Lectures in iMatch

I have MANY lectures in my iTunes that I now can not listen on my iPhone because of iTunes Match. How can I use them now on my iPhone?

Store them with a Kind other than Music - worth completing your own research here as there are a number of possible alternates with advantages and disadvantages.
A common route is to use some of the excellent Applications that will manage lecture notes for you.

HT5100 I have downloaded lectures from iTunes u but they do not show up on my bookshelf. Why?

I have downloaded lectures from iTunes u. It had been working fine, but now my downloads do not show up on my bookshelf. They do show up as downloaded when I search through the catalog. How do I fix this?

Wow, I just checked & all the DOWNLOADED songs MADE it into my iTunes "Songs". Thanks anyway!

How do i use ibooks for saving my lecture notes / power point slides please?

Hi, how do I use ibooks for savng / storing my lecture notes on please? (on either a iphone or ipad). Also, can I save powerpoint slides to it too? thanks.

iBooks can only read two formats -- .epub and pdf. So you have to convert your lecture notes or powerpoints to one of those. To do that, check the Save, Export, or Share functions of whatever app you are using to create your notes.

I can't sort iTunes U lectures properly. I can sort them properly on my laptop in iTunes, but when I transfer them to my iPhone, they are all jumbled up. How can I fix this?

I'm using my iPhone for listenting to lectures on iTunes U. When I download lectures to my laptop, they are sometimes arranged non-sequentially. I can fix this by renaming the files (e.g., with numbers in the titles), and then sorting by title. However, when I transfer the audio lectures to my iPhone, they are all sorted by "release date" (and frequently the release date is the same for each lecture), and this screws up the ordering. This means that when I'm listening to the lectures, they are all out of order.
I can find no setting on the iPhone for changing the ordering of lectures in iTunes U, nor can I find a way of changing such things when the iPhone is plugged into my laptop. For example, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop, and open iTunes, I select the device (i.e., the iPhone), look at the lectures in iTunes U, and iTunes will not let me change the column that sorts the files.
Any suggestions about how to correct this problem?

You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually.

New update deleted all of my lecture notes and wouldn't restore recent backup. How can I download them from the cloud to my iPad? (not at my computer right now)

(It's fifteen minutes before class starts)
I tried to back up all of my devices before making the update to 7.0.6.
My iPad was ejected and iTunes told me that it couldn't be updated due to some error (this was yesterday). Then when I plugged it back in, it said I needed to restore my iPad, and I couldn't get to the home screen or anything, it just showed a "Connect to iTunes" icon. So it restored a really early version (with notes from last semester but not from this semester), even though I'm sure I've backed it up at least twice since I got it (1-13-14).
I got onto the Cloud and downloaded some important lecture notes before performing the update just to make sure that they would all be up to date, but those are on my computer, which I am currently not at, so I can't download them. I saw that my iPad was syncing with my Cloud, so my college notes were all showing up, and I didn't stick around to make sure that the current ones showed up (but they're on my cloud, so wouldn't they?).
Also, I use Branchfire's iAnnotate PDF, and all of my highlighted articles for research papers and summaries are gone. I'm missing important articles that had notes for two seminars, and they're all gone. I'm confident I can recover things from the cloud, but iAnnotate doesn't use the cloud. Is there a way to find those again?
What I'm curious about right now is if there's a way to download from the Cloud to my iPad, because that's where my notes are.
Does the cloud sync FROM my iPad? As in, if it isn't on my iPad will it delete documents from my Cloud? Or if it's in the Cloud, will it sync to my iPad if it's absent here?
This is really frustrating, especially because I TRIED to back everything up just to be safe. I tried everything, and I still lost all of my important files. This is beyond frustrating, it's devastating. This is unacceptable.

There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here.
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store.
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps.

Can two people share an iMatch account?

My partner and I have our own iPads and iMacs, I also have a MacBook for work. The iTunes account is mine, and we would like to be able to share the iMatch for our music so we can share our libraries and both access the music stored in the cloud. Can we do this? There is not an obvious way of achieving this, so not sure if this is Apple wanting us to have our own Match accounts or if we physically cannot do this, even with the shared device option or one of us logging into the other's account?
Any ideas?

No: iCloud is intended for use by one person to keep their Macs and devices in sync. Anyone signed into the account has access to all its data. Separate people should have separated iCloud accounts, and separate user accounts on their Mac(s).

Can my wife and I sink our iTunes to both our iPhones through iMatch?

Can my wife and I sink our iTunes to both our iPhones through iMatch?

I can sense a few association problems that may occur here... happens a lot in these scenarios. But if you're careful.....

How can I download my iTunes library from my old Mac to my new iPhone 5 without being able to use iMatch. iMatch is not compatible with my old Mac that runs on 10.5.1

Just got an iPhone 5, and learned that the 100 or more CDs that I had uploaded to iTunes on my older Mac cannot be downloaded to my new phone using iCloud/iMatch. I match is not compatible with the older operating systems. I spoke to a Apple genius, and he said that there is software out there that will do the job. Is anyone familiar with any of these? Frustrated, and need help.

I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.

Is there an easy way to download my music from the iCloud to iTunes library on my new PC desktop so I can sync my iPod? I have iMatch and cannot figure out how to do it in one fell swoop rather than by downloading each song, which will take forever!

Hi,
I have taken over my son's old PC desktop tower as it has more memory than my old PC. I installed iTunes on it and have accessed via my iMatch account my music library that's in the iCloud. I need to download it to the iTuned library on the desktop so I can sync my iPod. I can only see how to do it song-by-song, which will take forever for my almost 5000 songs. Is there a way to dowload the entire library in one fell swoop, letting it download without me having to do each song individually or monitor it?
Thanks,
RSG

Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

HT204406 How do you get your albums from itunes match to STAY on your iPhone rather than having to download them EVERYTIME you want to listen to them? This is tedious and takes up a lot of time. I just want to have iMatch to keep things synced all the tim

Unable to transfer a complete album and only 2 songs appear in iTunes. This is from a purchased CD which was uploaded to my private music collection to use in iTunes.
Unable to keep the songs on iPhone without having to download them all the time. There are albums that apear but greyed because I have to re-download them. It is very nerve racking.
Unable to keep the files edited properly. Such as New York Dolls when it is supposed to be The New York Dolls.
So far, these are the problems I have been running across. No matter which I used to sync or to use iMatch it does seem to have me do a some of the actions over. This does not even cover the rating. It should keep all your settings and not selective.
So I really could use the help. Thank you.

I take it this isnt somewhere where apple reps reply?
No. This is a user-to-user forum, where your fellow users help you. Since those users may be on the other side of the world to you, it may take a while before anyone responds. Occasionally, Apple employees do respond, but that is the exception and their responses will usually direct you to articles that they think will help you.
So, since I have not yet installed iTunes 11.2, I'll go out on a limb and assume that things haven't changed that much.
On the Device/Summary pane is the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos. Is that option still on?

Locked out of iMatch: iMatch/HomeSharing/Apple ID Questions

I purchased an iTunes Match subscription in November (with my Apple ID). We recently gave our son an iPod and set him up on a separate Apple ID. He has a separate log-in on our computer and I used Home Sharing to transfer some songs over to his log-in. We also transferred over some of his purchased via Home Sharing so that I could save them on our external HD. Somehow I have lost the ability to use iTunes Match. It kicked me off and I can't sign back it. I get a message that the "computer is already associated with an Apple ID and I can't associate this computer for 82 days." I did not try to set up iTunes match on my sons account. I only use it for our Apple TV and my iPad. I don't understand how this got messed up. I am not happy waiting for 82 days for it to reset itself as I paid for this service.
Is there anyway I can reset it?
Is there a way to know what I did to cause this issue?
Am I not allowed to have another Apple ID (my son) on the same computer? (but a different log-in).
Am I not suppose to type in his Apple ID on my log-in in order to transfer his purchased on to our HD?
RESPONSE FROM APPLE:
Greetings from Apple iTunes Store Customer Support! My name is Sabrish and I will assist you today.
I understand you have not been able to use iTunes Match as you receive a message "The computer is already associated with an Apple ID and you can't associate this computer for 82 days". I certainly understand your concern.
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. I'm sorry, but you will need to wait until
you have reached that time period so you can associate a different Apple ID.
For more information, please refer the below article:
iTunes Store: Associating a device for computer to an Apple ID for Automatic Downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
I hope the above information is helpful. Thank you for your interest in the iTunes Store. Have a nice day!
MY RESPONSE SECONDARY TO UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (WITHOUT REPLY)
Thanks for the response. I still don't quite understand what I did wrong. I went to an Apple Store today to discuss this issue and all the techs there were perplexed that I couldn't have more than one Apple ID on my computer. They said that I should be able to have have multiple log-ins on the computer with each log-in having their own iTunes/Apple Id Account. My wife and I have Apple TV, the computer, an iPad and 2 iPods on our log-in. We have 3 boys and would like them to have their own iTunes account so they can make individual purchases.
So… are you saying this is not possible without messing up my iMatch account? I did not try to associate iMatch with their device (only my wife's and my devices).
What do I need to do in the future to keep this from happening again. I am very upset that I purchased a year long agreement for iMatch and have already been locked out for 90 days for not doing anything that I shouldn't be able to do. I don't want this to happen again, when the timer resets.
Can you please provide me with a solution to having multiple family members who have Apple ID's when I only have one computer. Do I need to delete their Apple ID account? (seems ridiculous), or did I put this in motion by doing something like hooking up Family Share to their iTunes.
I fully understand restricting one device to one Apple ID account… but not the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure you can. This explains the "90-day switch rule": iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support. You can try contacting iTunes store support to see if they can do anything for you: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

My itunesu says I have downloaded the lectures, but the files are not on my computer, how do I "get" them again

Hi there. I was downloading lectures from iTunesU. The status shows them as downloaded, however two lectures in the series are not on my computer/iPad. How do I "get" them again?

The downloaded content should be in the iTunes U section of your music app. To navigate to iTunes U content launch the music app, click more and look for iTunes U on the resource list.

How does iMatch treat my own home-made recordings with high emotional value?

The question speaks for itself. I am cautious of using iMatch, because I am not sure what it will do with my precious home-made recordings (with performances of some of my deceased family members) of which there is no 'match'. Is it smart to make a back-up of these files first before sending them away in the cloud? Will it back up these files and make them available for all of my devices for my family when they log in under my name?

Hi,
Match will not change your files. If they meet match requirement regarding file type, size and bit rate they will be uploaded as is. If they are aiif, WAV or lossless they will be transcoded to 256 Kbps.
You should maintain a separate back up of all your music - do not rely on match.
The music will be available to stream or download on other devices and computers whilst signed into your Apple ID but be wary of the authorization rules. http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/authorization/

How can I delete my iMatch account and revert my iTunes back the way it was?

I am having many issues with iMatch and want to delete my account and remove all of my music from the cloud.
Here are the issues:
1. My playlists are filled with "error" songs that cause playback to skip multiple numbers at a time.
2. When I sign off of iMatch and try and repopulate my playlists with songs imported from CD's I recieve a message that says " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your icloud library.
* This error message occurs even when I am signed-out of iMatch.
3. There are many songs completley missing from playlists, and none of my playlists were Smart.
4. When I try and restore my playlists I get the same error messgae over and over.
5. If I turn iMatch back on, all of the numbers get classified as "error" and the whole thing starts again.
I have over 25,000 songs and this is a gigantic mess.
Can someone please tell me how to compeltley remove all of my music from the icloud while leaving it on my computer? This includes all playlists?
Can someone please tell me how to delete/remove the connection with my itunes account and the icloud?
I am not asking for a refund, just a return to the way things were before I foolishly bought iMatch.
Thanks
David

Michael,
Thanks for your tip and response. I tried everything. I spoke with support for about 50 minutes the same day I posted. They informed me that even though I might have iMatch switched off, all of my playlists on my iMac have been designated as iCloud playlists. This is why I was getting the iCloud error message everytime I changed a previously iCloud-ed playlist. If I turn iMatch back on, these error codes go away because the playlist is automatically re-synced with the duplicate lists in the iCloud.
The support team suggested deleting my entire library from the cloud but did not have a procedure in place for this. Individual song deletions are listed in an Apple support document, but this procedure will delete the song from your hard disk as well.
So I went to work, re-organized all my playlists with iMatch off and received 100's of error codes in the processes. I found upwards of 200 (out of 25,000) songs that had been corrupted by the iMatch process and were now non-playable MPEG's. I have no clue how this happed becasue on my devices they are AAC files.
Long story short: Apple Service sent me a very apologetic letter, deleted my entire iCloud library and refunded all of my money.
The iMatch expereince for me was a complete disaster however, I must commend Apple for their prompt response and service.
