Refreshing iTunes Match upload

I am now on day 3 of uploading a large library (17000 songs) and it keeps stalling. I have restarted the process a couple of times, but I wonder if there is a way to refresh the process or see what it is stuck on and skip it? I am using a PC.

i am having the exact same issue - had itunes match since day one without problems and now nothing else will upload

Corrupted iTunes Match Uploads

So I have a couple of iTunes match uploads that seems somehow corrupted. I've removed the local files, but they won't re-download from iCloud. The two different errors I get are:
"An unknow error occurred (11111)"
and
"The URL "^0" could not be found on the server"
Most frustratingly, I cannot delete these tracks from iCloud either, the delete option is available, but hitting "Delete Songs" on the iCloud deletion confirmation dialog has no effect.
Any thoughts?

The first file (unknown error) was corrupt at the point of initial iTunes match upload. I've re-ripped it from CD and the new version uploads and downloads to iCloud fine, but it is indicated as a duplicate of the corrupt track in iTunes, and I want to delete the old corrupt version from iCloud.
The second file (URL error) was fine before upload (again, ripped from CD). I retained a local copy and that works fine, however if I delete the local file (via iTunes), it won't redownload from iCloud, and nor can I simply paste the local version back into iTunes, because iTunes is convinced that the file only resides on iCloud and doesn't locate the local version.
This situation has been like this for some weeks now, I've just only now gotten round to mentioning it here.

How to refresh iTunes Match on the iPhone?

Hello,
I have around 12.000 songs on my iTunes AND iTunes Match (all have been matched / uploaded, no leftovers). When I turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone, it shows only 4200 tracks, not all the 12k.
"Ok, let's turn off iTunes Match on the iPhone and turn it on again and see if it performs a refresh".
I have then turned off iTunes Match on the iPhone, went back to the Music, and I saw that the 4200 tracks WERE STILL THERE, with the "download from the cloud" button. Weird, i have disabled iTunes Match on the Phone...
"Let's try reboot the device"
I have then rebooted the iphone, closing all the applications before doing it, and after the reboot (iTunes Match still disabled on the device), THE SONGS WERE STILL THERE WITH THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON...
"Let's try turning itunes match on again, to see if the songs will be 12k"
Turned on iTunes Match again on the device, the tracks DID NOT CHANGE. Only 4200.
"But I want to play my music on my iphone!!! The tracks that were on the device have been deleted!!!"
So my question is:
Is there a way to force the "Music" app on the iPhone to perform a FORCED REFRESH of the iTunes Match library? Turning iTMatch off and on doesn't work.
In the meantime, the only way for me to have my music on my iPhone is to turn iTMatch off, back up the iphone and perform a iPhone Restore... Seriously.

Thanks to kirbyfromtrenton, I have tracked down at least a partial fix for this problem:
1 - Turn off iTunes match in iTunes.
2 - Turn off iTunes match on the iPhone.
3 - Close iTunes and reopen.
4 - Connect your iPhone.
5 - Go into your music folder for the iPhone and delete all the songs.
6 - Turn back on iTunes match in iTunes
7 - Turn back on iTunes match on the iPhone
All of my music is available once again, although I'm still not seeing my playlists or artwork. That could be because I'm overseas right now with a slow wi-fi connection though.

Itunes Match upload keeps failing

Hey there,
I signed up for iTunes Match yesterday and it's matched up most of my library but it's just started running the Step 3 "Uploading Artwork And Remaning Songs" FOR THE THIRD TIME - it gets all the way through the process then I turn around ten minutes later and the **** thing has started the whole process again. Any ideas?
Cheers
Rob

Rob,
I posted on a similar topic, you are lucky if it takes 10 minutes to get to the point where it crashes, due to the size of my library mine takes around 2 hours, and I have had to restart it hundreds of time and been at it for 4 months now I think. Each time an update for itunes is available I hopefully install it, problem not fixed as yet, I live in hope. itunes 11 was in my opinion a downgrade, features removed, can't see where apple are going with this, downhill mostly.
Only solution I have found so far is sheer persistence, just keep on restarting it, until eventually you get all your songs uploaded. There are some songs at the top of the list which dont have an itunes match/cloud status but I will deal with those once uploads have finished.
From what I've read elsewhere the crashing *may* be related to the size of the files (seems iTunes match doesn't like large files). If you have lossless or WAV files, consider converting to AAC 256kb which I think is what iTunes match wants to put into the cloud, so might help. The conspiracy theorists would probably say the bug intentional and in order to get you to purchase apple hardware.
Last time I asked iTunes about a refund a very partronising lady replied and in essence told me that iTunes store policy is "All sales are final", in other words, no refunds. I guess if it happened on the internet then it didn't really happen, not same as the store where you can get no questions asked refund.
Hope you get it sort, good luck

ITunes match uploading is taking too long

iTunes Match needs to upload over 2,000 items. In 24 hours it has only uploaded 132. This is going to take a month. Can I turn iTunes Match off? Any other ideas?

Which software did you use to restore it, if you didn't go with iTunes?

ITunes Match Upload error

I have a CD that I purchased through iTunes in 2006 and all but one song has uploaded to iCloud. The message I get when I try to upload the song "The song was not uploaded to iCloud because an error occurred." It doesn't tell me why and it seems strange that all songs upload, but that one.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dennis

The current iTunes Match service is effectively down at present - so it may be a challenge to resolve for a few days.
The usual route to resolving such issues is to:
1. Securely back-up current library;
2. Remove track from library;
3. Re-rip from CD in 256 kbps AAC format using iTunes;
4. Select Song in library and request 'Upload to iCloud';
5. Update iTunes Match from Store menu.
Best of luck - worst case, there may be a corruption in the original file but it is unlikely if step 3 completes.

Library corruption on initial iTunes Match upload?

Has anyone else seen this behavior? I just subscribed to iTunes Match. It went through the whole parsing of the library and uploaded. But now the library is messed up - some movies were marked as music, music as movies, some song files appear to have been overwritten in the library (the Avengers movie actually replaced "Sing" by the Carpenters - it shows up listed as track 12 of 14, with a mix of entries from the movie and the original song). The original files appear to be untouched (thankfully), so I can probably rebuild the library without too much loss of data.
Is this a known "feature"? I think the convenience would be wonderful if the music didn't end up scrambled in translation...
Thanks for any feedback!

In iTunes turn off iTunes Match and quit iTunes. Then restore the iTunes Library.itl file from your backup that is from before you first turned on iTunes Match.

HT4914 Will iTunes Match upload music from my iPhone?

Thanks!

No, you can only subscribe to iTunes Match and upload music to it from a computer's iTunes - turning 'on' iTunes Match on a phone will, I think, remove your current music from it

ITunes Match Uploads Keep Stopping

Looks like a couple of peole have posted on this, but I haven't seen any advice yet. My Step 3 - Uploading Artwork and Remaining Songs - keeps stopping. I get maybe 5-10 items uploaded, then the progress stops. Still get the progress wheel spinning, etc, but no more items get uploaded. I've started and stopped the process multiple times, restarted my computer, etc. Saw one recommendation suggesting that there might be an odd track that hangs up the system. That doesn't seem to be my case - I get about a dozen items uploaded, then the progress stops. I Stop and Start, then get a few more uploaded.
Very frustrating and disappointing. Really seems like Apple rolled iTunes Match out before things were ready.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very exicted about the iTunes Match service and think it is a fantastic idea! I just wish more of the bugs and issues would have been ironed out before release. I am a huge Apple fan and user because, normally, everything 'Just Works'.
I understand about bandwidth limitations - again, my problems stem from having to start and stop the upload process dozens of times because the process would stop/hang up, despite my rebooting, Option-Clicking, etc. My iTunes library isn't large - just under 10,000 songs. After matching, I had to upload approximately 1700 songs. I limited or turned off all other internet/wireless activity while uploading.
The purpose of my posting about this issue is 1) to hopefully find a fix, and 2) to give Apple some feedback about what is going on with iTunes Match.
By the way, I finally completed my upload. Now that my library is uploaded, hopefully adding additional CDs/tracks here and there won't be much of a problem. And I'm really looking forward to using this!
I've seen this mentioned on other tthreads, but I don't want a refund - just wish Apple would have ironed things out a bit better before releasing. Someone mentioned that iTunes Match is still considered in Beta - I don't recall reading that anywhere, and hope that is not true. What has distinguished Apple from the rest of the pack is that they've had the discipline to hold off on releasing products and services until they were working smoothly, and not using their customer base as an extended testing phase. Just hoping this experience was just an anomoly, and not an indication of things to come.

ITunes Match upload very slow only 64kb/s ?

hello. why uploading music in iTunes match is so slow.

In general network use the speed of a connection is only as fast as the many links between your hard drive and the hard drive on the server. Try using a speed test utility (many web sites offer one) and see if it's something local to you, or if it is more remote.
What kind of network connection do you have? What speed? I have a 136k connection so 64k for me isn't too bad, especially when my neighbors are all streaming wireless at night and interferring with my signal (I have wireless to my Internet service provider).

Itunes match upload problems

I'm having problems while trying to upload a new album to itunes match, is anyone having these issue?

Are you having the same problem as the one in this thread? https://discussions.apple.com/message/18587000

Can I turn iTunes Match Upload OFF?

All of my unpurchased music is ripped ALAC, so if iTunes can't find it in MATCH, it uploads all of these HUGE files. I've got over 9000 tunes that it's doing this to. I really DON'T want to stream ALAC files to my phone or anything else. Is there a way to to tell iTunes NOT to upload?

Not at this time. However, iTunes is not uploading the ALAC files to the cloud. Any ALAC tracks that are not matched are first transcoded to temporary 256 Kbps AAC and those files are uploaded.

ITune Match upload hangs on last song

ITunes uploaded 587 songs without a problem. Number 588 (the last one) has been busy for over an hour. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with a Prodigy CD, where it hangs on the very last song. This happens however on my Macs, when I put it into my Windows laptop it works just fine. I've also had a Depeche Mode CD that Windows couldn't rip properly but the Mac can. All this seems to suggest that it might be a problem with the actual drives. I am not an expert by any means though and if anyone else has a better theory, I'm open to one myself.

Itunes Match Upload freezed =( Step 1 and 2 works fine, but then nothing happens =(

Hi,

ITunes Match Not Uploading

iTunes match suddenly quit uploading music to the cloud. It goes through all the other steps but when it comes to uploading it fails. The songs are reading error beside them and I tried to refresh iTunes Match but it keeps failing to upload. Is anyone having this issue?

Mine cut out about an hour ago and I actually logged in here to see if I was the only one affected. Every upload I attempt gives me an "error" message.
I also just called the Apple Support number, and they said to just keep trying (seems like this has happened before?). I gave them my one-minute rant on how a $25 service shouldn't really be down, or at least there should be a better SLA than "call back in 24 hours".
