Sluggish iPhone performance after iTunes Match

My iPhone is sluggish and I think it happened after enabling iTunes Match. I notice the sluggishness mainly in the Music app. If I'm playing something and the iPhone goes to sleep, when I wake it takes maybe 10 seconds before it will let me unlock the slider. The Music app takes awhile to load, and it always goes out to the Internet on launch. If I play a tune then turn the phone sideways to view coverflow it takes at least several seconds. I don't remember the phone behaving this way before iTunes Match. It's an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. Any ideas?

My Camaro will recognize the iPhone still, but sits indexing for well over 45 minutes. I have yet to be able to play anything attached via the iPhone to USB connector. Bluetooth streaming does work, however the bluetooth on my 4s keeps cutting out (always has). So bluetooth really isn't an option.
My work around for the indexing issue was to create a playlist on my computer that was a reasonable size (500 songs for me), then download everything on my iPhone, then turn iMatch off. That keeps the files local to the iPhone, and indexing is only around 5 minutes. Otherwise the Camaro's computer needs to index the 8000+ songs I have on the cloud, even if they're not physically on the iPhone.
It would be nice if Apple would have an xml index already built that the GM computer systems could access, since they are supposed to be native to each other.

How do I get my playlists back onto my iphone after itunes match?

just signed up for itunes match and all my original playlists (the ones I used to sync with my itunes on my computer) are gone. How do i get these back on my iphone?

Did you ever transfer your music purchases to your computer iTunes? If so, it is simple to use iTunes to replace the music on your iPod.
If you only had your music on your iPod then it is lost. Purchased Apps, however, can be downloaded again at no charge from the App Store.

HT4913 cannot add my new iphone 5 to itunes match

Switched from iPhone 4 to iphone 5, signed in with my store id and enable itunes match, but iphone cannot connect.

I solved my own question.
After trying everything I could think of, my MacBook said:
"Another device in this network is using the IP-address of your computer.
If the problem persists, change the IP-address of this computer or the IP-address of the other device."
I then went to SETTINGS in my iPhone.
--> WI-FI
--> the Network I'm trying to access
--> static
-->IP Address
I filled in the IP Address my internet service provider supplied me when I subscribed.
And BINGO!!!

Some songs Downloaded to iPhone 4S via iTunes Match Skip

Hello -
I am using the following versions of iTunes and iPhone 4S:
iTunes: 10.07.0.21
iPhone: 6.0.1
I recently bought an album in physical format (i.e. Compact Disc) via an online retailer. When the album arrived, I imported it into my iTunes library. Once imported, I selected "Store > Update iTunes Match." Once the album was matched, I deleted the copy from the library and retained the one I had just matched on iCloud. I have used this process countless times in the past to match my music collection and iTunes Match has worked as expected (with the exception of the occasional album artwork not being displayed).
Unfortunately, I am experiencing some strange issue now. When I download this particular album to my iPhone using iTunes Match, the first track starts and immediately skips (e.g. the title of the track is displayed very briefly but no sound is heard) to either the second or third track. What's odd is that the song plays as expected when streamed, and occasionally works when I have no other albums downloaded to the iPhone. After spending $25.00 on iTunes Match and purchasing this new album, I find this bug to be very frustrating as it renders my new album somewhat unlistenable.
I have tried the following procedures in the hopes of fixing this issue with no success:
1. I Have verified Shuffle is not on.
2. I have deleted the album from iTunes Match and rematched from my library.
3. I have turned iTunes Match off, deleted all music locally, rebooted device, turned iTunes Match on, and redownloaded the album.
4. I have restored my iPhone from backup.
In addition to the above steps, I contacted Apple Support and have had a useless mail thread with a representative who clearly doesn't read my e-mails. I have told the representative in each mail I've sent that I am using iTunes Match when experiencing this issue, yet in her recent mail she tries to upsell me by telling me "Unfortunately you can only redownload songs you have purchased. Have you heard of iTunes Match?"
This is really frustrating me. I evangelize the product and feature constantly and to have it behave in such a broken manner is extremely irritating, especially when the support mail has been completely useless. If anyone could please provide some guidance I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

yeah that *****. Reconnect your iphone to your computer bring up itunes click on the iphone button on the top right cornor click on music at the top were summary tab is at. Then Remove the check mark from the box sync music hit apply at the bottom. Re add the check mark to the box sync music and hit apply again.

My playlists have not been trnasferred to my iphone while using iTunes Match

They have completely disappeared. I had been using ITunes Match on my iPhone and it was working fine, but I noticed the new things I had bought or CDs I had ripped weren't showing. So I turned match off and turned it back on and that's when I lost my playlists. Where are they? All the music is showing except the playlists. How do I get them back???

Wicked annoying but I actually uninstalled iTunes on my Mac using an AppZapper. You can also get AppCleaner which is free. After I just went to apple.com/itunes and redownloaded iTunes. My music and playlists were still there, then I turned on iTunes Match and turned it on my iPhone once the upload finished. Try it!
NOTHING else worked! This was the only way I could jumpstart iTunes Match to actually give me my playlists. PLEASE backup your Library first. Nothing bad should happen, but don't take any chances. Good luck!

Smart Playlists not syncing correctly to iPhone/iPad with iTunes Match

My manual playlists are syncing correctly to both devices, but smart playlists are a mess. They don't seem to match any criteria that they are created with, especially song limits. However, smart playlists are syncing correctly in iTunes on multiple computers. This is really frustrating because 99% of my playlists I listen to are smart ones. Anyone know of how to fix this? Apple, do you have any information on this or when it would be fixed?

Guys, I might have our "life savior" solution!!! (not 100% sure yet...)
I activated iTunes Match this morning.
Everything worked well apart from my smart playlists which cannot be found on my iphone/ipad anymore.
And yes, they relied on other lists...
BUT
A few smart playlists remained!!! (although they also rely on other lists)
So, after a bit of soul searching, here's my conclusion.
Those smart playlists that remained were actually dependant on "folders" which contain lists!
SO
I havn't tested yet (cause I'm at work), but if you put a list you wish to refer to in a folder, you should then be able to refer the smart list to the folder and not the actual list; and hopefully the smart list should then get synced!!!
Let me know if that works for you!

Conserving storage on iPhone 5S using iTunes Match

Do anyone know how I can reduse the amount of space my music fills on my iPhone 5S when I use iTunes Match.
I have more music on my Mac that what I can store on my iPhone 5S. I started using iTunes Match in order to have access to all my music in my iPhone 5S at least when I am on a wi-fi network. However, Match seems to download music as I listen to it and now the storage is almost full and music is the asolute largest chunck (which actually was the prime reason to start using Match).
From iPhone 5S Setting I can delete the entire music library, but that is not my intention.
When administrating iPhone 5S in iTunes on my Mac, iTunes tells me music is being accessed through iCloud.
iCloud.com do not offer any administration of the music on the iPhone.
Do any one knows?

Other is a problem. It has been for a long time, but it's become worse under iOS 7. There are a few things you can do.
Close all web pages then close all apps. Go into Airplane mode and open the Videos app. Check it for any videos that you didn't set up to sync to the phone. If you find any delete them. (I streamed some things from the cloud and used AirPlay to send them to my TV. They were left on the phone but instead of using memory listed under Videos, they were using memory listed under Other!)
Open messages and delete all unnecessary pictures and videos. Also do this with any other chat type apps.
Close all remaining apps, turn the phone off and on again and sync and see what happens.
If, after all this, you're still stuck with too much Other, backup your phone and do a restore. It's a royal pain in the butt, but I've had to do it every 2-3 weeks since I got the 5S and iOS 7 and a regular restore has become part of my routine maintenance, regardless of how much I hate it. It also has the benefit of keeping some other wierd bugs at bay. If your Applecare plan is still in effect, call them about this. I have an open ticket that goes back to November!
Let us know if any of these steps helped.

Cannot revert iPhone to before iTunes Match

I've gone through and deleted my entire library. I've turned off iTunes match on my phone. I then synced my iphone to put all of my music back onto my phone.
The problem is that now I have two versions of every song available on my phone: the one actually put there, and the one in the cloud. I don't want to download the songs from the cloud, because I get in situations where I have slow or no connectivity, and this means I can't listen to an album without pusing through the cloud songs. For some reason, this also affects the songs that should exist physically on my phone. It's become a pain to listen to music on my phone now, I either get to hear the song twice or I get to wait a long time between songs.
Do I have to kill itunes match altogether?

After time on the phone with Apple, if you're experiencing the same problem, you have to restore the iphone through itunes, which of course erases everything. Still, the problem is fixed.

How can I sync to keep some music tracks on my iPhone AND use iTunes Match to stream the rest?

Before I got iTunes Match, I had selected a whole bunch of music from my iTunes to sync onto my iPhone using my USB cable.
Now I've signed up for iTunes Match and none of that music is on my iPhone anymore except by streaming.
How do I get those tunes and podcasts back on my iPhone so I can listen to them when streaming is not available (like downstairs in my gym where there's no signal) WHILE ALSO being able to access the other non-sync'd tunes if I want whenever I've got a good signal.
I spent some time choosing which tunes to keep on my iPhone and which not to sync. So I'm sad they've all gone from my iPhone.
Your help appreciated!

You don't really have to download each one.
If you put the songs that you want to in a playlist you can have your iOS device download all the songs automatically rather than you having to do them one by one. And as you add more songs to this playlist you can periodically have your iOS device download the new ones. It actually works very well. The only downside, albeit a small one, is that it won't automatically download the new additions to your playlists.
This is exctly what I do for my workout playlist. I populated it, downloaded all the songs in one shot by clicking the DOWNLOAD ALL button on that playlist on my iPhone, and then as I add songs to that playlist in iTunes I'll go back to the iOS device and download those individual songs.

Itunes stops working after itunes match runs.

After I open Itunes and it does the Itunes Match it stops working. I have the most recent version, I have ran all the diagnostics I can on my end. Any clues? Extremely frustrated right now.

I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

HT4913 I cannot get my ipad or iphone to recognize itunes match that is set up on my Mac. Same id and password so not sure what I am not doing correctly. When I attempt to turn it on the devices they both respond that I am not subscribed but I am .....h

My iphone and ipad will not recognize my itunes match subscription I set up through my mac with same id and password. I have followed all steps but phone and ipad respond that I do not have a subscription. help?

I'm having the same issue on my iPad. Signed up for iTunes Match on my computer and tried to enable it on my iPad using the same apple ID and password but no luck. I hope they resolve it soon.

How Can I Tell if a Song on My iPhone is in iTunes Match?

I can't tell if my songs are in iTunes Match or not as on my phone scrolling through the list there is no cloud icon but I do have iTunes Match turned on my computer and on my iphone.

Once a track has been processed in iTunes there will be no cloud icon next to the track as long as it is on your local HDD. This means it is "in the cloud." To see the status of the tracks switch to Song view and pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status" then close the small window.

How can i store music on my iPhone and use iTunes match?

I signed up for Itunes match but found the streaming music uses a lot of data and is too expensive. I then put the music back on my iphone but found that enabling itunes match will delete the music on my phone. Is there anyway to keep the music on my iphone and also connect to itunes match?

Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
Thanks again!
