Some uploaded songs to itunes match stop in the middle of the song now

I loaded all our CD's onto Mac .....spent weeks last summer doing it and then purchased Itunes Match....several songs now just cut off in the middle of the song. The songs show up on my Itunes, show the title, full amount of play time, but even on my computer, play only the first minute or two of the song and then cuts out. Really annoying as I have about 5000 songs and hate to spend more time compiling a list of each corrupted song and reloading without knowing if this is going to just keep happening. Any ideas what I might have done wrong or need to change? Thanks......

Hey Jesus,
I found the following resource that may provide more information:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
- Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
- Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT204406 new mix-song added (120 mb, mp3, different tracks, some in aac converted) - itunes match waiting - error, close

new mix-song added to itunes (120 mb, mp3, i tried different tracks, some in aac converted) - itunes match waiting - error, close
after a few minutes it gives an error and closes the window.
small tracks are no problem. and the max limit is not reached
some ideas?
greetings from germany

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

Itunes match stop to check songs only one song before the end

Itunes Match stop checking songs just one before reaching the last one. I.E checked 3201 but it should 3201 songs checked??

Hi - You have made sure the song plays entirely on your actual machine, right?
Additionally, if you select the song and GET INFO it will open a new window. Check the OPTIONS tab and make sure the song START TIME and END TIME jive with the actual length of the song. I've somehow altered this incorrectly when attempting to change the volume.
Also, you can check the preferences panel, the PLAYBACK tab and set the CROSS FADE at none.
If neither of these do it, sounds like the actual song file maybe damaged whereas your computer can read/play it yet it's truncated or damaged just enough that your iPod isn't syncing the entire song. You can figure that out by simply comparing the file sizes.
You may also consider updating thru 10.4.11. I know this included a lot of iPod software updates. I'm currently running iPod software 1.0.3.
Good Luck, chris

Itunes match stopped working

My iTunes Match stopped working on my iPhone 4. I was using it all day yesterday, and in the evening, it stopped! Now, I can't play any song off the cloud OR any that was saved to my iPhone. Does anyone know why? Did I do something?

This happened to me today, as well. Songs in the cloud would not play when selected on either my iPhone or my computer. Turning off iTunes Match, then turning it back on fixed the problem. I had to do this separately for both the phone and the computer. I hope that this helps someone.

Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7)

(Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

Itunes match stopped in step 2 3188 of 4525 checked. how do i recover?

You've tried tapping on the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf to see if they are in a different collection ? If not then do you have a copy of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (though PDFs aren't iTunes purchases, if you've done 'transfer purchases' whilst they were on the iPad then they should have copied over) ?
ibooks and PDFs aren't included in a device's backup, so if they aren't in your computer's iTunes library and/or you don't have your own backup copy of them then they won't be on your computer (for info there isn't an iBooks app/program for a Mac or PC).

Why has itunes match stopped working

i was uploading music onto itunes match this morning and everything was fine after i had finished i looked on my phone and iphone match had vanished now all i get it the cloud sign then no music
i have rest my phone and restored it and still nothing i cannot find anythiing on the threads that work please help.

I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this. I was esclated through several levels.
They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
I still have an open ticket. But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.

Can I have iTunes Match recognize that the Music is on my Hard Drive?

My PC (Windows 8.1) computer hard drive crashed. My old computer was using an iTunes media file on an external hard drive so I still have that, but I also subscribe to iTunes Match. After replacing my old internal hard drive, I went to set up iTunes, and I changed the iTunes media folder location so it would use the one on my external hard drive. However, once I turned on iTunes Match, all of the music still shows up as being in the Cloud. I can't figure out how to have it recognize that my music is already on that external hard drive. It just wants me to download everything from the Cloud. I have tons of music, and it would take days to download everything. Is there a way to associate it with my previous library on the external hard drive?

CHRISRMOR: With iTunes match, as long as you uploaded all of your songs to begin with, the music should be there when you open a new iTunes on your new hard drive. You will just have to download it all from the cloud. If you use iTunes match on other devices, you can download any or all of your songs from the cloud too. So to answer your question, yes, you are correct. When you download iTunes onto your new hard drive, authorize the computer and turn on iTunes Match and update it, then all of your songs should be there. There is a symbol of a cloud with an arrow pointing downward that will show that it is in the cloud. If you right-click on that symbol you can download an individual song. Or if you select all or a group of songs, you can download all of them with a right-click.

Should Itunes Match be deleting the music on my iphone and IPAD

Still trying to get this figured out. I'm almost certain that yesterday, when I first did Itunes Match, that all the music that was already on the Iphone and Ipad was not deleted (despite the warning to the contrary) when I toggled the Itunes Match switch on both.
I'm almost certain that yesterday, even after turning Itunes Match had been turned on, the music was not deleted and as new songs were added (ie CDs ripped)they showed up on both devices with the cloud Icon.
That is consistent with what I read here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1163607/toggle_between_itunes_match_and_local_sy ncing.html
However, today, I re-downloaded some music after getting the higher quality versions with Itunes on my Mac. I turned Itunes Match off on both my Iphone and IPad, thinking I would do a quick manual sync to the Mac, get all the songs put on each and then turn Itunes Match back on both.
I did so, but when I turned Itunes Match back on each, Itunes Match deleted all of my music, replacing all songs with the cloud icon now forcing me to redownload everything. That seems inconsistent with what happened yesterday and is also inconsistent with the article above which seems to indicate that Itunes Match should be smart enough to realize the songs it doesn't need to delete.
Is the above article and my experience wrong?
Thanks for the help!

What you are experiencing is normal. As soon as you turn on iTunes Match, it should wipe out all your songs that were manually put on your device and you will have to redownload. Its idiotic to me, but that is the way it is supposed to work. People have stated they sometimes fool the process, but it is supposed to remove them all.
Hope this helps. Down the road I wish they made it so you could do both, icloud and manual sync.

HT204088 Is there a way I can immediately unsubscribe to iTunes match and have the $24.99 refunded. I accidentally purchased it but don't want the service right now?

With itunes match live on my iOS devices, can I now remove all local music files from my PC to free up space? There's no need to keep it if it will always be in the cloud. Right?

HT5637 I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now? Do I delete all music on my iphone and how do I then see the music that's stored in the cloud?

Hi
I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now. Do I delete all the music on my iphone and ipad and if so how? Once I've done that how do I find the music on the cloud on my phone/ipad?

Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

ITunes suddenly stopped accessing the internet

iTunes suddenly stopped accessing the internet, so can't get to the iTunes store. All other programs running ok on my Windows 7, 64 Bit system. Have tried Windows Program repair and then Program un-install followed by Program reinstall - neither worked. Again, everything else works on my desktop PC. Even tried removing the anti-virus program. Still no luck.
Apple troubleshooting guide hints do not help.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

ATV 2 - iTunes Match stops playing after a few songs

I have iTunes match and it will abruptly stop after playing a few songs. It will reboot the ATV 2. Same thing happens if I'm airplaying from my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. However if I'm airplaying my sound from my Mac to the ATV 2 and playing songs through iTunes 11, it works fine
Any suggestions?

same here!
