ITunes Match renewal question

When my iTunes match automatically renews, will the payment be taken from my account balance or from my credit card?

Hi,
Once match completes its scan of your library on your computer, the icloud status for tracks will be matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, waiting or duplicate. The last three will not be in the cloud.
All tracks will be unchanged on your hard drive unless you opt to delete and replace with a matched version.
After you turn on match on your devices, all tracks in the cloud will be available to stream. You can download them of course. If you add new tracks to itunes library on your computer, match will automally scan and update that library. Those new tracks will eventually appear on your ios devices and you can download them. There is not automatic downloads for matched content.

As far as I know iTM auto-renewal must be disabled only in iTunes, via your account.

Itunes match renewed and lost all my music

My itunes subscription automatically renewed on 10/6/13 and I have a reciept for the transaction. Now all my music is missing. This is really ******* me off. I have so much music it will take forever to get it all back on my computer and then into the cloud. Does anyone have suggestions on how to find my music in the could again? Yes, I have itunes match turned on.

Have you done a search of your hard drive to make sure the purchases are actually gone and haven't just been erased from the iTunes library database? iTunes Music Store: Finding missing music and video downloads
If they are completely gone, if you have an iPod that still has any of your purchases on it you'll find details in this article on how to transfer them to the computer: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. The official policy on music/media purchases is that you only get one download and it's up to you to maintain a backup against loss: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page, from there click on Music Purchases then the Lost or Missing Items option, from there click on "Email Us": Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

Is there any way to cancel the iTunes Match renewal after the transaction?

Hey everyone,
My iTunes match has just automatically renewed even though I'm about 90% sure that I deactivated it when I reinstalled iTunes due to the fact that iTunes match would make it crash every time...
I really can't justify spending £20 on something that I'm never going to use and I think it's kind of naughty of Apple not to send me an email before. I can't really say that I'm surprised with the way I've been treated as a customer since I got my iPhone.
But yeah, is there any way to cancel it and get a refund AFTER the renewal or is that completely unheard of?

You can always try contacting iTunes support and seeing if they will reverse the transaction. I would think that iTunes Match would show up on the Report a Problem page. Note: it's at the support agent's discretion on whether they'll issue a refund since the store policy is that all sales are final.

You will need a valid credit card.

ITunes match cloud question

All these songs from the cloud are taking up all my space on my iPhone. I'm using iTunes match. Is there a way to send the music back to the cloud after I'm done listening to it so it won't use all my storage?

Even when you download from iTunes Match, the content remains in the cloud, so you don't so much need to send it back but rather just delete it.
Swipe and delete, will work on individual tunes, albums and artists.

Post iTunes Match Artwork Question

I ran through about 10,000 songs in my collection and got them up to the cloud via iTunes Match. That all went well. Except I'd say about 2,000 of them don't have any artwork. I'm going though and changing that, but hat's on local files.
Once I change them, how do I go about getting the version of the uploaded file up there with the art? The only way I can find is to delete them locally and from the cloud, and then readd 'em and re-run the match. Is there a way to delete a track from the cloud and leave it locally? If I could do that, I could re-run the match without having to destroy my local metadata like playcounts and things like that.

I've noticed that if I simply Store/update iTunes Match from within iTunes and then view the album on my iPhone, the "updating circle symbol" in the top left where the wi-fi symbol is will start to spin. It takes a bit, 30 seconds to a minute, but eventually my album art will appear.

ITunes Match streaming question?

I'm thinking about purchasing an itunesmatch subscription, but I have one question.
I want to play songs on my iPhone, but I don't want any physical data to be stored on my phone. There is very little space on my 16 GB iPhone 4S. When streaming songs, do I have to download them? I have seen many debates over this issue.
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi,
itunes is looking for the link to your library that is on your external hard drive. This is the reason for your issues.
I suggest that you create a new itunes library for use whilst the external drive is not attached. Close iTunes then hold option key whilst reopening iTunes. Select craete new library, then turn on match, select add this computer. Once process is complete you will see you music that is in the cloud and you will be able to stream your music.
When your ext drive is attached, hold option key when opening iTunes, select the original library.

ITunes Match and Family Share

Recently I organized a Family Share account and yesterday my husband's iTunes Match renewed, am I going to get a $24.99 charge when each family member's iTunes Match is due for renewal?

I am interested in signing up for iTunes match, but only if I can share the music media with my wife. I understand that if she signs in with my apple account she would have access to all the content, but I don't want to do that.
If I start using the family share option, will my content from iTunes match also be available to her or just the purchases made through apple?
Mhollenbeck,
Family Sharing enables sharing of content purchased from the iTunes Store. It does not enable general sharing of all the content in your library:
When you join a family, you'll be asked to confirm the Apple ID that you regularly use.... Purchases from this account will be shared with your family members.
It sounds like Home Sharing would meet your needs better. Read here and decide:

Questions about iTunes Match before subscribing

I'm thinking about signing up for iTunes Match so that I can access my music on my Apple TV without my MacBook Pro being on. I have 1,575 songs in my library and 1,275 of the are purchased from the iTunes store. Will iTunes, match all the songs inlcuding the ones I purchased or the 300 that I ripped off a CD? Also since the songs will be matched that means I can download them from any device right? Will I also be able to delete the orginial files off my computer and then download the ones that were matched? My last question is after one year and I don't re-subscribe will I still be able to keep the matched songs? Someone please help me with these questions so that I can subrscribe as soon as possible. Thank you

A search of the forum would have turned up these answers for you.
Most songs that you have purchased from the iTunes store will be identified as "purchased." Only songs that are imported into iTunes from other sources such as CD or Amazon's service are eligible to be "matched" or "uploaded." Any imported songs that are not "matched" will be "uploaded." But do not expect 100% accuracy at any rate. When you download "purchased" songs to your library, or another computer, or an iDevice you are getting the same song you already have. When you download "matched" songs you are getting the version from the iTunes store, and "uploaded" songs are obviously the same songs that are already in your iTunes library.
For imported songs that are "matched" that you might download they are yours to keep. If you choose not to renew your iTunes Match subscription nothing at all will happen to the songs that you downloaded from the store.
However, if your primary purpose is to upgraded existing music you might be disappointed in the results.

General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

Hello to everyone,
I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

ITunes match question (manual sync and iTunes library)

Hi all
Just noticed that iTunes match is now avaliable in Denmark, and therefore I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for elsewhere.
My situation is that I have all my music on a NAS (and on at USB backup drive). Some of the music is in 128 AAC and is 320 mp3.
On my macbook pro I have all of my music converted til 128 AAC so I can fit all of my music on my iPhone (10000 songs). All my music on my iPhone is manage manually through iTunes. I normally 1) add it to itunes, 2) transfer it to iphone and 3) remove the music again from my iTunes library. I mostly just have an empty iTunes library (since i play music from my iPhone and my Sonos system) and just use iTunes for ripping CDs and editing of tags.
Since my iPhone is running out of space, I thought it would be a good idea to have some of my music i iCloud (iTunes match). From what I've read it is not possible to have both music transfered manually from iTunes to my iPhone and at the same time accessing music from Itunes match? What I really would like is to have 20 GB on my iPhone with the rest avaliable through iTunes match (20 GB) for when I need it. Is this possible?
My second and most important question is about the itunes library. What happens if I connect to iTunes macth and afterwards remove all my music from my itunes library? As I just explained I prefer my itunes library to be empty unless i want to transfer music to my iPhone.
Hope you can help me with some answers?
Thánk You.

That info has not been released yet but to venture a guess, I doubt any extraneous info such as comments will be used.
Also, iTunes Match will not use your tags to identify songs. Some algorithm will analyze the audio file to match.
