Hi,
If all your music is in your itunes library on your computer, you will not lose that music.
If you do not have the music on your computer and stream the music you will lose all your music except for previous itunes purchases. Likewise you will no longer have access to match music.

  • When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

    When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
    Download past purchases
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT5637 now that I have subscribed to iTunes match and synched with my phone, I assume that all the music stored on my phone is now stored in the cloud.  Can I now delete the tunes on my phone so that I regain storage space?

    Now that I have subscribed to iTunes Match and synched my phone, I'm assuming that my 6.9GB of music and 2.3 GB of videos are stored in the cloud and accessible to my phone for listening or watching.  Can I now delete them from my phone so that I regain the 9.2GB of storage space?

    Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

  • On my iPhone 5 (since activating with iTunes Match), I CAN NOT see all my music. There are artists that I can not see, nor their songs. BUT I can see them on the iPad3 and on iTunes on my PC.

    I can NOT see all my songs on iPhone5 since activating iTunes Match about a week ago!
    ALL songs are available on my iPad3
    ALL songs are available on my Win7 computer iTunes
    I just did:
    Transfer purchases from iPhone and a Music Sync
    NOTHING. Tunes and artists are still NOT SHOWING on my iPhone5\
    BUYING another copy makes it available on te iPhone, but at double the price
    However, some show as PURCHASED, so I can't get another copy on the iPhone
    There are MAJOR PROBLEMS with iTUNES MATCH!
    This problems is ONLY on the iPhone 5

    It might take a while (30 minutes or more) for the initial sync to finish.
    When it finishes, here's how to see all you desktop bookmarks:
    # Press the "Search" button on your Android phone, or tap in the Firefox address bar.
    # Press the "Bookmarks" button (with a star icon).
    # Tap the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder.

  • I have a lot of songs on my ipod that are not in my itunes.  Not sure why, but I'm wondering if I sync them, will I lose all of these song that are on my ipod, but not in Itunes?

    I pretty much summed it up in my question.  The only other pertinent detail may be that I have switched computers?  I have already authorized this computer.
    Thanks!

    Hey Raffiecat,
    Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

    Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

  • I just upgraded my iTunes to version 11 on Windows 7.  I lost all my Playlists.  They are still on my iPod touch 1st gen, but not in iTunes.  How can I get them back?

    I tried importing the iTunes Music Library.xml file, however it just duplicates the default playlists already in iTunes.  The playlists are still on my iPod Touch, just not in iTunes 11.  Therefore, I cannot manage and organize any songs into the existing playlists.  I do not want to have to go through and manually create the playlists again.  Any suggestions would really be appreciated!!  Thank you!!

    Hello.
    I found my playlists.  They were never removed.  It appears that iTunes 11 shows them in a different place.  Which is kind of annoying.  Even more annoying trying to add purchased songs to the playlists on your iPod.
    - Click on the iPod button on the top right of your screen (beside the iTunes Store button)
    - Click Playlists along the middle of the top of the iTunes window
    There are the playlists from your iPod
    Kind of frustrating to add the songs, but the way I did it is:
    - Click on the song you want to add to your iPod playlist from your iTunes library
    - Click the arrow beside the song and select "Add to Up Next"
    - Go to your iPod playlists as per the above instructions
    - Click on the list icon in the same bar as the Apple icon on the top of the window (it is to the right of the apple     icon)
    - Now drag that song to the playlist(s) on your iPod
    I am sure there is a much simpiler way....I just dont have time to figure it out right now.  If anyone has any simpiler way of doing this, please reply!!

  • I have allowed my iTunes Match subscription to expire, because of a limited data plan so can't listen to music outside my house. My music files were removed from my computer and are inaccessible without renewing the subscription. How do I get them back?

    Hi,
    I presume you deleted the original files as match would not have done so. Do you have a back up. If so, restore your music from that. If not, your will have lost all your music as this needed to be on your hard drive when you unsubscribed.

  • ITunes Match subscription says expired

    I just got the iPhone 5 and I have iTunes Match subscription until July of 2013. So plenty of time left and I have it turned on on my phone and when I'm on wifi it seems to work fine but if I'm on cellular data after about 20-30 minutes of using it it says my subscription is expired and everything stop working. I haven't tried to call apple yet but it's extremely frustrating. Anyone know what's going on?

    Follow up...
    Okay, so after spending 2 hours on the phone and chatting on the computer with Apple, nothing got resolved.  I was extremely annoyed, and after I got off the phone, I ended up fixing iTunes Match myself.  This has got to be the easiest solution and I'm kind of annoyed with myself that I didn't try this sooner...
    Here's how:
    Restart the phone
    Open Settings--->Music
    Scroll down to iTunes Match (should be in the "Off" position) and turn it "ON".  HAHA...for some reason, it is working just fine now for me.
    I wish it was more complicated or makes me look smarter than I am, but it was just that I needed to reset and turn the feature back on.
    Hope this helps...

  • What will happen with matched songs if you cancel your iTunes Match subscription

    Does anyone here know what would happen to your nonpurchaced songs if you let your iTunes Match subscription expire?  Will they be removed?

    Hi CLaCour,
    I think the answer to your (and my) question can be found under 'a few iTunes Match questions'.
    bigturnip said once you download the matches that were made, they are yours.  You pay for imatch and for that you can choose to use them and download to device or Mac.  Once this is done, it becomes yours.  You dont have to use the matches that are made.  He also explains about what is used in the storage.  It the uploaded (unmatched) song whitch uses up the free storage from icload

  • Cannot Download Purchased Music After iTunes Match Subscription Expired

    The other day my iTunes Match subscription expired (making less money and decided to cut out the cost). I expected to not be able to access music I had stored on my computer (which was the only reason I did Match in the first place), but now, even songs I have very recently purchased using my phone are unavailable. I don't typically buy songs while on my computer, preferring instead to just use the iTunes app on my phone to make the purchases on the go. After purchasing them, I did not think they would not actually be downloaded to my phone. Anytime I try to re-download these songs, I receive a pop up notification stating when my iTunes Match subscription expired. Is there a way to get these songs to play on my phone without having to pay for iTunes Match again? I'm pretty unhappy about this because that was not how Match was advertised to function and don't feel we should have to pay a yearly fee just to be able to restore our purchases we made on the actual device.
    My phone is a 32 gb 5S running iOS 8.3.

    I've been having a problem similar to this. I click download, it charges me for it and then gives me a message saying there was a problem downloading, an unknown error occurred(-50), check the network connection to make sure it is active and try again. No firewall, no web accelator, network working fine for EVERYTHING else. I think this is because the iTunes servers are overloaded. It seems to have started once they put movies, tv shows, video games, etc. on the iTunes store. I would imagine the download time of these new services are much longer and more bandwidth taxing than the music they've been selling. I usually continue to try for the next few days, maybe trying during off hours to avoid the bandwidth traffic jams, and this SEEMS to help. Although, this is all pure speculation, it is what has worked for me. Still makes me consider paying more at Borders just so I CAN own it when I pay for it. Seems if you take my money I should get the product. Kinda sucky.

  • HT4914 Why can I not update my iTunes Match subscription from my iPad? Must I access from a PC?

    I have been getting emails syaing my iTunes Match subscription will expire soon and if I do not renew I will not be able to access my music on iCloud. Also, it says I cannot update my account from an iOS device. But I no longer have iTunes installed on a PC - I only access from an iPad or iPhone. What can I do?

    I always get an error message "Cannot update iOS software" or something to that effect everytime I try. I've tried plugging my iPad to my laptop computer and then my computer directly to internet connection (we have a router that allows WiFi access, so I thought I'd try to bypass the router instead), but this did not work.  I've tried restoring my iPad via connected to my computer through iTunes, that worked for a short time and was able to update the apps I wanted, but soon after one of the apps stopped working properly, and then the apps I wanted to get from the App Store just wouldn't install or load...Instead they would be having "Waiting..." for the longest time until I give up and delete them. I've tried restarting my iPad, no luck either.  I've also gone through the Reset process of "Erase All Content and Settings" i.e., Restore, and like mentioned above, it worked for a little while then it went back to square one, as I mentioned a sentence or two previously.
    I've no idea what is going on, why it's not working, or anything.  I just wonder if it's got anything to do with a slow internet connection (we don't have high-speed internet access), or something else I haven't found that may be just under my nose.
    I would love some help and input into my situation, all and any ways which allow me to keep my current iPad (which is the New Generation one), not having to trash it and replace it with a new one.
    Have you tried to restore as a new device? Maybe a glitch exists on the restored backup, try this:

  • JAR files will be expiring soon

    Any word on the service release to fix the pending expiration of the signed JAR files? I opened a service issue and you guys submitted a bug report. Since then there hasnt been a notice of a pending release or anything. This issue at hand is everyone using 4.2 will be getting a pop-up about Java not being trusted soon.
    Can someone speak to this pending problem?

    I want to be able to keep app's, music, movies and my Cloud/Match exactly the same.  How do I do this?
    Because of different local copyright laws and licensing you cannot keep everything exactly the same except for iCloud, which is not affected. You will have to create a new Apple ID for use on the UK iTunes Store with a form of payment drawn on a local bank and an address in the UK. As long as you have downloaded all your purchases and the computer is still authorized to play all protected video content that won't change, however Apps may give you trouble when updating because once associated with an Apple ID you can only switch between stores every 90 days.
    As for iTunes Match you must contact Australian iTunes Store support to cancel the subscription and you will have to resubscribe on the UK store.

  • How does Family Sharing work if both members have iTunes Match subscriptions?

    I wanted to add someone to my family sharing in the new iOS 8 but we both have separate iTunes match subscriptions. How are those two subscriptions effected if she is added to my family sharing or are the two match accounts merged? Any advice on this would be great.

    I'm still trying to figure out this family sharing thing, but I THINK the other person will still be logged in with their own apple id, so they would have access to their own iTunes match, and not yours.  I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to "family share" iTunes match.  Like I said, i'm still working on it, but so far on the one account i've set it up on, I didn't have to log that user out.

  • ITunes Match Subscription- what is this?

    Hello, aprarently we have an iTunes Match subscription and need to pay 24.95 Euros soon to renew this. I have no idea what this is for or what it does. If this is to use the iTunes store, then I would be unpleasantly surprised but maybe someone can advise to explain.
    (We have a me email account but that is all I am aware of need a subscription... perhaps that has morphed into the iTunes Match thing?)
