Some songs imported from CDs are no longer explicit, iTunes Match has made them the edited versions.
I've been subscribed to iTunes Match and have had no major issues with it so far. However, I noticed recently that some of my songs which are explicit versions on my home computer have been converted to the edited version in iTunes Match. The odd thing is that different songs on the same album will be edited and unedited (e.g. The Blueprint 3 - Empire State of Mind is edited while On to the Next One is unedited). Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or why it is happening?
-Also I use iTunes Match on multiple devices. My iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1, MacBook Pro & iMac running 10.8.2 and Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows 7. I've experienced the problem on the Lenovo & iPhone. I haven't checked my MacBook Pro because I don't listen to music on it much. The actual music is located on the iMac HDD.
Thanks!

This is a know issue and has been discussed extensively on this forum. You should inform iTunes Store support about the mismatches.
So you have the "correct" versions of the songs on your iOS device, turn off iTM, sync the explicit tracks via USB, then re-enable iTM.

There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing. I put all of them on from cds. The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased. When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel. Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there. On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs. I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!! Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!

I recently restored my itunes library and many songs imported from CD are now marked mpeg audio stream. I can't play them. Other imports are just fine. Why did this happen?
If there is a cure you may find the folks over here have more information for you. Repost your question here:

Transfering songs imported from cds to new library
PLEASE someone tell me this can be done! I talked with customer service, and they said unless they were purchased on iTunes, I'd have to add them back myself. I have close to 2,000 songs I imported from my cds!

The title pretty much says it all. I deleted some songs from my hard drive that had already been added to the cloud using iTunes Match, and now, when I try to play them, I'm asked to locate the files. The songs are still available on my other devices, so I didn't delete them from the cloud. How do I reconect the songs on my computer with the files in the cloud?
Apple provides a brain-dead simple way to backup all your personal data in the form of Time Machine that keeps incremental backups going back at least several weeks, if not months (depending on the size of the backup drive). Why more people don't use it is a puzzle to me. In this day and age of person, and very important, data being digitial (sometimes exclusively) backing everything up becomes imperative. Ideally a good backup scheme should incorporate multiple backup solutions in case of very serious emergencies, but for most people, and in the case described in the OP TM is a very good solution. If a file is deleted, then found to be needed again, just go to the date and time in TM just before the file was deleted and restore it. Simple. But it doesn't work if you aren't backing up. So... backup, backup, backup. You'll thank yourself that you did when you finally need it.

Some songs purchased through Facebook are not syncing onto iTunes, how can I fix this problem?
Good morning to all of you in this community. The reason for this discussion being started up is because I am having trouble uploading some mp3 files that I purchased through Facebook. most of the songs uploaded successfully with no problem, bit there are a few that I can't find although I downloaded them. I am a new user to Apple products, so this is quite an annoyance to have to be dealing with. If anyone has any helpful suggestions I would appreciate it greatly, thank you.
Interesting, this is the first time I hear one can purchase songs via Facebook. Note that unless youpurchased the songs from iTunes, you will not be able to add them to the Music app on your iPHone.

Songs Previously Imported from CDs No Longer Available
It seems like after every iTunes software update some or all of the songs I imported from CDs are no longer accessible from my library (the exclamation point). This is an incredible hassle to reload these tracks. Help please.
Thanks.Upgrading iTunes does not cause media to disappear from the computer.
The message is telling you that the media is not where iTunes expects it to be. Either the user or some software on the computer moved (or deleted) the media. No one here can tell you where that media is. Find it on your computer or rip the CDs again. -
Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues. I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
Hello, I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out. Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible. I have a Match subscription and Match is working. If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them. I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
ThanksI did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

I have a iphone with music on it from my itunes (most are songs imported from CD's). How do i get it on my ipad? Will icloud automaticlly sync it on there?
No, iCloud doesn't sync music between devices. To get your music on your iPad, sync it with iTunes.

IPhone won't play music imported from CDs or mp3s not downloaded from itunes
When I first downloaded iOS 7, all of the music I had in my iTunes synched to my iPhone, but now new CDs I just imported and previous songs I imported from CDs won't synch (I've tried over wifi and usb). When I click on songs on my phone that were from CDs, they look as if they are going to play and then skip immediately. Mp3s I downloaded do the same thing. Mind you, everything was working fine until updating to iOS 7.0.4. I've been looking around the forums and have found that problems like this are relatively common and it's a shame Apple hasn't done anything to fix it.
When my phone is hooked up and I click on "on this iPhone", it says the music from CDs and mp3s is on, but the titles come up gray with these litte circle things next to them
Just checking now, I noticed some songs I bought from iTunes are doing the same thing.
I tried manually synching, but when I click to drag the songs into my phone, the section that has music, movies, etc. just flashes and nothing happens. I know something is wrong because I just put a ringtone onto my phone the same way.
Oh, I also noticed that when my iPhone is synching and the steps go through at the top it skips steps 3, 4, and sometimes 5 (The Apple symbol pops up instead then goes straight to 6 and 7) so I know it's not recognizing the fact I put a bunch of new music in iTunes. Also, when I look at the bar at the bottom that shows how much memory is on my phone, this shows up:
and that Documents and Data thing was not there before.
Can someone please give me ideas on how I can stop this rediculousness without buying a new phone?Did you already try the suggestions mentioned in this article?
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases -
I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed? Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?
Hi Cricketdaw,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

How do I take songs off Ipod Classic if they are no longer in ITunes?
I've nearly filled my Ipod Classic with music. Since my computer only has so much storage and ITunes couldn't possibly store all the songs, I kept deleting them, then would add new ones, move them manually to the Ipod, and then delete them. I continued this cycle to get as much music as I wanted on the Ipod. But now I'd like to add some new music and I'm willing to sacrifice some of the music that's on the Ipod. So how do I remove songs from the Ipod if they are no longer in ITunes?
It sounds like your iPod is set to use the Manually manage music and videos setting, which is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. When you use the manual method, the iTunes library on the computer is not linked in any way to the library on the iPod.
So how do I remove songs from the Ipod if they are no longer in ITunes?
So, that does not even matter. iTunes is not keeping the two libraries "in sync" in any way. First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To remove songs from the iPod manually, click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: It is a bad and risky idea to keep the only copy of song files on an iPod, which can become lost, broken, or in need of a Restore. You will eventually lose your music. You should keep all of your songs in your iTunes library on your computer (as the "master copy"). If the internal drive does not have the space, you should get an external drive that is large enough to hold all of your songs (with room to grow). You can then set up iTunes to store its iTunes Media folder on the external drive.

what happened to my playlists? I just loaded version 11.0.4.4 and all my playlists and songs uploaded from CDs to iTunes disapeared!!!!
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
