One iTunes Match subscription, 3 devices

I subscribed to iTunes Match from my iPad. Now I want to turn on iTunes match from my mac mini, but it's telling me I owe another $24. That can't be right, can it? All of my music is on my Mini, so I now have no music available on the ipad or the iphone 5s. What's up with that? I want them all synched through Match. Thanks, ~Bond

You need to be signed into the iTunes Store on the device with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Tap sign out, then sign back in and you ought to be able to enable the service on the iOS device.

HT4913 iTunes match subscription and device association

I have recently purchased an itunes match subscription and I was able to associate it with my new ipad mini, but when I try to turn on itunes match on my iphone 5 and original ipad it won't work. I get an error message that says that I do not have a subscription to Itunes match. It references that I need to go to my computer. When I log on to my itunes account to manage devices, I can see the ipad mini, but not the phone original ipad. Any thoughts on why I can't get this to work? The iphone is latest iOS, but original ipad is only at iOS 5.1 (highest I can go with this ipad, but still compatible with itunes match).

Kate,
You may want to try signing out of the existing Apple IDs (as set up on the iPhone and iPad), then signing them back in.

If the two devices are still misbehaving, you might need to turn them off then back on, or reset them as necessary.

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:

HT4915 Why do I have to pay for iTunes Match subscription to delete songs I've previously purchased from iCloud?

From the support article, it seems that I have to pay for an iTunes Match subscription in order to permanently delete songs from iCloud. Is there a way to delete songs from iCloud without having iTunes Match?

You don't have to sign up to iTunes Match to play your iTunes music purchases through the iPad's Music app (if you've synced or downloaded them to the app). iTunes Match allows you to store your own music collection (e.g. copied from CDs, bought from other sites) in the cloud as well as the music that you've purchased from iTunes
From http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.

Changing country errors due to itunes match subscription

Hi guys,
Recently moved from Australia to Singapore, tried to change my iTunes Store countries to download local Apps but keep getting an iTunes Match subscription error.
Already turned off auto-renew and removed all devices for Match.
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks,
Phil

You'll need to contact iTunes Store support directly to actually cancel the iTM subscription. Be sure and ask them about any terms and conditions that might apply.

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.

How do i change countries without losing my ITunes Match subscription

I have moved countries and now the content i would like to use is in either one or the other. Iphone apps for my new country are not available in the old etc etc. When i go to change countries in Itunes i am told i will lose my Itunes Match subscription and therefore need to wait until my subscription is finished. 8 months away. is there any other way i can access both Stores in the meantime.?

No, there is not. Not at the same time. Also keep in mind that if you log out of the iTunes Store with iTunes Match associated with it, then log into another country store you will not be able to log back into the original store for 90 days.

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.

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

How do I change my iPad country back to the UK without cancelling my iTunes Match subscription?

When I was browsing iTunes yesterday on my iPad the country linked to my iPad switched to being the US.
I now can't use my iPad to shop in several uk stores.
I don't have easy access to the PC the iPad is linked to with iTunes. Also I don't actually want to cancel my iTunes Match subscription.

You can try signing out your Apple ID and signing back in at Settings > iTunes and App Stores
Or, if that doesn't work
Follow this procedure:
1. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID.
2. Tap your Apple ID.
3. Tap View Apple ID.
4. Enter your password.
5. Go to Country/Region in the popup window to change to the desired store.

While living in the UK during my 2 year visa, I downloaded Itunes Match. I have now returned home to Canada. I need now to change my billing information and my country/region in order to download any new music or apps.
In the Itunes Store under Account information i am given the option to change my country or region , when doing so I get this message " You have an active Itunes Match subscription; you must cancel it before you change stores."
I have the option to -do not renew-, but no where can I find to "cancel subscription" . Please help, I would like to use the App and Itunes store again. What do I need to do?

How do I move my iTunes Match subscription to another country

I subscribed to iTunes Match 2 years ago, when I lived in Australia, and have renewed it again recently. Part of this process was to match 25,000 music tracks which took weeks to complete. It also chewed through a huge amount of bandwidth.
I have now moved across the Tasman to New Zealand and have a new username and password for the NZ store. However, my iTunes Match tracks are only available under my old Australian iTunes account.
How can I move my iTunes Match subscription from Australia to New Zealand without having to upload/match all of my library again? Or have to pay another annual subscription?
Hoping someone can help me!

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.

My itunes match subscription will be expiring soon. Will I lose all my music, as they are threatening, if I choose not to subscribe again?

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.
