Only partial songs are downloaded from Itunes Match

Only partial songs are downloaded from Itunes Match, they stop and go on to the next song. Any ideas?

I too had this issue. On the Downloads screen in iTunes simply uncheck the box at the bottom left that says "Allow simultaneous downloads". Next, delete any of the affected songs from your library and then re-download them from iCloud and songs should no longer abruptly cutoff or jump to the next song.

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

I would like to know if I can "join CD tracks" once they are downloaded into a playlist in my ITunes folder on my computer and/or how do you "join CD tracks" if you are downloading from iTunes itself. From the information through the "Help" menu, it seems you can only "join cd tracks" when you are in the process of downloading them from a CD onto your iTunes playlist?
.....any suggestions would help.

The help menu is correct.

HT4915 Mass download from iTunes Match to new Mac Mini

Is there a way to mass download from iTunes Match to new Mac Mini without having to click on the download icon for each song?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select them all and use ctrl-click to bring up the contextual menu with the download option in it.

TS1424 A song I downloaded from Itunes isn't complete...how do I get a refund??

A song I downloaded from Itunes isn't complete...how do I get a refund??

Other people have been having similar problems with incomplete sone over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I can't download songs in IOS6 from iTunes Match on my iPod and other complaints...

1) Since I upgraded, it takes like 15 minutes to view music from iTunes match onto my iPod, then has no "download" button like before. Instead, when I try to play a song it just DOESN'T PLAY. What a tease! Why is this like this?
While I'm on the subject,
2) Why does iTunes match replace explicit versions of albums I have with the clean versions? That *****! Is there a way around that, like, can I select a preference so all Beastie Boys songs are explicit? I'm 30 years old - I think I can handle the occasional cuss.
And finally,
3) How to you unsubscribe from this service? Too many complaints and not worth even $2/month.
I love Apple, but I have an iPod primarily to play music. If it is unable to perform that function, why make it? I've been a loyal customer for over 10 years and have purchased three laptops, an iPad, three iPhones, and had an iPod since they were introduced to the market. I also convinced my parents and say nothing bad about your company. Until now. Fix this, Apple, or this poor man will no longer justify spending money on your products.

Update:
How do you delete iTunes match? I clicked on "do not renew" or whatever from my account, but it doesn't expire 'till March 2013. I can't wait that long to listen to music. I turned "match" off on all my devices on my account and closed out all itunes and settings applications just like customer support told me to do after I waited an hour to talk to no one who could help.
My BRAND NEW iPod touch 5th generation is still having the same problem. I can only see what music I formerly had in my iTunes match account, but can't listen to any of it, including the 47 songs my library is supposed to have.
Come on, Apple. I really just want to listen to my music, unedited, on a device I hooked up to a computer with a USB cable.
Please help.

Download all songs onto macbook from iTunes match cloud.

I just bought a macbook pro, i would like to download all my music from itunes match onto my macbook but don't want to manually select the cloud for each song. Is there an easier way to download them all?

This is not the best or most efficent way to get your music onto your new Mac. The best way is to copy all your personal content from an origional computer or backup archive. These Apple KB articles can help you:

If you insist on downloading from the cloud simply highlight all the tracks you want, right-click, and choose "download."

HT204406 Downloading from iTunes Match.

I am trying to download one of my albums from iTunes Match, and only some of the songs are downloading (yes, I clicked download all). The songs show the circle as if it's going to download, but then the "Cloud" icon reappears, and the download begins with the next song. I have tried deleting the album and starting over, but that doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this? Happens when I try Cellular Data or just Wifi.
Thanks!
Sean

Yes it will use data on your cellular plan unless connected to wi-fi.

HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

High CPU usage when downloading from ITunes Match

When attempting to download matched songs from ITunes Match, ITunes utilization spikes to over 70% and makes it almost impossible to do any other function on the computer. Eventually ITunes fails to respond. I have tried several remedies including reseting winsock. Is there any other options I should try?

Hiya,
could it have something to do with the write speed/ cache/ram? On a "slow" disk, or one that is nearly full or one that is partitioned, it will take a great deal more ram and cache to "digest" the faster download and write it onto disk. I tend to do downloads to a separate drive. Have you got one? and can you repeat the high CPU usage when downloading / saving to the external drive? I note your drive might have 5,400 rpm, with "just" 8mB cache and 320 GB (quite a few SATA's have 7,200 rpm and 32 mB cache).
NB: If anything, I found SL more efficient, especially on my 4 year old Macbook, which is running much faster and has got more responsive after installation of (full version of) SL.

HT204406 Getting "Unknown Error" Check internet connection when downloading from itunes match

I recently uploaded all of my songs from my PC to the itunes match cloud. I was able to sucessfully download a few songs last night. Now when I try to download the songs I get an "unknown" error and to check my internet connection. I have confirmed that my internet connection is working because I am able to access outside websites. I'm not sure where to go from here. any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

There are many versions of this song in the UK Store. If you contact Apple from the iTunes section of the website (make sure you have the purchase details to hand), they should credit you so you can purchase another version of the song.
When you contact them, mention the problem file so they know to pull it.

Error -42023, song stopped downloading from itunes

I bought a movie soundtrack and only the first half of the songs were downloaded. It looks like the rest are fully downloaded because all of their statuses say 6.9 MB of 6.9 MB or 11.2 MB of 11.2MB. Except they all also say "stopped-err = -42023". And whenever I press "Resume Download" nothing really happens and I get a pop-up that says "There were some problems downloading some purchased items". It then suggests to check my internet connection--there is no problem with the internet connection. I did everything the iTunes help told me to do and nothing has worked. I even tried restarting my computer and buying the soundtrack again, but for the second time, the download stopped halfway through.
help?

May be this article can be of some help:

If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Lost songs after downloading from itunes

Hi,
I have gotten overly frustrated and decided to not use itunes for the last couple of months because of it! In July, I lost my itunes library when my hard drive crashed. I emailed itunes then and they told me how to get back the majority of the songs I had bought from itunes. I did these steps and found that I was still missing a great deal of bought itunes songs and albums. Some examples are albums by Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, and James Blunt. I did make a back up disk at one point of my itunes but I was not able to retrieve the songs off of this either. Now my itunes has the songs I was able to download back in July and a ton of broken links to all my other songs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you

I would call Apple back, explain to them that you are very upset, and if that doesn't help, tell the Apple Customer Service people that your friends are hearing about the bad costumer service at Apple (because of this particular issue) and now you are recommending that they get a PC instead of buying a new Mac. I think that will do the trick! Don't forget the part about recommending to your friends to buy a PC instead of a new Mac, that will be the selling piece!
Hope it helps,
Brandon
