ITunes match won't stop trying to download songs

iOS 6 on iPhone 5
I set up with iTunes match and set it to sync one of my playlists. That playlist has 800 songs.
It started downloading the playlist. It was sloooooow, using phone data, even though I set it to use wifi and updated my carrier settings, until I set to not download over cellular data (it seems to try cellular BEFORE wifi for some reason).
800 songs are taking a LONG time to download.
During this time, I have received a number of app update notification, so I went into the app store and selected "update all".
It now won't update Apps as I believe it is waiting for the playlist to finish downloading before getting to the apps.
I turned off iTunes match and deleted all the music on the phone, but there seems to be no way to stop it from trying to download the entire playlist still, even with Match turned off.
I have received notifications from apps that are stuck in the "waiting"stage of the update, but cannot access the app to check the message.
Surely if it is forced to wait for music to finish downloading it should inform you that it can't start the app sync OR it should prioritize app updates over music.
I don't want to reset and start all over again as I am sure I will lose the content of the notification (a chat via skype) and I am missing important business information while it finishes downloading the music.
Any suggestions?

I've just found other posts like mine on the rignt side of the screen and have found the solution: Simply by desactivating iCoud in Preferences System and loging in again and now Calendar works fine.
Thank you Apple Support Community !

  • MY ITUNES KEEPS CRASHING WHEN IT TRIES TO DOWNLOAD SONGS TO MY COMPUTER. HOW DO I FIX THIS???

    EVERYTIME I OPEN ITUNES, IT TRIES TO DOWNLOAD SONGS TO MY COMPUTER AND THEN CRASHES AFTER A FEW MINUTES OR LESS.

    Are you using a proxy? I find that when I'm at office network, which forces the use of proxy, my iTunes crash a lot of times, particularly when it's tryng to connect over the internet. But at home or other public wifi thet doesn't use proxy, it'll run just fine.

  • Don't have ITunes Match but I can't delete downloaded songs

    So I DO NOT have iTunes Match however my music app had iCloud songs that I could download since some were not on my iPhone. I didn't want any of them but accidentally downloaded a few and now I can't get rid of them by swiping left in the app. I turned off show all music so I wouldn't download anymore. Also I thought I could delete them from my library on my computer but they don't show up. I'm running iOS 7 if that helps at all. Thanks

    You are probably thinking about Apple's USB Power Adapter Takeback Program.
    It ended October 2013, and they weren't free anyway.

  • HT5637 iTunes Match won't stop downloading!!!!

    I have an enormous amount of music so I subscribed to iTunes Match.  I made a mistake and tapped on "download all" albums under an artist.  I DO NOT want to download all of this content.  Long story short, I want to STOP ALL DOWNLOADING.  I've tried turning on and off Airplane Mode.  I've turning on and off iTunes Match in Music and in Settings>music.  Nothing is working.  How can I get this to stop?

    Put your phone on Airplane Mode.

  • I subscribe to iTunes Match. I am trying to download my library onto a new computer from the cloud.

    I'm now getting a message saying there are no songs stored in my cloud. How can I recover my music and get it downloaded on to my new Windows laptop?

    I logged into my account, then I synced all my songs onto the library using my iPod. All my songs are on there except the ones from CD's.

  • HELP!  I got a new iPhone and want to download my music from my computer so I don't have to down load song by song on my phone.  iTunes Match won't let me copy it from my computer.  What do I do?

    I have iTunes Match and it's been fine until now. I'm trying to download my music to my phone so I don't have to use the wifi to play it all the time.....but iTunes match won't let me copy from my computer without shutting it off. If I do that then turn it back on then I lose all the music anyway.
    I'm so frustrated and can't download song by song to my phone.
    help.

    If you mean you want to sync your music from your computer to your iPhone you need to disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Go to Settings > Music and set to iTunes Match to OFF (not green). You may need to wait a few minutes for the change to register with iTunes. Connect the iPhone via USB/Thunderbolt and sync the music.

    For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music...
    If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

    I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.

  • ITunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network

    As it says in the subject, iTunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network. For a while I thought the problem was with iTunes Match itself. And maybe it still is somehow. But I recently discovered the problem only occurs on my own home network. Any time I add a song to iTunes that isn't in the iTunes store, it should upload it. But instead it just loops in failed attempts to upload, always stopping and starting over at step 1. Occasionally I'll get error messages like -9810, but more often it'll just continue to loop for hours on end. I recently took my MBP to a coffee shop and used their wifi and tried it there, and the songs uploaded without any problem at all. I never used to have this issue over the entire year I was using iTunes Match. My only guess as to what might have caused the issue is when we downgraded the speed of our internet. I can't recall for certain whether that was the exact time my issues began, but it's the only possible change I can think of. I've tried rebooting the router, turning iTunes Match and Genius off and on, rebooting the computer, creating a new iTunes Library, all not solving my problem. Any other ideas?

    There's a longer thread discussing this problem over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=120&tstart=0
    What I posted there is that if I enable QOS on my router and limit my upload bandwidth (I used a cap of 1024 kilobits/second) then iTunes Match stops looping and will successfully upload songs and complete match.
    There aren't any blocked ports, it's really just iTunes being a pig and oversaturating the internet connection to a point of failure.
    Super frustrating, it's been a bug for months. I wish I had a better solution.

  • Itunes Match won't stream certain tracks after IOS 6.1 update

    OK...so...I updated to IOS 6.1 and now itunes match won't stream ANYTHING over 45 minutes long if it's over a 3G connection and not wireless.  Being that itunes match is primarily for use outside of the house i'm wondering; how can this be useful to anyone?  I have a lot of shows on my itunes that are three hours long but now (due to the update) i can't listen to any of them...unless i'm in the house...which is not why i bought itunes match.  Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?

    I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
    I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me.  This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
    If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

  • I bought a new ipod today and i can not get it to connect to my mac oe my itune account it say s i need ituned 10.4 so i tried to download it, it then says i need mac osx10.5 so i tried to down load it but it says something else do i need to return it?

    I bought a new ipod touch today. I tried to install it and it says i need itunes 10.4 so i tried to download that, it said i needed mac os x 10.5 so i tried to down load that it gave me another message. how do i get my new ipod  onto my mac? Or do i need to return the ipod?

    New iPod Touch devices require a minimum of Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 in addition to a fairly recent version of iTunes. If you are running Tiger (10.4) or earlier, you can't just update to Leopard for free; you have to buy it.
