ITunes Match song download error on iPhone

All songs matched or uploaded sucessfully.
I've tried to download just 1 playlist after enabling match on my iPhone 4, but 3 songs are stuck in download queue in iTunes (phone).
They say 'download error, tap to try again'
When I tap the progress bar shoots up really fast then at processing they fail.
Anyone any ideas?

The only way that worked for me was deleting the songs in iTunes (both iCloud and Mac while keeping the files). Then updating iTunes Match. Next, drag and drop the album back to iTunes and update Match.
Next, on iPhone, the only way that worked to download them is to actually playback each song in the album NOT "download all" button or even individual download button. If I use the buttons, it downloads part of the song then I get the error message or it stops midway and you can't delete the song from the download queue. Again, the only way that worked for my iPhone was to playback each song without skipping any of them and they easily downloaded on my phone. Hope this helps
PS: The check downloads on iTunes did nothing to me as it never showed the iOS queue items, only my undownloaded purchases from iTunes Store.

Undoing iTunes Match songs downloads on my iPhone?

I have over 48,000 songs in iTunes Match.
All of my songs showing on my iPad are in the iCloud. But some of my iTunes Match songs on my iPhone are downloaded onto my phone and I don't want them to be.
How do I reverse them into just being in the iCloud?

That approach works when I am loading new music.
I have found it doesn't work for music that has been loaded much earlier in time. For those songs, the swiping my finger to the left approach doesn't work.
I noticed recently that sometimes the songs that appear to be downloaded on my phone - that show no cloud by them - will subsequently show a cloud, which might mean that they actually aren't downloaded on my phone but something isn't working or efficient with iTunes Match.
Has anyone had that happen to them? Are some of my issues potentially due to the number of songs I have on iTunes Match?

Can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. iPhone, iPad work fine.

I can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. It gives an error stating that only one Apple ID can be used at a time with iTunes Match and asks me to wait 72 days until I can download any songs!? Tried to turn off iTunes Match in an attempt to reset it. And now I can't turn it back on. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm pretty sure the songs will need to be physically present on the computer you are syncing the Nano with, but I'm not 100% sure.
Edit: I just attempted to sync music that I have stored in the iCloud, but not written on my harddrive to an iPod Classic and it only syncs the music that is present on the computer. I tried to grab a few iCloud file and throw it on the iPod, but I had to download them before it would work.
So, yes. You do have to have the files already downloaded to sync to a non iOS 5 iDevice.

How do I transfer the iTunes Match songs downloaded on my computer to my iPhone?

I downloaded all of my songs from iTunes Match to my computer and was hoping to transfer them via USB to my iPhone. It appears that the only way to get them on my phone is to download them from the could though. Is there a way to transfer the songs to my iPhone via USB? Or do I have to download them (again) from the cloud?

I turned off iTunes Match on my phone and things seemed to work how I wanted. The songs that I downloaded on my computer just transferred over like normal.

Cannot download iTunes Match songs - Getting error (8364)

My iTunes completed the Match process.
Generally, I have two kinds of songs with a cloud icon:
Songs that I had previously purchased, but were currently not in my library in any form. (No MP3 or AAC version.)
If I click on the cloud icon, these songs download just fine.
Songs that I had previously purchased, but were in my library in another form. (Usually as an MP3 - I had converted it to MP3 or ripped it from somewhere.)
The MP3 version will show as "Matched" and I will have an iCloud version right below it that shows with a iCloud icon and it has a status of "Purchased". But when I click on the iCloud, I get "There was a problem downloading [Whatever the song title is] An unknown error occured (8364). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
If I try to click the same iCloud icon again, I get "There was a problem downloading [Whatever the song title is]. An unknown error occured (-50). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
I can immediately go an download a song that fits case 1 above and it works fine.
I tried deleting the MP3 versions from my library first, and that didn't do anything. I get the same error.
iTunes Match isn't going to be all that useful if all my iCloud music isn't going to be able to be downloaded.
I also tried turning iTunes Match off and on again, and I tried restarting the computer too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm encountering the same problem, and related issues. One Allan Parsons song I purchased ("Damned if I Do" from the Eve album) was listed twice after Match completed, with two different lengths and two albums listed. Prior to running iTunes Match I only had one copy of it, so something is very broken in Apple land.

ITunes Match auto-downloads on my iPhone 4?

I just subscribed to iTunes Match. Awesome. However, when I listen to a song on my iPhone, it automatically downloads that song to my device, instead of just keeping it "in the cloud."
How can I turn this off? I signed up so I wouldn't have to use the memory on my phone... I don't want songs on my iPhone if I want them from the cloud.

I am having this issue too on my iPhone 4. At first, when I selected a song via iTunes Match, it would play back but afterwards, the little arrow/cloud button would reappear. Now, when I select any song, it acts as if I selected the download button and now downloads to my phone- thus taking up space.

Some iTunes Match songs have errors

I'm matching my music collection to use it with others iDevices, and I just find out that some songs (like "Star Sail" from The Verve) have errors.
Have it ever happened to you?

You can delete a song off of your phone by swiping to the left on the songs title. A red delete button will show up and then press the delete button. After this you'll see a cloud icon that you can push to redowload the songs.
Also, have you tried hard resetting your device?
Sometimes that helps free things up that get glitched. I don't have the paticular answer to your problem because I have not experienced it yet. I know sometimes things take a minute to start to play but that is with match turned on and it is having to dowload the file.
If you turn match off on your device it takes a minute to take everything that was not dowloaded off your device too.
If you turn match off on your device sometimes the best thing to do is plug it into itunes on your computer and resync it with your computer.

ITunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.

According to this article Using iPhone on an airplane you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi.

Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone. The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone. Everything downloaded fine. At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone. I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there. The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing. I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song.
EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist. Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
THANKS

Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds.
I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect.
Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems.
Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now? It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore.
Please post if you have any solution or suggestions.
Thanks!
Pat

Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

Hi mrmoo13!
You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

ITunes Match weird glitches on my iPhone 5

Hello Community.
I'm having a weird problem with iTunes Match, pmart playlists, and songs downloaded to my iPhone. I have used smart playlist on both my Mac and iPhone for as long as I can remember and havent incountered any significant issues until now.
The smart playlist in question I've named Top Rated Music.
The rules are as follows:
-Match all of the following rules:
-Rating is *****
-Genre does not contain Country
-Limit to 150 items selected by most recently added.
-Match only checked items
-Live updating
Now this works perfectly fine on my iPad, and Mac. It has always worked on my iPhone prior to iOS 7. What happenes is the playlist works for a few days then stops randomly shuffles the music in no order and not matching the Playlist on my Mac. Random songs will also not appear on the playlist. The only thing I do differently is I download all of the songs on my iPhone in that specific playlist. The reason is that Mobile providers in Canada offer nothing close to an unlimited data plan. Easy to go over if your playing music from the cloud.
Thats where I think the problem lies, the iPhone seems to glitch after a couple days when the music has downloaded. It also seems weird because you cant delete the music off the phone once its been downloaded. I've tried both through iTunes on my Mac and manualy managing music, as well as on the phone itself song by song.
Things i've tried.
-Restoring phone (Works for a couple days then glitches up again)
-Replacing phone (Same as above)
-Deleting song using iTunes (Songs wont delete just reapear)
-Deleting songs using iPhone (Songs dont apear anymore, but show up using itunes mac)
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set to "use cellular data" to ON. Be aware this will use your mobile data allotment when streaming music.

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.

HT204406 iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4

i am having a problem with the iTunes match not loading on my iPhone 4, once in iTunes it just shows the iCloud logo, and does not load all my albums/song etc.

I'm guessing you mean the iTunes store.
What specificaly happens when you try to access the store? Any errors?
What do you mean by full factory reset? Does that mean a restore as new?
Are you able to access the store via Wi-Fi?
