Question about icloud and itunes match

when icloud comes out i know i can download all my purchased music on my apple id but i purchased most of my apps and music on an old apple id , my question is if i use itunes match are those apps and songs assosiated with my new apple id so when i backup from iCloud my old music and apps are there too. In pretty sure my music will work with itunes match but what about my apps?

Itunes match has not been release so it is hard to know.
Just sign into your old account and use icloud.

I have a tricky question about metadata and iTunes Match!

Hi,
Here's my question:
I have purchased some content from the iTunes Store, most of it classical music (although that's not so relevant for my question). The Store metadata is generally poor, so for every purchased item I changed the metadata to suit my tastes (for example, all albums by J.S. Bach have "Bach" as artist, instead of the performer, which is the default in the iTunes Store).
I have read some nightmare stories about metadata reverting to the original iTunes Store metadata, when subscribing to iTunes Match.
I have also understood that iTunes Match does not change the metadata stored locally on my HD.
So here is my question, which is twofold:
1) Say I bought a song by the artist "John" on the iTunes Store. On my library, I changed the artist field metadata to "Jeff". Now, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Naturally, it will match my song to the one on the Store. On my iPhone, will my song appear under "John", or "Jeff"?
2) In the same setting, after subscribing, will I still find this song under "Jeff" on my local library? In other words, what will change in my Desktop experience with iTunes?
If having bad metadata when browsing my music on my iPhone is the price to pay for having all my music at my disposal anytime, I won't mind. But if iTunes Match messes up all my hard work getting my library just right on my Desktop, then I have to pass.
Can you guys help me make a decision?
Thanks,
Paulo

Thanks,
Here is what another user got on https://discussions.apple.com/message/23028717#23028717 :
"I can say that when my spouse gifted me with iTunes Match it was a disaster for my music library. It's all classical, and I also standardized names of composers, performers especially when there were multiple ones, and a ton of other stuff. Whatever matched, iTunes just upped and erased that, and used the title, artist, and whatever else from the store."
This is *exactly* what I don't want to see happening! However, I could not find any other reports of what he describes. What do you think?

I have mulitple copies appearing on my ipad after using icloud and itunes match, how do I get only 1 copy to appear?

I am new to the Ipad, I just got the Ipad with retina display in and only have a 16gb memory. I wanted to use Icloud for my music and other items, but when I started using Icloud and Itunes match, my Ipad has up to 3 of the same song listed on the song list. and will repeat when I am listening to my music. I was wondering how I can get those multiple copies go away to just 1.

ICloud and iTunes match

Have an iPhone4 and iPad2 both with all latest updates. Also using iCloud and iTunes Match.
What is the best way to set these up? I don't need music on either device but noticed my entire iTunes library on both devices. I really don't need music on either device except what I choose for each. Noticed my phone close to needing more storage, so I tried to swipe and delete albums but nothing happened. I went to the music icon and deleted everything which showed no data. Then selected the music icon at bottom of phone and all the music is still there.
I also backed up the phone and iPad on iCloud but nothing shows on iCloud.
What is suggested? Should I back these up to iCloud or to themselves or even iTunes? ITunes Match allows access to iTunes library in ICloud but checking iCloud I don't see an iTunes library or iPhone in iCloud. Perhaps I don' need iTunes Match?
Need some guidance on the best way to set things up and what some of you have done. Also how do I delete the music on the phone with what I described earlier.
Thanks
Don

iCloud and itunes match are different services. iCloud really has no impact on iTunes match. When you set up itunes match, I assume your itunes music library was synced up to the match cloud. You other devices list all the music but don't have it physically on the device until you download it.
You might post over at the itunes match forum where users there are more knowledgeable than most here.

Music on iCloud and iTunes Match

I currently have both iCloud and itunes Match for all of my music files. Since I was traveling to a country with limited WiFi access, I decided to dowmload most of my music onto my iPad so I could access it...which exausted most of my storage capacity (64 GB). I would now like to reverse this process, removing my music from from my iPad capacity back to iCloud/Match...which made my music available but didn't use up my storage...HELP !

Hey C Speechly!
Here is a link that should be able to help you accomplish this:
iTunes Match - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f373c1
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Remove iPad from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices. In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.

Using iCloud and iTunes match, should I still wirelessly sync with my computer iTunes?

Using an iPhone 4 with the latest updates. I keep getting an error message syncing over my wireless network that says "Cannot sync phone. There are too many files open" from iTunes on my compter. Should I turn off the wireless syncing now that I'm using iCloud and iTunes Match?
There are 4 iPhones that are using this feature on our network, plus AppleTV 2.

Even though you have iTunes match and iCloud, there are several other types of media that aren't included in either of the services, such as movies, photos etc, if you aren't syncing any of these to your phones, then you may well be able to turn iTunes wifi sync off.
Personally, I would want to find the cause of the error message and use the iTunes sync for backup, I consider it far more reliable and convenient than iCloud for back up

ICloud and iTunes Match forced me to create a new account?

I've always used one account to login and purchase from iTunes. It was just a username, DAVEINLA. With this recent migration of MobileMe to iCloud, I believe I have two logins. When migrating I tried using the daveinla account and it said that the account name should be your MobileMe e-mail address. It didn't seem to create any problems, until I turned on iTunes Match on my iPhone, it says I've not signed up for iTunes Match. I believe it's because I purchased iTunes match with my original DAVEINLA account.
So now I have:
iTunes Match on my DAVEINLA account
iCloud on my e-mail account
What do I do so I can use iTunes Match and iCloud on my phone?
Any help would be appreciated. I contacted support and they gave me a curt "you cannot merge two Apple ID accounts". Really? Then you shouldn't have forced me to create one with the mobileme to iCloud conversion!

ICloud and iTunes Match with different Apple IDs

I won't bore you with how it happened, but I ended up with two AppleID accounts using two different email addresses, one for iCloud (upgraded from MobileMe) and one for iTunes. I enabled iTunes Match before realizing this, and now my iPhone and iPad won't work with iTunes Match. If I change the iPhone/iPad to use the iTunes account, I don't have iCloud. Can I merge two accounts? Or is there a way to change my iTunes Match to the same account used for iCloud?
Help!

I tried doing this because I have the same problem, but I can't log in to iCloud with my regular apple ID. For some reason it needs to be an email address. Any other ideas?

I have 4 ipods 4th gen and want to know if one program to purchase through apple to share the music I've purchased on all of them. Is it the icloud AND itunes match?

I have 4 ipods all 4th gen and want to know if one program is available to purchase through apple to have all music I've purchased can be used on all of them. Is it a combo of both itunes match and icloud?

You don't need iTunes Match to have your music in all your devices. iTunes Match is for getting music that you've purchased elsewhere into the cloud. All you need to do is set up each of your devices to your iTunes Store account. You can then download things you've purchased by going to the Purchased section. See:

Question about iCloud and mail

I totally do not understand all of this iCloud stuff. I hope you can help me. I have a .mac account that I know can be pushed to the Cloud. In the Mail Program I have two other accounts with different providers. One is an IMAP and the other a POP account that I understand can be changed to an IMAP account. I get e-mail from all three accounts in Mail. Is the Cloud only for .mac or me accounts? Will my other accounts be in the Cloud as well? If not, will I still be able to read my e-mails in Mail on both my computer and iPad? Also if I switch over to iCloud, does every device have to be synced the same way? I have a Nano and iPad. I do not want my music synced to my iPad. I only want it synced to my Nano. Will I never be able to sync with iTunes once I switch to the Cloud?

I understand about the POP account. Will the .mac account and my other IMAP account show up separately as two different accounts in iCloud as they do in Mail or will they be merged together? Will I even be using Mail to view my e-mail? I never attached my two other accounts to my .mac account. They remained separate accounts and were viewed separately in Mail. I have had my .mac account for several years and know that I will lose it if I do not convert over to iCloud by the end of June. I mainly used it for Mail and the iDisk. I have an iPad, Nano and iMac. If I can still sync my IPad and Nano via iTunes, is it worth all of the trouble people are having with iCloud to convert over to it? I do not use ICal and have a very small address book. Will I be okay with what little I have or would it just be better to let go of my .mac account and not merge over to iCloud at all or will i eventually be forced to do it? I also have another iMac that is running Snow Leopard. I am sorry I am so ignorant about this. I just don't understand it all.

HT1386 i have an ipod and an iphone, both have music from different times and accounts. I cannot sync my ipod to my newest account without losing all my music.. i have purchased icloud and itunes match hoping one of these options could help..

I have a question about downloading and itunes on TWO computers.

Where I work I have really fast internet, perfect for downloading movies, etc. At home, in the sticks, I have slow internet. Is there any way to rent/buy media on my work computer itunes (Win) to take home (say on my iPhone) and sync with my Mac iTunes?
Thanks!

Hmm, not sure this will help, but let's try...
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.

Iphone 5 very slow, how do I remove music? Im using the icloud and itunes match.

The phone locks up and restarts on its own now. Hard to navigate with it because its very slow.
Already did a backup and restored it from the backup. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Super Scout,
There are a few different reasons this could be happening, and it sounds like you're on the right track to isolating the issue. However, it would be very helpful to go one step further and Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support. This will completely wipe everything off the phone (including the iOS software itself) and install a fresh, clean copy of iOS, just in case there is a corrupt file in there giving you the trouble. After reinstalling iOS, set the phone up as a new iPhone temporarily to test the issue and see if it is still happening. If so, there may be a hardware issue with the device. Hopefully that isn't the case -- if the phone runs smoothly when set up as new then it means there was a corrupt file in the operating system or that there is something in your backup (possibly a third-party app) causing the issue. After testing the iPhone set up as new, go ahead and restore the phone from your backup and see if the issue comes back. If so, you may want to contact Apple Support to see if their diagnostic test helps narrow down which apps are contributing to the issue.
Good luck!
