Match not updating Album info

Hi,
I enabled Match and let it upload missing songs, mostly compilation albums.
Once they were on Match I realised that a lot of the albums had incorrect info (causing the compilation albums to appear many many times in my iPhone).
I fixed the issue on my laptop, but I can't get the changes to roll out to Match.
What am I supposed to do? How do I get it to sync the changes? Ive tried doing "Update iTunes Match" but that hasn't done it either.
Suggestions?

I had this problem with some of the older music that I have. I actually found my own album artwork and info on the internet and entered it in manually. I guess this could take awhile for alot of music, but i know how frustrating it can be.I used Amazon.com to find info and artwork for music Apple never heard of.Good Luck.

ITunes match not updating on devices

Help. Please.
itunes match not updating. iTunes on computer has appropriate songs/ albums. But on iPhone and ipad changes do not appear. I have tried holding down shift key when turning off iTunes Match, signing out of iTunes Store, then quitting itunes. I then start itunes, sign into store, then turn on iTunes match and it goes through lengthy scanning, hours, and I am left with the matching page showing the three stages of iTunes Match greyed out, with a button offering me to start it again. Re
i have repeated this process several times, switching off iTunes Match on devices before starting iTunes Match on compute - same problem. I have changed albums while iTunes Match is on, as recommended by apple's webpage.
please advise on how to update iTunes match so this change on computer also happens on devices. Thank you in advance

Dear Jim
thank you so much. Thank you for your quick reply, sorry I did not respond sooner, but I wanted to make sure it worked before replying, hence I had to wait for iTunes Match to do its thing.
You are are a genius Jim, so a big thank you.
So in a nutshell for all, Jim's solution works for those who have gone over their 25,000 limit by mistake, and are unable to update match, you can with Jim's solution, delete stuff in the iTunes Match cloud and in effect have your original iTunes Match library as you want it.
Thank you Jim

*** is up with itunes not updating my info??

*** is up with itunes not updating my info. the problem I am still having after 3 weeks is I can not update my credit card/debit card info because itunes says my billing information does not match my bank records. I know this is lunacy because the info I put in is completely correct, i even contacted my bank 3 times to make sure they had my info correct. so obviously something is completely ******** with itunes/iphone in which I cant update my info. **** I cant even download a free app, because it says my info has changed, and I need to change it. when i do, it gives me that stupid message about my info not matching my bank records. Something needs to be done asap.

does itunes support ever respond to these forums??
Since these are user-to-user forums, no they don't.

Match not updating iPhone but fine on iPad?

Match not updating iPhone but fine on iPad?
I've added songs to iTunes on my Mac and updated Match, they show fine on my iPad but not on my iPhone.
Show all songs is on and i've reenabled Match on my phone and on my Mac numerous times but for some reason Match won't add new content to my iPhone.
any ideas?
Thanks.

HeIlo Brian, thanks for the help. I couldn't find any email setting in the iPad settings for "signing out" of an account, only deleting (which I've done already), but I did go into the Yahoo account setting on the iPad, and slide the green Mail slider across to "disconnect" it (while leaving the others). I then went to my Mail and saw the "Yahoo, Google, etc." mail setup screen. I then went BACK to settings and slid the mail slider back "on" again. When I returned to Mail, first I saw ""***Orphand Mail Account" at the top of the screen...And then it reloaded and all is well...my mail is back. Thanks for putting me on the right track!

Can't update album info with Get Info

Hi While I am new to the Mac world I have used iTunes on the PC. My problem is that I have some random tracks from various albums that I want to group as one album in iTunes. So I've highlighted an item and hit Get Info and none of the fields are editable. How come?
Also I've tried it with multiple items and whilst it will let me update the info no problem when I hit OK it doesn't save the changes...
Arghh its driving me mad... any help would be appreciated

The files could be marked as *Read only* or your security permissions on those files might not include write access. For single files iTunes will probably know it can't change any data so disables the editable fields. For groups it will let you try to make changes, but silently fail to apply them.

Change_connection does not update entire info about application

The procedure change_connection does not update the entire info of the about application window. When I change my connection the connect string in the about application window still shows the old connection string.
I added the line g_connect_string := get_application_property(CONNECT_STRING);
to the procedure change_connection between the lines
-- Reset user preference settings for new user connection
qms$user_prefs.init;
and the lines:
-- The menu must be replaced because the new user might have other security privileges
Now the connect string will change in the about window.

Mark,
This has been implemented in Headstart PATCH6530_for_6i and PATCH6530_for_9i.
Regards,
Marcel

Not finding album info

hi guys um my itunes will not automatically find album info for me i have the correct boxes checked and a internet connection but it wont do it please help me

I had this problem with some of the older music that I have. I actually found my own album artwork and info on the internet and entered it in manually. I guess this could take awhile for alot of music, but i know how frustrating it can be.I used Amazon.com to find info and artwork for music Apple never heard of.Good Luck.

Why do i not get album info when copying cd's into itunes?

I have been importing music from my cd's into my itunes library. I am wondering why album info and track names do not automatically transfer over into itunes? I am having to type each song name and album name in individually - is there a way around this?
Cheers

That just depends who made the CD. Some have that info, and some don't. It sounds like the one's you're importing don't.
Also, some get that info off the Internet, so you'll want that computer connected while importing.

ITS not updating album artwork

I have tried multiple ways listed on multiple posts. Let me spell out as much detail as I can here.
iTS Podcast URL: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hardstyle-team/id334802520
My podcast's album artwork has gone awry since they standard change to 1400x1400px for the artwork. I had made the recommended changes such as crearting a new file and referencing it, not overwriting my current file, but no luck. I have been reverted to the default artwork ever since.
After a month or so I had thought it may be the Wordpress plug-in I was using. BluBrry. Because now my feeds weren't updating. I tinkered around and re-installed BluBrry and Wordpress running all default recommended settings. My feed had finally updated, but not the album artwork. And for some reason my feed was only showing 9 episodes?
So I decided perhaps I'll dump everything on another domain and use Podcast Maker since it had a free 30 day trial.
I set 301's to my old feeds and included the iTunesNewUrl line.
http://hardstyleteam.us/feed/podcast/ is now http://podcast.hrdstyl.com
Feed displays as valid but there has been no change in my ITS listing.
This is frustrating when I am regularly ranking in the top 50 in the Netherlands Music Podcasts, but displaying a generic placeholder graphic with no episodes being updated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You!

iTunes is indeed using the feed at http://podcast.hrdstyl.com/ at least for subscribers. The episodes up to 36 show in the Store: episode 37 shows when subscribing but as it was only uploaded today it won't appear in the Store for a day or two.
You have an image correctly referenced in the feed: it should appear in the Store eventually but it can take a week or two for images to appear.
You have a 301 redirect in place: I don't know what the result will be if you remove it. Obviously the itunes:new-feed-url only works if the Store can read the old feed - that will move it permanently. However Apple do advise using both, and leaving both in place for two weeks, so presumably it will be OK.

ITunes Match not syncing album by year in Music app

I have been cleaning up my iTunes library, on my MBP. While importing some new songs and editing some old ones, the albums are sorting correctly by year in iTunes, but not in the Music app in iOS. I edited the year info for all the tracks in the album, but the year in the Music app says the old year, which means the albums are out of chronological order. I use iTunes Match to sync. Where is the old year hiding?

Well, after a weekend of complete disaster and nightmares for iTunes Match, everything is back to normal except one major flaw that's really annoying me.
On friday no other tracks but the matched ones would stream on either my Apple TV or my secondary computer. They wouldn't download if I wanted them to on this secondary computer. Music videos included.
Later last evening every track on iCloud started working properly again. Except music videos. They'd not download on my secondary computer. They wouldn't stream on my Apple TV. I did some tests and out of 208 music videos currently compatible with iCloud (because they were purchased with the same account) only 3 actually stream and download. So either this is part of the temporary breakdown iTunes Match has been suffering, or because of it my music videos are corrupted.
I've contacted Customer Support 4 times to no avail so far regarding a response. Either I can play/download my music videos again or one of the main features for me of iTunes Match on my Apple TV is absolutely broken and useless.
Apple really needs to address this and solve my problem. Otherwise iTunes Match is only partially working. What would the use of buying music videos at the iTunes Store would be for me from now on???

HT4915 iTunes Match not updating Changes from Library and reverting to original data WHYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!?

How do I keep iTunes Match from De-Organizing my music? I have spent hours organizing my music ratings, info, and deleting duplicates only to quit iTunes and find out that it reverts back to the original when it starts up and syncs with Match. It first de-organized hours worth of my time. Then I tried it again with iTunes match off only to find out that once you turn it on it de-organizes it again!! I have iTunes match turned off on all my devices. HELP!!

Oh let me elaborate some more as my frustration kept me from being clear. I updated my library (which is of significant size) with different ratings, genre and deletion of duplicate songs. While iTunes Match was on. I closed the ITunes program and, later once I re-opened it it asked if it connect to the internet like usual and right in front of my eyes reverted what I had updated back to before I updated it.
I never had this issue before except for when I first upgraded my macbook and copied the music files straight from the iTunes folder from a backup disk which did not save any of my ratings.
I then modified a couple of songs again, closed the I-Tunes application, opened it again, and saw it revert it again.
I turned iTunes Match off on all my devices and modified some songs, restarted iTunes and the changes stayed.
Something with the "Cloud" is not allowing these changes to remain permanent. Once a change is made to a file it is timestamped right? So why is the cloud and computer not following the latest timestamp?
I have finished organizing a sizable amount of music and am now worried about turning Match on again in fear that it will screw up my entire library.
I do this about once every 5 years or so where I spend a lot of time organizing my music, photos, etc... I just wish that for once I would have technology that wouldn't make it a nightmare.
Side note: I am bilingual and recently changed my computer language from English to Portuguese. So iTunes thinks its totally cool to change the genre of only the songs that are played to the portuguese spelling of the genre, which practically duplicates all my genre. Thats pretty annoying. Just leave the freaking music metadata language alone dudes if the artist speaks english the metadata should be in english in my opinion. Or at least have this auto language update as an option under preferences one could opt out of.

ITunes Match not updating on iPad or iPhone

I have iTunes Match enabled on 3 computers and two iOS devices both on 5.0.1. When I make changes to the library on any of the 3 computers, the other two computers will reflect those changes (whether it is adding new songs or changing artwork or ratings etc). However, the iPhone and iPad will not reflect those changes. I have restored from new and from backup and still the same problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply
I do all my updating on my main computer that has always had my library. All changes are reflected on the other two computers. I even tested making changes from those two computers and all computers reflect the changes. It seems to be just the iPhone now as since I first posted this, for some odd reason, the iPad is now seeing the changes. I have closed out the iTunes app from the multitask menu. I have also rebooted, powered off, toggled itunes Match off and on again (which is odd because when i turn it off, it does not remove the itunes Match songs which I thought it would have and only kept the locally stored songs). I think I will have to try a clean restore again and maybe that will solve the problem. I am all out of things to do to rectify this problem.

ITunes Not Syncing Album Info

An album I had in my iTunes library had the wrong year in it so it was not in the correct order chronologically so I changed the album release year in this case from 2008 to 1994. However despite it changing in iTunes OK when it syncs over to my phone it reverts to 2008 on my phone but stays as 1994 on my iTunes library.
Any ideas? it is driving me mad!

OK, the iPod show up in Windows Explorer when you plug it in - and it never shows up in iTunes?
Have you tried anything from this document - iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes?

ITunes Match not updating on iTunes 11.1.4, OS X 10.9.1

Title says it all, I recently added new songs to my library from CDs .When iTunes goes to update the library, it hangs up when sending the information to Apple.
I've tried troubleshooting the issue:
Signing out of iTunes Store, relogging in
Turning iTunes Match off, then on again
Restarted the computer
Anyone else having this issue or have a solution?

Hi,
Try holding option key whilst turning off match. Close and relaunch iTunes. Turn on match and select add this computer.
Try rebooting you Internet router as well.
