchases and new computers. This is a purchase I made today. I have tried deleting the SC file, and made all changes suggested by iTunes web site and other suggestions. Anybody have any suggestions I may have missed?

HT4914 I turned on iTunes Match, and subscribed; but it did not load all of my library. How can this be corrected so that I can recover all of my library?

iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
After looking through the above link, and still doesn't help then try this below:
> iTunes Content: Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> Non-iTunes Content: Transfer them from a different iDevice or from USB flash drive and/or external hard drive.
I don't use iTunes Match so I don't really know.

HT1391 I had all of my music on an external hard drive that failed. I have iTunes Match so all of my music was synced with the "cloud". How do I now download and save all of my music back down on a new external hard drive?

Hey Rbe58!
I believe this question can be answered by the information in the following article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12492
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

ITunes Match is on but I5 cannot access any songs. All my music in the cloud and I have no issues with my IPad playing music

ITunes Match is on but IPhone 5 cannot access any songs stored in the iCloud. I have no issues with my IPad playing music stored in the cloud. All settings appear correct. ITunes Match is turned on on my PC. No matter what I do I cannot get get any music even when I try to sync tunes purchased from the IStore.

I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question! I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season. But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop. How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?

You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.

Why does iTunes Match download songs that I skip?

I haven't seen this question posted yet, but feel free to direct me to any pertinent posts.
I've been using iTunes Match for the last couple days, and all in all I really enjoy the service. There is one issue that I've yet to see addressed on these boards yet though; why is iTunes Match downloading songs that I skip? I listen to all my music in random, so occasionally there will be a song I just don't want to hear at the moment. I assumed that if I don't listen to a song completely that it would not be downloaded to my device. Not true apparently. I was able to use about half a gig of data in a few hours just by skipping songs. Every song that was skipped, even if I didn't hear a single second of it, was downloaded (at an average size of 5-8 MB). I sincerely hope this is just a bug and not a 'feature'.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.

I have noticed this too. I filled up my phone VERY fast yesterday.
and deleting is not easy, lots of left swipe DELETE action, took a while.

ITunes Match downloads very slow over LTE

Hi, I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. When downloading iTunes Match songs to my phone it is very slow over LTE taking roughly 1 minute per megabyte. Over wifi it is a lot faster taking perhaps less than 20 seconds per track on average. All other data based activity is fast over LTE so the issue does seem to be limited to iTunes Match downloads and is the same whether my music was matched or uploaded to to icloud.
Any fixes/suggestions much appreciated. I have a brand new handset and restored my phone yesterday. I'm on the EE network in London.
Thank you

Purchased album but all but one track will play!

Hi,
I purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store. However, when I went to play it, all but one track would play.
I "checked for purchased music" but it said everything had been downloaded - what is wrong that it won't play this track?!
TIA!

I got this from Dan F in another thread:
Delete the song from iTunes library and choose move to trash.
Take it out of the trash and put it on the desktop.
Click on it, and it opens iTunes and plays.
If that doesn't help, best thing you can do is email the iTunes team:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download/
They should be able to let you re-download it. Good luck.

Itunes match downloading old artwork

why does itunes match download old artwork even when its been updated in itunes. has anyone got any solutions?

After much searching have found the answers buried in another forum (http://cybernetnews.com/cybernotes-add-album-art-in-itunes/).
iTunes Match does not presently reliably replicate Album Artwork across libraries - it does however make impressive if partial progress hence still worthwhile.
Method outlined is correct - it is best to use the Library All Songs Diplayed by Album Grid format - Get Info here presents a single Artwork location for all associated tracks.
Using a Smart List on each library to track apparently missing Artwork works well.
Saving the Artwork retrieved from Google at 300 by 300 72dpi to a shared folder works well.
Having completed an initial library - worth Get Album Artwork request, ahead of Update iTunes Match request.
In each target library repeat the Get Album Artwork and Update iTunes Match request.
Working from the Smart List for No Artwork, sort by Album, use shift-click to select all tracks for each Album, Get Info, paste in Album Artwork from shared folder.
Once complete - for each subsequent library complete a Get Album Artwork and iTunes Match request.
Confirm that both all entries in Library All Songs Grid View are complete and that the Smart List for No Artwork is empty.
Repeat for each library in question - it really is very fast.
Whilst it is frustrating the iTunes Match does not manage this automatically, once complete each Library is a pleasure to use allowing all Songs to be navigated via Album Artwork.
Good luck - the finished result really is worth the small amount of effort involved!

Cancel iTunes Match downloads

I upgraded to iOS 6.0 and inadvertently hit the download cloud button for an artist (to download all albums/tracks from that artist). I have over 950 songs in the queue and I have tried everything. To stop them from downloading. I've turned iTunes Match off, I've deleted the artist, nothing works. I hate this new iTunes Match.

Downloads are handled by the iTunes app, not the Music app. To stop them and clear the queue open the iTunes app and tap More > Downloads. There you'll be able to stop and delete the tracks.
