Itunes match  how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

In ITunes match  how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1.  I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match.  After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

  • I have iTunes Match: how do I download all my songs

    I have iTunes Match.
    I have jut bought a new iPad and want to download all my existing albums. I don't always have Internet access or access to iCloud or iTunes on my MBP, and am happy with duplicating my music on/to all my Apple devices.  I can't find out how to download all my albums/songs in one go rather than one album at a time?  Can anyone help me please.

    Hello ski bum,
    Currently you would need to go to each album and download them to get the songs. You do have the option to go to the iTunes Store app and go to More > Purchased > Music > All Songs, there is a Download All button in the upper right hand corner and that will only work for purchased content from the iTunes Store. 
    Download past purchases

  • How do I select multiple songs and uncheck them from compilations (itunes 10.5.2)

    So I found to my annoinance that itunes has recently moved much of my music to compilations that shouldn't be there. I tried searching online for how to turn compilations off or select multiple songs and uncheck them from compilations all at once and although I found both answers, they must have only worked for older versions of itunes. I no longer can find the option to turn off compilations under preferences and when I try to select multiple songs at a time then press "Get Info" the "part of a compilation" checkmark is not there. It is only there when one song is highlighted. This is very frustrated. In fact I would venture to say I've never been so angry with Apple. There are 609 songs "stuck" in my freaking compilations! I don't have time nor should I have to take the time to go through every single song right clicking it, pressing "Get info", unchecking "part of compilation" then clicking ok. WAY TOO MUCH TIME! If anyone has any good news on a faster way to do this I'd be VERY THANKFUL!

    This was a life saver! I even started to manually tick the box as well!

    how to i use iTunes match, how to i use iTunes match

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Open iTunes.
    Select Store.
    Click on iTunes Match to turn it off. (Mine is shown already off.)
    Click on Turn On Genius to turn it on.
    Quit iTunes.
    When you re-open it, iTunes Match should be turned off, and iTunes Genius should be turned on.
    (You can return to the iTunes Store setting and check it.)
    And as a bit of Apple Support Communities courtesy, when you type your question IN ALL CAPS, it seems like you are yelling.

  • How Do I select Multiple songs to Use with Slideshow?

    I am running Lightroom 4 on an iMac with OS - Lion. Love it!
    I am trying to create a slideshow with music in the background but I cannot seem to select more than 1 song. How can I select multiple songs?
    Thanks
    Adrian

    The slide show feature in Lightroom isn't really very flexible or feature packed.  I suspect the design was to provide professional photographers a quick way to show proofs to clients.  You will have to use other software for what you intend to accomplish.  I'm going to be creating a slide show with about 500 images soon.  My intention is to create the slide show with Lightroom and export as video.  Then I will use Premiere Elements and import the video and lay down the music track.  There are easier ways to do it, I know.  But I don't do this kind of thing very often and don't plan to purchase more software that would make it easier.

  • For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

    For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

    Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
    You aren't comparing like with like.
    The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
    With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
    In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
    I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
    The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • Selecting Multiple songs (Itunes 10.6 for windows)

    Hi there,
    I just recently updated to Itunes 10.6.3.25 and I just started having problem selecting multiple songs in my iTunes library.
    Basically, when I try to ctrl+click any song, the song info pops up, instead of selecting the song. Shift+click still works for me, but when I am making playlists, I need to ctrl+click to choose and pick songs. Has anybody ever had the same problem, or know how to fix this?? Thanks!

    Just a thought. I sometimes get random results from my wireless keyboard when it is either running low on batteries or my iPhone is too close to it.

  • ITunes Match: How can I tell if a matched song is from the correct album?

    Since iTunes Match uses my album art and metadata, is there a way to see the album art of the matched item from iTunes?
    I have ripped hundreds of classical music CDs through the years into iTunes, and they all have album art (not from iTunes Match).   Now that I have signed up for iTunes Match, how can I confirm that a matched item from iTunes is from the correct album? 
    I have read that the matching algorithm isn't perfect and can match to the wrong item.   I have recently upgraded the quality of all my ripped music by downloading all the matches from iTunes Match, and replacing my local CD rips (I have backups).
    So, if I ripped Beethoven's 9th by Herbert Von Karajan, is there a way to see the album art of the matched music from iTunes, so that I can confirm it didn't match the item to Beethoven's 9th by Bruno Walter?
    Does the matching algorithm use song length/duration, or is it only using wave form sampling?
    Thanks!
    Paul

    Thanks for the help Jim.
    I'm not having any troubles with artwork changing, but I wish I were, because if the artwork changed then that would allow me to detect if the correct tracks are being matched.  
    I'm worried about waveform matching with classical music because I can have 2 pianists or 2 orchestras that play the same piece so it seems that the waveforms would be very similiar.   I have many CDs of the same pieces of music but by different performers.  For example, both performers play on a piano and both play the same piece of music.  Wouldn't the waveforms be very similar?
    So that's why I'm wondering if there is some way to get the artwork of the piece being matched, so that I can see what album it is coming from.
    Do you think if I deleted my artwork and then matched, that I'd get the artwork injected into my matched music?
    Thanks again for entertaining all my questions.  Really appreciate it.
    Paul

    You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription, however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

  • After I download a 256 kbps song using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer at the higher bit rate once I turn ITunes Match off again?

    After I download a 256 kbps song from the cloud using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer once I turn ITunes Match off again? I have been using ITunes Match for awhile now to increase the bit rate on songs to 256 kbps.  Once I download the songs at the new bit rate, I turn off Match because I want to eliminate duplicates. Usually there is no problem. This time, however, 278 of my songs lost their file association and were unplayable unless I locate the song files within my computer.  These are songs purchased from Amazon.  In order to play them again in ITunes (Match is now off), I must locate each song file individually (I've tried to do it in bulk but have not succeeded) but now the bit rate has returned to the lower number BEFORE I matched the song.  I should have never used Match in the first place. Any ideas, anyone?

    I discovered that the NEW 256 bit file does reside on my computer, in the ITunes files (My Music/ITunes/ITunes Media/Music.  So I can bring the songs back as 256 kbps, and I have been successful now at locating more than one file at a time, by clicking on the "find other missing files" tab in the popup window.  Previously, I'd been going back to my Amazon files, and not only was I unable to bring back a 256 version, but the popup window would not locate similar files.  So while I wish ITunes Match would automatically associate the ITunes Match file, at least I can retrive the file association without hours and hours of work.

    How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    Hello Sara,
    Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
