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?

  • HT204406 itunes match playlists from imac not appearing on ios devices

    I've finally gotten my entire iTunes library onto iTunes Match.  (Be patient folks, it only took 4 weeks for my entire library to load!)
    However, the Playlists that I've created on my iMac are not appearing on any of my IOS devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.).
    Can anybody help me with what needs to be done on my iPhone and iPad to import my iTunes playlists from my iMac?
    Thanks in advance!

    The cause is likely to be a corruption of the iTunes library on the iPhone.  The neatest route is to reset the iPhone to factory condition.
    The alternate is to remove the iPhone library files and force it to rebuild them - this is a little more complex but has the upside that you do not need to recreate content on the iPhone, the steps needed are:
    1. Connect iPhone, open iExplorer (or equivalent)
    2. Navigate to iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control\iTunes
    3. Delete these 3 files:
              MediaLibrary.sqllitedb
              MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-shm
              MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-wal
    4. Hard reboot the iPhone (home button + sleep/wake button, hold until you see the apple logo)
    Hope that these will work for you - the simplest alternates is here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22457142#22457142

    Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV

    It isn't actually stored anywhere, it needs to be downloaded from the internet before any content can be played.
    iTunes Match content is accessed through the 'Music' icon on the main screen though, it needs turning on though in settings first.

  • I have purchased iTunes match but it does not connect to my iPhone.

    You must be signed into the iTunes Store on your iPhone using the same Apple ID with which your purchased the iTunes Match service.

  • I bought an audiobook on itunes on my PC and my itunes record says it was charged but I can't find in all of my libraries nor in the check available downloads? Please help.

    Your other music shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes, and in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone - if they do then are you signed in with the same account or is that album hidden (hiding and unhiding) ? Is the laptop the computer that you normally sync the phone to (e.g. could you sync it), and could you copy the album from the laptop to your Mac Mini e.g. via file sharing, a flash drive etc (copying music)

  • ITunes Match Genius Mixes won't work on iOS devices anymore

    Hi,
    I had the iTunes Match Genius Mixes running on my Apple TV and iPhone without any problems until yesterday. Since then the iPhone still shows the list of mixes, but no cover art of the contained songs nor does anything happen when I press the play button. On the Apple TV it says that I should first enable Genius in my iTunes on my Mac, but that has already happened.
    I tried signing out and in again from iTunes Match several times. The iTunes library load everywhere without problem and all songs are availble but no Genius or Genius Mixes. I also tried disabling iTunes Match on my Mac and turned it on again. Same result. All iOS device does not offer Genius or Genius Mixes anymore.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same issue as well. Tried same process of turning off and on match on all my devices, nothing works.
    I really miss my genius mixes, and considering I just purchased iTunes Match, this kind of stinks.

  • I attempted to download a previousy purchased app. It says it was installed but I can not find it on my iPad 2.

    How can I find an app, that was installed ?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and searched for it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? Also have you set an age rating limit via Settings > General > Restrictions which is hiding it ?
    Otherwise try a reset and see if it appears after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have just subscibed to itunes match, but seems to have only moved songs that I have purchased from itunes. Those songs have a cloud next to them and some have a cloud with an exclamation mark inserted, when u click on it to play it it now says can't fin

    I have just subscribed to icoud match but am having difficulties. It says it has moved all my songs to the cloud but the cloud symbol has seemed to only appear by the songs purchased from the itunes store only, (this is on the desktop where I originally setup my itunes account) and some of the cloud symbols have an exclamation mark in them, so if I attempt to play them now, it says it can't find it!!!. Also, the main purpose of this exercise was to create space on my iphone and ipad............so once I have succesfully uploaded all my songs to the cloud, do I then delete all my songs off my devices to ceate that space or does that happen automatically?

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • ITunes Match songs don't appear on other mobile devices

    Hi,
    I uploaded all my music on iTunes Match and there are a couple problems when I tried to play it on my iPhone or iPad.
    First, on my iPhone, some songs won't play even though I downloaded the whole playlist with all the songs on it. I would select the song I would like to play and it won't play that song but instead play a different song even though the title of the song I want to play still appears on the iPhone but the play bar doesn't move or play. The iTunes Match seems to cause this problem since if I turn it off and just copy the songs from my computer directly, it plays perfectly.
    Secondly, when I tried to find an album I uploaded on iTunes Match to download it to my iPad but somehow it's not upthere on the cloud or itunes Match for me to download to my iphone or iPad even though I uploaded it a week ago and showed in my computer as already uploaded.
    Both of these problems seem to steam from iTunes Match but I am not sure what the fixes for these are so if you guys can help, I would really appreciate that.
    Thanks,

    Here is how I fixed it.
    Open the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, and click Sign In.
    Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password.
    In the "iTunes in the Cloud" section, click Turn Off Auto-Renew to the right of iTunes Match.
    I canceled it because it is wasting to much of my time and energy. " everything just works on a MAC" haha hardly.

  • Songs not on my iOS device appear in iTunes

    I have no music synced to my iPhone or iPad, I just use iTunes Match. However, when I connect my iOS device to iTunes and select the "On this iPhone/iPad" tab, it shows a list of songs that are NOT on my phone. I don't download songs from iTunes match - I just stream it. In fact, the songs showing in this list have not been listening to in several months.
    I've already wiped my iOS device (I do this for every update and download the backup from iCloud) but these same songs still show up.
    Any ideas?

    Anyone?

    Figured it out.   Must sign out from Itunes and then back in and it works.
