ITunes match. Problems. Reading Music Library. Start, restart and do not finish.

I've purchased iTunes Match few days ago and I'm facing some problems.

How shall I fix this problem? Please help me.

  • ITunes match verses a music library on Time machine

    If my library is already on a Time machine that is set up for home sharing for all my devices at home, is there any advantage/disadvantage to use iTunes match?

    Having access to all your music on your iOS devices outside your local network.

  • I have just got iTunes match. It appears that since joining and starting it some tunes have been deleted from my library. They are shown in the listing but iTunes can no longer locate the files. Any suggestions?

    If they are showing in the Videos app with a cloud then go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and set Videos (under the 'Show All') heading 'off' - you might (depending upon which country that you arein) have a similar button for music and the Music app.

  • Can't download music - seems to be an iTunes Match problem

    I have iTunes Match activated, which is working fine on my iPad and iPhone.  However I cannot download purchased music onto the iMac. 
    In my household there is a shared iMac and each user has a different login & password.  Only I know my login password.  I have been using iTunes successfully on it for years, and have been using iTunes successfully for about 6 months now.  Auto-download has been disabled for several months now because I don't want everything downloaded automatically.  All has been fine until about a fortnight ago when the iMac stopped downloading newly purchased music whenever I clicked the little iCloud icon.  This is for music that I have successfully purchased and downloaded on my iPhone whilst at work, and now want to listen to at home.  Whenever I click the iCloud icon to download the new song I get an error message telling me that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID, and I have to wait 54 days etc to sign in with a new Apple ID.  However I'm certain no other Apple ID has been used with my account - when I go to the Store menu it is showing my current and correct Apple ID. 
    The most telling proof that my Apple ID is correct on both iMac and iPhone (and iPad as well) is that when I plug the iPhone into the iMac, the new music syncs across EXACTLY as it should - and it can then be played without problems.  Both the phone and the computer are correctly logged in to the same Apple ID, which is the same Apple ID that I use for iTunes Match.  Also when I click Store -> Update iTunes Match there appears to be no Apple ID conflict.
    Obviously this is an iTunes Match problem which I cannot resolve, can someone please provide assistance / advice.
    (iPhone 4 with iOS 6, iMac mid 2010 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, single Apple ID for iTunes Store, iTunes Match and iCloud).

  • After latest update itunes match crashed with empy library

    After being a little late i finally updated itunes to the latest version (on windows 8.1), now itunes keeps crashing when it connects to itunes match (from an empty library all music is in cloud)
    Tried a lot of solutions here like:
    hold shift and create new library
    delete all itunes related files and re install
    disable firewall and anti virus
    I cant look for corrupted files, since there arent any songs on this laptop.
    Anyone has any idea what solution i might be missing? Problem starts seconds after syncing an empy library to itunes match

  • ATV 2 IOS 5.0.2 with ITunes Match problems...

    My ATV2 with IOS 5.0.2 has a problem with of ITunes match. The music aborts again and again. Up to the restart. Everything else runs perfectly. I put already the ATV new. But still the same problem.
    In various forums I already read over the problem. There said the problem is because of iTunes match. What can i make? _but be of ITunes match genuine too expensive.
    Thanks Gelberlemmy

    It seems like the problem was just solved. I had to go into my lockdown folder (see point number 6: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529) and delete all the stuff in there.
    The error message said: "Failed to start sync with iPhone (Name)".
    It was a bit longer but that is the basic content.

  • ITunes match problems on iPhone

    I just subscribed to iTunes match and setup my iPhone to use the cloud for music. It works except for the fact that on the albums tab it just says "no music". I am not sure why this is the case because on my ipad the albums show up fine. Any one else having this problem and know a fix?
    I have tried turning match off and then back on as well as rebooting but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated. I am running iOS 5.1

    Hello, and first of all thanks for try to help me.
    I read the information of the links, and saw if that information can help me, regrettably it doesn't.
    Just says about software minimum requirements, turn cellular data on, itunes viewing options (i check it), settings for turn itunes match on (i check it always), options and settings for appear songs missing from itunes match on the computer (is not the case, i have no problems with my laptop). Check icloud status (i check it, it's ok).
    Albums artwork missing & duplicated playlist (is not the case neither).
    So, unfortunately don't say nothing about can't download uploaded songs from itunes match to iphone 5.
    Hope you find another possible solution.
    thank you...

  • HT204074 How can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod. I no longer have a Pc. It died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.

    How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPad.?
    I no longer have a PC. Mine died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.

    If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together & share music.

  • ITunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide

    iTunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide from cloud - the files that do not upload show grayed out on my other devices.

    Have you confirmed that you successfull purged iTunes Match by also looking on an iOS device?  If so, keep in mind that Apple's servers may be experiencing a heavy load right now.  They just added about 19 countries to the service and I've read a few accounts this morning that suggests all's not running perfectly right now.

    I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    hI, bella
    I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
    1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
    2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
    3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
    4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
    5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
    6. Click 'OK'.

  • Got iTunes match, synced up music from laptop to phone, headed out listening to playlist, all of a sudden, mid-song, music stopped and all music was gone and needed to be re-downloaded

    Ok, so I initially bought the cloud mainly in the hopes that I could store all of my music on it and have access to it on my phone, which ended up not being the case. Fine. So I man up and get iTunes match, sync everything up between my laptop and my phone, make a playlist and head out listening to it. All of a sudden while I'm out, mid-song, the music stops. I go to see what's going on and everything is gone and has the icon to download next to it, and now I'm away from my wifi to boot, so charges apply. I don't understand. Now I have iCloud on my phone with 25 GB Total Storage and 25 GB Available because I don't understand what I should be using it for and iTunes match which, what, only works when I'm within spitting distance of my laptop? I've tried to get everything sorted out, paying a fee each time, and hitting roadblocks every step of the way; and on top of it, my phone is constantly telling me it can't do this or that because I don't have enough storage?? I realize I'm a bit of a noob, but c'mon, it shouldn't be this complicated or difficult, should it?

    If you have no network access (3G, Wi Fi) you cannot stream music from the cloud. Period.The way you stop the behavior is to enable 3G, or pre-download the tracks you think you will want to listen to. 

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!

    Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!
    - Music was purchased outside of iTunes store
    - On a vacation
    - iPhone 4 has all my music
    - No access to iTunes
    - Want to buy a new iPhone 5s on vacation but this is holding me back

    Honestly, I've never used iTunes Match.
    Keep in mind that iTunes Match is only for music, any other media content would not be affected.
    Also, pictures synced to the device from a computer will not be moved over unless the new device is restored from a backup on that computer.
    Personaly, unless the current iPhone was damaged or otherwise acting as if on it's last leg, I'd wait.  There may be better options in 3 months.

    Is it normal for Step 1 of iTunes Match (gathering info about library) to take hours?

    If I recall correctly, mine took around 15-20 minutes for around 12,000 tunes.
