Set up i tunes matches on a different computer

i have been trying to set up itunes matches on another computer and so far it has taken 12 hours to gather information form the i tunes store. it this normal any advice. i am logged into the itunes store so i know that my password is correct

Hi,
How much music do you have on this computer?
If there is no music, the process should be quick. Once you sign into iTunes, the match, your library should show the music you have in the cloud.
I suggest you sign out of match and iTunes, reboot your computer. Sign back into iTunes and then add computer to match.

How do I access and use my iTunes library on a different computer?

How do I access and use my i Tunes library on a different computer?

The iTunes library is only where the user puts it. If desired to have on an additional computer, put it there by copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the existing computer to the new computer.

How to I move PS to a different computer?

I want to set up PS and Pr on a different computer. How is this accomplished.

You have two activations, simply install (never copy) and activate on the second computer. Once you are sure all is well and you will be disposing of your old computer, just deactivate and uninstall off the old one. Otherwise it can serve as a backup.

How can I use iTunes Match on two different accounts on same computer?

What happens if I enable iTunes Match in a different account on my Mac Pro. I am already set up with iTunes Match because I was travelling and I wanted to use my iPhone on the road but not fill up the storage. I turned off iTunes Match in my primary account (user of course) becuase I have all the "original" music in that library. I have another account though that I would also like to be able to use just some of the music at different times. I have a separate account for using Final Cut Pro X.
So, would ITunes Match be the solution I am looking for? iCloud status gives me all of the music I have purchased but it is short about 800 music files.

I know that. When I talk of accounts I mean user accounts on the Mac Pro. I am looking for a solution that wil keep iTunes libraries, playlist, etc insync between two user accounts on the computer.

My I tunes match is working on my I phone 5, I pad and Apple tv but no in my mac book pro

Hi,
Is itunes match turned on? If so, try holding shift key whilst turning off match.
Now turn match back on, signing in with the apple ID that you used to set up match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. Once process complete you should see all the music you have in cloud.

Does i tunes match show album artwork even if purchased on cd?

does i tunes match show album artwork even if purchased on cd?

If your music in iTunes has album art now, it should show up in iTunes match, although there are plenty of examples on the board where users have had to do a lot of work to get their art to display. iTunes Match does not go look for album art for you, so if you don't have art for songs that are in your iTunes library, it won't add them.
If you have iTunes set to go look for album art when you import a CD, then in most cases it should find album art for it and tag the tracks.

Hi spmcl,

The attached article explains how to set up and use iTunes Match on your iOS devices. If you are still having issues after working through the article, please let me know what errors you are receiving or where the process does not go as expected.

HT204074 I Tunes Match on multiple devices...

I have three devices (Iphone 4S, Ipod touch and Mac Book Pro) - My child uses the i pod touch. I have I Tunes Match. I would like to add or remove songs etc. from the Ipod touch manually. How can I access my I tunes library without using Itunes match on this device? Thanks!

Hey 111122223333,
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device. So if you have Match enabled on your child's iPod Touch, you'll want to disable it in order to manage its music using iTunes and your computer.
To disable iTunes match on your child's iPod, go to Settings > Music and make sure the iTunes Match switch is set to Off.

Then, to sync using your computer's iTunes libraary, you'll want to follow these directions:

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

when i try to add my windows 7 pc to i tunes match, it causes i tunes to crash. I know someone else has had this problem, please tell me how to fix it. I do have the latest version of i tunes software too.

You can authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of the iTunes screen - if you have iTunes11 then control-B should get the menus to show.

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

HT4914 If I use I tunes match and have all my music on the cloud, will I be able to listen to it, meaning will it be on my device when I am without a cell or wifi signal....like on a plane or in an area without service?

If I choose to use I tunes match, and store my music on the cloud, will I be able to access it when I don't have a cell signal or wifi? For example, when I'm on a plane or in an area without a cell signal or wifi. And, if its just cellular coverage, will it count as "data" against my limit?

Yes, it would count against your data. The transfer part is part of your cellular coverage, whether it be from Apple's iCloud or a totally unrelated feed.
iTunes match - http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ - see FAQ at end too
"Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs."
So, from the above, if you are sitting in an airplane and suddenly decide you want to listen to a song that has not downloaded to your device then you will have to wait until you can use your service again (or pay the airline to use their wireless).

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!!

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?
