ITunes Match Songs Keep Starting Over

I've been using iTunes Match since it first released and absolutely love it! However, I've been experiencing a strange thing the last couple of months and it's happening more frequently. I haven't changed any settings or anything - it's an issue that just started out of the blue.
I keep all my music in the cloud and stream it on my iMac. Particularly my playlists. Sometimes, right in the middle of playing a song, it will stop the music and put the song back at the beginning. Out of nowhere! All of a sudden the song will stop, I look at iTunes, and the play marker will be at the beginning of the song, and it's stopped. One particular song I couldn't even get through it because it kept stopping it and I had to start the song over and over until I just skipped it. I thought with the new Yosemite the issue might be fixed, but it's continued from the previous version into this new OS. I've never had that problem before songs in the cloud or playlists in the cloud, but this has happened a number of times over the last few months.
My internet connection is great (50mb download) and it's not cutting in and out. I thought that might be the issue because the songs in the cloud will just stop, as if the internet cut off the song, and then iTunes will put the marker at the beginning.
Any thoughts?
Hardware: iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012)
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB
OS: OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
ITunes: 12.0.1.26

I have the same problem. It seems once a movie or tv show has a problem, it will never "complete" the download. It gets all the way to the end and then inexplicably starts over. Sometimes it says "processing" and then starts over. Frankly, I find there are more quirks with the iPad than my Android tablet. Just saying. Amazon's system, cloud player, and movie rentals blow iTunes out of the water.

  • How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

    How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
    I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded.  I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
    What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
    You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
    I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
    I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
    Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
    Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
    If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
    Hope that clarifies a bit.

  • I joined itunes match. I had over 1,000 songs.  Now I have 298.  Where did they go?

    You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
    You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
    When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
    If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
    The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

  • ITunes Downloads Keep Starting Over

    Oftentimes, when a download of mine gets interrupted due to my unstable Internet connection, iTunes frequently chooses to start over completely instead of picking up where it left off. As a result, I'm forced to waste several gigabytes of Apple's bandwidth every week as I attempt to successfully complete my downloads. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • ITunes Match downloads very slow over LTE

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. When downloading iTunes Match songs to my phone it is very slow over LTE taking roughly 1 minute per megabyte. Over wifi it is a lot faster taking perhaps less than 20 seconds per track on average. All other data based activity is fast over LTE so the issue does seem to be limited to iTunes Match downloads and is the same whether my music was matched or uploaded to to icloud.
    Any fixes/suggestions much appreciated. I have a brand new handset and restored my phone yesterday. I'm on the EE network in London.
    Thank you

  • 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.

  • 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.)

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

    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:
