Itunes match is making itunes non responsive

Hi! Ive been looking into this issue on both the "itunes windows" and the "match" forums with no real luck. I updated my itunes, it is fully updated on all things i use. I left itunes back in Jan2013 because at that point only being able to add my desktop (not my laptop) to itunes was a disappointment. So happy i can add this laptop now to download things from my match while I'm away in other provinces working.
OH BUT WAIT.
I update itunes, add my laptop and jump for joy only to discover... itunes goes not responding EVERY time i change albums, try to open albums from match, try to download songs or albums from match.. The resource count its using isnt even that high? (CPU is only at 35%, ram is at 22%), so its not my end. It locks up, wont let me shut it down. Then today, I went to try it again. Now i have a "terms have changed" popup. Ok. Go to accept them, it times out and give me errors.
So how is this fixed? I'm on w8.1 now. It did this on w8 also.

Well, that is not out of line.  Close and reopen if you must, wont hurt anythng.

  • ITunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network

    As it says in the subject, iTunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network. For a while I thought the problem was with iTunes Match itself. And maybe it still is somehow. But I recently discovered the problem only occurs on my own home network. Any time I add a song to iTunes that isn't in the iTunes store, it should upload it. But instead it just loops in failed attempts to upload, always stopping and starting over at step 1. Occasionally I'll get error messages like -9810, but more often it'll just continue to loop for hours on end. I recently took my MBP to a coffee shop and used their wifi and tried it there, and the songs uploaded without any problem at all. I never used to have this issue over the entire year I was using iTunes Match. My only guess as to what might have caused the issue is when we downgraded the speed of our internet. I can't recall for certain whether that was the exact time my issues began, but it's the only possible change I can think of. I've tried rebooting the router, turning iTunes Match and Genius off and on, rebooting the computer, creating a new iTunes Library, all not solving my problem. Any other ideas?

    There's a longer thread discussing this problem over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=120&tstart=0
    What I posted there is that if I enable QOS on my router and limit my upload bandwidth (I used a cap of 1024 kilobits/second) then iTunes Match stops looping and will successfully upload songs and complete match.
    There aren't any blocked ports, it's really just iTunes being a pig and oversaturating the internet connection to a point of failure.
    Super frustrating, it's been a bug for months. I wish I had a better solution.

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do?  Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

  • I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads.  Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads.  Whaddup?

    I bought iTunes Match; nonetheless, on iTunes Radio I routinely get ads.  Apple says that with iTunes Match one should not get ads.  Whaddup?

    Requiring Match to be switched on, even though we have paid, to get ad free Radio can be costly.  Why?
    Because if you want to listen to Radio with cellular data (not much data required) you are also agreeing to Match over cellular which can suck data like you won't believe.

  • What is An unknown error occurred (11556) ? i Can't connect iTunes Match on my iTunes.

    What is An unknown error occurred (11556) ? Why i Can't connect iTunes Match on my iTunes ?
    file://localhost/Users/kandi/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202012-07-13%20at%202.37.57%2 0AM.png

    I get this error also. It is getting quite annoying. I tried contacting support and this is what they sent me:
    "First, make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the iTunes website:
    http://www.itunes.com/download
    Certain types of software can cause conflicts and prevent iTunes from connecting to the iTunes Store properly, even if the software appears to be configured to allow iTunes access. This can include firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software.
    If the error message persists after you upgrade iTunes, you can pinpoint which software program is the source of the block in the connection by using the MSCONFIG utility on your computer. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n305415
    In addition, if you are connecting to the Internet via a local area network (LAN), your router might have firewall settings that may interfere with your downloads and produce this error message. I suggest removing the router from your computer's connection and then connecting your computer directly to your modem. For assistance with settings for your router or modem, you may need to contact the manufacturer.
    When configuring the software on your computer to give iTunes access to the Internet, you'll need to allow the following domains :
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    If you require more in-depth assistance, you may wish to consider calling Apple technical support. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support options and can help you determine which option might be most helpful in this case. You can reach AppleCare technical support at 800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273). Help is available seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. central time. "
    Didn't help me... maybe it will work for someone else.

  • HT204406 How can I subscribe to Itunes Match redeeming from itunes card instead of using credit card?

    How can I subscribe to itunes Match redeeming from itunes card instead of using credit card?

    Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

  • I have subscribed to itunes match on the itunes on my pc. But my iPhone says i need to subscribe still even if i am already subscribed

    i have subscribed to itunes match on the itunes on my pc. But my iPhone says i need to subscribe still even if i am already subscriben myu
    it already marked on my credit card. when i log in my itunes on pc, it is already subscribed but when i turn on the itunes match on my iphone 4s and 5, it says that i need to subscribe itunes match via itunes on my pc. which i already did

    You need to be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase iTunes Match. On the iPad go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Tap sign out. Then sign in with the correct Apple ID and you should be able to enable iTM on the iPad.

  • Is it possible to by iTunes Match with my iTunes account witch doesn't contains credit card informations?

    Is it possible to by iTunes Match with my iTunes account witch doesn't contains credit card informations?

    No. Since iTunes Match is a subscription service your account must contain a permanent form of payment to subscribe.

  • Itunes match in 10.5 non developer build?

    I updated to the non developer release of itunes 10.5 and my itunes match is gone?

    it is only available in selected countries and also requires you to pay a yearly fee to Apple.
    read the support documents that came with the installer.
    Because you are a Developer, you might also be interested in the 10.5.1 build, get it at the portal.

  • How to tell if iTunes Match is making progress?

  • Can't get iTunes Match to work; iTunes keeps crashing.

    I am running iTunes 11.0.4.4.  When I click on "Store", "Turn on iTunes Match", iTunes crashes and I constantly get an error message "iTunes has stopped working".  I have tried various fixes, none of which seem to work.  How can I get Match working again?

    Hi there
    I did as you suggested, step by step and I still have exacly the same problem. 
    When I click on "Store", "Turn on iTunes Match", iTunes crashes and I constantly get an error message "iTunes has stopped working".
    This problem is still there despite upgrading to the latest version of ITunes for Windows.
    Any other ideas?

  • Can I pay itunes match using an itunes card or do I need a credit card?

    Hi all!
    I have two questions!
    First: I'd like to buy "itunes match" and I have enough itunes credit to buy it, but I'd like to know if itunes will use "itunes credit" or will use my credit card for the payment. 
    Second: I've tried Google Play before, and I'm not satisfied at all. Google uploads in the cloud the itunes library but the synchronization process doesn't allow to change or modify file: for example, if i change the title or the year of a song, they won't change in the uploaded file, because the synchronization allows only to upload or delete files from the cloud, not modify them.
    Is it the same also in Itunes Match or the synchronization is complete such as with an Ipod?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I think that you can but must continue to have a valid credit card on your account.

  • ITunes Match with 2 iTunes-libraries and one Apple-ID

    Hello.
    I am using iTunes on a Mac, iPhone and iPad.
    I have two iTunes-libraries with one Apple-ID, one local on my MacBookPro an one with my HomeServer.
    The change between the libraries is realised with a program named "Libra".
    Now i have iTunes Match and the sync with the local library was pefect.
    But what happened if i change at home the library when i want using the library with my HomeServer?
    Is it possible or make it problems?
    I hope you can help me.
    Thank you.
    Thomas

    I'm not familar with Libra, but if it gives you a way for iTunes to be associated with another library at launch, meaning it looks and behaves the same way your original iTunes library does, then when you launch and link to that library, initially iTunes Match will be turned off.  You will have to turn it back on (if prompted to "add this computer, just do it, and if asked for your Apple I.D. just do it).
    Once iTunes Match is turned on, it will scan your library and the results will be added to the initial match.  Providing everything in your second library is determined to be eligible (low-bitrate songs won't be, neither will audiobooks, videos, etc.) you will have a merged library available in the cloud
