Reactivate ITunes match on windows 8

Everytime I start my windows 8 System, I have to reactivate Itunes match to play my Music. It shows all songs but I am not able to play them. Up to now, I have no problems on my Windows 7 system.

You can use the iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields to determine which Song is causing iTunes Match to stall.  Post backup, temporarily removing such Songs will allow the process to complete.  Often converting the offending Songs to 256 kbps AAC with iTunes tools will allow you to 'match' or 'upload'.

  • Can't get iTunes Match on Windows

    Has anyone ever been able to get iTunes Match on Windows?
    According to information from Apple it is possible.
    According to my real life experiences, it is NOT possible.
    I'm using this URL:
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Clicking on the "Subscribe..." button opens up iTunes and then pops up this dialog:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    Yeah, well, I tried it again. I tried on a Windows XP machine, I tried it on a Windows 7 machine, and on a Windows 8 machine. All freshly installed. Same results on all machines.
    I emailed Apple support, they gave me standard replies like  "Restart your router" and "Check your firewall".
    I reeeally don't think that's the issue here. My servers have been running web, ftp, mail, games, and a BUNCH of other services 24/7 for years. It's what I do. It's what I've done for 20 years.
    Is there anyone that can give me a real answer?
    Best regards,
    J.

    Hi there
    I did as you suggested, step by step and I still have exacly the same problem. 
    When I click on "Store", "Turn on iTunes Match", iTunes crashes and I constantly get an error message "iTunes has stopped working".
    This problem is still there despite upgrading to the latest version of ITunes for Windows.
    Any other ideas?

  • I can't reactivate iTunes Match after accidental deactivation

    I can't reactivate iTunes Match after accidental deactivation, because of 25000 Song Limit. What can i do? Worked fine before

    You can hide iTunes purchased songs from the cloud via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    iTunes Match isn't available in all countries, and you need iOS 7+ to be able to subscribe to it on an iPad - and you can only upload your own music to it from a computer's iTunes, not from the Music app on an iPad

  • ITunes Match on Windows 7 64 iTunes 12.01.26 -  please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.

    Hello,
    ever since I have match I had this error each time I reopen Itunes on my Laptop Win7 x64.
    I need to logoff from the strore, log in again and reactivate Match each time I need it. Very annoying....
    Has anyone had this error and found what was the root cause? I would like to have Match activated once and for all like it should be....
    Regards,

    After many annoying sign-in-out-iTunes-match-activation problems I found an easy solution for me. When the iTunes Cloud symbol is broken (and I should sign in again) I just deactivate my notebooks (Windows 7) Wifi (with Fn+F5 for my Thinkpad).Then I call up the Itunes store and iTunes tells my that there is no connection to the internet (most probaply this step is not necessesary). After manual re-activation of my Wifi iTunes seems to re-establish the connection and the Cloud symbol signalizes that iTunes match does work, again.
    Hope, this helps.

  • Conflict between iTunes Match and Windows 8.1

    I have been running iTunes on my fully updated Windows 8.1 PC for some time, without any particular issues. A few days ago, I activated iTunes match. It worked just fine, in the perspective of my iPhone and iPad. However, my PC stopped being responsive: Long time-outs on just about anything, and dialog windows refusing to appear (one of them being the McAfee console ....). A virus search using Microsoft's emergency services showed nothing.
    The moment I de-activated iTunes match, everyhing reverted to normal.
    My conclusion is, there is a major conflict between whatever the iTunes match service does, and the Windows 8.1 operating system.
    Any idea what this is all about, and if there is anything I can do about it (except avoiding using the match functionality)?
    I have the latest update of iTunes for PC.

    Hi lars1950,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing issues with Windows responding slowly since enabling iTunes Match. The article below may resolve the issue for you, it describes possible conflicts with Layered Service Providers and how to prevent them.

  • Cannot load iTunes Match onto Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Loved the idea of iTunes match and was eager to be able to have solid backup across my PC's and my phone. My XP computer was able to get through the process with no glitches. However my Windows 7 Home Premium PC crashes when attempting to access Genius, iTunes Match, and occasionally the iTunes strore itself. Have tried the multiple downloads of the 10.5.1 64 bit version, clean install etc...anyone find another option??

  • Icloud & itunes match for windows users

    Hi I need a little help I want to purchase the itunes match but have some reservations hoping to get answers. I have read through some of the post for answers and here are my remainng questions. Thank you in advance for your help
    I have 160gb ipod classic and I use windows 7 on my pc & laptop. I want itunes match so that I have exact matching itunes libraries on both devices and it seems as itunes match and the icoud can do that right?
    I want access to all of my music and not just my itunes purchases everywhere I sign on, Is this possible even though I am not using iphone, ipad or a mac?
    Is the $24.99 something I purchase every year to keep access? I can upload up to 25,000 songs max using this service?  How do I back up library after having this service, I don't want to lose any music especially uploaded music from cd's
    Thanks again

    iTunes Match does what you are thinking, you can download your library to iTunes on any connected device (your iPod will still sync with iTunes, not iCloud directly) And it is a yearly subscription.
    Back up your library using any conventional  method, Match is not Backup.
    This is entirely independent of iCloud, you do not need an iCloud account for Match.

  • ITunes Match crash on Windows 7 pc

    Hello,
    Anyone who could assist me with iTunes crashing when on step 2 from iTunes Match on Windows 7 64bit? I have reinstalled iTunes, no effect. I have taken the error tracks out as suggested in a forum, didn't help. Of course I prefer not to format and reinstall Windows as I just did it last week because of some other software issues.
    Every time I restart iTunes I manage to get about 200 songs past the last crash point but since I have 20000 songs I can't keep on doing this.
    Thanks!

    +I think it may depend on lots of factors, processor, ram, music collection,+
    I agree with Miles on this. 1 minute sounds kind of long for 8GB, but if you have a lot of other programs open as well, I can see that.
    Also, if you have security software, it might be scanning itunes when it starts up and that could add time.

  • Itunes match erased playlists on my iphone

    Hi,
    After turning on itunes match on Windows 7 and then on my iphone 4 and ipad 2, everything worked well for a while. After 2 days all of my playlists disappeared from the iphone and I can't find a way to bring them back. I tried resetting the phone, turning itunes match off and on, but neither helped.
    Is there anything I can do here?
    Thanks,
    Guy

    First, relax. It's just a server glitch.
    To trouble shoot this turn off iTunes Match on the iOS device. Then open the Music app and give it time to clear out the cloud content. Then go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may have to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.
    Now, do a hard reset on the device by holding the Home+Power buttons until you see the Apple logo. Re-enable the iTM service.

  • ITunes Match Replacing My Album Ratings

    iTunes/iTunes Match is totally replacing all my album ratings with 3 stars. Even after I change the rating, after a while it'll again revert to a 3 star rating. Not cool. Thank god my song ratings are still untouched, but who knows.

    I contacted Apple's support team regarding this problem. The following response solved my problem.
    You can usually resolve most issues with iTunes Match by turning the service off and back on. Follow these steps for your operating system:
    - Mac OS X: hold down the Option key and choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match. Then, go back to the same menu and choose Turn On iTunes Match.
    - Windows: hold down the Shift key and choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match. Then, go back to the same menu and choose Turn On iTunes Match.

    Regards,
    Shuky Bendek

    Thank god finally my iTunes store is visible now & came back to normal form after uninstalling the "speedbit video downloader" software from my winows 8 PC.  My puzzle solved finaly but still I want to raise my concern to iTunes developers "Why I need to uninstall third party apps to make my iTunes work properly?"  If this is the case all the iTunes users need to restrict themselves and need to spare a lots of their time to investigate before installing other Windows apps.
    @Caffineohoic: I can understand ur frustraion dude as I too gone through it till now. My crappy update might not solve ur problem but it worked for me as I followed the steps properly. Wish u good luck.

  • ITunes Match and iTunes Radio commercials on Windows Only

    I have iTunes Match turned on and several PC's, an iMac, several iPhones and Apple TV all registered and functional.  I seem to get commercials only when I listen to iTunes radio when listening on the Windows PC version.  The commercials are all short, but present.  I checked the previous submissions and found the Store --> Update iTunes Match command, which didn't seem to resolve the problem.  The local PC doesn't have a local library of music, but it is also registered and using the same Apple ID for home sharing.
    Is this by design or is there something else I can check for disabling the commercials?  This PC is in my office and where I listen mostly, so would be nice to eliminate the commercials entirely (I'm kind of tired of the Gwen Stefanie ad coming to my screen when I am on conference calls).

    Is it possible to set-up an IOS 6 device to sync with iTunes Match but also set-up additional playlists of music that are stored on the device hard drive?
    With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing via USB is disabled. All music managment must take place directly on the device.

    I just noticed that you can download songs or whole playlists from the iCloud to your device. How long does the device store those songs? Can it be set-up to store them for for a certain amount of time?
    The songs will be stored on the device until you delete them. There is no "timer" feature, though.

  • ITunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows Breaks iTunes Match

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works.  It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already.  This issue has been going on for over a week with no response from Apple Support.  Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?  What can I do to remedy this problem?

    I use a utility called ByeTunes that removed Itunes completely of my pc "It's free"       and got a good down load of Itunes.a few weeks after they correct the upgrade.LOL

    I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…
