ITunes Match is syncing my music library using 3G but I have the option switched off.

Hi,
I have found a problem syncing my music using iTunes Match and my iPhone has used 2GB of my data plan in a day. The steps to reproduce the problem are:
Precondition: iPhone is using iTunes Match and has a list a few songs in the cloud without syncing.
Steps:
Switch on 3G connections in the settings. (Settings > General > Mobile data > Mobile data & 3G ON)
Start syncing a list of music.
Switch off the option to use data plan to sync music (Settings > Music > Use data plan > OFF)
Result: iPhone continues downloading all the songs of the list using my data plan.
Expected result: iPhone stops syncing the music because there is only a 3G connection and the option is switched off.
This is why I would like to make a complaint to Apple. How can I do it?
Thanks.

Everything that is on your device should be in your library too. If that is not the case then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. See also Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
Once you have secured your content you can work on resolving the sync issue.
When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
Restore the chosen backup.
In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

  • I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone.  How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

    The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone.  How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

    Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
    Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto.  Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

  • I have asked this question before, and had a useful reply, but I have the same problem. I cannot unlock the screen from landscape

    How do I unlock the screen on my mini Ipad which is stuck on landscape? I have a green tick in 'lock rotation which I cannot remove. it asys 'use slide switch to ......., but where is the slide switch?

    What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Depending upon the version that you have you may have a Settings > General > Use Side Switch To setting on your iPad :
    In the above image the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control will rotation lock - so putting that side switch 'on' on the side of your iPad will give you an image of 'rotation lock' in the middle of your iPad's screen for a second or so :
    and you should get a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator, and putting the switch 'off' will give an unlocked image in the middle of the screen :
    and the lock symbol will disappear from the top of the screen.
    If you have the 'mute' option ticked on the above image then you will get a bell icon with/without a line through indicating whether you've muted/unmuted notifications.
    As there is only one side switch and 2 things that it could control, the function that the switch isn't controlling (i.e. the unticked option in my first image on this reply) will be controlled (if your iPad is on iOS 5 or 6) via the left-hand end of the iPad's taskbar (double-click the home button to open the taskbar and the slide that taksbar to the right), or (if your iPad is on iOS 7) via Control Centre (swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open it)

  • ITunes Match will sync my music from all the stores?

    Hey! I want to get iTunes Match, but I still have doubts about how it works. I have songs that are not available on the USA store only on the France store (for example), will iTunes Match sync the song even if it is not available on my store? and will give me the matched song? Or it all depends on the country where the account was created?  Thanks.

    No, iTunes Match does not match your library across country stores. It only matches music to your "store of record." If a song cannot be matched it will be uploaded.

  • ITunes match has destroyed my music library. Help!

    So basically several years ago I bought an external hard drive to combat low storage space on my laptop, and moved all my iTunes files to there. However, the hard drive is broken, so most of my music could only actually be played on my iPod, the only songs I could play from my laptop were ones which had their files saved on to the laptop itself. I saw about itunes match and thought that would enable me to save songs from my iPod on to the cloud, thus allowing me to access all my songs from my laptop too. However, instead my ipod has now also lost all the songs that were saved to my hard drive, and only has the few songs I had saved to my iPod. So right now it seems I've paid £21 for the privilege of losing the vast majority of my music library. Is there anything I can do about this?
    On a side note, this issue has made me realise how terrible and counter-intuitive apple tech support is.

    Sorry to here about your problem. I'm afraid that there is nothing you can do to recover your lost music. Itunes match works by scanning your iTunes library on your computer not your ipod.
    Possibly, you could see if you can get someone to recover the music from your ext hard drive.

  • How do I get iTunes Match to upload my music library from my external hard drive?  It only got some of the music and not a lot of it at that.

    I'm trying iTunes Match and not having a great time of it so far.  It only got a fraction of my music from my music library.  I contacted support and they told me that it would recognize my external hard drive and take all of the music.  My collection is all from CDs with the exception of a few from iTunes.  I just want more of my collection to be available.
    Can anyone help with that

    The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

  • ITunes match and my household music library

    I'm looking for ideas / tips here, as to what other people do.
    My family shares the music library on 1 MB Pro. So there are a lot of songs in the music library that 1 person might like, but the rest do not. But I notice that all the music library's songs are now on my iPhone via the cloud. So when I shuffle, I'm getting all the songs from the music library to play, including those of my 7-tr old girl, ha.
    Prior to signing up for iTunes match I only had on my iphone the 600 or so songs that I really enjoyed, and would shuffle thru those. I'm assuming the obvious suggestion will be to create a playlist of those same songs and then just shuffle that list. Any other ideas or suggestions are also appreciated.
    Thanks

    Out of interest, how many songs are we talking about that you want excluded?
    I have another possible solution if there aren't too many.

  • ITunes match has wrecked my music library!

    So here's the scenario. I have just under 25,000 songs in my iTunes library. I also have a subscription to iTunes Match and so far it has worked perfectly until around 48 hours ago.
    For no reason I can work the metadata for my library has changed in the cloud and those changes have been pulled down to my Macbook Air (the only place I have match turned on). I now have around 10,000 songs that have a blank album title and all list the same artist (not anyone who appears in my library!), they still have the correct track names, artwork, track and disc numbers.
    To check it was actually incorrect in the cloud I enabled match on my iPad and that shows the same, incorrect, results.
    So here's my dilemma, I somehow need to get the cloud version to roll back to around 48 hours ago.
    I have a backup of my library file (but not the actual library), if I replace the library file I get back all the correct data however now those 10,000 songs get a file not located error as my library was set to keep organised! When I then use locate it replaces the correct data with the incorrect data!

    Thanks for that Michael. Unfortunately the problem seems to be with the copy in the cloud. If I turn on match on my iPad I see the same, incorrectly labelled, library. I did actually try deleting the entire local library and redownloaded but it's made no difference.
    It seems something has happened to the cloud copy that has corrupted a lot of the metadata so if I can't roll back the cloud version somehow I have a big problem!
    I have just under 8,000 tracks that have been affected, of those around half are sat on my iPod with the correct metadata but I don't think there's anyway to recover that back into iTunes.

  • HT1535 The music I have in my i touch does not match or sync with music on my Mac.  What is the best way for me to sync both devices without losing any music?

    The muisc I have in my i-Touch does not match up with the music list in my Mac, therefore have issues syncing.  Is there anyway to keep all those songs without losing some of it?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • My pc crashed. I got it back up and running but my itunes music library is gone.  I have the music on my ipod but am afraid to sync new music in case it deletes all my music off my ipod.  How do I get the music back onto my library but not delete of ipod?

    My pc had crashed several months ago.  I got it back up and running, however my itunes library with all the songs I purchased is gone.  I still have all songs on my ipod.  If I purchase new music from itunes and have it synced to my ipod will I lose all the music on my ipod?  Also is there a way that itunes can reinstall my music to my library?

  • Is there a way to use iMessage but not have the texts sync to my iPad or other devices, just stay on my iPhone?

    I don't like when things from my phone sync to my iPad or iPod, so I am wondering if there is a way to keep the texts on my phone and off of everything else.  I share my iPad with others and don't want to be in the middle of a conversation when all of a sudden it just appears while someone else is using the iPad.  In addition, I don't want the messages to syn to the computer when I plug my phone in, as I also share the computer with others.  This has kept me from using iMessage because of how iCloud works, but maybe I just don't have a good understanding of how they work and someone can clear it up for me.  Thanks.

    I don't even see the iMessage option on my iPad anywhere. Maybe it needs to be updated?
    Does this have anything to do with iCloud or just iMessage?

  • I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

    I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???
