ITunes Match problem - not able to store in iCloud

I subscribed to iTunes Match and have several albums uploaded in iTunes from CDs. I still have 500+ songs that are on my iPhone that apparently aren't available?? How can I get these to iCloud so they don't take up memory on my iPhone? I ran iTunes Match from iTunes while my iPhone is connected a few times and nothing changes (many of which are pretty mainstreem and have to be available for a match). When I go to my music on my iPhone the iCloud icon isn't next to these songs.
Thank you!
Steve

James - yep, figured that out when I went into the info for each song. Also, I'm an idiot. The issue wasn't that Match wasn't working, it was that the songs on the phone were just stored locally but were also successfully matched and in iCloud - all I had to do was remove them from the phone. Since this wasn't my phone (it's my wife's), I thought she had already gone through the easy stuff, but when I checked all the songs on her phone were also in iCloud. Duh.
Thanks for your help, though!

Audiobooks not able to store on icloud

Why can't you "push" and/or store audiobooks purchased and downloaded from iTunes to iCloud? Everything else seems to be abled to store on the cloud. Am I missing something here?

ITunes Match does not list all my music before signing up. Only the ones i've purchased thru itunes and several songs of my own. Where can I find my 400 missing songs? Being able to store ALL music is the only reason why I signed up. Please help.

iTunes Match does not list all the music I had on my iphone. Not on my phone or iTunes. Only shows the music I've purchased from itunes and none of my 400+ songs. Please help. Thank you.

Is your music in your iTunes library on your computer and has match completed its scan of this library.

HT204406 Since updating to ios6 on my iPhone 4S iTunes Match has not worked. The app stays open for about five seconds before crashing. With ios5 it was great and worth paying for. Now it is utterly useless. Apple, please listen and fix this problem.

Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
Has anyone else found a solution?
Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.

After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

TS1368 My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it's so stupid

My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it has messed up my enitre music library

Hello Carpathianna,
No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

What is error 1202? I cannot connect to itunes store. i have downloaded the latest version of itunes and still not able to connect to itunes store.

For those who are getting annoyed, I have found a solution which requires you to create a new apple ID without using credit card information:
1. Go the app store
2. Hit cancel when it asks you to sign in (If it doesn't, continue to step 3)
3. Find a free app and try to download it
4. you to sign in option will appear, it will ask you if you want to use existing ID or create a new apple id. SELECT CREATE NEW APPLE ID
5. Follow the steps and when it gets to the stage it asks you for your card info, Choose 'None'
6. Full in all you name and address etc... And click next.
7. Verify your email and Enjoy downloading FREE apps
8. Say thank you as I do appreciate your love :)

After a series of "unknown errors," iTunes Match is not properly connecting to my library

Last March (yes, that long ago), iTunes Match mysteriously stopped accepting the input of new music to the cloud, always citing an "unknown" error, though each time the number given for the error was different. After trying a number of standard solutions (turning iTunes Match off and back on, etc.), I turned to various tech support forums and tried the various solutions offered there. Nothing worked. Eventually, I found someone who suggested holding down the "option" key while selecting "Turn Off iTunes Match" from the drop-down menu, then turning it back on. Half of the people on that forum said it worked, half said it didn't, and one person said it erased their entire library. I decided to try it, and doing so somehow severed the connection between my computer's library and iTunes Match. Here's what I mean: Once I tried this, suddenly ALL of the songs in my library (songs that were already in the cloud, songs that weren't, AND songs purchased FROM iTUNES) were now marked with the symbol meaning "waiting to be put into the cloud." I tried selecting "Add to iCloud," but it never did anything. Sometimes, it said that no new songs could be added because my cloud is full (It's not. It is somewhat close, but it is definitely not completely full), and other times it just gets stuck in the "Sending Information to Apple" stage. Oddly enough, anything that was already put into the cloud is still accessible via iTunes Match on my phone and the devices of the other members of my family (we share the same library, the "master" copy of which is on my laptop). New purchases from the iTunes store appear there as well, but none of the new manually-imported music can be entered. This is particularly frustrating since my family and I have bought numerous CDs in the intervening time, and we'd like to be able to access them. I took my computer to the local Apple Store for an appointment at the Genius Bar, and three separate people examined my iTunes library and computer, but none of them could figure out what the problem was. We tried creating a new "source folder" for the iTunes library, but we were immediately met with the same problem of not being able to put any new music in the cloud. We also discovered that, because of these mysterious problems, there was no way to remove anything from the cloud, meaning that even if it was full, there's currently no way for me to do anything about it. The only thing we were able to determine for certain is that iTunes Match is not communicating with my iTunes library, though I pretty much already knew that. They suggested I schedule a call with Apple support, but since that would cost $30 just to set up with no guarantee that they could actually help with this problem, I've decided to see if anyone else out there has any useful ideas. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated, as this has been driving myself and my family mad for several months now.

The grand total of songs in my library is 69839, though that includes songs purchased from iTunes as well as tracks that aren't intended for the cloud anyway. As to your other question, ALL of the songs that were in my library before the big crash show their iCloud status as "Waiting." That includes stuff that I'd bought from iTunes. I tried clicking the "Add to iCloud" option for these albums that were already in the cloud, and a couple removed the "Waiting" symbol, but most didn't. As of this past week's bizarre development, everything that was already in the cloud is now being displayed twice in my library, once as "Waiting" and once as being in the cloud but not on my computer, giving me the option to download them to my library.

HT1688 iTunes Match is not downloading properly to my iPhone.

iTunes Match is not downloading properly to my iPhone. I removed some songs from the cloud and it has not sent some songs to my iPhone and a lot of my artwork is not coming down. I have tried to turn it on and off in iTunes, updated to Match and restarted the computer and phone. Nothing works. I just began using Match. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?

ITunes Match problem with accessing all my songs on all my IOS devises

Why are some of my iTunes purchased songs not able to be synced with iTunes match? I can access the songs on my iMac but not on my iPhone. I'm not happy about this and I'm thinking I made a terrible mistake buying iTunes Match

Seriously???
I just want to know if anybody knows what the problem is.. I just want to use iTunes Match on my iOS devices. If it doesn't work I will not use iTunes Match anymore..
Cause you data got corrupted during either upload, matching process or download. Most likely first two, since you already tried to download to ipad as well. Decision to use or not use match is up to you.
Good bye.

Do I have to subscribe to iTunes match to be able to import my own CDs to my library?

I have just imported a CD to the new iTunes and it will only appear in the Up Next list, and doesn't appear properly in my library. I have tried restarting iTunes, and it didn't work. I am wondering if I have to subscribe to iTunes match to be able to import my own CDs? I also can't see the album in iTunes to be able to add the songs to my iPod, is there anyway to resolve this without subscribing to iTunes match?

Hi,
You don't need subscribe to match.
Many posters have reported this problem. Have a look at the posts on this topic in the Itunes for Mac forum.
A suggestion made in some posts is that if you download the free single of the week from itunes store.
Can't comment any further as I have never encoutered this problem.

HT204406 My iTunes Match will not complete Step 3 of the uploading process. Many songs are "waiting"

My iTunes Match will not complete Step 3 of the uploading process. I have over 700 "items" designated as "waiting." I have restarted multiple times but it stalls at this point.

I've been reading all these comments about how match is not working and people are having problems uploading all their songs. My problem is more basic than that. When I open iTunes I immediately get the spinning color disc of death and I can't do anything at all. I can't go to the store. I can't listen to a song. I can't do anything. I just tried to sync my iPod. I pugged it into my computer, iTunes started up, looked like it was going to sync, then the spinning disc again. So forget match; I can't do anything, nada, nothing. I even tried to send my iTunes application to trash, but I got a message saying I couldn't do that because it was needed for OS X. Talk about a do loop, this is unbelievable.
Is anyone else having the problem I am having?

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in music folder in finder and on iPhone/ipad with itunes match but not in iTunes?

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?

Not working. And it didn't used to be a problem. iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album). Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything. Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well. The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store. Not gonna happen. If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
This worked fine before OSX 10.8.

ITune Match Problem

I subscribed to iTunes match to be able to download and listen to my music from my cd collection. I downloaded the music in iTunes, status says music is available in iCloud. problem is, in iTunes, the icloud icon is not shown by each song as it suppose so I do not think they are downloaded to icloud athough available (that's possible right?). Also, on my iphone, I do not have the option to 'show all songs. If I select to turn on iTune Match, it wants to replace my existing music on my phone. Can anyone help with this? I do not want to lose my currect music, that's why I paid for iTune Match.

Thx for your reply. Itunes Match was actually off on itunes as I could check with your clue
But when I click on the iphone icon on itunes and select music, there is no option to sync songs and it says "itunes Match is on".

My Music from iTunes Match will not sync on Apple TV

I cannot seem to get my iTune Match to sync to my Apple TV.
Selected MyMusic and get the message that it will take a few minutes depending on library size and internet speed.
Library size is big and speed is quick yet I have left this buffering for a whole day on a number of occasions and it is still buffering hours later.
ANy any help would be most appreciated.

I had the same problem. I "Reset" (not just restarted) my Apple TV and when I reconnected to iTunes Match it successfully connected and I'm able to play songs through iTunes Match. Not sure if it matters but I'm using a wired connection.
