ITunes Match Unknown Error (4010)

Does anyone know how to solve the "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (4010.)" when trying to set up iTunes Match? It almost went through once but froze at step 3. Now I'm just getting this error above at the end of step 1.
I currently only can see maybe 2/3rds of my iTunes library in the cloud. Some appear to be matches, some are uploads, however not everything is up there. I've tried restarting the match process to no success.
I've e-mailed apple, but the e-mail I got back directed me to these forums.
- I've checked the xml file and it appears to be fine
- I've turned off all other iOS devices/AppleTV
- I've checked for 'dead songs'
- Tried looking for a weird 'square' in my meta tags
- There are songs waiting to upload, but don't. (meet all requirements like being over 96k bit rate, etc.)
If the answer has been posted somewhere on here, please let me know. I feel I've done a fairly thourough search on here but unfortunately have not found any solutions yet.
Thanks,
-Mike

I'm having the same problem.
I started the iTunes Match process on Monday and everything started off with smooth sailing. Over 11,000 songs were matched and the other 4,000 were being uploaded into the cloud. Sometime Wednesday night, iTunes crashed unexpectedly and I have been getting the 4010 error ever since. I had 2,000 songs left to upload into the cloud.
I've:
- Ran Software Update.
- Repaired Disk Permissions.
- Reset PRAM & SMC.
- Reinstalled iTunes.
- Checked for Dead Tracks.
- Validated the XML file the iTunes Library resides in.
- Re-created the XML file for the iTunes Library.
- Wiped my entire iTunes library.
I'm still getting that darn 4010 error the moment Step 1 is about to complete.
I've sent off two very detailed emails to iTunes and this is the first response I got back:
"I understand that your iTunes Match has stopped working for your account. I know you must be eager to have this taken care of. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. My name is John from the iTunes Store and I will do my best to help you.
Apple's engineers are currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you so much for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible.
Have a great day."
So, um, it looks like there's no fix at the moment.

ITunes Genius Unknown error 4010

I'm a bit tired of this issue which appears to be unresolved problem with iTunes Genius since September 2008. First my updates would get hung up on an iTunes error 4002. After seeing that the fix for this was to turn genius off and then back on, I started getting an Unknown error 4010. There seems to be no consistent fix for this and no word for Apple on what to do. Since the fixes seem so varied, I wonder if this is really an issue on the client end or is this a server issue?
I have deleted the .itdb files and that doesn't help - it just gets hung up longer before failing. Can someone provide an answer on how to fix (or whether or not it can be fixed).

Unfortunately Validator did not work for me.
It gave errors:
perl(13975) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3)
perl(13975) malloc: * error: can't allocate region

Out of memory!
Apparently it ran out of memory! I have 4GB. perhaps my .xml file is just too big (it is 273 MB). I tried an online xml validator, and it also chocked with a file this big. Maybe that is the problem apple is having as well.

ITunes Match - Unknown Error Occurred (4010)

Is iTunes Match down?
I can't connect and keep getting this error message:

I had this problem also and tried a few more troubleshooting steps (none of which worked), but they might help someone.
Sign out of Apple Id in iTunes, then sign back in
Turn on iTunes Match <-- didn't work, still had 4010 error
Turn off/on iTunes Match while holding the Option Key <-- didn't work, still had 4010 error
Quit iTunes
Go into Finder -> Music and rename the "iTunes" folder to "iTunes Backup"
Hold down Option key while clicking on the iTunes icon to start it (this asks you to create a new iTunes library)
Created a new iTunes folder (Music -> iTunes)
Sign into Apple Id in iTunes, then turn on iTunes Match while holding the Option Key <-- didn't work, still had 4010 error
Physically walk to another iMac and sign into iTunes and turn on iTunes Match while holding the Option Key <-- didn't work, still had 4010 error
At this point, after having tested on multiple iMacs, I figured that the problem was not with my local iTunes, but something larger (on Apple's end).
Apparently, if you can't access iTunes Match on multiple computers, then the problem could be with your account and you will need to contact Apple Support. I ended up describing my situation on the support page here - https://getsupport.apple.com/, and had them call me. I spoke to Anastasia and she had to bump me up to another technician, Brandon. He suggested that I delete the Album from iTunes...but alas, I cannot get access to the album to delete it without iTunes Match working.
Brandon finally spoke with an Engineer and they said that the issue was on my Apple Id Account and that they'd have to place the account into troubleshooting mode (which means giving Apple access to your account) so that they could figure out the problem. Of course, I wanted this fixed, so I let them. I'll hear back in 3-4 days what the engineers find.

ITunes Match unknown error -50

Today I tried to upload an mp3 track to iTunes and from there to iTunes Match.
iTunes Match has now stopped working and is giving me the error "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occured (-50)."
I'm on a laptop (Hewlett Packard Pavilion g6) running Windows 7. My antivirus program is Norton Internet Security. My iTunes version is 10.7.0.21 (I can't stand iTunes 11, sorry).
I've tried signing in and out, restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, etc.
What puzzles me is that when I do an internet search on Error -50, the general response is that it has to do with downloading purchased songs from iTunes. But I wasn't trying to do that. Despite the error message, it wasn't an iTunes store request, it was iTunes Match!
What's going on?

Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to fix it.

ITunes Match "Unknown" Error

I wanted to upload some songs my match, but it wouldn't let me, so I found an article online telling me to delete my "apple.com" cookies then signed back into my account but it would constantly ask me to sign in, and it would't stop asking me to, even though my password was correct. So now my computer does not let me sign into my match.

Itunes match. says error 4010

I have been trying to get my itunes match to work for a really long time. there was a time that it was on and then i got a window saying to long out and then log back in. after I logged back in, I have been getting the error 4010. and that it cannot connect to store.

Yes, but does it work the next time you add to your library?
If I do all the steps (sign in, turn off, sign out, reset, sign out, quit, open, shake, repeat) I can sometimes get iTunes Match to work ONCE, I think. But then it fails with some random error message (4001, 4002, 4010, 3132, etc) the next time it runs. It basically makes it useless, and sometimes it seems to screw up iTunes as well, with things I've bought downloading a second time, or the program hanging.
This need to work. Why hasn't Apple addressed this problem? It's obvious a lot of people are having it.

ITunes Match unknown error (-54)

I did the update for OS X and therefore iTunes that was released yesterday, and everything went smooth.
Then today I opened iTunes for the first time after the update, and for the first time I got this error:
If I click OK it tries again, but the error appears again, and so on...
Until I click on the little X and stop the iTunes Match process, but that means that it doesn't do its work in the end!
What's happening? It never happened before, I've been using Match for a year and it's always worked fine.
I've just two days ago renewed my subscription, which was 28€, so I wouldn't want for it to stop working after this iTunes update!
Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Thanks for your help.

Now I also get this:

Anyone getting an unknown error 4010 when launching iTunes Match?

Never had any problems with iTunes Match until the last week. Now whenever I open iTunes and Match starts to update it gets stuck once it starts "sending data to apple." A warning pops up and says "unknown error 4010." I also downloaded an album and when I synced it to my iPhone all the songs were on there twice. Never had any problems with Apple or iTunes before, but lately I've had nothing but frustrations. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Unfortunately getting the same problem as yourself although I've just purchased Itunes Match yesterday and haven't even seen it work. Wondering if i have just wasted my money! I've tried the option/turn off itunes match but even that doesnt work. wondering if I just need to give it a bit more time.

What is error unknown error 4010?

Whenever i open iTunes i get a message that pops up reading (along the lines of) could not connect to the iTunes Store due to unknown error 4010.
What does 4010 mean? I submitted a report to Apple about it but haven't heard back. It seems to have something to do with iTunes Match.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Im using OS X 10.8.2
and iTunes 10.7

You may be using the wrong ID. The ID you use with iTunes match should be your store ID, the one you built your iTunes library with. Thus if your store ID is different than your iCloud ID you should use your store ID for iTunes match and not your iCloud ID for iTunes match. In order to get your iTunes store ID assigned to iTunes match you must be logged into iTunes under your store ID when you buy iTunes match.
I have a situation where I have two IDs, one for iCloud and one for store. My iCloud ID came from my old Mobile Me account, which was not the same as my store ID. This arrangement works fine, though, because there are two different places to input IDs into your IOS5 devices. Put your iCloud ID in the iCloud section and put the store and iTunes match ID in the store location.
Its confusing to people because you use your iTunes store ID for itunes match even though the music is stored in iCloud. Some may naturally think you use the iCloud ID for iTunes match but that is only true for people that only use one ID for everything.

If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

When I get into the iTunes music store everything loads completely fine, all my searches, everything I click on, fine. However, whenever I click BUY SONG, try to purchase anything from the store, view my store account, or something else similar, I get unknown error (-9813).

I'd suggest you ask this question in the iTunes forum rather than the GarageBand forum to get answers about, well, iTunes.
