Some of my music is missing from iTunes Match and I can't add it manually.

I seem to have remembered being able to manually add any new music I got to the cloud by simply right clicking on an album or a song in iTunes. Now it seems as if that doesn't work anymore. I just got some new music and it's not showing up in my iPhone or iPad. Please help.

The issue lies with the info in each song/album. Since iTunes match tries to match your library with songs from their own library, the info in each album needs to show the specified artist and song names so iTunes Match can recognize it. (see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17055402#17055402)
That solved my issue. I changed the album artist to be the artist name only and re-logged in to iTunes Match, then checked my phone and it was there.
Thanks.

HT204406 My HDD crashed which held all of my music. Can I recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to a new HDD?

My HDD crashed and it contained all of the music from which iTunes and iMatch pulled files from. Is there a way to recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to my new HDD?

My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files. I have not had to reinstall iTunes software. The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music. I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am uploading music from my older Mac. How do I disconnect it from iTunes Match and connect new Mac?

I just purchased a new Mac and I want it to be the only computer associated with my iTunes Match. I want it to be able to have access to all my playlists so that my iPhone can be sync'd via the new computer. How do I do all this? Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help. I took the time to go through all the songs saved on my Time Machine backup drive used by the older machine and drag those music files I want to keep. Now I'm using an old hard drive to backup up the entire iTunes folder on the old Mac to be able to keep those files until I'm sure I have all that I want.
Everything is now in iTunes Match and my iPhone seems to have sync'ed successfully. Now I'd like to delete those files stored in iTM from my hard drive and just keep them in the Cloud. Is this a good idea? I'm thinking I can save a lot of hard drive space.
My iPhone does have Match turned on. So I should be able to keep everything sync'd just by using iTunes Match, right?
Thanks so much again for your help!

HT4914 i subscribed to itunes match and i can't get it to come up on my apple ipad mini....help

I subscribed to apple itunes match and for some reason it won't load onto my ipad. Do anyone know how to get it to download

Hi,
If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?
Jim

Now my music is missing from iTunes...please help

OK, for today's fun and games: I synced this morning like I always do, but all the music in my iTunes library on PC is missing. After syncing, it still appears on my phone though. I went into the music tab in iTunes with my phone plugged in and for some reason, the "sync music" option is unchecked (no idea why it is unchecked). I am afraid to check it because it says it will replace all the music on my phone with what's in my iT library which currently appears to be nothing! Where did the music on my PC go and how can I get it back!?
Thanks

Well all my music is on my hard drive in its various original locations.
Thanks a lot Apple! I really appreciate having to REIMPORT, Re-link, and get album artwork FROM SCRATCH all over again. Kind of p!ssed off right now.

Please help. Music files missing from itunes and computer!

I know that this isn't exactly a new issue, but I have scanned the discussions and nothing that I have read seems to help. My son has a nano (4th gen). He isn't sure but he thinks that maybe he disconnected his ipod before a sync was complete or something because all the music was deleted from it. He's not positive that's what happened but that's his best guess. No problem -- thought we'd just pull songs over again to it from our library. However, when we try to do this, on about 50% of the songs he wants (all were purchased, not from CDs) there are exclamation points next to the songs when we try to drag them and it says the file can't be found. I have looked in the itunes library on our computer and while I can find the libraries, they also don't have these specific songs we are looking for. I've tried to search and I just come up empty. Is there anything we can do beside buy the songs again? There are about 16 songs or so. A couple of them I have on my itouch. Could I somehow transfer the couple of songs to the computer? And would that work to get them to his ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

+It appeared to do that as there are now duplicates in our library, but when I tried to drag the new song to the ipod, that darn exclamation appeared again and the song wouldn't transfer.+
It's easy to get rid of the duplicates. iTunes menu > View > View Options
Check the Date Added box, then click on the column name Date Added twice. Eveything you added to day will be at the top.
Then click File > Show Duplicates and only delte the one from today.
Do NOT delete both duplicates, or the song will be entirely gone.
As for dragging songs to the ipod, it has to be set for "manually manage music" for that to work. I don't understand about the exclamation point showing up again, unless you were dragging the 'old' reference that got deleted. Tyr dragging over the copy from today.

Recover lost deleted corrupted music files tracks from iTunes match icloud

Just spent an hour on Apple's tech suypport line, all to figure out how to recover lost/deleted/corrupted music files/tracks from iCloud / iTunes Match. Here's how to do it:
ASSUMPTIONS: You're in iTunes on your computer, logged into your iCloud account.
Within iTunes, in the left-hand pane, select your Music library. Alll your tracks should appear in the right-hand pane. Those that are missing from your disk should be marked with an asterisk icon to the left of the track. Do the following...
...select all the missing/lost/deleted tracks (using the option button), and hit the delete button.
NOTE: when the delete dialog box comes up, make sure you do ***NOT*** click the "Delete from iCloud" selection!!!
...once deleted, select all the same tracks again, then hit the right mouse button, then select "Download".
All the tracks should start downloading, one by one, from iCloud.
NOTE: If I were you, I'd perform this operation on discrete chunks (no more than 500 at a time), just to be safe.
Good luck!

You can also recover the missing tracks from the backup you are keeping on an external HDD. You are backing up, aren't you?

Is the music I play from iTunes Match taking up storage space on my iPad?

I'm a bit confused. I have about 9000 songs in my laptop iTunes. I signed up for iTunes Match. As I play songs from those 9000 is it bringing them into my iPad and using storage there, or do they stay in my iCloud storage area and simply play from there? I signed up for it with understanding/hope that I could have all my music without using up space on my devices (iPad and iPhone). Am I correct that my device storage is NOT being used?

You're welcome.

Thanks for the answer Michael. So how will I know when I'm getting dangerously close to using up all of my storage/data capacity?
If you've got your iDevice set up to sync via Wi Fi you can just look at the summary page for the device in iTunes to see how much capatcity is being used. But it shouldn't be a problem because the Music app will delete older downloaded tracks to make room for newer tracks as you download them. You can also delete music by track by swiping and tapping the delete button; or by Album or Artist by tap-n-hold and tapping the "x."
the bbq king wrote:
If I delete songs from my device to free up space will that delete it from my computer or iCloud list?
No. Only from your iDevice. And even when you do delete a track from your iDevice you'll still be able to see it as being in the cloud so you can download it again.
the bbq king wrote:
n my opinion Apple makes iCloud and iTunes Match sound like they are streaming technologies. Or let's at least say they aren't very forthcoming that all songs played are downloaded to your device. Maybe if you have any persuassion with Apple you could suggest they tweak their marketing message.
I don't have any "persuassion" with Apple but I do agree that the marketing language is, shall we say, fuzzy. It definitely should be modified.

Purchased music from iTunes Store and now can't find it

I JUST purchased a song from the iTunes store and now I can't find it. I've purchased several songs before and have had no problems. I've tried everything that's been suggested in the Discussions posting, but nothing has worked. Is there any refund or credit since it's lost? It's very frustrating when you spend money and don't get what you paid for.

First look at your account by going to the music store and hitting your account name in the top right corner (Where you sing in and out) to see if you was charged for it
In iTUnes at the top hit Advanced>Check for purchases if the song didn't download all the way
In windows hit Start Button>Search and in the search field type in "m4p" and it will pull up all the songs you have bought AND are on your system. when searching DO NOT hit "Pics Music Videos" Instead hit "All Files and folders". in "More Advanced Features" check "Search Sub Folders"
If you was charged for the song(s), have used "Checked for purchases" and nothing downloads and you search your WHOLE harddrive (Not just Muy Music Folder) and it does not pull up the songs as being on your system, you will have to email the music store at this link http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/download/

I have two Ipod's one of my Ipod's won't sync the library over to my Mac. So i'm stuck with the songs I bought from Itunes. And I can't find a way to put them over.

A year ago I bought an Imac to replace my broken Laptop. I have two Ipod touches. They both shared the same Library of CD and Itunes music. Until I synced the Ipod to my Itunes account on my Imac. And it wiped the CD songs from that Ipod, and just uploaded the Itunes songs. Uploading the songs Via CD isn't an option any more as I moved quite a bit, so CD's are all scratched like mad. I still have all the CD songs left on one Ipod, and when connected to Itunes I have access to the CD songs. But can't transfer them over to my Library. I'm too scared to Sync it incase I lose all my CD songs forever. Help

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is ituens purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

Error Code 150:30 - Photos Missing From My Catalog and LR Can't Load Them

LightRoom 5.5 stopped functioning and cannot find the catalogs or files I was using for the last several days. I receive Error Code 150:30 and am advised to contact Adobe Support, though I can't seem to find a direct link to do so. Is the issue possibly related to licensing issues? I purchased a copy of LR 5 from B&H and later received two licenses through purchases of Leica cameras. I am trying to get myself setup on LR, but seem to be locked out until I can reestablish the links to my photo files which seem to be grayed out. Thanks for any help or guidance. Robert

When iTunes Match, matches the incorrect song, is there a way of removing that song from iTunes Match and then choosing the correct song?

I have had iTunes Match now for a year. It's great. However the more I listen to my library the more songs I come across dodgy sounding songs, incorrect songs and censored songs. Especially when listening to a Kings of Leon album and the main song is incorrect on in iTunes Match! I've read that there is no cure, but when will Apple be making it correct (all in needs is a "get info" kind of thing). If deleting the albums off iTunes and iTunes Match then re-adding them in to the cloud then I can do that. In the grand scheme of things it's only a handful of songs in 20k - but albums I listen to regularly!

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

Some of my music is missing from iTunes Match and I can't add it manually.
