New feature in iOS 6.1 + iTunes Match + Car systems

I'm happy to see some great new features with iOS6.1 with iTunes Match when connected to my Audi MMI (music system).
Previously if you were a subscriber to Apple's iTunes Match offering, you were able to only see the music tracks that you had manually downloaded to your connected device - all the tracks that were available in the cloud (but not downloaded) were not visible via the Audi MMI.
With iOS 6.1, the MMI now displays ALL tracks in the cloud and you are able to select and play any of them via the MMI. This is a very welcome addition because now, you have your entire music library accessible while you drive.
Another surprising addition, is that you can also browse the tracks ON your device (which was previously blocked with an 'Accessory Connected' blocking screen.
This is a great new feature of iOS that makes an iPhone even more appealing when connected to your car system.
This most likely will work with the connected car systems in VW, BMW and other car manufactuerers. Please weigh in if you have a different car and you see this new feature.

It could be. I know that Last.fm recently released an iOS app that allowed you to play all your iTunes Match music from their app and it would scrobble the plays to thier service.
My Audi reads my iTunes Match library and will stream any song thru the car system. I'm sure since Sonos can see what's on an iDevice locally and play that music, and Last.fm can see all iTunes match music that Sonos should be able to read the larger library and stream whats requested to play - only time will tell.

[New Feature Requirement][iOS] StageText selectRange feature

Here is the feature request: Feature#3802934 - [New Feature Requirement][iOS] StageText selectRange feature
We need feature to select range in StageText field in iOS like with setSelection TextField method:
TextField - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
Now it's doesn't work for one line StageText field:
StageText - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
It said: "On iOS, for non-multiline StageText objects, this function is not supported and always returns -1. If you call this method selecting the complete text string, the selection is visible. However, if you call this method selecting a subset of the text string, the selection is not visible."
But it doesn't work even I try to selecting complete text string. Tested with iPad 4.
I'd like to ask everyone who interested in it to take a minute and vote for implementing this feature.
Thanks.

After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine. How do I get my music back????

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.

Can anyone direct me to a good overview of the new features of iOS 6 (I use an iPhone 4S) so I know what I've got and how to use it? Thanks!

HT4559 How do I get a list of the 200 new features for iOS 5

How do I get lists of the apparent 200 new features of iOS 5 for some reason I cannot find any in support on this website or anywhere!
Also I want a description of what each feature does. Mainly in safari but I'm getting a bit suspicious if any of the features exist. We pay our money there needs to be a list of what we get.

You mean for iOS 6 that was recently announced and won't be released until this fall?
If so, iOS updates are free - you won't be paying anything for it, and the same for iOS 5.
Apple has provided some of the new features included with iOS 6, but not list of all since iOS 6 has not been released yet. Some of the features included with the current iOS 6 BETA version may be removed or changed.

HT4913 I have 2 separate iTunes (one on my old PC and one on my new Mac) if I subscribe to iTunes Match will the 2 libraries be synced?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

How do you move an iphone from one mac to a new mac when both are using Itunes Match

I have an Imac (Mountain Lion) with two users sharing an Itunes account (Ver 11). We each have iphones syncing to the computer (and to icloud separatly). I have just activated Itunes match on the IMac and on both phones. I just bought a new MacBookPro and have activated Itunes match on it so I am sharing Itunes. Now, I want to move one of the iphones to the new MacBook and have it backing up to that computer instead of the Imac. How should I proceed with synching the phone with the new computer? How about the photos on the iphone? Will they just load into the iphoto library on my new MacBook Pro.
Also, can I still synch the phones manually and move over playlist from Itunes to the phone? I am assuming that when you turn off itunes match on the phone those playlists will be active. I want to make sure that say, when I am on a plane or have no wifi or cell, that I can still use the phone as an Ipod. With Itunes match you are streaming and always need a signal. There has to be a way to retain the simple music player functionality, right?

There's too much above for me to specifically answer your questions, but I'll assume from the title that you're basically trying to sync to a new computer. So here are some articles to help you.

Problems with iOS 6.1 iTunes Match

As an iTunes Match subscriber, I have enjoyed the ability to stream my music library from the cloud instead of having to download it to my iPhone. However, with the latest update (iOS 6.1) it appears it no longer works the same way. Instead, it appears as though I have to download my music. After I updated to 6.1, I went into my Music app and noticed that I now had the option to download individual tracks or whole albums--which is fine. It's nice to have that option back. However whereas I used to be able to select an album or track (even if it wasn't already downloaded) and 'stream' it without having to download it, I no longer had that option and all my music was grayed out. What's worse, upon discovering this, I went into Settings>Music and toggled off the 'iTunes Match' and 'Show All Music' options and then toggled them back on, thinking I just had to 're-set' my options. NOT SO! Now when I go back into my Music app, none of my music shows up!!!
So, is anyone else having this problem? If so, have you been able to find a solution?

Warning... Long and Thorough.
I've had iTunes Match for about a year, and I hate how I can't listen to anything but B sides on my iPhone, basically the music that *****, which really ****** me off. I have a commute that is more than an hour each way. If a song matches on iTunes, it greys on iPhone and I can no longer play it, except on my PC iTunes. The songs that don't match on iTunes, are basically the b side types that noone cares about, and that's all that's left. So I'll cue up a hot track to get me pumped up for work, and iPhone will display the track title briefly, then skip to a song it can play. So instead of the hot radio hits I want to hear I am forced to listen to celtic music, classic, or opera. It f'n *****. I hate iTunes Match. It does NOT do what it promised. I can't believe I paid Apple to f*** up my iPhone music library. I have a frigging 32GB phone with nothing but crap music on it. Music is my life, it gets me going. Only swear words can properly express what I'd like to say to the iTunes Match developers.
I have a new iPhone 4s 32GB as the speaker died Feb 2013 and Apple replaced the phone free under warranty. See my other posts for this lovely experience.
My MP3 music library is a mixture of ripped CDs, and tracks I bought in iTunes on the PC and iPhone. I don't do AAC or any format other than mp3. My iOS and iTunes software is always up to date. I am computer savvy, much more so than my peers. I have been reading this iTunes Match community board off and on trying to find a fix.
So I should be able to fix this myself, right? I tried a few things, but none of these worked. I'm posting hoping someone has a clue how to fix this.
Clicking on the Download to iCloud button on a problem album (using U2 - Boy as my example; where more than half the tracks are grey and unplayable), all that happened was the iCloud icon disappeared. For all steps I made sure in PC iTunes that all songs of this album were checked to sync.
Did a hard reset, and my iPhone still has greyed, unplayable music.
So next, connected to by wifi and by sync cord, in iPhone I turned off iTunes Match
- went to settings > iTunes and Apps Store
- signed out of my Apple ID
- and signed back in
- turned Match back on
and no change.
So next, connected to wifi and sync cord, I
- in iPhone, toggled off then back on all Music and iTunes Match options
- made sure Use Cellular Data was on and set iTunes to on
- turned off wifi, turned on cellular data
- searched for U2 by artist and clicked Download All
- the same songs are still greyed, and still unplayable
Normally I could just shut off iTunes Match for good, rerip my CDs, then sync the device, but this is not an option because
- I'm a Veteran, who moved across country last October to be closer to family, putting my house's contents into storage, including my hundreds of CDs. I found a new job (I'm an ER nurse) but it will take time to get back on my feet and move items from storage across country. Moving ain't cheap.
- the reason I got iTunes Match in the first place was for help accessing my huge music library, when it wouldn't fit on a 32GB. Since even early versions iPhone, I've known to uncheck less popular music so it won't sync, saving space, so it's not like that's a problem.
I'm good with technology, but I can't get this Match thing to work in my favor. Which ***** because my specialty is ER Psych. My patients are any combination of depressed, suicidal, homeless, substance abusing, self-overdosed, self-inflicting harm, under the influence, fighting with security, under a police warrant, threatening, psychotic, or my personal favorite, just plain BSC... Bat S*** Crazy. If anyone needs to get pumped up for work, it's an ER Psych Specialist. Match has let me down, big time. If ever there's a class action lawsuit citing 100% false advertising, count me in.

Ios 6.1 iTunes Match problems: (1) switch off (2) unplayable tracks

The new ios 6.1 operating system has reintroduced single downloads to iTunes Match but seems to have added some serious new problems:
(1) Switching off iTunes Match on the iPhone 4S seems to have no effect. The Music app still pulls from the Cloud. I've tried restarts etc.
(2) Many whole albums that had previously been successfully uploaded to iTunes Match and which were playable and downloadable on the phone before are now unusable. They show as bold listings in the track lists (ie they should be downloaded) and have no download arrows next to them. However when trying to play, the app just skips past them all without managing to play.
(3) The "skipping" past issue seems to be happening with a large number of other tracks, whether downloaded or not.

I have had no problems with iTunes Match, until I updated to 6.1, it seems to work fine on my 4s but on my 4th gen ipad certain songs in the cloud won't play, when I click on it, skips to the next song when it worked just fine in 6.0... I searched for the song in iTunes and it says "play", but when I click on it the screen either turns completely black, with just the date and time at the top, or it goes back to the music app and skips to the next track....weird.... And everything plays just fine on my 4S running 6.1

My new Mac doesn't recognize my iTunes Match account, asks me to register and pay again

I think the title says it all.
I used to have a Mac laptop, using the paid service iTunes Match for less than a year.
My computer broke down, so I bought a new Mac,
when I log in with my account at the iTunes,
it says that I have to pay and register for an iTunes Match account again.
It's like it doesn't remember that I already have one.
How can I solve this issue please?
Thank you

You need to log in to the iTunes Store with the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase the service.

Complete list of the new features in iOS 5?

Apple says the ios 5 operating system contains over 200 features. The apple web site lists some of these, and I coiunt about 16 features, or less than 8% of the over 200 new features. Anyone know where to find a list of the remaining 92% of new features? It bothers me to know that there might be things I could do with ios 5 but cannot simply because I do not know they exist.

Complete as I've seen:

Album artwork not on ios device after iTunes Match

Still figurng out this iTunes Match. after importing a CD, updating iTunes Match from my laptop, the songs will download to my ios device but not the album art.

Its frustrating i know but just wait for it to update it will eventually. Especially if you've updated a large number of items on match in one go. i just purchased match and updated 6777 items, they are slowly updating. Sit tight!!

If I get a new computer, can I download my music to that new computer from the cloud via iTunes match?

I just bought a new computer and was wondering if i authorize it, will it be able to download the songs I own if they're uploaded on itunes match. Thanks all.

If you call around, you might be able to find an apple authorized repair shop in your area that can offer to put pull the hard dive out of the old computer and put it into an external hard drive.

Audi Music Interface, iOS 6 and iTunes Match

Hello,
I have trouble finding out which songs are shown on on the Audi Music Interface when iTunes Match is being used.
The phone has been restored from backup, and previously did not use iTunes Match, so most of the songs that are shown in my Menu appear to be songs that I had synced beafore iTunes Match.
Also, all songs I buy with the phone appear in the car menu.
However, when I download a song manually, either by playing or by selecting to download the whole album, the song does not appear in the car menu
Can anyone help to resolve this riddle? Is this Apple's issue, or Audi's ?

I have the same problem with my Hyundai Sonata. If I try the wired connection (which then charges my phone too), only the songs downloaded to my phone appear in my music menu on the nav screen. However, I have found that if I just plug my iphone into the standard charger and then wirelessly stream from my match account, it works great. The only difference is that I have to use the phone to control the music menu, not the nav screen in the car. I don't know if your car has the ability to stream music, but if so give that a try.

New feature to ios 4?

I just realized that when I am listening to music and my screen is asleep, every time the song changes, the screen turns on for about 5 seconds to show the new song. Anyone else see this? Is this something new to ios 4? I don't remember this on my 3gs. I think its a cool feature.
Just wondering.

is the iP4 plugged in and charging during this time or is it sitting unplugged running off of battery?
I know mine dims a lot when it is plugged in and playing music. I think it might brighten back up when it goes to the next song and then dims again.
When it is unplugged though I am pretty sure it turns the screen off and you have to unlock it or do the double home button press to get the ipod controls to come up on the screen.
