This item was not added to icloud because an error occured

I started seeing an error cloud next to many of my songs in iTunes just today. Of several thousand songs, this now affects about two-thirds my library. Funny that this appeared the same day that I paid to have my iTunes Match account renewed for year three.
I've seen some fixes where you convert all of these to mp3 files, then back to ACC and throw away the duplicates. That might take weeks.

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

This item was not added to iCloud because an error occurred.

Ok. So I received this error on a song in my iTunes library.. Hmm. I was able to solve this by running "update" iTunes Match.

I've just run into this problem after finally completing the looooooong upload of all of my "unknown" tracks. I have 70 such '!' tracks, very annoying.
I'm not onboard with the proposed "convert MP3 to MP3" solution for two reasons:
1. If I'm not mistaken, doing this will reduce the quality of those tracks. After all, you're converting a lossy file to another lossy file, so even if your new file is 320 kbps, you're inherently losing *some* degree of sound quality.
2. Many of these tracks are already in various playlists, so unless I want to remove all of them from those lists, I have to individually re-add the newly converted tracks to every list. There's an hour of my life that I'll never get back.
I'm all for a seamless work-around, but this ain't it. Fingers crossed that an iTunes update with more inclusive importing is on the way.

When I try to add a song ti iTunes match it said (This item is not eligible for iCloud.)Why

When I try to add a song ti iTunes match it said (This item is not eligible for iCloud.)Why??

Sorry, Maybe I didn't explain that correctly.
The song has to be available to purchase in the iTunes Store in order for it to be used in Match.
So if you purchased a song from another source or imported it from a CD it sould show up in Match!
however if say you purchased or imported a rare mix CD, that would not show up.
that is the first step to check anyway.

Salve a tutti, sto cercando da stamattina di effettuare il Backup del mio IPhone da 32 gigabyte. Quando avvio la sincronizzazione e il Backup mi esce scritto '' iTunes non ha potuto eseguire il backup di Iphone perche si è verificato un errore. Ho provato su un altro iphone (4) e tutto funziona correttamente. Non posso ripristinare il dispositivo perchè ho troppi dati importanti sopra. Vi prego aiutatemi.

Ok I tried to delete the backup by using your location via preferences, but I did not find any file, maybe because I've already deleted following the path to the disk. I repeat that I have 2 devices and the problem only occurs on one

My iphone will not backup to my computer, when I try it says "could not backup the iphone because an error occured. how can I fix this?

Hello there Justin,
I found a nice lil gem about troubleshooting backup issues with iTunes from an iOS device. Named iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529.
Here is a general over view of what the troubleshooting will entail. Each section has instructions in the article.
Simply restarting the computer and the iOS device may resolve a backup issue. After restarting, attempt to restore again. Learn how to restart your iOS device.
To perform the rest of steps in this article, you need to be logged in to the computer as an administrator. If you're not sure if you have administrator access, contact the owner of the computer or the system administrator.

I am getting an error message on my itunes when trying to back up my iphone 4s, itunes could not back up iphone because an error occurred.

Please help me!!!! I have tried all of the steps that I have found listed for this issue. I am not sure if I should try to contact my phone provider or not. I am getting an error message without an error code. That says: Itunes could not back up Iphone because an error occurred. Please if anyone one knows any steps I should take please let me know. My iphone and Mac and iTunes are all up to date.
Itunes: Version: 11.0.2
MacBook Pro: OSX: 10.8.3
iphone4s: iOS 6.1.3
Thank you

Excellent!
Please note the following:
Note: iCloud Backup does not back up music, movies, and TV shows that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, or any podcasts, audio books, or photos that you originally synced from your computer. iCloud Backup will restore your purchased music, movie, and app content from the iTunes and App Stores during the background restore process. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
The above comes from this article:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Best of luck with this.

TS2529 iTunes could not backup the iphone because an error occurred

I have iphone 4S 64GB. When I tried to backup today I get the message : "Itunes could not backup the iphone because an error occurred". I have tried with restoring my iphone and received the same error message. I am using iTunes 11.0.4.4 and my iphone has IOS 6.1.3. I also tried to backup my iPhone (right click on your iPhone under devices and click Back Up) but w/o any success. Can anybody help please.

Unfortunately the problem continues. I deleted the backup in the way described, but could not create a new one as the same message appears.
There is no any error code.
At the same time I have the problem to sign in into my Apple ID account. This started when tried to activate my imessage or face time. It gives me the followin message: "Could not sing in. Please check your nework connection and try again." or Could not sing in. Apple ID or password is incorrect." I know that both is OK. Network connection works fine and my password and Apple ID is correct. I log into my Apple account in iTunes without any problems. Should I restore my iPhone to factory settings or there is other solution to this problem.
Thanks

I don't know the solution as to why you can't back up to iTunes, but another option you can try is to backup to iclouds http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

HT4972 itunes could not restore the iphone because an error occurred

Attempting to update wife's 3GS to latest iOS 5.1.1... update downloaded in iTunes... iPhone backed up as far as I can tell apps, contacts and everything like pictures and stuff... system was pushed to the firmware/software update up until the point of restoring from the backup all of the above files that should've been stored... an error message as in the SUBJECT line pops up and then next dialog is error code (-1).
iTunes shows that a 'new' iPhone has been attached and the options are to setup a new iPhone or restore from backup... i try selecting the desired phone backup from the drop down (listed are two phones labeled as phone #1 - mine, #2-hers)... error occurs everytime... haven't tried choosing my phone. I'm hoping the phone isn't bricked at this point as it's sitting with the Apple icon on screen and that's it.
Any help would be appreciated rather than having to go to the 'Genius'es at an Apple store that never seem to be any help at all.

TS4124 "This item is not eligible for iCloud" - but it's a song I bought from iTunes. What do I have to do to get it to be 'eligible'?

Any ideas? If it's a matter of something that was bought with an old apple ID, how to tell apple the two IDs belong to the same person?

Troubleshooting iTunes Match

VS 2010 This file could not be uploaded. The following error occured: External component has thrown an exception.

I just started getting this error message from my VS 2010 VB code, earlier this code ran without the error message. I suspect corruption since this error does not occur on another computer of mine. I tried repairing the installation of VS
2010 without results. Then I uninstalled VS 2010 and reinstalled it, but the error continues. The error message is not very definitive so I do not know how to proceed. I could provide the code, but it is rather lengthy and I don't get this error
with the VS 2010 installed on my laptop. So, I don't think my code is the issue. I would be very grateful for any suggestions you may care to offer for isolating and correcting this problem. Thank you. .......................Phil Hoop

Hi Phil,
What’s the template type of the project? Is it a BI project? Based on my research, the issue may be related to the following factors:
.NET Framework version of the project. If it targets .NET Framework 4.0 or higher, modify it to target .NET Framework 3.5 instead.
Debug or Release Configurations. If the project is set to Release Configurations, try to set it to Debug. For more information, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wx0123s5(v=vs.100).aspx
I noticed that you have asked another question in the asp .net forum, if the issue is not SQL Server BI project related, I suggest that you continue troubleshooting within the
thread in the asp .net forum.

Mike Yin
