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

ITunes Match upload very slow only 64kb/s ?

hello. why uploading music in iTunes match is so slow.

In general network use the speed of a connection is only as fast as the many links between your hard drive and the hard drive on the server. Try using a speed test utility (many web sites offer one) and see if it's something local to you, or if it is more remote.
What kind of network connection do you have? What speed? I have a 136k connection so 64k for me isn't too bad, especially when my neighbors are all streaming wireless at night and interferring with my signal (I have wireless to my Internet service provider).

ITunes Store downloads very slow -- are there any hints to resolve this?

nt
MacBook 2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

it is indeed puzzling. I have had the same problems. I sincerely hope Apple gets on this problem. I have Time Warner cable and they have been about as helpful as... well, not so helpful. They have proved to me that the internet connection is fine, but just the avenue to the store has problems. Some have said it is the 3rd party company called Level3 that is where the connection slows. This has been for the last week. Do a traceroute or ping the apple store and see if your connection troubles begin at Level3. I can't quite recall what the apple store address is, but I believe it is written in the thread which mentions TIme Warner in its heading.
Oh, by the way, a file that was taking 3 hours to download around 11 pm last night is now only taking 10 minutes. Try to do your downloading during periods of low internet traffic.
Good luck!

Itunes 10.4 very slow downloads

I am running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4 .
My problem is that iTunes is downloading very slowly at around 200 kb. I have tested my download speed and it has came to 11mb download speed, all my other programs are working well apart from iTunes. Can someone help?

OK I need someone to help me understand this. If I connect to my home network, iTunes will launch normally!!!
I am not connected to home sharing - i don't have any song on my server at home, etc., etc., - however if I connect to my SL server at home over VPN, my iTunes acts normal. Does anybody have a suggestion at what may be going on???? I noticed last night at home that iTunes was speedy but didn't think it had anything to do with being on my own network.

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.

Lumia 920 Facebook connection very slow over WiFi ...

Since the Portico update the connection to Facebook both in the People and Me hub as well as in the Facebook app is very slow over WiFi, whilst still good over 4G/LTE (with WiFi off). The connection to the Nokia account also appears to have a similar problem. All other accounts and apps have good speed over both cellular and WiFi connections.
Any ideas anybody?
PS: FYI, a bit more info about the history and context: When I noticed the problem the first time after the update, I tried to solve it by deleting and re-adding my Facebook account on the phone. Unfortunately, that made me lose my Me hub tile, so I decided to do a full reset. That again unfortunately got stuck on the togg wheels, so I restored the phone using Nokia Care Suite with the latest firmware, and restored my accounts, apps and settings from scratch. Everythings seems to work fine now, except the above mentioned Facebook and Nokia account connectivity problem.

Did you somehow solve this problem?
I have the same issue here with my Lumia 920.
However I have already found out that it only applies to my home Wifi. All other Wifi networks i was connecting to did work flawlesly.
I need to note that all other devices on my home network are using facebook without a glitch. Only Lumia has some problems with it.

HT4914 My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
Quitting iTunes.
Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

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.

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.

Color pattern matching is very slow

Hi
I tried this code creating one vi application.
After the testing with USB webcam I have realized that the color pattern matching is very slow. How to increase the speed and to work smoothly in real time.
Thank you

Hello tiho,
the color pattern matching is not as fast as 8-bit matching, but should still be fast.
For example, I am attaching a VI for color pattern matching where you load the image, create the template and search do the matching.
In my example I tried color pattern matching on color image of size 4288x2848 pixels and the matching is performed in ~140 ms (~7Hz). So, for a smaller image, I think the real-time processing is quite achievable (I consider real-time 20 Hz or more). The only problem is the template learning, which in my case takes around 10 seconds. But you should learn the template only once in the initialization stage.
Best regards,
K

ITunes sync is very slow?

iTunes sync is very slow with several minutes of the spinning color dot. Usually happens during the last step (7) of the sync. I then discover that even though I marked to sync all photos from Aperture file, photos are not synced. iTunes seems to be getting more and more of a problem. Any thoughts?

It takes awhile. Also, your ISP connection is part of the equation.

I joined itunes match. I had over 1,000 songs. Now I have 298. Where did they go?

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases
