ITunes Match indicates more songs than Library

Updating iTunes Match says "2821 songs are now available in iCloud", however, my library says 2820.  This occurs w/ 3 separate computers (Win7 desktop and laptop, and a MacBook Air running OS X Lion) all synced to the same iTunes Match account.  I know it's only a variance of 1 track, but has anyone else run into something similar?  Any way to manage just the music in iCloud?

iTunes Match if only matched with a single library can only contain upto the number of Songs in that single library - clearly if it has access to more than one library it is soon going to contain more Songs than any individual library.

  • My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold.

    My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold. What is the best way for me to choose what actually goes on the ipod?

    Or, when you are synching choose the songs you want on the IPod by checking them in the library, then tell it to only synch checked items.
    To be honest, the 'smart playlist' is probably a simpler way though. Go to playlists, click 'create new smart playlist' and choose your parameters from there. As you add new music to the library the playlist will update itself.

  • My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

    My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?
    I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?

    It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
    If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
    If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
    Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well

  • HT201210 My Music library is showing more songs than I actually have? How do I fix this?

    My actual music library on my phone is showing 100+ more songs than I actually have. But on my computer it's showing a completely different (less) number? Should I restore?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      

  • Here's the exact scenario with it: 1) Ipod connected successfully to iTunes. 2) Drag song from Library(in AAC format) to My Ipod. 3) Song plays successfully in iTunes. BTW: This is one of the songs from my cd. Not bought. 4) Eject Ipod. 5) Find song in

    Here's the exact scenario with it:
    1) Ipod connected successfully to iTunes.
    2) Drag song from Library(in AAC format) to My Ipod.
    3) Song plays successfully in iTunes.
    BTW: This is one of the songs from my cd. Not bought.
    4) Eject Ipod.
    5) Find song in Ipod and press play.
    6) Display for song and time appear.
    7) About 1/3 of a second of the song plays, then it cuts out and restarts itself. (boots me back to apple logo)

    Nope - and it was set to not look for them.
    The final clue came when I tried hooking the drive directly to the computer, instead of to the airdisk. iTunes still hung. Then I disconnected the drive and tried to run it, and iTunes came up right away - but with an ! next to each song. Clearly it was trying to find/touch every file in the library on first startup.
    I didn't try plugging in the drive and leaving the hanging iTunes running for more than a few minutes, so it's possible that it would have recovered and launched. But after removing the XML file, restoring the library to my pre-7.7 version, I could hear it accessing the directly attached drive (and see it in disk activity in the monitor) for a few minutes (less than I'd left the hanging one trying), before it came up.
    Conclusion:
    1) 7.7 is definitely trying to touch/see all the files in the library on first launch (proved by the ! when they are missing).
    2) Disconnecting/interrupting the touch/see MAY have corrupted something (can't prove it).
    3) Since touching 10,000 files takes a LONG time even at 802.11n speeds (let alone b or g), it's worth the hassle to plug the drive in directly for the first time.
    4) Patience is a virtue

  • HT4914 iTunes Match, find lost songs

    I've lost my songs that I bought in iTunes on my iPhone, will iTunes Match help me get them back?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
    Peace Out.

  • HT4914 If I do not resubscribe after the first year with itunes match will any songs that have been upgraded in quality lose this upgrade or will it remain?

    If I do not resubscribe after the first year with itunes match will any songs that have been upgraded in quality lose this upgrade or will it remain?

    Dottie,
    If you want to upgrade the quality of a song in your library, you have to delete the library copy and download the matched copy.
    Once it is downloaded, it will stay in your library even you don't renew Match.

  • Does iTunes Match eliminate need for storing library on my iPad?

    I have an iPad (3), and a subscription to iTunes Match.  My iPad (16GB) is almost out of room, the vast majority of the space being ocupied by 9.8 GB of Music.  I assume that is because many tunes are being stored on the iPad, even though I don't need them to be there.  How do I get all that music off the iPad, freeing up space for other things.  I understand that I'll need to have a wi-fi or data plan (god forbid!) to acces my music in the Cloud, so all I really want to do is not store so much music locally.  Thanks.

    LoonyTunes,
    Yes, this is the way I have my iPad set up. I removed all the music from the iPad flash memory, thereby freeing up a whole ton of memory for other more important apps like games.  My iTunes account is connected to my iTunes match, so every song is accessible. Keep in mind, when you want to listen to a song, it must be downloaded. As you do this, memory will be used, so it's important to keep track of how many songs you have downloaded. It is easy to delete the songs, and download them again from the cloud if necessary.  Canava is wrong when he says music is streamed to your iPad.  It is streamed on OSX devices, but downloaded on iOS devices like your iPad and iPhone.

  • I have more songs than I can put on Ipod.  How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space? Thanks

    I have more songs than I can put on Ipod. Will unclick some songs but one at a time is taking forever. How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space needed on iPod? Thanks

    Why not try syncing a smart playlist that updates automatically every time you sync your iPod?
    Try something like this:
    1. Pull down File > New Smart Playlist;
    2. Playlist IS Music; click the plus button;
    3. Last Played IS NOT in the last 90 days;
    4. Select the option to Limit to xxx items selected by Random and click OK.
    Name the playlist that is created something distinctive then sync you iPod with that. It will automatically update based on the last played dates of a tune and you'll always have fresh content on your iPod. Modify the playlist as needed to make it give you the results you want.
    Regards,

  • HT204406 Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available but none of my playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac there looks to me no issues

    Started iTunes Match and the songs are individually available  on my apple TV, and there is a tab for playlists. Yet the only playlists available are the Preset itunes generated 4: 90's music, Classical Music videos, and Recently Added. Yet even the recently Added playlist does not contain my most recelty added music purchased form iTunes and shows that is in the Cloud. None of my other playlists are on my apple tv yet looking at the playlists from my iTunes on my mac, there looks to be no issues relating to them and the cloud. Even tried making a new playlist. It made no difference. It would be nice to figure out how to have my music available on my TV without having to open up my computer everytime. Yes I know I can use my cell phone but, I'd like to put my photos to music and to set that up I need the Itunes Match playlists to WORK

    Hi I had exactly the same problem, I don't know if you setup your Apple TV before you subscribed to iTunes I match? If you did then I did the same and although all my songs showed up on my Apple TV none of my playlist did.
    This is how I fixed it I went into settings on the Apple TV menu and reset the device back to factory default, I then setup the unit again adding in my iTunes username and password etc, ticked the bix that says turn on I match and then went into music
    It took a few moments but it said updating once this finished I checked playlists and all my playlists as per my desktop PC were showing up!
    I hope this Helios resolve your problem too :)

  • Will iTunes Match re-upload songs replaced in Library at higher bitrate?

    In my iTunes Library (18,000+ tracks, mainly ripped from my own CDs), I have tracks ripped at different bitrates, from 128, 160, 256, 320 kbps, as well as Apple Lossless. Given how cheap storage has become since I first ripped many of my CDs, I am going through my CD collection one last time and re-ripping everything into Apple Lossless (ALAC) format. I am starting with the tracks that are in the Library now at 128 & 160 kbps. Many of these songs have been matched by iTunes Match, so they are available to me from iTunes at 256 kbps, but I will still create ALAC versions.
    My question is about the tracks that iTunes Match has uploaded to Apple. When I replace the tracks in my Library recorded at low bitrates with the ALAC version, I would like for iTunes Match to notice and re-upload the new file. I understand that iTunes Match will convert ALAC files and upload them at a max of 256 kbps, but right now it seems that iTunes Match does not recognize changes in the underlying file on my computer. For example, if a track was originally uploaded as 128 kbps and then I replace it in my Library with an ALAC version, the 128 kbps version stays on Apple's servers instead of being replaced by a 256 kbps version. I have tested this by downloading tracks from the cloud on other machines connected to my account and they come down at 128 kbps, even though an ALAC file is in the "master" Library.
    So my question: is there a way to get iTunes to replace uploaded files on Apple's servers with the highest bitrate version possible if you change the local file after it has been uploaded?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Drew

    Hippogreen,
    I chose not to follow your Item 4, ie, I am ripping new ALAC tracks directly over the lower bitrate tracks in my existing Library. I just did not want all the extra labor involved in recreating playlists when I reimport, and I did not want to lose the metadata of playcounts, date original imported to library, etc.
    If you do as I am doing and want the new ALAC track to directly replace the existing ones in your Library, your Item 1 is relevant:
    1) If I have heavily corrected the metadata of a track and it is substantially different from the info provided by iTunes (when I re-rip the CD into ALAC format), how will iTunes know that it is a duplicate?  I assume I will have to manually de-duplicate in such a situation.  I am thinking of uploaded rather than matched tracks.
    Like you, I had heavily corrected and personalized metadata, including my preferred capitalizations (often very different from Gracenote and the automated data from iTunes!), track performers, etc. I wanted to preserve all of that, but if your tracks' metadata differs from that which is automatically supplied when you insert a CD, then iTunes will not offer to replace the existing tracks. The solution for me was an AppleScript I found at the fantastic website Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes (dougscripts.com). Get the script "Copy Track Info to CD Tracks v1.3". The URL is:
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackinfotocdtracks
    This script copies all of your personailzed metadata to the CD tracks so that your own metadata is preserved while iTunes recognizes that the CD is already in your library and replaces the tracks. You can read the complete instructions at dougscripts.com and in the included documentation. It has been a lifesaver, and is truly the only way I have been able to move forward quickly re-ripping my CDs into ALAC.
    Note also that when iTunes "replaces" the existing tracks with the new ALAC versions, it does not actually delete the original files. They remain in the same folder where originally stored, but they just become unlinked from the iTunes Library entries. The new files are linked to the iTunes entries, but you are not in danger of losing your original files. You have to go in and delete them manually if you want, or keep them.

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).
