Songs being uploaded to ITUNES

Appears that ITunes is uploading music that I loaded from CDs' to my Ipod to ITunes store. This takes a long time (Sometimes an hour or more) and meanwhile I am unable to play the songs being uploaded to Itunes, What do I do?

Hi,
You can tell if songs have been processed by match by adding iCloud status column to song view. To do this go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
This will tell you if the songs have been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, inelligible or waiting. What is status of missing tracks.

How to keep some things in iTunes from being uploaded to iTunes Match

There are files that end up in my iTunes library, because they are mp3's I believe, that aren't music and I don't want uploaded to iTunes Match. For example, my UVerse phone messages are downloaded as mp3's and end up in my iTunes Library. How can I stop them from being uploaded to iTunes Match?

You have to disable iTunes Match to be able to change the Media Type. But are you sure they are being uploaded to the cloud? As Jim says, any tracks encoded at 96 Kbps and below are ineligible for iTunes Match. If if you have not done so you should enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser.

Why are only my iCloud songs being shown on iTunes

I went onto my iTunes today to find out that in my library I only had 25 songs. All which said they needed to be downloaded from iCloud (I believe, as I couldn't play them without pressing the download button). I had over 750 songs on my iTunes.
Why has this happened? I have lost so much music. Am I somehow in the wrong library or something?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

AVG is the most likely culprit. They have promised a patch, but you'll still need to repair your library yourself.
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.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl 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 copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, 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.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Whatever AV you use I would recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real time AV scanning process, however it would seem that AVG isn't currently obeying such exceptions.

Why can't I download a song I uploaded in iTunes Match

Of all my songs in iTunes that I placed in iCloud, there is one that I can't download. The program (iTunes or Music on my iPhone) keeps saying it is not available. It was a song that I made digital from the original cd. According to the iTunes store, the album is in the store. So I don't understand why it can't match it. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

If it is not matched, unfortunately there is something missing or not tagged correctly for Itunes Match to recognize it. I have a few songs that it does that for, mainly some Beatles songs which is surprising since they are popular.
I have found that after a few updates of Itunes Match library, it is getting better on matching.
The song should be still on your computer, unless you deleted it.

My imported songs into itunes match are not being uploaded but they are giving error messages

So when I am adding songs to my itunes library I am having issues with these songs being uploaded. I called apple support last time and they fixed the issue with me but it's started all over again. These songs have the little cloud with an exclamation point beside them and they say an error has occurred when uploading when i click on them. I have turned itunes match on and off and that didn't resolve the issue. Any ideas?

When you have that alert icon, generally that means iTunes can't find the original file. What happens if you do a Get Info on the track?

Is there a way to upload songs from my iTunes to another iPod that is connected with a different iTunes account without any songs being deleted?

My father has thousands of tracks in ipod nano uploaded from his desktop computer itunes, but he wants several tracks from my macbook pro laptop itunes. Is there a way to get my tracks into his nano without deleting the thousands of tracks. It seems ridiculous to delete all the tracks just to get a few more. By the way, he does not have a desktop computer anymore, and the only way to get tracks is from my laptop. Also some of the tracks in his nano, he does not own the CDs anymore that is why he does not want to automatically delete his thousands of tracks in his nano. When he had his desktop, he had his own itunes account, and i have my own itunes tracks. We want to share music although we have our own account. Please help. Thank you Apple.

No. If you have different iPod using a different iTunes acct. you have no choice but to delete the songs and upload your. itunes won't let you transfer songs from different iTunes acct.

Set your iPod so you can manually manage your songs, see here for details:http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

Do songs uploaded to itunes save on your hard drive

I have a stupid question. I am not too computer savy and am putting my CD's on my new IPOD. Do the songs you upload onto itunes save on your hard drive? I don't want to 'stop up my computer' with all the songs, so if they do, I would like to delete them from Itunes after they upload onto my IPOD. Any info would be helpful! Thank you!

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
Backing up your media in iTunes.
Please excuse the sermon, but we see far too many people lose their music because of no back up.

HT204406 I have some songs that are in Itunes Match limbo what can I do to fix it?

I am going to try not to get too wordy here, but bear with me:
I had an album which I bought from another website because itunes didnt have the artist in the itunes store. The files I received from this purchase were ALAC, about half the songs were uploaded to itunes match, while the other half were stuck on "waiting". After telling itunes to update itunes match several times via the menu I got frustrated that it wasn't uploading the "waiting" tracks, so I proceded onto a tactic I have had success with in the past. I created AAC versions of the song (I used Itunes to do this) and then removed the ALAC files from my itunes library. I then disabled itunes match and subsequently reenabled it. It now says the AAC copies cant be uploaded because they are marked as duplicates, however if I get on a device like my ipad I can't download these tracks because they have never actually been uploaded. I am unsure why itunes considers them duplicates when no other copies currently exist in itunes, or in the cloud. Does anyone know how to clear this up?

update:
I dont know what I did specifically that worked, but I kept deleting the items from my library, and re-adding them and updating itunes match, etc... and at one point after updating itunes match instead of the duplicate Icon they showed a cloud with an x indicating they had been removed from itunes match. I right clicked on them at this point and clicked add to icloud at which point they were uploaded to itunes match and are now visible from other devices.

Prevent songs from uploading to Match

I have a number of songs that I have on my machine, but do no want have uploaded to Match (Things such as Christmas Songs). I have unchecked them in iTunes but they still seem to be counting towards my 25,000 song limit on Match
If I delete them, but not trash them, they are removed from the cloud but then I lose visibility on my machine and cannot turn them on when I want to hear them
So the question is how can I have them on the machine but not have Match try to upload them

I also would like to know how I can prevent songs from uploading to iTunes match. I've got all kinds of audio test tracks, songwriting sketches, etc., and about 2000 sample audio tracks that go with a book that I own - I don't want ANY of these things going up to iCloud. It's a waste of resources and time. There should be a check box under Options in the song information window, or something like that, that allows for a track to not be uploaded to iCloud.
Also, unchecking a song doesn't prevent it from uploading to the cloud.

How can an iTunes Match user prevent songs from being uploaded to the iCloud?

Has anyone who is currently using iTunes Match found a way to prevent selected songs in their music library from being uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of audio files that are hour long mixes, but aren't quite large enough to run afoul of the 200MB size limit. I'd like to keep using iTunes Match, but would like to prevent it from trying to upload any of these larger files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

How can it that half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs from the same CD (ripped by Itunes) are not matched but uploaded?

I started with ITunes Match a few days ago (I have the latest versions of all OS's etc)
- The whole process took more then two days to complete for the first time.
- Half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs most of the time from the same CD (most ripped by ITunes) are not matched but uploaded(?)
- Complete CD's are not recognized, they are however available in the ITunes store (songs in my library not available in ITunes are an exception).
- The match part overall is less then 50%, which is a complete disappointment.....
- When I activate ITunes Match on my IPod, IPhone and IPad the art-work does not load or only partly.
- Loading songs on iOS is extremely slow... and that is definitely not due to my internal network.
- ICloud (ITunes Match) on the apple TV stops working after every 15 seconds because it losses connection to the ITunes server....
I am a real Apple fan for the last decade but what a disappointment is this......before I started with ITunes Match everything worked seamlessly.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?

I couldnt redeem w/o an apple ID so when i did it asked for a credit card. And I want to discontinue and remove my account from itunes but it wont let me, there is no account discontinue or removal of account

Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
2. Delete the app.
3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.
