ITunes Match is on but all my music is on iPhone?

Hi,
      I've subscribed to iTunes Match, and successfully matched all my music.  However, when I turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone, all my music is still on my phone.  I've tried syncing my iPhone to iTunes a few times.  However, when the sync is done each time, none of the songs on my phone have the iCloud icon next to them.  The usage meter in iTunes for the iPhone shows it has all the music still on it.  Finally, when I turn on Airplane Mode, I can still play any song on.  Can someone tell me what step I've missed to get iTunes Match to work on my iPhone?
Thanks,
Jason Mazzotta

On your phone, go to Settings -> Music.  At the top, there should be a switch to turn iTunes Match on and off.  Once you turn it on, it should give you a notice that doing so will erase all music on the device.  Tell it that's fine, and then it'll activate it.  To see everything you have, and not just what's on the phone, make sure to set the "Show All Music" switch to On once it appears.
If you're still having trouble, try hitting the Settings button in the top left and then go back into the Music settings and ensure the option took.  I had to do this 3-4 times the first time I checked it after turning on iTunes Match.

    Hello gogreenj14,
    If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
    iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
    Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
    Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    Click the Add This Computer button.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
    iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
    A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
    Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • ITunes Match does not list all my music before signing up. Only the ones i've purchased thru itunes and several songs of my own.  Where can I find my 400  missing songs?  Being able to store ALL music is the only reason why I signed up. Please help.

    iTunes Match does not list all the music I had on my iphone. Not on my phone or iTunes. Only shows the music I've purchased from itunes and none of my 400+ songs.  Please help. Thank you.

    Is your music in your iTunes library on your computer and has match completed its scan of this library.

  • HT4914 My pc which I have iTunes on is dead, but all my music is also on my iPad, if I buy a new pc and subscribe to match can I easily download the content back to the new pc

    Hello My pc is dead and all my music is now only on my iPad with no other back up....if I buy a new pc and subscribe to iTunes match, will it let me download the content back to my pc easily ?

    iTunes Match can only be subscibed to, and upload music from, a computer - you won't be able to do it from your iPad.
    You should be able to copy the music back from your iPad to a new computer, and you may find these two pages useful for doing so :
    syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    recovering content from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Music purchased from iTunes can be copied to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and for music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) there are some programs listed half-way down that second article that should be able to copy them back.

  • I purchased itunes match to free up 6gigs of music on my iphone. Can I delete my library to free up all that space?

    I purchased iTunes Match to transfer all 6gigs of music from my storage to icloud.
    The download is complete and all music has been transferred to icloud but on my iPhone I'm still using the 6gigs which defeats the whole purpose.
    Question: can I delete the music on my iphone and if yes, how do I then use the icloud to access my music via iphone??
    Thank you,
    FT

    Yes! It's very simple.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Usage, and under the Storage area, find Music. You may have to tap Show all Apps. Tap on it, then hit Edit, and then delete the data. This will delete all songs from your iPhone.
    Then go to Settings > Music and turn ON iTunes Match. Go into the Music app, and all your songs will appear, ready to play/download, and you will have freed up 6 GB.
    Enjoy!

  • After the cloud and iTunes Match, Can I access all my music in airplane mode?

    Seems like Apple hasn't been very clear about this. So now all my music is being stored in the cloud. That should allow me to free up space on my phone...but if I turn on airplane mode, what would be left on my phone if I delete my music locally? If I can't delete the music locally on my phone, what's the point of storing it in the cloud? just backup?

    Of course the music in the cloud which has not been downloaded to your iDevice can't be accessed while airplane mode is active. However, all music that has been previously downloaded to your iDevice can be played. 
    iTunes Match is not designed to be a streaming service. When you listen to music it is downloaded to your iDevice.

  • HT4914 if i got itunes match and i lost all my music on my computer

    i'm now having to reload all my music back on my laptop after the hard drive died, if i get i tunes match would i be able to download all my music to my laptop if it happend again ?

    No. The local files are neither moved or touched. They are simply "matched" or "uploaded." Any purchased tracks will be marked "purchased."
    Also, unless you delete tracks from the local iTunes library when you play it the local file will always be played. iTunes Match does not stream by default in iTunes.

  • Itunes match renewed and lost all my music

    My itunes subscription automatically renewed on 10/6/13 and I have a reciept for the transaction.  Now all my music is missing.  This is really ******* me off.  I have so much music it will take forever to get it all back on my computer and then into the cloud.  Does anyone have suggestions on how to find my music in the could again?  Yes, I have itunes match turned on.

    Have you done a search of your hard drive to make sure the purchases are actually gone and haven't just been erased from the iTunes library database? iTunes Music Store: Finding missing music and video downloads
    If they are completely gone, if you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. The official policy on music/media purchases is that you only get one download and it's up to you to maintain a backup against loss: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page, from there click on Music Purchases then the Lost or Missing Items option, from there click on "Email Us": Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

  • ITunes match is not uploading all my music.

    iTunes match is not uploading my music.  It is stuck on Step 3 uploading 0 out of 224.  iTunes is hung up and can only be force quit.  Been stuck at 0 uploaded for 18 hours or more.

    I have tried rebooting, turning match on and off.  Nothing I seem to do changes anything.  I can add new songs that get uploaded okay but I am still stuck on uploading 0 of 224.  And there are some song's that should be matched but stuck at "waiting".

  • I have cleared all my music from my iPhone. I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes, but some songs are still on "on this phone" in itunes, how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?

    iOS 8.0
    I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes and I have cleared all my music from my iPhone.
    On my Mac, on itunes (version 11.4) if you click on "on this phone", there are still remaining 70 songs...
    how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • 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.
