New to iTunes Match

How do I know for sure my songs really stored on the iTunes Match I just subscribed to so I can delete the songs off of my iPhone so I can free up space?

Hi,
Once iTunes Match has completed its scan of your iTunes library on your computer, you go to song view and add iCloud status column. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been matched, purchased and uploaded. If status is waiting the tracks are not yet in the cloud. It will also tell you what are duplicate or ineligible.

So what's really new in iTunes Match 10.52?

10.52 was released today, and I've installed it. I was hoping it would deal better with a bunch of albums I've imported where it can match some of the songs, but not all of them. I actually logged it, and will put it in another post. But my initial tests don't show any differences.
So what actually IS different in iTunes Match 10.52? As someone who uses this, I'd like to know.

Eric is correct. The link is to a page that shows what's new in 10.52, The very first paragraph states:
About iTunes 10.5.2
iTunes 10.5.2 includes several improvements for iTunes Match and fixes an audio distortion problem when playing or importing certain CDs.

Yes, folks have gotten refunds even though the TOS says all sales are final. You'll need to contact iTunes Store support and politely make your case that you're just not satisfied with the service.
I've got kind of a radical suggestion, if you want to try it. In cases like you describe a full OS restore, then setting the iPhone up as a new device can fix all these little glitches. It is a lot of trouble, I know, but if you do want to use the service this is one method that should clear it all up for you.
Thank you, it's good to know that Apple does offer refunds. I want it to work, if it does what I would like the $25 would be more than worth it.
I thought clearing my music and starting up iTunes Match with an empty music library might do the equivalent of a full reset... I can't say I really feel like doing that, and I'm skeptical it would clear up all of the issues I've had (play counts, play lists, album art, data usage when I told it to bloody well not use the data).
Thanks for the input!

Is there a way to copy music that was downloaded from cd's from i pod to new computer itunes account

changed computers and now trying to get music from itune account that was downloaded from cd's but not showing in itunes on new computer.

iTunes Match will do that for you, turn it on in the Store menu (in iTunes). It's $25 per year.

How to tell if iTunes Match is making progress?

I am new to iTunes Match. I am trying to sync my library of 10K songs. I have tried a few times already. Right now, it is over 12hrs on step 1. How long is this supposed to take? I am a patient man, but geez! Any input would be appreciated.

Well, that is not out of line. Close and reopen if you must, wont hurt anythng.

If I upgrade my iTunes version AFTER using iTunes Match, will everything still be saved (in the cloud)?

New to iTunes Match, using it in hopes of freeing up disk space. Haven't had enough room to update iTunes to the most recent version that came out with iOS7, and now that I finally have enough space to upgrade iTunes, I'm worried my iTunes Match music will be wiped or that I'll have to start all over again.
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Do make sure that you have a suitable back up before deleting tracks from your computer. Read this https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112.
Updating to the latest version will not wipe itunes match music and you will not need to start all over. It is not usual for updates to cause problems but it alway good practice to maintain a back of all your music.

Sharring iTunes Match

Hello All... I am new to iTunes Match. I've imported a bunch of CD's and it works great on my iPhone but I just got married and it doesn't work on my wife's iPhone because she has a different Apple ID for her phone. My question is: How do I change the Apple ID on my wife's iPhone 4 so her phone can become on of the 10 devices allowed to share my iTunes Match account? I know it's probably not hard to do, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

I Just rebooted my phone and it reloaded my music.

HT204074 2 itunes match accounts on same computer

My wife and I just purchased our first iMac (yay us).
We set it up with 2 user id's, both administrator, and began personalising our profiles. She set up her music match on her profile and I discovered that when i logged in under my profile and tried to do the same with my seperate account music match account that I could not. I got a message saying that the device was already associated with another music match id. What can I do, I would have thought that it would be a relatively simple thing to associate two seperate accounts with two seperate profiles, not so I guess.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi dpscannell,
Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your new iMac.
iTunes Match can only be applied to one Apple ID on one authorized computer.
iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
It sounds like your best bet to access all of the music between your two user accounts is to use Home Sharing.

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

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.

ITunes Match won't recognize my MBA equipped with a new SSD

Hi,
Here's the situation: I replaced the SSD in my late 2010 MBA to add storage space. Everything went perfectly well and I have been using it for weeks, no problem whatsoever with any of my iCould stuff - calednar entries, contacts etc. as everything was transferred over by making a back-up of the old SSD onto the new one and re-instlaling Mavericks to the new one.
I also have been using iTunes Match for years and love it: ATV, IOS devices are all connected and work perfectly. Until I tried using iTunes Match on the MBA equipped with the new SSD. Note that my iTunes music (not the library file) sits in an external drive connected to my Home network which I don't currentl have access to. That's also teh reason why I signed up for Match: once synced, I didn't have to connect to tht drive and could travel while still having access to all my music.
The library only sees two local songs that were downloaded recenrly after I purchased them on the iTunes Store. I'm still using the same Apple ID nothing changed, but iTunes isn't showing any of my iTunes Match songs in there. I checked Match had been turned on (it is), I checked that I didn't max out on the number of devices (I haven't) and even checked availability of iTunes Match in other countries (temporarily in France), but otherwise residing in the US.
So now, when I try to "add this computer" to iTunes Match, it gives me the following error:
Only one library can be matched at a time. If you continue, the other iTunes Match session will be stopped and this computer's library will be matched instead.
=> Seeing that the "old" library and the "new" one technically come from the same Mac (only now it has a new SSD drive), I'm at a loss and scared to have all of my previously synced/matched songs deleted from itunes Match if I only sync the two local files that were just downloaded/purchased. <=
Would appreciate any help or suggestions please.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900 songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

I have updated my Mac, Iphone 5 and iPad to iOS 7 successfully - however , the iTunes match will not go from my laptop to my other two devices today_ I bought new songs and created a new play list on my laptop but they don't appear on my iphone or iPad

I have updated my Laptop, iPhone 5 and iPadto the new ios 7, however since this was installed on all these devices, when i Purchase mucic on my laptop and create a playlist, the Itunes match is not showing the new music purchases or new playlists on my iphone and ipad- can someone help me out with this?

I can see a extremely slow download of one at a time of the remaining songs. Very disappointed in iTunes, should not take 24 hours to retrieve songs!!!

I can't access my new playlist on my iPhone 4s when using iTunes Match

I recently spent 5 hours combing through my entire digital music collection to compile a playlist of all the songs I want to hear right now. It is 696 songs and 1.7 days long. Both my iTunes on my computer and my iPhone 4s have the latest version of the available software. I cannot see or listen to my new playlist on my iPhone. I have done the following (with no success):
1) I have updated iTunes Match.
2) I have powered off and powered on my iPhone
3) I have disable and re-enabled Match on my iPhone.
4) I have disable Match on my iPhone, connected my iPhone to my computer via a USB cord, transfered my playlist that way, then re-enabled Match on my iPhone. Still, I do not have access to my playlist. While this did have the desired the affect of putting the playlist on my iPhone, I then could not download the songs that were in the playlist onto my iPhone without Match or performing the laborous task of transfering each song individually via the USB cord. Not to mention the fact that I play for Match and expect it to work.
5) I have disabled Match on my iPhone, powered off and powered on my iPhone. Then, I re-enabled Match on my iPhone.
None of these actions have resulted in the desired occurance. I have read through the community and when I find someone who said they have fixed the problem, the person either has a minimal grasp of the English language and I do not understand that person or I have already completed the action that the person recommends.
I feel as though, since I pay for this service, that iTunes, i.e. Apple, should address my problem directly, rather than rely on the support of a community of people who are up the same creek, lacking a tool for forward momentum.
I somewhat feel as though I, and all others in a like-situation, should receive a refund for Match or, at the very least, some sort of compensation for time during which it has caused problems.
Additionally, I refuse to ever purchase an apple product again. They are not the company of quality that they used to be and we are all now just paying top dollar for an subpar product.

Additionally, when trouble shooting, and you disable iTunes Match on an iOS device you cannot simply re-enable it immediately. You must launch the Music app and let the content clear out before re-enabling the service.
