My iTunes Match still has not finished after 3 1/2 days and step 3's total number keeps changing, Why?

So I finally broke down and subscribled to iTunes Match just to see how it is and if it would be worth it to me. well right now im about to wig out because its been 4 days and i still have not gotten past step 3 on the proccesing...now to itunes match's defense, or iMatch as ive seen it called, i do have an emense itunes library of movies, tv shows, podcas, ringtones, and music (somewhere around 15,000 total) so I knew it would take a while, but 3 days?! And thats not even the problem, thats just a little grip I have cuz now I can't access my music on my iphone almost everything is greyed out.... i gould a back door to it where if i shuffle the album and skip to the song i want then that will work BUT! thats too much of a hassl!
Ok enough ******** cuz ima sit here just to see how long it takes and report back. Now for the real question.... I want to know that in all this waiting why does step 3 where it uploads artwork and remaining songs total number keep changing, i.e. :
this is the screen ive seen for the last 3 full days, and the total items uploaded keeps changing yesturday it said 1500 of 7000
so is it updating the number as it uploads them or what? It's confusing but im trying to give it a chance.

*Update*
ok so day 4-5 and im still not finished with the inital iMatch process.... BUT i found out that nothing was wrong its just taking for freakin ever. oh well at least i only got 1000 more to go....

Having purchase iTunes Match, it will not finish syncing; won't complete process. SOS

I bought iTunes Match and haven't been able to complete the syncing process over several days. It will go thru the steps 1, then 2 and stalls on 3 (uploading art work and remaining songs.) I have had several serious problems over the past couple of years, twice having lost my musical Playlists. I've had to reconfigure them & neither time are they the exact same -- this means, from my conbination of internet buys & manual downloads, there are years of different kinds of files. Any help offered will be appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem - but the difference being the device isn't recognised at all!!! The latest updates for IOS and iTunes are filled with bugs, it's so annoying I can no longer sync my iPod Touch (5th gen) and the device itself isn't sending iMessages & Facetime won't work!
This thread is about devices not syncing properly. If your iPod Touch isn't behaving normally it's more likely that there's an issue with the device itself.
First try resetting it:

If all else fails try restoring it:

Metadata load during 24 hours and still has not finished

Hi all,
I have a problem with the metadata load on HFM 9.3.1.3
It seems it is running from about 24 hours.
it happened some time that the log has not been produced from the HFM client, but I always have found in the log that the metadata load had finsihed succesfully.
This time I have no clue that the dataload has completed.
I have performed some times ago the delete invalid record task, that completed succesfully.
Can some one tell me wich are the drivers that make the data load process last so long?
Regards, Andrea Zannetti.

Changes to the Entity or Currency dimensions can take far longer than changes to the Account, Custom, or Scenario dimensions. The reason for this lies primarily with the calc status tables, since changes to Entity or Currency require HFM to make changes including inserts to all of the CSE/CSN tables. Changes made to the Accounts or Customs do not require updates to the CSE/CSN tables.
Another common place for very long metadata loads lies with journals. The "Check integrity" box for metadata loads tells HFM to read through each and every journal and journal template in the entire application, checking to see whether even a single journal or template could become invalid if it allowed the metadata to be loaded. NEVER uncheck this, since once metadata has invalidated even one journal, you can never load metadata with the check in place afterward.
Another possibility is that metadata loads have to wait for all currently running data loads and consolidations to complete before the metadata load can start. Once it starts, subsequent data loads and consolidations have to wait for the metadata load to complete before they can start. This is to preserve data integrity.
One last place to look for long metadata load times comes with an application whose database is performing poorly, possible because of missing/broken/out of date indexes.

The Clone Database process has not finished 12 hours later!

On my WindowsXP system,I have made a Data Guard configuration with DGMGRL tool(without EM Grid Control). The current database is the primary database. I want to add a standby database. So, At first, I clone the current database using EM Clone Database tool. But the clone process has not finished after renning for 12 hours.
What is the reason? Is it normal?

To answer your question then. No, you do not need an SGA size >=800MB to clone the database. You may want to increase the SGA on the clone database to speed up the clone process if possible. 500MB isn't much memory for a database server. What is the size of the SGA on the source database?

how do sync a book that I have added as music to itunes on my iMac and then listen to this book on my iPhone. Itunes says the icloud status is waiting so the song(book) is in the process of being matched but has not yet been processed. (no help there)

Hi,
Why are you trying to add a book as music? It will not match as this only applies to music files. It will be uploaded if the bit rate is 96 Kbps or greater.
You should change media type to audiobook and you will be able to sync by wifi or USB.

Try a Reboot press & hold menu button & power button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. I never use PCs for software upgrades or downloads I always use wifi had no problems with iOS 8.1 B sydd

I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c. Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring? (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything. It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?

Hello there, Brandifoote24.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Please help me.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

I (though am not sure what happened) solved the problem. Under show all I had both videos and music selected as on. I turned off videos and ..hey presto..the slider reappeared.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

I have atempted to gift a song to someone. I have been charged for it but it was not received. I tried to re-gift it and was charges a second time but the recipient still has not received it. How can I get the song to her or my money back?

First, have the recipient check any anti-spam filters that may be present on her email account or in any email application to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked. If she is sure that is not the case, go here:

Hello, today I am subscribed to photoshop CC but still has not passed and the activation of the post did not come serial number that do tell me?

creative cloud does not use a serial number. it uses your adobe id.
download the creative cloud desktop app (after signing in with your adobe id), Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
and use the desktop app to install your adobe creative cloud programs.
if you already have the cc desktop app and you need to refresh your adobe id, Sign in, Sign out | Creative Cloud desktop app

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.
