ITunes Match on Mac and iPhone

I have more songs on my Mac than would fit on my iPhone.
Can I still use iTunes Match?
If yes what songs will be stored on my iPhone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, that's exactly what iTunes Match is for. Essentially you start with nothing on your phone, but have a full list of everything in your library. As you want to listen to the songs they will be downloaded to your device. This way you have access to everything, even though you couldn't fit everything on your device.

HT204266 I have two different iTunes balances between Mac and iPhone. How do I combine them?

I have one balance for the App Store on my iPhone (ios 4), and my mac (Snow Leopard) iTunes and AppStore, and iPhone iTunes all share a different balance. When a purchase is made on one balance, the other balance is unaffected.
How can I combine the two balances? Any idea what caused it?

I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

How to update covers in iTunes Match from Mac to iPhone?

While importing a CD to iTunes I made the mistake in adding afterwards a wrong cover. I recognized this mistake after updating/refreshing iTunes Match and downloading the new album on my iPhone. In iTunes I changed the cover to the correct one. But the wrong cover is still on my iPhone. Updating/refreshing iTunes Match is not resolving this issue.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

Try this:
drag and drop the album in a folder on your desktop (the metadata and cover will be saved)
delete the album in itunes.
sync iTunes Match
import the album back from the desktop folder.
sync iTunes Match
however, you will lose 5 star ratings if you saved any and listening counter.

Getting a 4010 error from iTunes Match on Mac and not working on iPhone either.

Anyone else having this problem? It started about 30 minutes ago (8:45 PM Central Time, USA).

Hi,
Create a new blank library. Sign into iTunes then match. This will show all music that is in the cloud - you can stream your music from this library.
When you need to update your library, open up original library with ext hd attached.

After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine. How do I get my music back????

The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

I'm all Mac across the board: iPhone 5, Macbook Pro, Apple TV etc. I can't get the movies I've purchased on my Apple TV to appear in my iTunes library for viewing- Any suggestions? I have iTunes Match turned on and everything.

Thanks Terence! I can see iTunes library from neither iPhoto or iMovie . I'll check on iTunes forum.

Im trying to put music on my iphone. when i click music all it says is "itunes match is on" and only lets me click a box that says "sync voice memos" what do i do

Im trying to put music on my iPhone, when i click music all kt says is itunes match is on and has a box for me to click sync voice memos nothing else what do i do

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone

I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone. I cannot even sign in to my icloud account. Someone help me out plzzz

It means you are already signed into the ID as a secondary account on your Mac. Go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts. If you see this iCloud listed on the left sidebar, click on it and confirm that it shows your iCloud ID. If so, click the "-" sign below the account list to delete it. Then you should be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID as your primary iCloud account without getting this error.

After the first install of iOS8 my iPhone5 locked up with a picture of a cord connected to a device linking to iTunes. After taking my iPhone5 to the Apple Store, an Expert was able to get my phone operational again. However, when I returned home I found I no longer had options in iTunes to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5. I suspect that ITunes does not recognize my IPhone any longer. For the past 1.5 years I have no problems updating or syncing my iPhone…it was only after I upgraded to iOS8 last week.

I have an iphone 5s, does not boot, blinking white screen with black logo, when trying itunes restore from mac and pc, error code 4013 which is usb error, any ideas? Does a totally dead battery have that effect? I have had it plugged in to a computer overnight, but maybe does not charge when totally dead?
Please help, thanks in advance all1

Hi eggroll77,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
That alert codes does suggest there is a USB related issue. If you haven’t already, try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article linked below.

I hope this helps.

Itunes match wont enable on iPhone

Hey guys, updated to 6.1 but now when I try to turn itunes match on on my iphone 5, it just changed back to off instantly.
I have tried restarting itunes match on my Mac, i've rebooted my iphone 5 a few times, closed the music app, and signing out of the itunes/app store in iOS settings and clearing all my music on the iphone. Same issue.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I restored my iPhone and it's working properly now. Have to go to all that trouble for one small bug. Really annoying. I'll take my time before updating to ios6.2.

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

I want to create an eBook for iPad , Mac and "iPhone".

While I was beginning with creating an eBook with iBookAuthor, I didn't know that the target group iPhone user is missed.
I want to create and publish an eBook, which is intended for iPad, Mac and iPhone users.
Does somebody know, which software would be the best?

Of course iTunes Producer is supposed to accept .epub files. If yours are not working, I suggest you try to contact Apple via the means indicated at the bottom of the FAQ

Also you could post your specific issue, with any error messages, in the forum for epub issues:

Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song.
EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist. Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
THANKS

Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds.
I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect.
Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems.
Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now? It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore.
Please post if you have any solution or suggestions.
Thanks!

HT3529 Syncing iMessage on mac and iphone

When I went to update my phone to IOS 8 an error occurred and I had to restore my phone. Luckily my mac still has all my messages on it. How can I sync my mac and iPhone so my message are all up to date?

Hey jennnnay,
Thanks for the question. Did you happen to backup your device before updating to iOS 8? If so, your messages should have been backed up and restoring from that backup should bring them back:
