ITunes Match says already associated

I subscribed to Match in November, it was working perfectly up until a few weeks ago. I tried using it, but it keeps saying the computer is associated with another Apple ID. I am the only one in the house that uses the Match feature and was completely befuddled. Then I switched to my daughter's iTunes and for some reason it was attached to her ID.
I have always been the primary user of the iTunes, how did this happen and do I really have to wait 70 days to be able to access it? That is absolutely ridiculous. What if you change your email address, thereby changing your Apple ID? This doesn't seem like a well thought out thing.

You say you're the only user of the computer, but iTunes was signed into your daughter's store account ID? How did that happen? What iTunes Store ID did you use to purchase iTunes Match?
At any rate, you do have to wait the 70 days to switch iTunes Store accounts. This is a limitation of the service.
BTW, changing your email address does not change your Apple ID/

ITunes Match says I am not subscribed.

iTunes Match says I am not subscribed when I try to enable my iPad and wifes's new iPhone 4s. My new iPhone 4s works perfectly with iTunes Match. All these devices share the same iCloud account. What gives? I AM subscribed!

HI brabauer,
This issue can sometimes happen when you leave a field blank on the order form. Also, make sure that you're logged in to the Adobe store in the same country as your you credit card mailing address. (You can check by clicking Change Location in the lower-left corner of the adobe.com website.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

ITunes Match says "Matching your music with songs from iTunes store".

iTunes Match says "Matching your music with songs from iTunes store". This will not finish. I cannot put any new songs on iTunes Match. This started today. It was working fine. I have deleted my entire library and I can't even get one song to go through. Thoughts? I've been working with this all day. I have uninstalled iTunes, downgraded iTunes, upgraded iTunes again. Finally, I erased all data...Libraries...playlist data, etc.. I'm extremely frustrated now. I had synced about 4,000 songs since September and it had been working fine. Any help would be great.

I think your right that it is not completely impossible to match any song, although I have tried several songs from several different albums and none have worked so far. The weird thing is is that I have the same Match account on two different computers, and when I match a song on one and it gets stuck, I can see it in my library on the other computer but its greyed out. Not sure what that means. It has worked perfeclty for me since I got it in March, so I'm hoping whatever it is gets sorted out by Apple. If it starts working for any of you please let me know in this discussion!

<Edited By Host>

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to change the title of your post as it appears to include the card number.
You've tried logging out and back into your account to see if the amount from it has been added to your account ? If it isn't then was the card complete when you bought it i.e. the part that you scratch off to uncover the code was still on the card ? If it was, and you've double-checked that you are entering the correct code, then try contacting iTunes Support (they might want images of the card and the receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

HT5085 i am unable to get itunes match on my lap top although i can get it on my ipad itunes match has already been purchased

hi i am unable to get itunes match on my laptop but is ok on my ipad this has already been purchased from apple

There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

Can't access iTunes Match - says "expired"

Yesterday I received the below email from iTunes Match, basically telling me there was a "problem" that prevented automatic renewal of my iTunes Match account. Since I have 6000+ cut up there, this concerned me. I went to my iTunes account page and re-entered my card information - as far as I know there is nothing wrong with the card ... we use it all the time. Here's the bvogus email:
Dear MICHAEL,
There was a problem with your payment type that prevented the automatic renewal of your subscription to iTunes Match. To renew your subscription and to regain the ability to store your entire music collection on iCloud and enjoy it on your iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV, you will need to update your payment information. iTunes Match stores not only your songs purchased on the iTunes Store, but all of the other great music you have acquired over the years, including music from CDs.
To update your payment information or manage your subscription, sign in to iTunes on your computer and go to your Account Information page. Your matched and uploaded tracks will be removed from iCloud in 90 days, so renew your subscription now and keep all of your music in the cloud so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere.
Regards,
The iTunes Store team
So, I try listening to some music today and all the iTunbes app on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) does is spin around from one song title to another. Tonight I get a new email from iTunes Match that says the following:
Dear MICHAEL,
Store all your music in the cloud and listen to it anytime, anywhere.
Renew your iTunes Match subscription so you can continue to enjoy your entire music collection in iCloud on your iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV. iTunes Match stores not only your songs purchased on the iTunes Store, but all of the other great music you have acquired over the years, including music from CDs.
Your subscription for iTunes Match expired on 11/16/12. Your complete music collection and playlists in iCloud are no longer available from your iOS devices, iTunes, or Apple TV. You will still be able to download from iCloud any music you previously purchased on iTunes from the Purchased area of the iTunes Store. You can also sync your music to your iOS devices using iTunes for Mac+PC. To renew your subscription now, open iTunes on your Mac or PC and choose Turn on iTunes Match from the Store menu.
Regards,
The iTunes Store team
Now what do I do? There's nothing wrong with my card and iTunes says I'll lose all the songs I ripped from my CD collection if I don't pay up? HOW?? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO??
Thank god I had the foresight to pay Amazon for space and everything I uploaded to iTunes is also over there in Amazon's cloud service. At least THEY seem to know how to run a cloud service. Seems like ever since Steve passed it's just one thing after another with these clowns.
Please help!

Just got this -
Dear iTunes Customer,
You recently received an email informing you that your iTunes Match Subscription could not be auto-renewed. We have resolved the problem and your iTunes Match Subscription has been renewed.
We apologize for the delay with your auto-renewal. If you have any questions, please contact AppleCare at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
I hope everyone else is all set too.

HT204406 iTunes Match saying I'm limited to 5 devices...but I don't have 5 devices and won't work on my MacBook Pro. Please Help!

I've just got a new MacBook Pro, and want to have iTunes Match on it. But when I go to 'add this computer' in iTunes on the MacBook, a message comes up saying I've reached my limit of Match being on 5 devices. This makes no sense because I only have match on my iPad and my old Windows laptop and nothing else.
Out of curiosity, I turned off iTunes Match on my iPad to see what would happen, but I still cannot get Match on my MacBook Pro.
Please help!

Do a backup before proceeding.
Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

ITunes Match says loading but then screen goes black and nothing happens

I've just subscribed to iTunes Match so I can have my music on my new iPad mini and I got my housemate to switch it on in the iTunes on the computer at home with all the music on (I'm away for work) and when I enable iTunes Match and open music it says loading iTunes Match and then just goes to a black screen with a white bar at the bottom and nothing loads, why isn't it work? do I need to do something in my main iTunes I was hoping it would just work with my Apple ID as I am away for work for 3 months and want my music now!
Thanks!

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

Itunes match. says error 4010

I have been trying to get my itunes match to work for a really long time. there was a time that it was on and then i got a window saying to long out and then log back in. after I logged back in, I have been getting the error 4010. and that it cannot connect to store.

Yes, but does it work the next time you add to your library?
If I do all the steps (sign in, turn off, sign out, reset, sign out, quit, open, shake, repeat) I can sometimes get iTunes Match to work ONCE, I think. But then it fails with some random error message (4001, 4002, 4010, 3132, etc) the next time it runs. It basically makes it useless, and sometimes it seems to screw up iTunes as well, with things I've bought downloading a second time, or the program hanging.
This need to work. Why hasn't Apple addressed this problem? It's obvious a lot of people are having it.

ITunes Match says music was matched, but it's not visible on iOS devices

I have a library of 16,000+ songs in iTunes. I understand some of my music won't be available, but what's puzzling me is this:
- iTunes Match (the iCloud icon) indicates a song/album was MATCHED (in this case, Opeth's "Blackwater Park" and Amon Amarth's "Versus the World").
- In the Music app on my iPhone 4S, other songs/albums by those artists are available for download, and I have successfully downloaded them. However, those albums are not visible to download.
- "Show All Music" is enabled under Settings -> Music.
So, as the title says, iTunes on both computers have iTunes Match enabled, and both say those albums are "Matched", but they're not visible as available for download on my iPhone 4S.
Any ideas?

Actually, the cloud icon next to a song in your library means iTunes is "waiting" for a result for the song. To find out what the actual status of the song is you should turn on the iCloud Status column in the iTunes Browser. Pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status." You'll see one of several statuses next to the song. The most common will be "purchased," "matched," "uploaded," "waiting." If the songs you have questions about have an cloud icon next to them in the iCloud Download column then the status will probably be "waiting" which means the matching process is not complete yet. When a song is "matched" it will not have a cloud icon next to it.
When you click the iTunes Match entry in the left-hand column what do you see?

Itunes match says songs are all uploaded but can't access them on iPhone

I signed up for itunes match last weekend, and went through the long process of matching and uploading songs. It finally finished today, specifically saying that my library is available in the cloud. But I can't access any of my library on my iPhone, even with itunes match turned on. Since itunes match is fairly new I haven't come across anything that would help. If someone out there could help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

OK, anything that says "ineligible" or "error" is NOT in the cloud. Itunes match may have told you that the matching process was complete, but all it was telling you was that the SESSION was complete. Only items with a "matched" or "uploaded" icon next to them are in the cloud. So this is your real problem. Your iPhone is telling you the truth.
It's clear you have some reading to do, followed by some work to on your iTunes library, but all is not lost. you can make copies of most ineligible songs within iTunes, re-run Match and get the eligible copies into the cloud. I could walk you through it, but Apple's been good enough to provide support documents, which I'll link you to at the bottom of this message.
The most important thing you need to do first, is to figure out what kind of files you have that are ineligible. Keep in mind that iTunes Match only accepts music, not audiobooks, not music videos (except those purchased through the iTunes store), so some things in your iTunes library aren't going to work no matter what. If you have any Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected tracks, those will work, provided the computer you are using for iTunes Match is authorized to play them. Usually the tracks that people find are ineligible are low bitrate MP3s - songs they didn't purchase through iTunes. Some other music file types also are ineligible.
In both cases, the solution is to highlight those songs, go to the Advanced menu in iTUnes and select "Make AAC version." What I do is let it make the copies, then without clicking anywhere in iTunes I hit the delete key. This will delete the originals, but leave the new copies. You can opt to just have them removed from your library, so they simply will no longer show up in iTunes (preferable until you are sure the copies are ok))
That's the short story. Here's a link to the support documents.

HT204406 iTunes Match Says I'm over 25000 Songs (But I'm NOT!)

I'm having a pretty large and frustrating problem with iTunes Match over these past couple days. I recently did a bunch of replacing of lower res MP3s with Apple Lossless versions of said songs. All of the songs I've upgraded were in the cloud and I both deleted them from my iMac, and checked the box to delete them from the cloud before importing the AL versions and (expecting) them to be easily brought into the cloud in turn.
But something's wrong. My main machine only lists 24812 songs... but I get that **** message telling me I'm over 25000. I've been over 25000 before, and know what it's like to have to cut music out of my library to bring things back down to size. But this is NOT what's happening now.
Further, I'm able to check my Match songs on another Mac linked to this account. That computer has nothing on the physical hard drive, and indicates only 24402 songs in the cloud.
So now what? This service is beyond frustrating with the 25000 song limit as it is... but it's particularly galling to not be at that point, yet told I am while no clear way of resolving the problem is presented.
I've tried signing out, signing back in... restarting everything... signing out of Genius and back in... out of Match and back in... it feels hopeless.
Anyone have any ideas? I really need to fix this ASAP.
Much appreciated!

In case helpful, I just had exactly the same problem. I tracked down the cause for me, which was as follows:
I turned off iTunes Match
I then imported some CDs.
This would have put me over 25000 songs so I proceeded to delete some other CDs in my library
I then turned on iTunes Match (I should have done so before step 20.
This now meant I had say 24500 + 600 songs - 700 different songs - Match saw this as 24500 + 600 with 700 songs in the Cloud too (I hadn't deleted them from Match yet). So I was now over 25000 songs
Hopefully that makes sense.
My solution has been to delete the newly uploaded songs, turn on iTunes Match, delete the 700 songs from both my Match and local accounts I no longer wanted, re-add the 600 new songs. So I will end up at 24400 rather than 24500 songs.
Hopefully this may help you.

TS3297 Itunes match Says unable to process credit card at this time

This is the message I am receieving when I try to purchase an Itunes Match Subscription
The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time.
Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later.

I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
2. confirming this on my account page - which then said Add (or Set up, I can't remember) a Credit Card
3. on the Add a credit card page, I again set up the exact same PayPal account I had before.
4. I was then taken to the PayPal website to confirm that I wanted to use my PayPal account for iTunes purchases, and finally
5. I was taken back to my account page in iTunes, which looked exactly the same as before BUT...
The next time I tried it, my purchase went straight through! (And this was less than 5 minutes after I'd had the "Credit Card processing is temporarily unavailable" message.)
YMMV, but I guess a similar revalidation process would work for credit cards too.
