Itunes Match Wont Upload 2000 Songs

I just got itunes match,
I let it do its thing for a few hours and it started to upload the music.
Then my interent crashed because the bell lines in my aera suck some times. and now I'm trying to get it to work again and it just stays at the point after
step 1 Sending to apple.
Now, I went out of the house and I went and did some shoping and I got this error when I got back
Itunes says "We could not complete your itunes Store Request. An unkown error occurred (4002). Please try later
Well is this not great or what?
I think the servers are just over taken by the latest wwdc confrence but still, its 2012 could apple not run wwdc and itunes match at the same time?

Hi,
This is a problem with genius.
Turn off iTunes match. This will delete genius results. Sign out /then back into iTunes store.
Turn genius back on then after genius has been updated, update iTunes matched. You will be asked to add the computer again.
Trust this works.

ITunes wont upload new songs

My iTunes will happily upload new CDs onto my library but when I try to load them onto my iPod displays the message:
"Some of the songs on the iTunes music library, including the song "Maps", were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod."
I have only used 5.98 GB of storage so I know I have room for the new songs. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

hiya!
... then you're the second person i've seen mention that song name ("Maps") in precisely this context recently. are we talking the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song here?
let's try an experiment. try reimporting the songs from that CD. this time, make sure that error correction is switched off in your importing preferences tab.
does that new copy of the track transfer to the ipod?
love, b

Itunes match not uploading any songs just stuck on "uploading 1 of 1432" for teh last two days , any help ??

I purchased Itune match it matched about 9432 songs and the remaining 1432 it did not got to step 3 of uploading and its been 3 days just keeps saying uploading 1 of 1432 . i have restarted itunes , tried on different ISPs etc no luck what gives , on top of that on my iphone since i turned on match my play lists dont show up . when i try to synch with match off still my play lists do not show up ?

Don't know what fantasy planet bigAl_25 lives on. It does not work consistently for anyone that has a substantial library period. If your lucky, you get 6 songs before it freezes up. Know countless people that have it. Don't know a single person that it works for consistently (on an Iphone) who has a substantial library. I have to run with my Nano because it doesn't work. I have had Apple products since 1984, I know how to trouble shoot issues. There is no current solution. Like other posters, I have tried every single possible fix, including all of those recommended here. It's just not ready for prime time. Until it is, it will continue to be be hit and miss, with the only temporary fixes being to go back to menu, select different mix, or playlist. If that doesn't work, quit app. If that doesn't work, restart the phone. One of these will probably solve your problem, but again only temporarily for about 6 songs, and the cycle repeats itself. You do get a little bit better results over WiFi and if you download all the songs to the iphone before you roll the playlist, but again inconsistent at best. Best idea, worst implementation. I'm sure Apple will eventually fix it. Until then it is hit and miss. I don't care about the $25 (but won't renew if not working when my year is up), just want it to work. GET WITH IT APPLE. Match is a home run, devote more resources to getting the bugs out.

Wont upload new songs

My itunes won't upload my new songs onto my ipod.
They show up on the library, but when I sync my songs they don't come up on my ipod.

Did you have any luck with this? I'm having the identical problem. I can upload podcasts to the iPod but not my new music. I recently moved to a new computer. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I still have music that was in the library from the old computer but new songs won't upload. I'd appreciate it if you could email me if you find a fix. Thanks.

Itunes match wont upload songs that are 64 kbps and lower

so i have about 7 songs that are 64 kbps or lower and it says they are ineligable to upload HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could select the songs and re-encode them into 128 kbps AAC. The quality will be pretty much the same albeit a twice as large file, but you'll be able to upload those files and access them.
If you have the original CDs, re-rip them at 128 Kbps or higher. THAT would be the best quality solution as suggested by Sparta! above.

HT4914 how to upload songs from itunes match onto a new computer

Hey Folks , just wanted to get clarity on something , when i have iTunes Match & my library in the cloud ... would i be able to upload the library to a new computer? i want to start itunes match on my laptop , which holds the library , but want to uplaod the library to the computer , would i be able to with itunes match ?

Hello dolladp
If you enable iTunes Match on the old computer, it will match and upload all the files. When that process is complete then all you have to do is enable iTunes Match on the new computer and download if you choose to the new computer.

ITunes Match won't upload new songs.

iTunes Match gets stuck "sending information to iTunes" when I add new songs to my library.

I just started having this issue on Sunday 7-27-14. I've successfully Updated my iTunes Match with several new albums over the last several days and then all of a sudden yesterday iTunes Match is stuck on Step 2: Matching your music with songs in the ITunes Store. All of my music and my main iTunes library are on my iMac desktop. Although I don't think this matters the music I'm having the issue with is the Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare. It has 12 songs. One song, #3, D is for Dangerous matched and is in my library. It can be accessed/downloaded from my other devices running my iTunes Match. (iPhone 5 and Macbook Air). The other 11 songs are stuck in the Waiting iCloud Status when viewing them in my songs list on the iMac. What is weird is that the other 11 songs do show on my iPhone and Macbook but they can not be played/downloaded. They are there but are faded out with no download symbol next to them (except for #3). See photos. In the middle photo you will see that 9544 of 9555 songs have been checked. It is the 11 songs from the Arctic Monkeys album that are hung up and stuck. ??????????
Additional update: Before posting this I deleted all 12 songs from my library and from iCloud, then Updated iTunes Match successfully (there were no changes) and then added the 12 songs back into my library. When I Updated iTunes Match again it gets hung up on the 11 songs. #3 was a success again.

Will iTunes Match re-upload songs replaced in Library at higher bitrate?

In my iTunes Library (18,000+ tracks, mainly ripped from my own CDs), I have tracks ripped at different bitrates, from 128, 160, 256, 320 kbps, as well as Apple Lossless. Given how cheap storage has become since I first ripped many of my CDs, I am going through my CD collection one last time and re-ripping everything into Apple Lossless (ALAC) format. I am starting with the tracks that are in the Library now at 128 & 160 kbps. Many of these songs have been matched by iTunes Match, so they are available to me from iTunes at 256 kbps, but I will still create ALAC versions.
My question is about the tracks that iTunes Match has uploaded to Apple. When I replace the tracks in my Library recorded at low bitrates with the ALAC version, I would like for iTunes Match to notice and re-upload the new file. I understand that iTunes Match will convert ALAC files and upload them at a max of 256 kbps, but right now it seems that iTunes Match does not recognize changes in the underlying file on my computer. For example, if a track was originally uploaded as 128 kbps and then I replace it in my Library with an ALAC version, the 128 kbps version stays on Apple's servers instead of being replaced by a 256 kbps version. I have tested this by downloading tracks from the cloud on other machines connected to my account and they come down at 128 kbps, even though an ALAC file is in the "master" Library.
So my question: is there a way to get iTunes to replace uploaded files on Apple's servers with the highest bitrate version possible if you change the local file after it has been uploaded?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Drew

Hippogreen,
I chose not to follow your Item 4, ie, I am ripping new ALAC tracks directly over the lower bitrate tracks in my existing Library. I just did not want all the extra labor involved in recreating playlists when I reimport, and I did not want to lose the metadata of playcounts, date original imported to library, etc.
If you do as I am doing and want the new ALAC track to directly replace the existing ones in your Library, your Item 1 is relevant:
1) If I have heavily corrected the metadata of a track and it is substantially different from the info provided by iTunes (when I re-rip the CD into ALAC format), how will iTunes know that it is a duplicate? I assume I will have to manually de-duplicate in such a situation. I am thinking of uploaded rather than matched tracks.
Like you, I had heavily corrected and personalized metadata, including my preferred capitalizations (often very different from Gracenote and the automated data from iTunes!), track performers, etc. I wanted to preserve all of that, but if your tracks' metadata differs from that which is automatically supplied when you insert a CD, then iTunes will not offer to replace the existing tracks. The solution for me was an AppleScript I found at the fantastic website Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes (dougscripts.com). Get the script "Copy Track Info to CD Tracks v1.3". The URL is:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackinfotocdtracks
This script copies all of your personailzed metadata to the CD tracks so that your own metadata is preserved while iTunes recognizes that the CD is already in your library and replaces the tracks. You can read the complete instructions at dougscripts.com and in the included documentation. It has been a lifesaver, and is truly the only way I have been able to move forward quickly re-ripping my CDs into ALAC.
Note also that when iTunes "replaces" the existing tracks with the new ALAC versions, it does not actually delete the original files. They remain in the same folder where originally stored, but they just become unlinked from the iTunes Library entries. The new files are linked to the iTunes entries, but you are not in danger of losing your original files. You have to go in and delete them manually if you want, or keep them.

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching? All songs are available on iTunes. I don't get it! Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match? I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
You aren't comparing like with like.
The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

Once I "match" and upload my songs, will newly added albums (from LPs) automatically be uploaded/matched after the initial batch? Do I have to keep the initial batch on that Mac?

No. However iTunes Match is not a backup service: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

How can it that half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs from the same CD (ripped by Itunes) are not matched but uploaded?

I started with ITunes Match a few days ago (I have the latest versions of all OS's etc)
- The whole process took more then two days to complete for the first time.
- Half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs most of the time from the same CD (most ripped by ITunes) are not matched but uploaded(?)
- Complete CD's are not recognized, they are however available in the ITunes store (songs in my library not available in ITunes are an exception).
- The match part overall is less then 50%, which is a complete disappointment.....
- When I activate ITunes Match on my IPod, IPhone and IPad the art-work does not load or only partly.
- Loading songs on iOS is extremely slow... and that is definitely not due to my internal network.
- ICloud (ITunes Match) on the apple TV stops working after every 15 seconds because it losses connection to the ITunes server....
I am a real Apple fan for the last decade but what a disappointment is this......before I started with ITunes Match everything worked seamlessly.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

Cant upload new songs in iTunes from new computer onto iPhone 3gs

How do I upload new songs in my new iTunes from my mac to my iphone 3gs WITHOUT deleting or replacing all the old songs? My old computer crashed and I have no way of accessing those old songs but I dont want to loose all 509 songs. some were burnt from CDs i no longer have some were purchased through iTunes etc...help please! i really like my old music and just want to update it.

By 'rebooted' do you mean that you only rebooted it, or that you reinstalled its software ?
If rebooted then aare the songs still on your computer, just not in iTunes - by default your iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then File > Add To Library in iTunes should let you add it back.
If not then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases (including apps, films etc) back from your phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
For non-iTunes purchases (and for purchases if need be) there are some programs listed half-way down this page which can copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then add them to iTunes via File > Add To Library
If iTunes thinks that you are trying to sync the phone to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
