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?

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.

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 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.

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.

ITunes match not showing up in settings on my ipad

It uploaded from my mac fine and it works great on my iphone but it doesn't show up on my ipad. I restored and still nothing. Anyone have a solve for this?

Read this and make sure that you did all of the setup properly on your computer.

Have you ever enabled automatic downloads on the iPad? Settings>Store Automatic Downloads>Music>On.
This associates your iPad with your account. If you download a past purchase that associates the device as well.

Itunes match has removed my playlists from itunes and my iphone. Not only that, many of the songs 'matched' on itunes do not show up on my iphone. Seriously annoyed, wish I'd never paid for it

Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
Any Really annoyed about this

iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
Try this.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
 Cheers, Tom

CD's not purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on Apple TV! How can I fix this?

CD's purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on my Apple TV! How do I fix this?

You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

ITunes match not updating on devices

Help. Please.
itunes match not updating. iTunes on computer has appropriate songs/ albums. But on iPhone and ipad changes do not appear. I have tried holding down shift key when turning off iTunes Match, signing out of iTunes Store, then quitting itunes. I then start itunes, sign into store, then turn on iTunes match and it goes through lengthy scanning, hours, and I am left with the matching page showing the three stages of iTunes Match greyed out, with a button offering me to start it again. Re
i have repeated this process several times, switching off iTunes Match on devices before starting iTunes Match on compute - same problem. I have changed albums while iTunes Match is on, as recommended by apple's webpage.
please advise on how to update iTunes match so this change on computer also happens on devices. Thank you in advance

Dear Jim
thank you so much. Thank you for your quick reply, sorry I did not respond sooner, but I wanted to make sure it worked before replying, hence I had to wait for iTunes Match to do its thing.
You are are a genius Jim, so a big thank you.
So in a nutshell for all, Jim's solution works for those who have gone over their 25,000 limit by mistake, and are unable to update match, you can with Jim's solution, delete stuff in the iTunes Match cloud and in effect have your original iTunes Match library as you want it.
Thank you Jim

HT4913 When I go to Settings- Music and slide ITunes Match to Off, it still appears as On under ITunes and App Stores in the Settings menu. Once I turn this off, on returning to the Music menu under Settings, ITunes Match still shows as on. What to do?

I (though am not sure what happened) solved the problem. Under show all I had both videos and music selected as on. I turned off videos and ..hey presto..the slider reappeared.

HT204406 iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4

i am having a problem with the iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4, once in iTunes it just shows the iCloud logo, and does not load all my albums/song etc.

I'm guessing you mean the iTunes store.
What specificaly happens when you try to access the store? Any errors?
What do you mean by full factory reset? Does that mean a restore as new?
Are you able to access the store via Wi-Fi?

TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
What am I going to do?

The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

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.
