ITunes Match in Australia

HI
On my iPhone I noticed this morning that in Settings>Music iTunes Match was listed here.
Does this mean that I can now get iTunes Match in Australia?
If it does how do i get it?
U can't sign up on iOS and on iTunes 10.5.1 on my 21.5 iMac there is no iTunes Match listed.
Thanks

Unfortunately Australia does not yet have iTunes Match, it is only the US. You might have the iTunes Match option in your Settings if you have recently signed in to the iTunes Store with a US Apple ID. This can also have the same effect on Macs and PCs.
Also, there is currently no release date offered by Apple for iTunes Match in Australia.

Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia.

Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia. Can I start using itunes music match while I am travelling without the actual music files attached to my itunes?

In your situation I strongly recommend you read over that KB article. The international iTunes Stores are not cross-compatible.
My understanding of how it would work is that when activating iTunes Match on your US Store account, any songs you have in your iTunes Library that were purchased from the AUS Store account will NOT be matched. As I understand it, those files will be uploaded (which means you need the files on a local HDD). I also do not think it is possible to have iTunes Match active on more than one store ID on the same computer. But since iTunes Match is not available internationally yet, that point is moot for the moment.
To be honest you might want to wait until the service is available internationally so you can guage how will it will serve you.

Can't update iTunes Match after upgrading to 11.1.5

Hi,
Is anyone else (in Australia) having problems with iTunes Match after upgrading to iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac? I’ve found that whenever I play a track (i.e. update the play count), set a rating or edit a playlist, all my cloud songs become greyed out, the updates are not synced to the cloud (don’t appear on other devices), the iTunes Cloud music icon gets a lightning bolt through it (lost connect), and then my changes are lost. I can reconnect as many times as I like (by clicking on the cloud icon or restarting iTunes) and for a while everything ‘looks’ fine (can download and play songs) but actually nothing is saved to the cloud and the lightning bolt appears again when I make any of the above updates. I have another computer that still has 11.1.4 and iTunes Match is working fine on it.
James

Thanks Michael, I’d already tried both those (including applying the latest OS X security update and restarting). I kept trying to use iTunes Match every hour, and eventually it started working on my 11.1.5 computer and has staying working for the rest of the day. 11.1.4 was working the whole time.

Brian,
Again, not accurate. When Match is "turned off" all of the Matched song instances are still shown in the Ibrary and all devices still stream - so, if you have your songs also stored on your local drive (which I choose to as one does not always have access to WiFi and I use the local instances of the songs for some music production/DJing), iTunes shows each song twice. This is cumbersome if you simply want to play an album - you have to hear each song twice. There is no reason technologically they could not simply show the metadata for a song only once and simply hit the cloud object store when it it is not found as a local disk target. This would solve some of the issues and it is pretty much how any content delivery network (CDN) works - and this is how my local Genius Bar assured me it would work before I bought the service. I found they know little about Match.
Other issues: I believe the "exclusive" Cloud Playtlist logic still stands - iTunes protests if you add a non-Matched song to a Playlist (as it assumes you want all Playlists to be cloudy). Also, the APLCARE person and I could not figure out what "Removed" (under Cloud Status) means despite looking up several explanations on the Web. And, we found songs that were only in the cloud that should have also been on my local drive as I never deleted them. That said, it is also a pain to fully delete a song (local + the cloud). Plus, the logic in the Purchased section around what constitutes "Not On Computer" did not hold up. They have lots of logical challenges with thier workflow.
Regardingyour suggestion, there is no way to "not use" Match. Only when one is disconnected from the iTunes store does Match seem to go away completely.The only thing you can turn off is the song syncing/matching/uploading. This amounts only to turning off a sub-process not the service.
Match is likely fine for most who do not want to have any copy of the songs locally and are fine having access to their music only when connected via WiFi. I wanted more ubiquitous access to my collection from my iPad and my iPhone but needed to keep my songs local to my MBP too. This is not the proper use case as I have learned.
Of course I won't renew, but I should be able to cancel a service that I am dissatisfied with.

How can I turn OFF iTunes Match on ALL devices?

I am in Australia and just paid AUD34.99 last night to buy iTunes Match and have had so much trouble with it since I want to turn it OFF on all devices. Ideally I'd love a refund but understand that terms and conditions may limit this - though am really disappointed that it simply does not seem to work despite me following everything to set it up correctly.
In theory, it's a great service and I'm sure in the long run will be useful but for now until I could figure it out I wanted to just turn it OFF on both my iphone & Macbook pro - have done this in settings - music - turn off on iPhone...but still ON! Also on Macbook, have turned off in store - turn off - and it's disappeared off my store options - BUT IS STILL ON in Itunes!
It's not only the hours of my time and frustration at trying to do simple things, for example had some friends around today and trying to just play music on my mac, and it kept skipping all over the place (i.e. would not finish a track, go to the next one, then skip through several on shuffle meaning a long gap between songs). It also does not find a lot of music in my library that is definitely already in iTunes store, meaning that it is using my valuable upload limit for a lot of songs.
Overall, what the app promises and what it actually delivers in practice is very disappointing and frustrating. I realise it's just recently launched so may still have some issues, but I don't want to pay for a service that doesn't work properly for me - and then not even be able to turn it off? Can anyone help or have had similar experiences? I've emailed Apple customer support but meanwhile wanted to try and get this sorted asap.

ok after another hour of playing around i might have half solved this...I turned match off via my account within the store which didn't seem to work properly, but then found another option to "turn off" via the store dropdown in the menu bar which does seem to have worked on my mac (but not yet on my iphone so still need to figure this out). Now I have turned it off on my mac it seems to offer me the option to buy it again - but as i've already paid for the year I don't know if there is the option to turn on again if I choose to later?

I have moved from Aus to UK how do I change all my iTunes details WITHOUT losing everything I have purchased on my Aus account $4,000 worth....... and without losing iTunes match

Hi,
I have moved from Australia to UK and I would like to swap my details to the UK, country of residence, billing address etc. I have spent over $4,000 on iTunes including extra iCloud storage and iTunes match. I want to be able to keep app's, music, movies and my Cloud/Match exactly the same. How do I do this?
Everytime I go to do it a message says that all of my purchases will be lost?
I need help but in real somple step by step easy as I am not hugely PC literate and still working out the whole Apple iTunes product behind the scenes so please help me in the simplistic way possible.
Thanks you in advance
Jo

Because of different local copyright laws and licensing you cannot keep everything exactly the same except for iCloud, which is not affected. You will have to create a new Apple ID for use on the UK iTunes Store with a form of payment drawn on a local bank and an address in the UK. As long as you have downloaded all your purchases and the computer is still authorized to play all protected video content that won't change, however Apps may give you trouble when updating because once associated with an Apple ID you can only switch between stores every 90 days.
As for iTunes Match you must contact Australian iTunes Store support to cancel the subscription and you will have to resubscribe on the UK store.

How do I move my iTunes Match subscription to another country

I subscribed to iTunes Match 2 years ago, when I lived in Australia, and have renewed it again recently. Part of this process was to match 25,000 music tracks which took weeks to complete. It also chewed through a huge amount of bandwidth.
I have now moved across the Tasman to New Zealand and have a new username and password for the NZ store. However, my iTunes Match tracks are only available under my old Australian iTunes account.
How can I move my iTunes Match subscription from Australia to New Zealand without having to upload/match all of my library again? Or have to pay another annual subscription?
Hoping someone can help me!

How to Change Country with iTunes Match

Changing country errors due to itunes match subscription

Hi guys,
Recently moved from Australia to Singapore, tried to change my iTunes Store countries to download local Apps but keep getting an iTunes Match subscription error.
Already turned off auto-renew and removed all devices for Match.
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks,
Phil

You'll need to contact iTunes Store support directly to actually cancel the iTM subscription. Be sure and ask them about any terms and conditions that might apply.

Change country of registration without losing iTunes Match

Hi,
I have recently moved from the UK to Australia for 6 months, and just before I left I took out a subscription to iTunes Match thinking that would be a good way of not losing my 19000 song collection (through luggage losses, or electromagnetic radiation to hard drives, or whatever). Now that I'm here I want to change my country of registration so that I can get local apps in the app store. However, when I try to do this I get an error message saying I have to unsubscribe to iTunes Match to do so! I've only just taken out the subscription and totally don't want to do this!! Are there any workarounds for this problem?
Thanks all,
Fulvio

No, there is no "workaround." I would suggest that since you are only going to be in Australia for a short period of time just continue to use your UK store account. You still have an address and bank in the UK, yes? It will be fine. Do not bother with the hassle of trying to completely change iTunes stores just for 6 months.

HT204406 iTunes match songs will not play on any device.. please help me..

Hey,
just got iTunes match, set it up to the best of my knowledge.
-Bought it
-Matched and uploaded all of my music
-the 'iTunes match' tab isn't under 'Store' anymore
-music icons show up on iPhone 4 and New iPad
The thing is, when I select a song the song opens, album art and all stays on 0:00 then closes again as if it has finished playing.
I tried deleting a song in itunes then download it from iCloud but an error occurs. I deleted completely then added it to the library to see if i could get it to work.. Not working.
Music from iCloud will not play on any of my Apple things including iTunes.. Can someone from Apple or a smart person from the community please help me out.
If someone works at the Apple store in 'Chermside, Brisbane Australia' and wants to meet me to see if they can help that way I can do that too..
Thank you!

Same here...

Can you Download all Songs from ITunes Match onto Computer without having to click every cloud

I am preparing to cancel my iTunes match service as I have moved from Australia to the UK and want the UK iTunes store but I cannot transfer over untill ITunes Match is canceled and before I do this I want to put all cloud music onto my ITunes and wondered if there was a quick way to do this. I don't want to click on every cloud icon.
iTunes is the PC version

Go to Edit > Select All. This will select all the songs in your library. Then right-click and select "Download."

I need to cancel iTunes Match so I can switch country / region

I have moved from the UK to Australia. I need to cancel my iTunes Match in order to change country on the iTunes store. I have 'turned off auto-renew' but this does not cancel my subscription, which is not due to expire for some time.
I no longer have any UK payment methods, so I cannot purchase anything from iTunes until I switch region, allowing me to switch payment methods. I cannot do this until iTunes match is cancelled.
I simply want my iTunes Match cancelled. I don't want to call Apple. I just want it cancelled. Why is it so impossibly difficult to do this?

HT4914 How do I unsubscribe from iTunes Match immediately?

I need to unsubscribe from iTunes Match to switch locations as I am leaving Australia. How does one do this?
Thanks.

iTunes Match will automatically renew your subscription at the end of your 1 year subscription by default. To turn off Auto-Renew:
Launch iTunes 10.5.1 or later.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password.
In the "iTunes in the Cloud" section, click Turn Off Auto-Renew to the right of iTunes Match.

HT4915 Is iTunes Match really really bad or is it just me?

iTunes Match has to be biggest I have been ripped off this year. It's performance is absolutely abysmal.
I have quite a good internet connection and have no problems elsewhere. iTunes Match now means it can take up 2 days just to get a song onto my phone.
$30+ to take a giant step backward. This needs to the ombudsman and the ACCC. Apple should not be allowed to mislead the public the way they are. I am otherwise very happy with Apple products(well except maps, but that's a given).
Or am I wrong? Is is just Australia? Or Telstra?
I have tried many so called fixed found on here and elsewhere on the net. I have even reinstalled iTunes. But Match still gets stuck. All it need to do is match the songs, I could upload the entire song quicker!

It works very well and very quickly for me, in London and in Chicago.
Maybe it is you?
How fast is your connection?
