ITunes Match, iPad, and smart playlist issues.

I have one particular smart playlist, that iTunes Match correctly syncs to my Macs and my iPhone, but no matter what I try, it shows as "no songs" on my iPad. Both iDevices are running iOS 7.0.3.

Hi zentralorgan,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you are trying to AirPlay from an iPad to multiple AirPlay outputs. This feature requires iTunes on a computer, and cannot be done on an iOS device. Since you have iTunes Match, your music should still be the same on your computer as your iPad.
Listen through multiple speakers
With AirPlay and iTunes 10 or later, you can listen to music through your computer speakers and multiple AirPlay outputs.
The maximum number of outputs is three to six. The number that works for you depends on your environment (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the outputs, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

Take care,

Itunes match bugs and lost playlists

There`s too many glitches, bugs, freezes etc, It`s too easy to lose playlists (I lost several years worth). Keep your library backed up locally, this is no substitute for time machine! Overall, it`s a nice idea, but it needs a safety mechanism to keep the playlists backed up, it seems a hard drive glitch on one machine can result in deletions being replicated across the cloud quietly in the background.
Also, there`s no point in the iphone feature, because with a large library the iphone can`t cope and just crashes espcially on 3G.
Things were better in the days of an ipod classic, syncing through USB to an itunes library stored locally, at least it worked! I think I`ll go back to that until things improve.

iTunes Match does over-promise, it certainly has a number of shortfalls (all of which now well documented in thisctforum) but what it enables is very impressive.
For synchronisation acrorss multiple libraries it is very good, provided you steer clear of Smart Playlists the iDevice capability is very good - though keeping one or more iDevices on a manual synchronise to library certainly provides a worthwhile route depending upon how you choose to work with your music.
Overall the service is impressive and certainly worth staying with, though it is not for all, your suggested route of waiting for the service to mature is perfectly reasonable.

Looking for Smart Playlist Documentation for iTunes Match (iCloud), and iOS

With iTunes Match I don't understand exactly how Smart Playlist's are suppose to work with iTunes Match (iCloud) and my iOS devices. I am looking for some official (possibly draft) documentation.

Is this a general rant or do you have a specific question ?

Itunes match has removed my playlists from itunes and my iphone. Not only that, many of the songs 'matched' on itunes do not show up on my iphone. Seriously annoyed, wish I'd never paid for it

Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
Any Really annoyed about this

iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.

HT4913 iTunes match subscription and device association

I have recently purchased an itunes match subscription and I was able to associate it with my new ipad mini, but when I try to turn on itunes match on my iphone 5 and original ipad it won't work. I get an error message that says that I do not have a subscription to Itunes match. It references that I need to go to my computer. When I log on to my itunes account to manage devices, I can see the ipad mini, but not the phone original ipad. Any thoughts on why I can't get this to work? The iphone is latest iOS, but original ipad is only at iOS 5.1 (highest I can go with this ipad, but still compatible with itunes match).

Kate,
You may want to try signing out of the existing Apple IDs (as set up on the iPhone and iPad), then signing them back in.

If the two devices are still misbehaving, you might need to turn them off then back on, or reset them as necessary.

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11.01 the "Smart" playlists feature no longer works. I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list. I haven't changed the steps that worked for me previous to the upgrade. I have no idea

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11.01 the "Smart" playlists feature no longer works.
I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list.
I haven't changed the steps that worked for me previous to the upgrade.
I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
Any suggestions?

Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but ITunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results. Also, ATV says my computer is not authorized, but I-Tunes says it is.

Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results.
ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhone

I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

Podcasts Playlist and Smart Playlists Problems

Whenever I connect my iPod to my PC and start iTunes, I see that both my Podcasts and Smart Playlists have all reverted to regular playlists. Even when I fix the problem by deleting it all and recreating the playlists, the next time I plug my iPod in and start iTunes the same thing happens. I've reinstalled iTunes and I have the most system update for my iPod. I also manually manage my Podcasts. Does anyone have a clue what's going on?

I've solved this problem by working through an unrelated problem. Try the solutions in these two articles:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
In particular, do all of the solutions involving uninstalling and reinstalling iPod software and iTunes. Also, clean up your temp files and iTunes installer files. Finally, try reinstalling the COM interface for the iPod service.
I suspect that following all of the various uninstall/reinstall directions fixed it, but the rest is worth trying. I'm not sure what did it, since I couldn't get iTunes to recognize my iPod but none of those solutions fixed that particular problem(I just had to remap the drive letter.) Any one of those things could have did it, really, since it worked great once I got it working again.
Good luck!

Turn off itunes match subscription and cancel the remaining balance on my account to change the country store

Good afternoon. I want to turn off itunes match subscription and cancel the remaining balance on my account to change the country store as I do this?

You will need to contact Apple by call to gain the appropriate support directly. There can be significant issues in changing country.
First step is always to ensure that you have a secure backup of all of your Songs.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title. The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly. I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over. I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear. It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

Can you share alert and ring tones from iTunes between iPad and iPhone

Hi mrmoo13!
You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
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.
In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

Here are some things to try:
Close itunes
Check your internet settings.
Control Panel – Internet Options – Advanced
Check SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
Uncheck “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)”
Click Apply
Click Okay
Open itunes and try again
And, you don't need to turn off the firewall, just add itunes and itunes helper to your security software firewall.

Songs not playing correctly in playlist in iTunes Match - iPad

I turned on iTM on my ipad and iphone. It works great on my iphone. All of my playists show up on both devices. When I try and play music from a playist on my ipad, the song displayed is not the song that is playing. When it goes to the next song, it just sits there and doesn't play. I've downloaded all of the songs in this particular playlist. Not sure if other people are having the same issue.
Thanks,
Jim

This has happened several times to me since I originally posted. I found it happens when I add more music to a playlist that I already have on my iPad. Below is a fix.
1. Turn off itunes match on your device. This step is important.
2. Delete all of the music on your device. General / Usage / Music
3. Restart your device.
4. Turn iTunes Match on
5. Download the playlist you want.
I hope Apple fixes this soon. This fix is not ideal and takes a good bit of time, but it works for now.
