Subscribed to iTunes Match with iTunes ID but iPad iCloud uses MobileMe and doesn't recognize iTunes subscription. Help?

When I subscribed to Match this morning iTunes used the account I set up ages ago. When I set up iCloud on the iPad it pushed me to the MobileMe account but now the iPad doesn't recognize the iTunes Match subscription but it does exist on the AppleTV since I set that up independently. Is there a way to Match MobileMe ID and iTunes ID so they know they go/come from the same place?

Until Apple allow us to merge Apple IDs, no.
But if you go to Settings / Store on the iPad and change the Apple ID there to the one you used for Match, everything should work. Essentially it means your iPad will use one ID for iCloud, and one for the iTunes store, but they're kept separate, so everything should be fine...

Accidentally bought iTunes Match with Apple ID instead of iCloud/MobileMe e-mail.

I bought iTunes match with my Apple ID instead of my mobileme/iCloud account and now my iPhone 3GS won't let me use the itunes match because it says I need to have an iCloud account to use it, which I do, but it's not connected to my iTunes Match, my apple ID is.
My general question is why can you buy iTunes Match with an apple ID if you can't even use it on iDevices?
Is there any way for me to fix this problem?
Or did I just waste 25 dollars on something I will never be able to use on my iPhone?

You did it right. Your iCloud account is not necessarily the same thing as your iTunes Account ID. Since you were able to successfully enable iTunes Match you used your iTunes account ID, which is the properly ID to use. To enable iTunes Match on your iPhone log into the iTunes Store using the same iTunes Store ID you used to enable iTM in the first place. Go to Settings > Store and enter the correct ID.

My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

How much free space do you have? If it is low, installers may not be able to run properly.

I share my itunes account with my kid but he is growing up and leaving for college soon. How do we breakup but not loose his music?

How does one break up with your kid on itunes and not loose all their music? My teen says if he sets up his own account or a new account with apple he will loose his music. Im sure lots of parents have this issue with kids as they grow into teenagers. Any advice much appreciated.

No. It will be in the same library.
You can have content from more than one iTunes account in the same library.
I did suggest saving the whole music folder to an external drive and then saving to new computer and deleting what he didn't want,he was less than impressed !
As opposed to sitting down now and going through everything before it gets copied over?
Kids...
It'll work but why not do it when you have the time and you are on your own computer rather than having to do it all at once?
Or you can quit iTunes, copy the entire iTunes folder to the external, open it (hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the extrenal) then go through and delete what he doesn't want.
Then copy the folder on the external to his computer.

Both myself and my wife have 2 separate iTunes accounts, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Music purchased on my wife's account appear on our computers iTunes library but my iPad cannot access the music she has purchased. Is there any way to overcome this

The only way to do what you want is to log into your wife's iTunes Store account on your iPad. Doing this will lock you out of your account for 90 days.

Hello there Jameskuo47,
In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
This section specifically:
To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Note:
iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
latest iOS software here'
Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
All the best,
Sterling

Hi,
Why can't you hear your music on your mac book? Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribe to iTunes Match.

HT4914 iTunes match with gift card

i want to buy itunes match wit a gifgard
but why is not working i have money on my account
i want this to work but how

From Apple's support article on How to Subscribe to iTunes Match:
You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.
Do you therefore have a credit card associated with your account? It not, that's the problem.
Hope this helps.

ITunes Match with multiple computers

I bit the bullet and subscribed to iTunes Match. Only I did it from my work computer (registered to my iTunes account) which contauns a mere 1.5k songs. But what happens when I go home? My home computer has 40k+ songs on it. How do I choose what goes to the cloud?

I have 2 relevant AppleIDs authorized for the music on my iTunes (ONE old long-time Apple ID for iTunes purchases, bound to pre-mac.com email; ANOTHER newer mac/me.com ID which had mostly been used only for App store stuff until iCloud -- but which I figure has to be the one under which I try to consolidate in the future).
I've taken the plunge (sprang for Match when I was signed in with the newer account) and find that most music from BOTH accounts is getting matched. Turn on the "iCloud status" column in iTunes -- and sort with that column header -- to see what's "Matched" and what's "Uploaded" and what's "Ineligible" (or "Error"). [You can also make "smart playlists" based on iCloud status, which helps troubleshoot.]
I found two albums worth of "ineligible" Music files -- turns out I had forgotten about a third ID at one point about 8 years ago, those two albums were attached to that one. HYPOTHESIS: it won't upload stuff for an account that's not "authorized" for the iTunes incarnation that's hosting the process. I no longer have access to the email, so I assume I can't authorize those.
WORKAROUND: if you have lots of music from old accounts, look for TuneClone (3rd-party app that "burns" virtual CDs from m4a and m4p files, so you can re-import them as if they'd come from CDs.
I'm still nervous, by the way, about Match's warning that it will "replace" the existing library on my iPhone (despite assurances online that nothing is actually removed), and I've enabled Match only on my (small-capacity) iPad for now. Playback requires a few seconds' patience, but I'm pleased to have access to all my files.
Now with a big hard drive on the new iMac I'm finally motivated to import many of those old CDs of music that I knew wouldn't all fit on my iDevices (nor, for that matter, on the hard drive of my older machines).

HT2204 What is the best way to use iTunes Match with two Apple ID's that have purchased content?

Hello.
In my early years of using iOS devices i have unwittingly made the mistake of creating a second Apple ID for my second device. So now i have two Apple ID's with purchased content associated with them.
I have turned on iTunes Match with the account that has the bulk of my music linked to it. But my second account has maybe 150-200 songs (and lots of apps) that i really like and don't want to loose. Activating iTunes Match for the main account wiped these 150-200 songs off my iOS devices and replace them. Is it possible to have content from both my apple id's on my devices at the same time? Is it possible to combine the content from both of my accounts?

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.

HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match. i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain. is this going to screw my wifes account up?

If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

What's the best way to use iTunes match with 4 iPhones and an ipad2

Currently have iPhone 4 (2), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G (used as touch-no sim), and iPad 2. We use one apple id to purchase with. We use a windows 7 pc and iTunes 10.5.....latest ver. My questions are kinda multi faceted, but I'm thinking iTunes match can help. Ok....
Is iTunes match cloud space the same as iCloud space?
I have ~15000 mp3's. I'd like to use iTunes match to "clean up" my library. So, once I get my matched tunes up there will all my devices see that library?
What about playlists? Do they just stay the same and locally reside on iDevices?
I don't have a Mac yet, well I don't have a new one. I currently have a iBook g4 1.0 ghz with 1.25mb ram and osx 10.5 on it. I would like to move all my music to a 1tb nas drive that I have.....iTunes does see it. Then do all my iTuning from that machine for the next couple of months until I save more money and by an iMac.
However, it seems as though this ITunes might be able to this better.......
I'm terribly confused...I have 10+ years in IT, albeit mostly all PC. That being said, I am ready to switch, I just feel like I'm so deep into a mess it seems impossible to do any of this cleanly.
Thank you,

ITunes Match with 2 iTunes-libraries and one Apple-ID

Hello.
I am using iTunes on a Mac, iPhone and iPad.
I have two iTunes-libraries with one Apple-ID, one local on my MacBookPro an one with my HomeServer.
The change between the libraries is realised with a program named "Libra".
Now i have iTunes Match and the sync with the local library was pefect.
But what happened if i change at home the library when i want using the library with my HomeServer?
Is it possible or make it problems?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.
Thomas

I'm not familar with Libra, but if it gives you a way for iTunes to be associated with another library at launch, meaning it looks and behaves the same way your original iTunes library does, then when you launch and link to that library, initially iTunes Match will be turned off. You will have to turn it back on (if prompted to "add this computer, just do it, and if asked for your Apple I.D. just do it).
Once iTunes Match is turned on, it will scan your library and the results will be added to the initial match. Providing everything in your second library is determined to be eligible (low-bitrate songs won't be, neither will audiobooks, videos, etc.) you will have a merged library available in the cloud
