Problems with 'Purchased' Music showing up as 'Error' in Match

I'm mystified by one aspect of iTunes Match behaviour. I have a large collection of U2 songs, some of which I had ripped from CD and some of which, latterly, I bought through iTunes. As you can see, most of the songs I have were found and matched by iTunes without a problem.
What I don't understand is why I am seeing Error against the songs from 'No Line On the Horizon' and 'Zooropa' when these were purchased from iTunes. They are definitely in my Library because I can manually locate them.
Additionally, I don't understand why for two of the songs, Zooropa and Lemon, it wants me to download them again as 'Purchased'. Why those two and not the others with Errors against their name? I bought the No Line and Zooropa tracks from Apple to begin with.
Thirdly, it appears from the iTunes list above that I have two copies of Zooropa when in fact I only have one. I can easily find the files in Finder as you can see from the screen shot below.
I don't really want to have to re-download all the songs that iTunes can't find as this will mean I just have duplicates. Equally, I don't want to have to re-attach or re-import Error songs that I know are on my HD and which have somehow been dropped by the iTunes Match process.
And I get terribly confused in this process of syncing and matching if I try to delete some of these duplicate entries, because frankly if I delete something and it's removed from iCloud and all my devices, I'm no longer quite sure what I'm removing and where from.
I have backup but should it be this difficult?

It can become confusing.
An easy route to resolve would be simply to copy your U2 Songs to a standalone folder (outside iTunes). Delete the Song files from iTunes (including the option to remove from the iCloud). Once complete, turn iTunes Match off, go to the iTunes Store 'purchased' area and access all your U2 purchases. From the U2 folder import any further U2 songs that were not purchased from iTunes.
Now sign-out of iTunes Store, restart computer from cold, start iTunes, sign-in to iTunes Store, start iTunes Match and allow is to complete the 3-step process.
At this point iTunes will correctly recognise all your purchased Songs and for the remainder will have successfully 'matched' or 'uploaded'.
This should leave your library in a stable working condition, with iTunes Match enabled and all U2 Songs.

Problem with purchased music download

I have a problem that has only just manifested itself.
When I purchased a track yesterday the following error message appeared.
Unable to check for purchases. An unknown error occurred (5002)
Can any one please assist.
Thanks
Mesh Computer/ ipod 80 gig video Windows XP

Error 5002 is a timeout error.
- You may be trying to download at high traffic hours and your connection speed cannot handle it. (make sure you are using broadband)
- Your computer's firewall or antivirus software may be interfering with the connection. If you have just recently installed upgardes to the iTunes software or your computer's security software, you may need to reconfigure it to allow access to the iTunes appliction. If configuring does not work, you will need to disable the firewall completely and then attempt to resume the download.
Hope this helps!

Odd problem with purchased music from ITMS

Hi everyone. I purchased some songs on a friends computer via itunes with my account, but when bringing them over to my computer itunes asked me to authorize my computer. Any ideas? Thanks.

Starxedhearts
Although you bought them on your account, iTunes has attached them to your Friends account - being the machine you downloaded them on. Your options are:
1. Contact the iTunes Store and try and sort it out with them or
2. Burn the tracks to CD on your friends machine and then import them to yours.

Problems with Purchased TV Show

I purchased seasons 1,2, and 3 (Season 3 is still running so I bought the season pass) of NBC's The Office -- I bought them all pretty much at the same time so that they would download and I'd have them there in the morning. However, looking at the purchased episodes and downloads, I don't see all of the episodes from seasons 1 and 2 and even 3. I am REALLY scared that my money was wasted and that I lost a bunch of episodes. Will they appear or should I be really worried? If any clarification is needed on my situation in order to help me, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I figured it out =P

I am finding the ability to download previous purchases now shown on my iCloud account to be difficult. Music appears fine and most movies are OK but I have problems with all music videos included with album purchases. Any ideas?

Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
Dunno.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update. Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before. Help! Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update. The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing. Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating! I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

Having problems with my music player on my iPad with the new io7

Downloaded the new io7 on my iPad mini. Now I have problems with the music player not letting me download songs onto my iPad, then closing out the app. Then on iTunes it shows up in the downloads tab and comes up as an error and still won't download. At this point I'd rather have the old io6. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Problem with iTunes Music Playback

Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
Thanks
Mark

Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

I own an iPhone 4s come across a problem with syncing music to my phone.

I own an iPhone 4s and I have recently come across a problem with syncing music to my phone. Whenever I try to sync it, nine or ten songs get synced then the sync cancels. It only syncs the first song on each album but not for all of them, some of the albums don't sync at all. I have been dealing with this problem for a while. I have updated iTunes to the newest update and iOS 7 to the newest update.

Well, the fact is, you have a carrier locked iPhone...locked to Verizon, to be specific. The only way that phone will work is if it is first activated on Verizon's network. Once you do that, you can then request that Verizon unlock the sim slot. However, once Verizon unlocks the sim slot, I doubt you'll be able to get the phone to work with any GSM carrier in the US. The unlocking of the sim slot is done for International travel outside of the US.
If you want to use Straight Talk, your best bet is to sell this phone & use the proceeds to purchase an officially unlocked iPhone 4S directly from Apple.
Good luck.

I just don't understand whats wrong with it I also have it fully charged when I'm trying to put the songs onto it.
Can anyone help please?!!!

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
