ITunes Match not syncing album by year in Music app

I have been cleaning up my iTunes library, on my MBP. While importing some new songs and editing some old ones, the albums are sorting correctly by year in iTunes, but not in the Music app in iOS. I edited the year info for all the tracks in the album, but the year in the Music app says the old year, which means the albums are out of chronological order. I use iTunes Match to sync. Where is the old year hiding?

Well, after a weekend of complete disaster and nightmares for iTunes Match, everything is back to normal except one major flaw that's really annoying me.
On friday no other tracks but the matched ones would stream on either my Apple TV or my secondary computer. They wouldn't download if I wanted them to on this secondary computer. Music videos included.
Later last evening every track on iCloud started working properly again. Except music videos. They'd not download on my secondary computer. They wouldn't stream on my Apple TV. I did some tests and out of 208 music videos currently compatible with iCloud (because they were purchased with the same account) only 3 actually stream and download. So either this is part of the temporary breakdown iTunes Match has been suffering, or because of it my music videos are corrupted.
I've contacted Customer Support 4 times to no avail so far regarding a response. Either I can play/download my music videos again or one of the main features for me of iTunes Match on my Apple TV is absolutely broken and useless.
Apple really needs to address this and solve my problem. Otherwise iTunes Match is only partially working. What would the use of buying music videos at the iTunes Store would be for me from now on???

ITunes Match not syncing with iOS 8.1

Hello,
It appears tome that iOS8.1 has introduced a new issue with iTunes Match.
If you enable it on the iPhone it will sync properly the first time but after that it will stop syncing.
If I add any new songs, edit songs or albums infos, perform any action, I won't see any of this in my iPhone with iOS 8.1
I even don't have lyrics for songs, which I had with 8.0.2
Do any of you experience the same issue?

I've had this issue since iOS 8. From what I can tell, this issue is isolated to iOS 8; not an iTunes issue or a specific iOS device issue.
Here's my evidence to support that:
1. I have never, ever had this issue with iTunes Match, and I've used the service since it was introduced. The issue started when I first updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5.
2. I then purchased an iPhone 6 Plus. Issue persists
3. I then decided to switch out my 6 Plus for a 6. Issue persists.
4. Here's the kicker: I kept my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.1.2. If I add music to iTunes Match, it immediately appears on my iPad.
I've tried several workarounds in an attempt to fix it: Airplane Mode toggle, reboot, restore/setup as new.
I've only found one solution, and it works every time. Turn off iTunes Match on my iPhone, turn it back on, and voila, my newly added music will appear. Very inconvenient though, as this process deletes any of the songs I previously downloaded to my iPhone via iTunes Match.

ITunes Match not syncing after changing stores.

i have noticed this before. i have accounts in 2 different countries. if i go to the other store for an app on my iPhone or iPad, my iTunes Match no longer syncs. now i am reading in other posts that you can only change stores every 90 days??? is there no way around that? 3 months is a bit long not to have any music on my portable devices.

ok, sorry, i figured it out. when switching stores, it evidently turns off the iTunes Match option in your settings on that device. you must go to settings/music and turn the iTunes Match option on again.

ITunes match not syncing normal playlists correctly

I have iTunes match enabled on my computer and on my iOS device. I made a playlist that consists of 195 songs on my computer. I opened Music on my phone, and I see the playlist there with all 195 songs no problem. I open iTunes on my computer and delete a few songs down to 128. My iOS device still shows 195 songs.. I restart iTunes and my iOS device and iTunes still shows 128 songs, and my iOS device shows 195. I hit update iTunes Match on iTunes on my computer and all those songs I deleted are back and it is showing 195 songs on the computer now too. How do I update my playlist using iTunes Match? Is the service this buggy/unreliable?
I also noticed I have reset my play count on iTunes on the computer and it is all back too. It is like any changes on iTunes on the computer are not updating to iTunes Match.

I am also having problems with smart playlists on OS7 iphone 4s with mountain Lion on my mac
I have two smart playlists, one for music not played in 6 months, the other for zero plays, the other criteria for the lists are media type 'music' and track time ' less than 15 minutes.
These two playlists have 619 items and 108 items respectively in my mac but on the phone it shows 2962 items (for both lists) and a cloud symbol next to the track - although scrolling down, there are some tracks that do not have the cloud symbol - these look like the original 619 and 108 in the lists
Other smart playlists are fine and appear to be not affected

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.

Why does iTunes Match not sync to my iphone 5?

I have tried about every suggested solution i found on the interwebs (including this community) concerning this problem but iMatch still just doesn't want to sync on my new iPhone 5. I am getting desperate..
The only thing I see is a frozen cloud-screen when i start the music-app..

I had this problem too, and solved it yesterday.
This anomaly is related with the 1st time iPhone activation by iCloud. without using iTunes.
If you erase your phone and restore your iPhone using iCloud backup, it won't work. But, if you erase your phone (backing up all informations on your computer) and restore using the iTunes software, it will work.
I did it yesterday and solved the problem.
What I did:
1) connected the phone on my computer and did a complete backup on my computer;
2) erase the phone (you can do it on iTunes or on the phone);
3) before put my account information on the phone, plugged it on the computer again;
4) follow the instructions on iTunes (restore the backup)
Sorry my poor English, i'm Brazilian. I hope it help!

ITunes Match not allowing stream - also loss of music.

Hi guys,
Hoping somebody can help. Recently tried to listen to some music via the Cloud on my MacBook Pro. I couldn't play the music and iTunes had the symbol of the Cloud with the lines moving through it. This stayed the same for several days so I googled how to fix. I was instructed to Turn off iTunes Match on my computer and turn it back on again. I have done that and also updated iTunes Match. The only music I can see now is the music saved to my hard drive and the cloud with the lines is still there. As you can imagine, this is very frustrating. Anyone able to help?
Cheers!

Hi,
The symbol of the Cloud with the lines moving through it suggests that your are not making a connection to the iTunes. Did you try holding the option key whilst turning match?
If you have not already done so, try rebooting your internet router.

ITunes Match not working on iPhone 5

My iTunes Match account is set properly on iTunes but I can't activate it on my iPhone 5, although every setting is "on" and I've gone through all the troubleshooting. What else can be done?

Thanks for asking. I mean that, although I'm duly authenticated with my Apple ID and have the iTunes Match activated on the Settings menu, the Music App does not show any of my music. Whenever I open the app, the “cloud” icon shows up and I can see that the device is trying to connect/authenticate to iCloud but then, after a few seconds, nothing is returned and there’s a message saying that there are no songs available. Everything’s working fine on my PC and on my iPad (besides the iMac where I activated Match), the problem seems to affect only the iPhone…

Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?

I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

ITunes Match issues syncing multiple accounts

I recently signed up for iTunes Match to sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone 4s and iPad. The problem is that it will only correctly sync my .me account. I have missing album art and songs depending on which account I am signed into at the time of a sync. I am at the point of leaving both iCloud and iTunes Match.

Why do you think you had to create a new .me account to enable iTunes Match? All you had to do was enable it on your existing iTunes Store account ID.
Be that as it may, iTunes Match does not transfer across iTunes store accounts; it is associated with only one account. However, your use of the word "sync" in this context is confusing and unclear. When you use it do you mean you are physically connecting your iDevice via USB? Because iTM does not "sync" in the traditional sense. So what, precisely, are you trying to do? Set up iTunes Match or sync your iDevice? The two are mutually exclusive.

Just got a new iMac my itunes will not sync music to iPod

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER USB DEVICE CONNECTED. NOTHING AT ALL. IT SEEMS MY IMAC IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AN OLDER IPOD??
HELP. THANK YOU.
