ITunes Match subscription says expired

I just got the iPhone 5 and I have iTunes Match subscription until July of 2013. So plenty of time left and I have it turned on on my phone and when I'm on wifi it seems to work fine but if I'm on cellular data after about 20-30 minutes of using it it says my subscription is expired and everything stop working. I haven't tried to call apple yet but it's extremely frustrating. Anyone know what's going on?

Follow up...
Okay, so after spending 2 hours on the phone and chatting on the computer with Apple, nothing got resolved. I was extremely annoyed, and after I got off the phone, I ended up fixing iTunes Match myself. This has got to be the easiest solution and I'm kind of annoyed with myself that I didn't try this sooner...
Here's how:
Restart the phone
Open Settings--->Music
Scroll down to iTunes Match (should be in the "Off" position) and turn it "ON". HAHA...for some reason, it is working just fine now for me.
I wish it was more complicated or makes me look smarter than I am, but it was just that I needed to reset and turn the feature back on.
Hope this helps...

I have allowed my iTunes Match subscription to expire, because of a limited data plan so can't listen to music outside my house. My music files were removed from my computer and are inaccessible without renewing the subscription. How do I get them back?

Hi,
I presume you deleted the original files as match would not have done so. Do you have a back up. If so, restore your music from that. If not, your will have lost all your music as this needed to be on your hard drive when you unsubscribed.

HT4914 Why can I not update my iTunes Match subscription from my iPad? Must I access from a PC?

I have been getting emails syaing my iTunes Match subscription will expire soon and if I do not renew I will not be able to access my music on iCloud. Also, it says I cannot update my account from an iOS device. But I no longer have iTunes installed on a PC - I only access from an iPad or iPhone. What can I do?

I always get an error message "Cannot update iOS software" or something to that effect everytime I try. I've tried plugging my iPad to my laptop computer and then my computer directly to internet connection (we have a router that allows WiFi access, so I thought I'd try to bypass the router instead), but this did not work. I've tried restoring my iPad via connected to my computer through iTunes, that worked for a short time and was able to update the apps I wanted, but soon after one of the apps stopped working properly, and then the apps I wanted to get from the App Store just wouldn't install or load...Instead they would be having "Waiting..." for the longest time until I give up and delete them. I've tried restarting my iPad, no luck either. I've also gone through the Reset process of "Erase All Content and Settings" i.e., Restore, and like mentioned above, it worked for a little while then it went back to square one, as I mentioned a sentence or two previously.
I've no idea what is going on, why it's not working, or anything. I just wonder if it's got anything to do with a slow internet connection (we don't have high-speed internet access), or something else I haven't found that may be just under my nose.
I would love some help and input into my situation, all and any ways which allow me to keep my current iPad (which is the New Generation one), not having to trash it and replace it with a new one.
Have you tried to restore as a new device? Maybe a glitch exists on the restored backup, try this:

Cannot Download Purchased Music After iTunes Match Subscription Expired

The other day my iTunes Match subscription expired (making less money and decided to cut out the cost). I expected to not be able to access music I had stored on my computer (which was the only reason I did Match in the first place), but now, even songs I have very recently purchased using my phone are unavailable. I don't typically buy songs while on my computer, preferring instead to just use the iTunes app on my phone to make the purchases on the go. After purchasing them, I did not think they would not actually be downloaded to my phone. Anytime I try to re-download these songs, I receive a pop up notification stating when my iTunes Match subscription expired. Is there a way to get these songs to play on my phone without having to pay for iTunes Match again? I'm pretty unhappy about this because that was not how Match was advertised to function and don't feel we should have to pay a yearly fee just to be able to restore our purchases we made on the actual device.
My phone is a 32 gb 5S running iOS 8.3.

I've been having a problem similar to this. I click download, it charges me for it and then gives me a message saying there was a problem downloading, an unknown error occurred(-50), check the network connection to make sure it is active and try again. No firewall, no web accelator, network working fine for EVERYTHING else. I think this is because the iTunes servers are overloaded. It seems to have started once they put movies, tv shows, video games, etc. on the iTunes store. I would imagine the download time of these new services are much longer and more bandwidth taxing than the music they've been selling. I usually continue to try for the next few days, maybe trying during off hours to avoid the bandwidth traffic jams, and this SEEMS to help. Although, this is all pure speculation, it is what has worked for me. Still makes me consider paying more at Borders just so I CAN own it when I pay for it. Seems if you take my money I should get the product. Kinda sucky.

My itunes match subscription will be expiring soon. Will I lose all my music, as they are threatening, if I choose not to subscribe again?

Hi,
If all your music is in your itunes library on your computer, you will not lose that music.
If you do not have the music on your computer and stream the music you will lose all your music except for previous itunes purchases. Likewise you will no longer have access to match music.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

ITunes Match is saying it is expired???

What is going on with iTunes Match. I bought a 1 year subscription on 12/9/11 and today while I am out of town and heading home tommorow my iTunes Match tells me it is expired and I have lost all my music. It shouldn't be expired and is set to auto renew. What's the deal apple?

I followed that link and don't see anywhere to raise this particular problem about their automatic renewal debacle. It's not helpful. There's nothing wrong with my card (used it five times just today).
Here's the email I got tonight from Apple - note the part about my complete music collection no longer being available.
Dear MICHAEL,
Store all your music in the cloud and listen to it anytime, anywhere.
Renew your iTunes Match subscription so you can continue to enjoy your entire music collection in iCloud on your iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV. iTunes Match stores not only your songs purchased on the iTunes Store, but all of the other great music you have acquired over the years, including music from CDs.
Your subscription for iTunes Match expired on 11/16/12. Your complete music collection and playlists in iCloud are no longer available from your iOS devices, iTunes, or Apple TV. You will still be able to download from iCloud any music you previously purchased on iTunes from the Purchased area of the iTunes Store. You can also sync your music to your iOS devices using iTunes for Mac+PC. To renew your subscription now, open iTunes on your Mac or PC and choose Turn on iTunes Match from the Store menu.
Regards,
The iTunes Store team
I'm going in to the Genius Bar and rant tomorrow morning. This is worse than the kind of antics I used to put up with MobileMe.

HT4914 What will happen to my uploaded songs after iTunes match subscription expired.

My iTunes match subscrption just expired a week ago, and I press "No Thanks" button on my computer. Of course all my uploaded songs disappear on my computer, if I change my mind now and resubscrpt. Will I still get back my songs? My iPad is still showing those songs though...

Hi,
At present, if you delete a track from your library, instead of asking if you wish to delete from the cloud you are asked if you wish to hide song.
This indicates that the songs will remain on the Apple server. For how long, I do not know but certainly, songs deleted in the past have immediately been recognised as previously uploaded.
This obviously speeds up process if you have to rematch your library or decide to re subscribe at a later date.

HT4913 iTunes match subscription and device association

I have recently purchased an itunes match subscription and I was able to associate it with my new ipad mini, but when I try to turn on itunes match on my iphone 5 and original ipad it won't work. I get an error message that says that I do not have a subscription to Itunes match. It references that I need to go to my computer. When I log on to my itunes account to manage devices, I can see the ipad mini, but not the phone original ipad. Any thoughts on why I can't get this to work? The iphone is latest iOS, but original ipad is only at iOS 5.1 (highest I can go with this ipad, but still compatible with itunes match).

Kate,
You may want to try signing out of the existing Apple IDs (as set up on the iPhone and iPad), then signing them back in.

If the two devices are still misbehaving, you might need to turn them off then back on, or reset them as necessary.

What will happen with matched songs if you cancel your iTunes Match subscription

Does anyone here know what would happen to your nonpurchaced songs if you let your iTunes Match subscription expire? Will they be removed?

Hi CLaCour,
I think the answer to your (and my) question can be found under 'a few iTunes Match questions'.
bigturnip said once you download the matches that were made, they are yours. You pay for imatch and for that you can choose to use them and download to device or Mac. Once this is done, it becomes yours. You dont have to use the matches that are made. He also explains about what is used in the storage. It the uploaded (unmatched) song whitch uses up the free storage from icload

On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do? Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

How do I change my iPad country back to the UK without cancelling my iTunes Match subscription?

When I was browsing iTunes yesterday on my iPad the country linked to my iPad switched to being the US.
I now can't use my iPad to shop in several uk stores.
I don't have easy access to the PC the iPad is linked to with iTunes. Also I don't actually want to cancel my iTunes Match subscription.

You can try signing out your Apple ID and signing back in at Settings > iTunes and App Stores
Or, if that doesn't work
Follow this procedure:
1. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID.
2. Tap your Apple ID.
3. Tap View Apple ID.
4. Enter your password.
5. Go to Country/Region in the popup window to change to the desired store.

Can I cancel Itunes Match Subscription?

Hello,
While living in the UK during my 2 year visa, I downloaded Itunes Match. I have now returned home to Canada. I need now to change my billing information and my country/region in order to download any new music or apps.
In the Itunes Store under Account information i am given the option to change my country or region , when doing so I get this message " You have an active Itunes Match subscription; you must cancel it before you change stores."
I have the option to -do not renew-, but no where can I find to "cancel subscription" . Please help, I would like to use the App and Itunes store again. What do I need to do?

How do I move my iTunes Match subscription to another country

I subscribed to iTunes Match 2 years ago, when I lived in Australia, and have renewed it again recently. Part of this process was to match 25,000 music tracks which took weeks to complete. It also chewed through a huge amount of bandwidth.
I have now moved across the Tasman to New Zealand and have a new username and password for the NZ store. However, my iTunes Match tracks are only available under my old Australian iTunes account.
How can I move my iTunes Match subscription from Australia to New Zealand without having to upload/match all of my library again? Or have to pay another annual subscription?
Hoping someone can help me!

ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
Authorize and Deauthorize
Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.
