No complete albums on the cloud

Hi
After about 12 hours, iTunes said it had completed matching my library. However, when I go to my iPhone I find that not one album has been uploaded in it entirety; most are showing just three or four tracks. What's more, some albums don't appear at all.
What can I do to rectify this, please?
Phil

Thanks, it was the fact that I didn't have 'show all music' checked. This is actually a useful option as, if you set it to Off, it lists just the tracks downloaded to the iPhone.
I also found that turning iTunes Match on doesn't actually delete existing music - it's still there which is why I was getting incomplete albums listed. I decided to have a fresh start and deleted everything from the iPhone by turning off Match and then turning off Sync Music in iTunes during the next sync. I was then able to download the music I wanted on iCloud.
Hope this helps others.
Phil

I have bought complete albums in the past... Now that I am trying to download them from the cloud, some songs no longer appear in My Purchases... How can/do I retrieve them?

Do those tracks still show on the album in the store ? If not then the rights-holder must have removed them, in which case you won't be able to redownload them, you will have to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library. If they are still on the album in the store then check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

TS1718 I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

HT204406 Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

Is there any way to get an ipod to display only complete albums in the albums list?

Sounds like there is some discrepancies in the tagging in iTunes. See this page for more information.

HT204406 Why am I having trouble accessing complete audiobooks from the cloud.

Why am I having trouble accessing complete audiobooks from the cloud.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you will need to sync them to the iPad from your computer's iTunes if you want them in its Music app

HT204406 Why is it that when I play albums through the cloud on my iphone they play in the wrong order, this has happened not every time, but with alarming regularity?

I have just been listening to an album on my iphone through the cloud, and noticed that the album was playing in an odd order, and whe I tried to adjust to play the album from the beginning again it still took me to what seemed a random track next, and this happened consistently, seems odd heh? ANy clues?

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

HT204406 Why can i not download some albums from the Cloud but others work

I was trying to download some albums to my IPod when I cam across a few albums within my cloud which say content not available for download?
Can someone please help with this issue. After I put my entire collection in the cloud I have packed all my CD's away and i really do not want to have to go through all the boxes to find the albums that fail.
This download also fails on my PC.
Version numbers for you

Do you have an Apple ID Account set up through the iTune Store? You need to have an account before you can download anything from the App store.
Good Luck

No artwork for albums in the cloud

I have a mac which hasn't got my music stored locally but I use iTunes match to play almost all my music however hardly any albums are showing any artwork. The artwork is present on my phone and gets downloaded straight away if I download a song from a particular album.
I've tried the Library > Get Album Artwork but that only gets artwork for locally stored songs. Anyone know how I can get the artwork to show? My albums view on iTunes is looking pretty dull.
Thanks

Hi Pete,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like album artwork is missing from some tracks or albums on your iPhone, and the music was downloaded from your iCloud library. The article linked below has a lot of great suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one you’ve described.
iTunes Store: Troubleshooting iTunes Match
Some songs or albums are missing artwork
If some songs or albums downloaded to an iOS device from your iCloud library are missing album artwork, try the following:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version for free.
Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu, choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
Once iTunes has completed processing the album artwork, you'll need to update iTunes Match.
From the iTunes menu, choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
Once iTunes Match has finished updating, launch the Music app on your iOS device.
Locate the songs or albums that are missing artwork, and delete them from your device by swiping left or right over a song. To delete an album, swipe left or right over the album on iPhone or iPod touch. To delete an album from iPad, tap and hold on the album cover until you see the delete button or "X" in the upper-left hand corner of the album cover. Tap the "X" to delete the album.
After you've deleted the song or album, download the item again from your iCloud library by tapping on the download icon.
I hope this helps.

Some of my albums in the cloud are not transferring to my iPhone

I am using Itunes Match but some of my library albums which show they are in the ICloud are not available on my Iphone. Itunes Match "matched" them okay (which I would expect as they include popular albums such as 'Oasis - Definitely Maybe') but when I go to my library via my Iphone they are not there (yet the rest of the Oasis albums are.) Does anyone know how to rectify?

Yes a number of times but the albums still not there. I also tried deleting the album from my mac drive so it is only in the cloud and I still cannot get it on my phone.

I deleted the U2 album and I hid the album in the cloud, how can I get it back

I was having problems opening the booklet so I deleted the entire album from my library and clicked on "hide this from the cloud" now I can't find it at all.... it never showed up in my purchased file either... help!

You should be able to unhide it by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
You should then be able to download the album and its booklet via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - downloading the booklet from there should work, when I downloaded it via the Music part of my library I got a corrupt message when trying to open it.

IPhoto Albums on the cloud

I have created an album. I shared it with one person, but then wanted to go back in and share the same album with others. Each time, I had to create a NEW photo stream of the same photos. I now have SIX photo streams of the same album.
I tried adding a person to an album already in the cloud, but it didn't go anywhere.

If I go to one of the many photostreams I've created for the wedding photos I want to share, and hit "share", it tells me to import to my library. So I did that. I click on the album I want to share in my library, then hit "share", then "iCloud", and it comes back to the many photo streams I've created. I touch one of those, and it says, "do you want to publish these photos to the photo stream "sarah's wedding"? I can either cancel or publish. But I've already published, over and over again. Why can't I just send the photo stream I've already created 4 times?
For the first time ever, I think that Google Drive might be easier to deal with than iPhoto, as far as sharing.

Cannot download an album from the cloud.

Purchased a hunters and collectors album recently, but none of the tunes in the album will download to my devices from the cloud. It appears to affect only this purchase. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to sign out of the iTunes store and then to sign in again?

If i want to gift a friend an album but he already has some of the songs, will itunes charge me for the complete album, or the 'complete my album' price?

I'd like to gift a friend an album, but he already has most of the tracks. So I was wondering if itunes would charge me for the complete price of the album or the 'complete my album' price.

You will be charged for the entire album. The Gifting feature is not recipient-specific, so it would have no way to know that a particular recipient you might be sending to would already have the album. Why not just gift the songs you know your friend doesn't have?
Cheers,
GB
