ITunes Match showing different content on different devices

I have recently signed up for itunes match and have connected three devices as follows:
Windows 7 x64 PC running latest itunes 10.5.2.11
Apple ipad version 1 64gig 3G with iOS 5.01
iPhone 3GS 16gig with iOS 5.01
I have matched 4900+ songs from my PC iTunes library with iCloud. I have recently removed all my old music files and re-downloaded the iTunes *.m4a version of every matched song.
I also have uploaded 1000+ songs that were not matched. I have no errors at all... so PC iTunes software appear to be working okay.
My Ipad and iPhone have also been switched over to iTunes Match and I have therefore deleted all 'local' songs on both devices... I then switched on the 'SHOW ALL MUSIC' in the settings of the music app to show the icloud list... but it is different on both my ipad and iphone compared to the PC and compared to each other.
My PC has a total of 5992 music files either matched or uploaded to iCloud
My Ipad shows 5804 music files on icloud
My iPhone has 3632 music files on icloud
Loads of space is confirmed as being available on both devices
I have tried rebooting both ipad and iphone I have switched off/on 'SHOW ALL FILES' in settings to reveal that there are no songs on either the iPad or iPhone so only seeing view of songs on iCloud.
I have turned off/on icloud on both devices and still same file totals.
I have even updated itunes match several times from my PC via itunes store menu.
I have switch on/off itunes Match on my PC... I have even backed up my library deleted all the music both locally and on Icloud and then re-imported and rematched/uploaded all the files again without any errors but both my iPad and iPhone fail to see all files on the icloud.
I have even waited quite some hours to see if they eventually will update but no luck.
I have submitted feedback to apple as a bug report, but if anyone has any suggestions that I can try in the meantime to fix this 'out of sync' issue.
Also on the PC in itunes preferences. I have reset cache and sync history in iTunes but still no joy - it appears that the iphone and ipad are not receiving the current version of my icloud content?

Same problem here. I dont find all songs back on my iphone although i have activated all required items in itunes and on the iphone.
I got a rather big library (16k songs), not everything matched BUT for example i only see Artist starting with "A"... all the other ones are not on my iphone.. very strange.
- Same story under my songs.
- All my playlist on the other hand are shown..
So it would be nice to find out what to do about this...

  • HT4914 My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

    My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

    Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
    Quitting iTunes.
    Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
    Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
    Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
    So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
    Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

  • Can I use iTunes Match for 2 iPhones with different music, same account?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone and share an iTunes account.  We share a master music library but each manually manage our music on our iPhones.  So she has certain songs on her phone and I have different ones on mine, both coming from the same master library.  I'm trying to figure out if I can use iTunes Match in this scenario.  I don't want to see her songs on my iPhone.  Is there a way to only see music on my iPhone if I use Match or am I stuck seeing my entire library on my iPhone?

    I think I'm getting it finally, thanks for the clarification.  So at least I know there is a way to not see all music in my library from my iPhone. 
    So in my case i have about 800 songs on my iPhone out of about 1600 on my iTunes library.  If I'm understanding correctly I would have to enable Match on my iPhone, then turn off the "show all music" option.  This in turn should leave me with my original 800 songs listed which I woud then have to download from the cloud.  Once I have all of my 800 songs back down from the cloud I won't be required to download them again from that phone. 
    A worse scenario would be that I enable Match, and then have to find my 800 songs out of the total 1600 manually from the list and then download them from the cloud.
    Which scenario is correct?

  • ITunes Match and iCloud accounts are different.

    I bought my mom this iPad Air 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to get it so that she can have access to my iTunes Match account. I made the account on my AppleID so I can control the library for them. When I first set up her iPad, all her pictures and stuff were there. Then I changed the settings so that she could access the iTunes Match account, it still is using her AppleID for her iCloud but now it's my AppleID in the iTunes for the iTunes Match access and her pictures are no showing up anymore.
    I'm SURE there has to be a way for iTunes Match to use my ID for that and still load all her pictures from her AppleID from her phone... right?
    I should clarify, on my AppleID I don't have any apps, nor do I have an Apple product, I only signed up for an AppleID so that I could use it to get iTunes Match and control the playlists for them and everything. So she's logged in to her AppleID for iCloud and logged into my AppleID for the iTunes Match account. The pictures are all gone now though.

    It stays on your phone until you delete it.  If you download a song, album or artist, you can delete them by swiping across the title and tapping delete.  If you play a song without downloading it, it is stored in cache memory on your phone.  As you phone starts to reach full capacity, older and less frequently played songs begin to automatically be deleted from cache.  Or, to remove them all, occasionally go to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

  • Why does my iTunes library show up to be different sizes?

    I have about 2600 songs in my iTunes library. At the bottom of the iTunes library window, it says there are 2600 songs, 13.03gb. All of these songs fit on my 16gb iTouch.
    Now, when i go to finder>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music the folder is 114gb!
    WHY IS THIS SOOOO MUCH LARGER?
    It's the same contents that are in my iTunes library!

    Selecting Music in iTunes will show only your music.
    Selecting Music>iTunes>iTunes Music in the Finder shows everything in iTunes including music, movies, audiobooks, podcasts,TV Shows, etc.
    Go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>Music and this is only the music files.

  • Interested in subscribing to iTunes Match but concerned about number of devices

    My family and I all share 1 iTunes library. All purchases are made using the same AppleID account. We currently have 17 apple devices and will most likely be adding more with Xmas coming up next month. We are interested in subscribing to iTunes Match. Can / How do we use iTunes Match across all these devices? I would guess that there are many family's out there like mine where each person has an iPhone, computer & iPad. Limiting iTunes Match to 10 devices will not work, especially if you have a large family. Hopefully I'm not understanding it correctly and someone is able to assist.
    Thank you.

    This is in facto, too dificult.... Surely I am missing somethin...

    " Authorizing and deauthorizing a computer allows you to manage which computers can sync or use apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, or other content you've purchased from the iTunes Store.
    You can use or sync your purchases from the iTunes Store on up to five different computers (these can be any mix of Macintosh or Windows-compatible computers). When you sync or play an item you've purchased, your computer is "authorized" for purchase using your Apple ID."
    OK
    Then.....

    "vWhen you subscribe to or enable iTunes Match, your device or computer will be associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. For more information about associating devices and computers to an Apple ID, see this article. "
    And "see this article" here link directs us to:
    "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. "
    What is then the "truth"? When I try to add another computer it seems (previous post) that the first is true (I only have 7 devices associated with my Apple ID). Not the second.

  • ITunes 11 showing incorrect content and playlists for my iPhone 4S

    I have iTunes 11.0.1.12 for Windows. I have an iPhone 4S 64GB running iOS 6.1. I have been in the process of upgrading songs with iTunes Match but have not yet linked my iPhone 4S to iTunes Match. I have different playlists on the iTunes library to those on the iPhone. I have 14165 tunes in the library, but only 6729 on the iPhone. When I connect iPhone to iTunes on the computer, iTunes displays that I have 7393 tunes on the iPhone, and an incorrect list of playlists. I have a feeling this data is from some previous sync point. How do I get it to display the correct content?

    Same problem after getting OS7 and iTunes 11.1

  • Where do I find my iTunes match unpurchased cloud content on iphone

    I see all of my iTunes match content, purchased and ripped and unsynched, on my ipad in the cloud but I don't know what menu location there is to find the same content on my iPhone.  I only see my purchased content and my synched content.  I do not see my unsynched ripped content that is in the cloud.  Thus my iPad shows over 5000 songs but my iPhone only shows about 2600 songs at the menus I am looking at.  Is there another menu on iPhone?

    I figured it out.  You need to turn on iTunes match under settings for iTunes on the iPhone, as well as the setting called Show All Music.  Then, you just have to be patient and wait a bit before the device eventually gets up to date.

  • ITunes Match Deletes all Music from all devices

    My wife purchased and turned on iTunes match last night.  She did this through her iPad and then turned iTunes match on on her HP Laptop.  All of her music is now gone on all her devices.  She had aprox 500 songs on her iPad which are now gone.  Is there a way to restore music from an iPhone or iPad back up?  Is there a way to recover the music from the cloud or another source.  Maybe if I understand how the music was erased I can find it?.  Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    You can't, it's a fact. If one tries to enable iTunes Match on an IOS device before subscribing on the computer you will get a message alerting you to 'conect to iTunes on your computer'.
    You subscribe via computer and then wait for it to match your entire library. Once everything is matched/uploaded it will be available in the cloud and to your other devices.
    Now if she subscribed on the computer, had music on her iPad that wasn't synced, and then enabled iTunes match that's different. That would be the users responsibility though.

  • Why does itunes match work on some of my devices and not others

    I have a Iphone 4, Iphone, Ipad 2, and a new Ipad.  recently i purchased itunes match and everything seems to work fine... then the new ipad lost all music.  all other devices are working properly.  it shows the music, but all tracks are 0:00 and cannot do anything with it.

    Sounds like a simple local file corruption.  Would suggest re-installation of the application.

  • ITunes match for a large number of devices, 4 people, and as a backup solution.

    I am interested in using iTunes match for two central reasons:
    1.  Backing up my music library.  Is iTunes Match an solution for this?  Or not really?  I get the fact that my purchases are protected, but what about the music I uploaded from purchased CD's. 
    Question:  Can I consider iTunes Match at $24.99/year the cost of backing up 60GB of music to the cloud?
    2.  Sharing my music library across a number of devices.  We are a family of 4 with farily extensive MAC, iPhone, iPad usage, including ...
    1 iMac (Music server), 3 Power books (Indivudal work machines), 2 iPads, Apple TV,  and 4 iPhones.  We have 4 Mobile me accounts, moving to ICloud.
    The problem I have is that I can never effectively coordinate the music library across the devices.  80GB of iTunes library is too much to load across all the devices and I never seem to have the song I'm looking for at the time I desire it on a particular device, other then the family iMAC server which has the whole library on it.
    Question:  Seems like iTunes Match is an ideal solution, but can it handle the diverse spectrum and number of devices I have?  Ideally I want to thnk of iTunes Matchas, 1 central library avaialble on all devices, all the time.
    Thank you in advance for any opinions.

    Think of iTunes Match as a central library from which "satellite" libraries can pull any time they have an Internet connection.
    Functionally, if all those devices are in your house, iTunes Match doesn't give you much that Home Sharing doesn't already offer.  With Home Sharing all your Macs can easily "fill in the gaps" from the "master" library.  Of course, that requires that the machine with the "master" library is always online and iTunes is always running on it, which might not be the case.  AppleTVs and iPads sync to that "master" library and so what is on them is configured from the master library computer, not the device itself.
    What iTunes Match offers you is:
    1.  Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you don't have to have a home server up and running iTunes at all times.
    2.  Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you can update from it any time you have an internet connection, not just when you are at home.
    3.  The workflow for updating from the canonical library is much better than the clunky "Home Sharing" interface.
    4.  Any "matched" songs (I found that in my library only about 65% were successfully matched; I'm not sure why) will be available at 256kbps AAC, which might be higher quality than what you have in your library currently (especially if you have imperfections like CD skipping, etc, in the tracks).  Of course, anything iTunes can't match to its own library will remain just as imperfect as ever.
    The downside (versus Home Sharing) is:
    1.  Everything needs to get copied onto a device from the Internet, which is likely to take much longer than just Home Sharing over your home wireless network.
    Seems like a pretty good system.  I've signed up for it and am happy with what I've seen so far.

  • Using iTunes Match, Show All Music not working for one playlist

    I am using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2. I just recently subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music has been matched/uploaded.
    When I turn on iTunes Match and Show All Music on my iPhone, all of my playlists show up but one of them is incomplete, and doesn't have an option to download the missing songs from the cloud.
    So, for example, I have a playlist that on my Mac has 696 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, and they all appear as either already on my phone or downloadable. Most of the other playlists are the same: working as expected. But I also have a playlist that on my Mac has 58 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, but only nine of them appear on my phone (they were already there), and none of the remaining 49 are showing as available to download from the cloud.
    Is it possible to fix this? I've had bad luck in the past deleting playlists on the phone with the goal of having them refresh during the next sync. (The bad luck involved my playlists being deleted in iTunes on my Mac after the sync.)

    Hi Michael,
    thanks for this, this helped me out as I just had the same issue but on my iPad lol.
    Forgot about that setting even though I knew about it, just goes to show, out of sight, out of mind.
    Regards,

  • ITunes match storage full error on I devices

    If I have iTunes match enabled on i devices it comes up with the message saying say storage is full. I haven't downloaded any songs at all I just stream it. I have never had this issue before until it was time to renew iTunes Match

    When you 'stream' music from the cloud it will cache the song on your device (i.e take up storage space).  To clear this cache go to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Music then swipe right to left on 'All Music' and select delete.  The space will be cleared.
    I would have thought though that the system would clear the cache if more space to 'stream' a song is needed.
