Music files not available on iTunes Match

Recently purchased a 1 year-subscription to iTunes Match and uploaded my entire iTunes library: 145GB - 11000 files, mainly music files and some podcasts, right.
However, I'm very surprised to find out that plenty of my music files have NOT been uploaded to the cloud (icone with a strike on the cloud).
Could somebody tell me why?
The concerned files were mainly ripped by iTunes from my OWN CDs and are readily availabe for sale (pay download) on many online music shops and on iTunes Store also.
Please, find below only some examples:
amy winehouse - back to back
andrew bird - andrew bird and the mysterious production of eggs
brad mehldau - largo
chateau flight - puzzle
death in vegas - satan's circus
gary moore - after hours
grateful dead - american beauty
and so forth....
Is there a way I could get those missing files to upload to the cloud?

The "get info", cmd-i, on the file while on the cloud displayed 256 kbps and displayed also "matched".
Another thing about the whole thing I didn't know: now that i've downloaded the mentioned file and deleted it from the MBA without deleting it from the cloud, well, there seems to be no way back!
I mean:
- icloud status column says: "downloaded" (although it's NOT on the MBA anymore), which is kinda misleading.
- icloud icon: cloud with download arrow, which means (probably...) that the file can be downloaded again
- get info (supposedly info about the icloud version of the file...) says now: 160 kbps.
Note: i shut down iTunes and opened it again to make sure the display got refreshed since i don't know where the iTunes "refresh" command is.
All that to say that I'm not sure that iCloud allows us to download an original 160 kbps file to a 256 kbps, which seems in fact too good to be true. But who knows...

  • Music sync not available in iTunes 10.5 preferences

    I have upgraded to iTunes 10.5, upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5, updated OS-X to 10.7.2, updated iPhoto to latest version, enabled sync of everything in OS-X iCloud settings.
    BUT, in the iTunes preferences, under store, Music is not available as an option to syncronize, only programs and books as earlier.
    The Apple guides state that Music should be there.
    What can be wrong?  any other having this problem?
    I want all my bought music to be available on all my devices...

    hey  henke,
    I , too , was wondering why the most important service that I was waiting for , was not available.... the check box for "music" does not appear.
    It turns out that this service is ONLY available to users that have an AMERICAN iTunes account....
    sadly , apple dons't say that and in the web site it seems that this sync service for music is availale for all.
    I guess amd hope it will come to Europe soon. i myself have a German account in itunes

  • How Do I Quickly Find Music Files Not Used By iTunes So I Can Delete Them?

    Hello, I have deleted many songs from my Windows iTunes library; but, the music files remain on my hard drive and are taking up space.  I need to quickly and efficiently find these music files to delete them.  I would prefer to not have to download another utility to accomplish this.
    While I now have iTunes setup so that any future deletions will prompt me to move the music file to the recycle bin, I want to clean-up my hard drive.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    How did you Migrate? On original Startup, or after starting up and creating a user.
    If the latter, then you migrated data is in the migrated user's account.
    If that is the case, log into the other account and move the music into the /Users/Shared folder. Then, log into the account you want to use and import the music into iTunes.
    If that is not the case, please explain where your music is located.

  • IPod Shuffle will not sync music - "files not available"

    I originally thought at first I had a defective Shuffle. I returned the Shuffle and exchanged it for a new one and I am having the same problem. I also have already done a restore and software update to the new Shuffle and it did not solve the problem.
    I connect the new Shuffle and iTunes goes thru the device setup just fine. When I go to sync music to the Shuffle, a box pops up stating that the songs could not be found in the library and cannot be transferred to the Shuffle. iTunes also shows all the files as missing when I select a song. Then a Windows pop up box states that the data on the hard drive where my music is stored has been deleted and cannot be restored. Needless to say the first time I read this I was freaking out because when I click on the drive it shows as totally empty. No files what so ever.
    I then rebooted my computer and the drive and all of the files show up and everything is fine. iTunes works and can play files normally. I plug in the Shuffle and the same thing happens again.
    I also have an Apple TV, 3 Nano's, and an iPod Touch that all work and sync just fine.

    One song out of the album? Are you only syncing a single album to the iPod?
    How is your iPod configured to sync? In other words, is it set to sync you entire library? Are you syncing specific playlists? Specific artists or albums? Are you auto-syncing or manually managing your iPod?

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

  • Itunes music store not available in your country yet.

    I just did a clean reinstall of OS 10.3.5, and when I try to access the music store I get
    "itunes music store not available in your country yet.
    You will be able to browse and listen to previews but wont be able to purchase music. To browse music store, select a country below."
    So I select United States and nothing happens.
    I am in the US and have an itunes account.
    The itunes version is 4.2.
    Also, what is the highest itunes version I can use with 10.3.5?
    I am held down to this OS version because of some other software on my mac that won't work with anything higher than 10.3.5.
    thanks
    roger c.

    First, the iTunes Store has required iTunes 6 at minimum for quite a while now. So you're going to have to upgrade from iTunes 4.2. If you want to run iTunes 7, you'll need to get to Mac OS X 10.3.9. Otherwise you can download iTunes 6.0.5 here, but you won't be able to purchase movies or (I believe) videos unless you have iTunes 7. There's also no guarantee how long iTunes 6 will work.
    Second, you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum. Normally you'll get the quickest and most accurate responses if you post in the iTunes for Mac forum.
    Regards.

  • HT201322 How do I delete previous music purchases from my account if I'm not subscribed to Itunes match?

    On the support pages, there's only instructions to permanently remove songs from the ICloud or Itunes, and it says once you do it, they can't be recovered. I would like to so precisely that with some hideous purchases that keep showing up on my phone as downloadable from the Icloud even when I "hid" those purchases, and it annoyes me since I don't want to listen to those songs ever again in my life. Can somebody help me please? Let's remember the main issue here is that I'm not subscribed to Itunes match, and I don't want to subscribe to it. Is there any way to permanently delete those songs from my account without having to subscribe to Itunes match? Thank you.

  • How do I permanently delete songs not on my computer but are showing with a cloud (available to download).  Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

    I have songs showing with a cloud that my son at some time purchased that I want permanently deleted.  They are not on any computer but can be downloaded by clicking on the cloud.  I want them permanently deleted not hidden. Do not subscribe to iTunes Match.

    Managing app updates with more than one Apple ID is overly complicated as you need to sign in and out of each account in turn, so you may want to avoid creating more accounts it either has been used to purchase apps. For media it isn't quite so bad, but Apple devices are limited to holding protected content from up to five Apple IDs so again I would caution against creating new accounts unless you really have to. I doubt that is the solution in this case. As given, if you hide the purchases in question, sign out, then sign in again, they should no longer appear unless already downloaded to the device, in which case delete them from it directly. In extreme cases where the device "knows" it has some piece of content on it that it won't let you access or delete the resolution is to backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore the backup you made earlier.
    See also Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions and Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing. I don't use either of these features so I don't have any practical expereince over and above what is in those support documents but perhaps they will help.

  • HT4914 How much storage is avail in iTunes Match

    How much music can be stored in iTunes Match.

    From the article that the question was posted from:
    Additional Information
    Notes
    iTunes Match is limited to 25,000 songs.
    iTunes Store purchases made with the same Apple ID being used for iTunes Match do not count towards the 25,000 song limit.
    Unmatched content will be uploaded as is; upload time varies depending on the amounts uploaded and local network speeds.
    Song files over 200 MB will not be uploaded to iCloud.
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) will not be matched or uploaded  to iCloud unless your computer is authorized for playback of that content.

  • Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

    I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.
