ITunes Match No Unlimited Skips on iTunes Radio

I just updated my Macbook Pro to OS X 10.9.3, and now I can't get anymore unlimited skips on iTunes radio. I have iTunes match, and am logged in on my computer. Did iTunes remove the unlimited skips with iTunes radio for Match subscribers? Or is there anything I can do to get my unlimited skips back? Thanks!

This topic has actually been discussed on this forum. Contrary to some reports in the tech media, having an iTunes Match subscription never allowed unlimited skips when using iTunes Radio.

HT4913 If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will my music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud?

I have a large music library on my iPad, that is not currently on iCloud or on my main PC. If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will the music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud? Or will I loose all that music?

ITunes Match has been crippled on iTunes 10.7. Anyone else experiencing this? Please help!

Running iTunes 10.7 on 10.6.8
So, I am still on iTunes 10.7 (yes, I have been with iTunes 11 and have tried iTunes 12, but in my opinion, 10.7 is hands down the best version of iTunes to date).
I have been using iTunes Match on iTunes 10.7 for over a year without issue. Anytime I launch iTunes or wake my computer up from sleep, it automatically starts doing an update and any new songs are instantly added to the cloud. It was reliable and worked flawlessly until about 4 days ago.
A few days ago when things started acting weird, the first thing I noticed when I opened iTunes was that it no longer updated iTuens Match automatically and the iTunes Match tab was missing under the iTunes Store tab where it normally always appears.
I manually tried updating iTunes match by going to the top of the page, under Store < update iTunes Match (at the top of the page) than iTunes Match appeared.
It did the 3 step process, but once you hit 'done' at the end. The iTunes Match tab disappeared The iTunes match column disappeared and if I right click any of my tracks, ALL my music had the 'add to iCloud' button (files that were already in the cloud).
I didn't lose any of my music. On my iPhone, all my music still appears when I have iTunes Match on.
Here is what I have tried to fix the problem:
1. Completely removed my Apple ID identity from iTunes: Turned off iTunes Match, deauthorized the computer and signed out of the Apple ID
2. Removed iTunes Store cache and quit iTunes
3. Did 'repair disk permissions' in disk utility
4. Changed my iTunes folder to 'iTunes 2' so it would create a new iTunes folder. When I opened in the new iTunes. It was a blank slate. When I reauthorized my computer and turned on iTunes match, it still wouldn't work. When I hit 'update iTunes Match from 'store' at the top of the page, it goes through the 3 step update, but once it is done, iTunes match disappears and none of the songs in the cloud appear (this is what leads me to believe that maybe I am not alone, and maybe Apple has stopped allowing iTunes 10.7 users from using iTunes Match)
5. I once again did step 1 and 2 and re installed iTunes using the saved DMG file.
6. I did an smc reset (this was a long shot chance of doing anything, but I wanted to exhaust all my options)
7. Restarted my computer
I also noticed that you can now longer download the iTunes 10.7 file from the Apple downloads page. When you try to download, you get this error message:
An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #30.7ed16bd1.1425254177.1b62a8
This is another possible signal that worries me. That Apple maybe removing online tools like iTunes Match on older versions of iTunes.
Is anyone on here still on iTunes 10.7? Is iTunes Match still functioning normally for you? Do you have any tips on what I can do to fix this problem? Are there any library or preference files associated with iTunes that could be causing the problem?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

Need to re-add computer to iTunes Match each time I open iTunes

Every time I start up iTunes (10.6.1.7) on my Windows Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit), I see the cloud with lightening bolt icon next to the music item in the iTunes Library indicating that iTunes is not connected with iTunes Match. I am able to work around the issue easily enough by clicking on the store menu, turning off iTunes Match, and then turning iTunes Match back on (and entering my Apple ID password and waiting a few minutes for iTunes Match to redo the initialization process). I would like to actually solve the problem instead of having to work around it every time I fire up iTunes. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

I have iTunes 10.6.1(7) 64 Bit on OSX Lion 10.7.4 and I have to log into and resetup iTunes Match every time I open iTunes after I have restarted my Mac.

ITunes Match - Greyed out songs when iTunes restarted

I am using iTunes 12 (latest version) on a Macbook 2010 running Yosemite 10.10.1
I do not store any music locally, and access around 2000 songs in iTunes Match. When I turn on iTunes Match, all songs display fine in iTunes.
The problem - When I quit iTunes and relaunch it, the songs are all there, however they are Greyed out and do not respond to any clicking or playing. This results in having to turn off and on iTunes Match every time I open iTunes, extremely annoying.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hopefully when you deleted them locally, you did not check the "delete also from iTunes Match." That said, while I don't right-click, I do believe that if the item is grayed out, and it has a cloud icon next to it with an arrow, it's telling you that it's available for download. If that's what you're seeing, then just click on the cloud icon to download.

HT1844 Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them. They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music. I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

Itunes Match won't open in Itunes Store?

I'm trying to subscribe to Itunes Match, but everytime I click on the Itunes Match link, it says "The Itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Which would be okay, except it's been a while and it still won't work, and the rest of the store is working just fine!
Anyone else having this issue?

There was some trouble on the server side earlier this week, but it is cleared up now. It should be working for you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Open iTunes.
Select Store.
Click on iTunes Match to turn it off. (Mine is shown already off.)
Click on Turn On Genius to turn it on.
Quit iTunes.
When you re-open it, iTunes Match should be turned off, and iTunes Genius should be turned on.
(You can return to the iTunes Store setting and check it.)

ITunes Match songs not available on iTunes startup

Hello,
I am having a problem with iTunes and iTunes Match. When I startup iTunes on a computer that only has the iTunes Match library, all of the songs that are in the cloud are unavailable for me. They are all greyed out (see image below).
I did find a workaround where I turn off Itunes Match and then re-enable it. But that is annoying.
Anyone have any advice?

No, my issue is that all songs are greyed out once I restart iTunes, whether I closed it by mistake or restarted this never fails. I can deactivate iTunes Match and reactivate but that doesn't always work. When matching IS working all the icons are normal and all files are either matched or uploaded.
The cloud icon by the Music library ends up with diagonal repeating lines moving from left to right indicating a continuous loading. I have let the app sit there "loading" for 2 days thinking maybe something is just congested on Apple's end.
Considering what I've read on the forums as well as the fact the it works FINE on the Mac leads me to believe that Apple screwed up the PC end when updating to the most recent revision.

ITunes match recently started skipping parts of songs on iPhone and Ipad

Just recently my Itunes match started skipping after 10 secs of most of the new music I would upload to itunes. A few albums work fine, but many skip after 10 secs and often repeat the 3rd song. Anyone have any ideas? The songs play fine on the computer itunes.
thx

Yeah did that I read through at least 6 different forums nothing worked, even changing info in the meta data of the songs.
What I posted does help, if everyone stops using the service then Apple will fix it. There are post where people say apple support says they have never heard of this problem yet this post is from 5 months ago and it still an issue.
My guess is you've never heard of Apples auto correction. If you want to look smart post links to things that actually fix the problem. Being a smart a$$ is the least helpful way in any situation.

ITunes match enabled, only getting ads in Radio

Very frustrating... so I'm just trying to listen to Radio in iTunes. I've got iTunes Match, and it's enabled. But the channel is only playing ads, with long periods of silence between ads.
I'm running iTunes 11.1.3.9 for Windows 64bit.

Problem seemed to pop up after loading iTunes 12. I have the answer
using the computer that is causing the problem:
Load iTunes
Click on store, 4th from upper left on task bar
click on Deauthorize this Computer
sign in.
After the computer has Deauthorized, click on Authorize this computer
sign in
The process turns off iTunes match so:
Turn on iTunes match, three lines up from Authorize this computer, still in the Store pull down menu.
Should work. Worked for me!

ITunes match question (manual sync and iTunes library)

Hi all
Just noticed that iTunes match is now avaliable in Denmark, and therefore I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for elsewhere.
My situation is that I have all my music on a NAS (and on at USB backup drive). Some of the music is in 128 AAC and is 320 mp3.
On my macbook pro I have all of my music converted til 128 AAC so I can fit all of my music on my iPhone (10000 songs). All my music on my iPhone is manage manually through iTunes. I normally 1) add it to itunes, 2) transfer it to iphone and 3) remove the music again from my iTunes library. I mostly just have an empty iTunes library (since i play music from my iPhone and my Sonos system) and just use iTunes for ripping CDs and editing of tags.
Since my iPhone is running out of space, I thought it would be a good idea to have some of my music i iCloud (iTunes match). From what I've read it is not possible to have both music transfered manually from iTunes to my iPhone and at the same time accessing music from Itunes match? What I really would like is to have 20 GB on my iPhone with the rest avaliable through iTunes match (20 GB) for when I need it. Is this possible?
My second and most important question is about the itunes library. What happens if I connect to iTunes macth and afterwards remove all my music from my itunes library? As I just explained I prefer my itunes library to be empty unless i want to transfer music to my iPhone.
Hope you can help me with some answers?
Thánk You.

That info has not been released yet but to venture a guess, I doubt any extraneous info such as comments will be used.
Also, iTunes Match will not use your tags to identify songs. Some algorithm will analyze the audio file to match.

Can my wife use her iPad to get access to my music via iTunes Match and still retain her iTunes store user id?

my wife has a new iPad and iPad Store user ID. I have a seperate iTunes store user id and subscribe to iTunes Match. All my music is now in the "cloud". Can my wife get access to my music via match and still retain her iTunes store user id?
The only way I seem to be able to get Match to work on her iPad is if she uses both my iCloud user ID and my iStore user ID.

Essentially I have the same problem. My spouse and I have a shared music collection on 1 computer. We've used different id's for our various devices for years. Currently we both use iPad minis iPhones and AppleTV. I have iTunes Match on my account. Recently we haven't been able to access songs bought or downloaded by the other id. iTunes says that the computer is associated with another id. In fact we have 1 song that didn't finish downloading when an album was bought on my spouses account while the rest of the album is there. My suspicion is that I will need to go down to a shared id when we buy our new MacBook Pro for Boxing Day. But, if we do that are we able to have separate calendars and passbooks and other features? Is there another option? I'm willing to stop using iTunes Match if necessary.

ITunes Match erased metadata from my iTunes Library

I have been frustrated by the inability to show music sorted on my iPod by “Album Artist.” I really like that I am able to do this on my iPhone and iPad. But the iPod will only show “Artist.” This is a real pain when you have several albums by the same artist; but also, when there are numerous track artist variations because of guests, duets, etc. So instead of a single album artist listing for all such albums, I get about 25 separate listings. Aughh!!! Very annoying!
I have come up with what I think is a pretty viable work-around, however. I discovered an AppleScript available online - by Doug’s AppleScripts - that allows for transferring, copying, appending, or replacing information in any iTunes metadata field with the information from another field. It will do this for selected iTunes tracks, even my whole library if I select all tracks. To make this work for me, first I went through my entire library and copied the contents of the “Artist” field to the “Comments” field. When complete, I then selected all my music tracks, EXCLUDING classical music, and copied the “Album Artist” to the “Artist” field. I did not do this for classical music because I think the related track artist info is really important – it is useful to know what symphony or orchestra is performing, for example. Also, I use the “Composer” field for all my classical music, and the iPod Classic allows for sorting on “Composer.” Problem solved for my classical music. If I’m in a classical mood, I just sort on “Composer.” For all my music that is NOT classical, my “Artist” field is now the same as my “Album Artist” field. And if I really need to know specific track artist information, it is still available for viewing in the track “Comments” field of my iTunes, on my iMac. This whole process took about 30 minutes for just under 12,000 songs. Not bad!
Here’s a crazy kicker, though. I also use iTunes Match. The next day after I had made all these changes, they were all changed back again! The metadata I had changed reverted to what was previously written to the iCloud! Any ideas on how I can prevent that from happening if I’m using iTunes Match??

Michael... what you are describing above is not accurate. The iPod Classic does NOT have the capability of using the "Album Artist" field from iTunes to sort music. This particular metadata field is not even available to the iPod Classic. Only the "Artist" field is available. (It is the other way around with the iPod Touch, iPhone, and Ipad -- for these iOS devices, the "Album Artist" field is the one that is available, and not the "Artist" field.) There are numerous posts here in the discussion forums from other folks who are frustrated by the same issue. The iPod Classic can only sort and group songs together by "Artist" -- that is, the track artist. And the track artist is often quite different from the album artist. For example... I have 29 different Barbra Streisand albums in iTunes. For all of them, the album artist is "Barbra Streisand." There are several different track artists however. Most of them are just Barbra Streisand. But she also does a duet or two on several albums. So there are track artists like... "Barbra Streisand with Kim Carnes," and "Barbra Streisand with Barry Gibb," and many more like that. After syncing to my iPod Classic, when I sort on the iPod's "Artist" field, I get about 25 different iterations of "Barbra Streisand and .... " as the artist. Yes, "Barbra Streisand" does appear among them. But the only songs that are listed under "Barbra Streisand" are those that she sang by herself, and where she is the only track artist. Given the setup of the iPod Classic as it is now, using firmware version 2.0.4, it is NOT possible to use the Album Artist field to sort and group songs together.
