ITunes Match - start over and over

Every time I upgrade iTunes I lost my iTunes Match. It says that there was an error in iTunes Match, log out and log back in. When I log back in, I am invited to start iTunes Match and it goes through the whole process again of gathering information, matching the songs, etc. etc. This is clearly wrong.

Hi Jim, thanks for the response. In answer to your questions,
- I do not sign out of Match prior to closing iTunes
- The Match process seems to be ongoing at intervals throughout the given day and while it's not in the "background" as I wish it was, I try not to pay attention to what it's doing. Therefore I would need to guess that there are many, many times I close iTunes when the "current" Match process is underway and not complete.
- Yes, thanks for asking about the "Waiting" tracks. Yes, there are many and they remain as "Waiting" even after Match tells me its work here is through.
- My internet connection varies, currently 7.59 down / 22.81 up.

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.)

HT1725 Everytime I plug my phone into to sync, Itunes starts downloading the same rented movie over and over. I go in and delte it from my library but it does it again. How can I stop this from happening?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

ITunes asking for Password over and over, wont open, won't quit

Hi All... My MAC is Driving me mad, please help!!!!
I'm pretty sure this is a Cookie problem from some of the other threads I've found and because it started shortly after insaling "Safari Cookie" - which I have now removed.
Senario is;
If I dare to open iTunes 10.6 (latest one) it will open ok then ask for my Apple ID and PW which I enter again and again and again... sometime with a Remember box (which I tick) and sometimes not.
I have persisted with this wondering whether it will have an end when maybe all of my DL songs are individualy recognised perhaps, but after pasting it in well over 100 times I gave up. I've also tried Cancelling the request but it just keeps asking me over and over untill it crashes.
On one thread I saw that it could be because the something in the way iTune Store's PW are formated/storeage/processed has changed and I should go to to the iTunes store and reset my PW, but if I attempt to open the iTunes Store iTunes crashes - evertime so I can't do it. I did manage to reset it by clicking Forgot PW but after changing it no it made diference.
Inscidentally, when it does crash, it reopens whether I click "reopen" or not. If I quit, it reopens, if I fource close, it reopens. To reboot I have to Restart, Force Close, Force Close Force Close untill the Restart App gets to close when Itunes is in it's DownTime of the loop.
Just thought of something odd too.... after doing the PW change online, I tried entering the new one (over and over for a while) and then looked at the keychain and it still contained the old PW.
I've tried reinsalling iTunes, deleting all cookies and the Keychain PW (not the certificate as I'm worried I'll loose my perchased stuff?). Changing PW in Apple.com, changing Cookie settings in Safari to "accept all", used Onyx to repair boot and done all the automated maintainance/cleaning/permissions.
I can't think of any other useful info... but ask anything you need to know and please help if think you can!!
Thanks
James

I have a iphone 3GS and it just started doing this. When I play my play list, it will keep repeating the same some over and over. I have to click the next song and it plays it over and over. It doesn't go through albums or song lists. How can I stop that?

When I try to play albums or artists or any other catagories on my itunes library my iphone 3GS will only repeat the first song over and over and will not go on to the other songs. This just started. It won't random or play through the whole album or artist. How can I remedy this problem?

Turn off repeat

How do I stop my itunes sticking on the first track and playing it over and over?

my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum

It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive. You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

I am trying to update my iPhone 4 with the jailbreak in it. And why I updated it, it was fine at first. Then it started to turn off and turn on over and over again. What do I do? Is this normal?

When jailbroken, you cannot update the iOS on your device. The only way to fix it is to do a full restore through iTunes. Before you do this make sure you backup your device and everything on it.

I can browse the web but when I go to play video or you tube it will start stop over and over almost like it is buffering could this be the router all other non iPad devices work

How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!!

Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.

Your phone is toast. Contrary to what the lovely folks in the jalibreaking community say, attempting to restore the iPhone to "factory" condition does not always remove the jailbreak. You'll need to contact those bozos and see if they can help you.
Hint: start saving for a new phone.

ITunes adding another copy "Someone Like You" by Adele over and over and over.... literally every 10 seconds

I recently bought a used Mac Mini which has a fresh copy of Mountain Lion 10.7.5 installed on it which includes iTunes 10.7
Since my time machine backup of my now dead iMac (very 1st Intel iMac) has far more data on it (the iMac has a 250 GB internal HD and my "new" Mac Mini only has a 160 GB. internal HD) So I did a minimum transfer of my user data using Migration Assistant from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac.
I manually copied the songs from the iTunes folder from the back up drive to the iTunes Media folder on the new Mac Mini
Everything seemed fine until started seeing iTunes adding another copy "Someone Like You" by Adele over and over and over.... literally every 10 seconds, as long as iTunes is open and running, this song just keeps adding another copy. The program has been open again for a few minutes and there are now over 100 copies of this song in the iTunes window! I've never seen anything like this.
I've selected the songs deleted them from itunes "MUSIC" window in the program and it just keeps replicating the song.
I turned off in "ADVANCED PREFERENCES, "Keep iTunes Media folder organized and also unchecked Copy files to iTunes Media folder when additng to library" to see if that would make this behavior stop.
I've removed the "Adele" file folder from the iTunes Media/Music folder and trashed it...
Still keeps adding the song....
(I just bought my iPhone 5 today and this is stopping me from transefering and syncing my apps and other data from my old iPhone 3GS for fear it might do something strange to iTunes or the iPod function in the new iPhone.)
Thanks!

So in other words, yes, it is a known problem, and yes, it's a bug with the (11) version that was fixed, for most people, with the (12) version.
have it your own way, buddy ...
By the way, I have no idea why you would coyly allude to this issue, parsing out little bits of half-information. You've clearly participated in the other discussions about this issue and could just come out and say what I said above.
i'm an end-user like you, no Apple engineer or tech. i *don't know* if a specific release contained a bug or not. i'm trying to choose my words carefully to stay in line with the ToU.
if you didn't find my replies helpful, say so. i certainly meant no harm and was giving it my best shot.
happy computing !

Sometimes , when I open ITunes Radio, an ad saying that I'm listening to iTunes Radio over and over and I don't get to listen to music. Usually other stations work but select stations just keep repeating the same ad. Why is this?
