ITunes Match not showing all my songs or playlists

I've just upgraded to an iPhone 5, and successfully restored from an iCloud backup. All apps are downloaded and working ok. iOS is 6.1.3.
But, after turning on iTunes Match, I have no playlists and only a quarter of my songs (titles starting A - F) are appearing. Each time I open the Music app, the cloud icon and progress bar appear, as if it knows something is wrong, but it disappears after a minute or two and nothing's happened.
Songs that do appear download and play normally.
I've been through this process before without a hitch, so any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Meant to also say, I have also tried repeatedly turning iTunes Match on and off, and signing out of iTunes and signing back in, all to no avail.

How do I tell iTunes Match NOT to upload a song / audio file?

I produce music in Logic Pro and later play in iTunes for additional listening and testing. How do I tell iTunes Match NOT TO UPLOAD certain songs or audio files? I have to continously delete files from the cloud.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
It's all or nothing with iTunes Match. If the track is a valid format it either matches or uploads.
Do you want to keep the tracks in itunes? If so, I suggest that you create a second blank library then turn on match. This will show all your tracks in the cloud. If a track uploads, you can delete it from the cloud using this new library. When you revert to your original library, the track will still be present but the iCloud status will now be "removed" instead of "uploaded". You can see iCloud status in song view by going to menu > view > view options and tick box. Match will now ignore this track when scanning your library.

HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;

Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

2 Computers, 1 AID: iTunes Match not syncing all songs

I have the following computers/devices all using the same Apple ID for iTunes Match:
-MBP used at home and remotely
-iMac used at home
-iMac used at work
-2 iPhone 5s
-iPad
All devices are using iOS 7.2 and 10.8.5, iTunes version 11.1.1.
The problem I'm having is that when I import music (or, in this specific case, an audiobook file) into iTunes on my MBP from a CD, that file does not show up on my iMac at home. The file's iCloud status is listed as "uploaded," and the file shows up on every iOS device, and on my iMac at work. Just not on my iMac at home. Both the MBP and my home iMac frequently share a home network.
Thanks for your replies!

I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this. I was esclated through several levels.
They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
I still have an open ticket. But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.
My iOS devices are not working (iPad 3 and iPhone 4) my Apple TV however is working fine. But not showing any new songs I have added.

Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2 software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
Thanks!

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB

ITunes Match not loading all music to iPhone 5s

iTunes is not loading all of my music to my iPhone 5s. It was working fine before, now it doesn't seem to load any new music I put into my iTunes. I have tried to update iTunes Match several times and it still doesn't work. I have authorized my computer already.

Interestingly I just checked my phone and all my playlists have been loaded up..go figure...

ITunes Match not showing up with parental controls enabled

I have an Apple TV 2nd gen with the 5.0 software update, and am having trouble getting iTunes Match to show up when parental controls are enabled. Even with iTunes Match specifically set to "Show" in the parental controls menu, it won't show up unless I also enable Rentals and Purchases, which I don't want. Any ideas?

I'm stumped, I tried it on my own ATV for a lark and came up with the same result.

HT1849 My album is not showing all the songs...

A few weeks ago I bought three songs from an album that was not yet released. Now the album is released I bought the rest of the songs. The price was discounted because of the ones I had bought. But, on my Album page in music, in the album, the previously purchased songs are not shown on the album. It only shows the other songs. Can somone help?

Hmm... Looks like you're still struggling with iTunes's native built-in Playlists. In most cases, these are "smart" playlists that will "automatically" put your songs into them if the songs match the requirement.
Solutions:
1) Delete these Playlists. All they do is just give you a head start to create "your own" unique playlists.
2) Hate to say but delete all the songs from your newly buy CD. No problem, you can sync them into your iTunes again later.
3) Now create your own playlist. You know what to do (I suppose).
4) Organize/drag your selected songs into the playlist you made.
5) Volla!
Good luck manage your favorite tunes! ^_^

HT204406 iTunes Match not showing up when connect to my vehicle.

I have iTunes match turned on on my iPhone 4S, and the songs show up on my device for the most part, but when I connect my phone to my vehicle via USB, it says there are no songs to display. Is this an iTunes issue that they will address, or is a permanent problem that I will not be allowed to listen to my music via USB connection to my vehicle?

I have the same issue. My home shared library can all be seen on my iPhone or my Apple TV 3rd Gen but not on my ipad. Only some movies and tv shows show up. Also. Many of the TV shows are all mixed up. Episodes shows up in different series and all mix up. All those issues only on the iPad, on other devices, all seems fine.

ITunes suddenly not showing all my content, even though the folder does

All of the sudden, iTunes stopped showing all of my content. I have over a hundred movies and several TV shows and all of the sudden, some of the newer stuff that I recently ripped or bought from the iTunes store is no longer showing up in iTunes.
It is still in my iTunes folder however and open and accessible if I click it in Finder. This however is not a good solution as I don't know what is missing from the list and how this ridiculous issue happened.
I am furious. I spend a lot of time adding to my iTunes library for my Apple TV and suddenly, and for no reason that I can discern, content is not showing up, no matter what I do.
I recently moved my iTunes library to a 2 TB Time Capsule and took it off my internal drive, but this worked fine. For a while iTunes kept losing the library, but it no longer asks for it. It points to the right place, plays the content it chooses to see from the right place, and ignore others even though it showed them before and still has them in the library.
I am beyond confused. Can anyone help?

Check on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings that you checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" and that you checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab. Also confirm that your computer authorized for the Apple ID used to purchase this music (in Store>Authorize this computer).

Ipod does not show all the songs...

Hi, I bought a new Ipod G5, I put the songs in the iPod but some artists when you select it, it just go directly to one of their albums without showing any other songs, and when i plug it on the computer, iTunes shows all that all the songs are in there, but the iPod it just not showing them, what's going on?

Hi i found that if you go into the ipod options in itunes (Ipod must be connected), click on the advanced tabthere is a box you can check that says "keep itunes music organized"
i checked this the updated my ipod all 60011 song show under artist now without having to put an album in every song-which by the way is waaaaaay annoying when you have over 3000 songs without an album. hope this works for you

ITunes Match not showing up in sidebar or contextual menus

I subscribed to iTunes Match, and while I've been able to get it to upload in small batches (e.g. less than 100 songs at a shot), recently it decided to stop showing the "Add to iCloud" option when I select songs, even on brand new tracks I haven't attempted to match previously. I thought reloading iTunes might fix the issue, but all that did is take it away from the sidebar until I went to the Store menu and told it to update iTunes Match. Any idea what I can do to get it to cooperate so I can continue uploading the remaining 80% of my library piecemeal?

Same problem here

Help - iTunes Windows not showing all music

I just discovered this - my iPhone has all my music and albums and artists are all correctly labeled and organized. my Win7 PC is all screwed up.
I'm not sure how/when this happened but at the moment about 700 songs are showing up in itunes without Artist, Album, or Genre info. In some cases, a few songs show up in the Album view and the rest are just missing. The only way I found them is by either viewing by Sony or doing a search. Most albums are still missing if I uncheck Group by Compilations.
All the songs are on my PC. I found them in 2 folders - iTune/iTunesMedia/Music seems to be what is displaying in iTunes. All of the ones missing info are in the Unknown Artist or Compilations folders. They are in this folder and sub-grouped by Album and in Windows Explorer they still have the correct Album and Artist info showing. The weird thing is most of these are not compilations. I also have another folder /iTunes/Music that seems to have the correct folder structure but I don't think iTunes is using this folder.
I have tried several things. First i tried copying the songs/folders from either the 2nd database or from the Unknown Artist folder in the iTunes/iTunesMedia/Music folder. This did not change anything in iTunes.
I also tried deleting the iTunes library file and starting a new one. This also did not work but when it scans it brings up 2 copies of every song.
I tried manually importing a folder and selecting each album but this did not work, presumably since the songs are already in iTunes but not labelled correctly.
Is there a way to fix this? Remember my iPhone is fine and I do not want to have to manually update the info for each song/album to re-organize it.

any suggestions on how to resolve this?

ITunes Match not showing on my iPhone 4S

I Bought an iPhone 4S last week and I had icloud and iTunes Match set up but some reason my music will not appear on my iPhone,I have logged out
of iTunes Match on my pc,ipad, and iPhone and logged back in again on all devices but the music is still not on my iPhone.please advise

You need to work through the following steps on the iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
This will work unless you have corrupt material already on the iPhone, here restoring the iPhone is effective.
Ensure the iPhone has latest IOS installed and follow these steps:
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.
To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device. It may take a few minutes for your iTunes Match library to appear on your device depending on your Internet connection, and how large your iTunes Match library is. You may see an iCloud icon with a progress bar while your device syncs with iTunes Match.
A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is not enabled. To enable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On.
