Trouble loading itunes match on apple tv

I am having trouble loading iTunes Match on my Apple TV. It has the latest OS, the correct account is accessed and iTunes Match is turned on. I tried logging out and back in, but songs from the iCloud just won't load. It says it may take a few minutes, but it has been over 4 hours in the latest attempt. No problem accessing the iCloud on my iPhone 4.
There are only about 3,000 songs in the cloud, so how long should this take ?
Anybody have any ideas ? I subscribed to have my songs available on Apple TV...
Thanks for any input.

Yes, the initial scan, match and upload process is completed. As far as my network is concerned, there is nothing unusual happening, just some emails etc - normal stuff and I am on high speed.
On Apple TV, the "loading circle" just keeps on spinning, but nothing else is happening. Not sure what else to try...

How long does it take to load iTunes Match on Apple TV?

I have a large (roughly 20k) iTunes library and after managing to get it synced on my laptops and phone (no small feat, required a network upgrade) now I can't seem to get it to load on Apple TV. My question is whether this needs to be a long single session update or will Apple TV work on it every time I try it and just get it done a month or two from now?
Thanks in advance, I hope!

It needs to be done in a single session. If you've been turning it off then it's having to rescan your library each time. If your router is in a different space then that will also impact performance. Try setting the sleep to never and give it some time.
Once the process is complete, you will have access to your library (see screenshot)

"Loading iTunes Match" showing each time I start Music

Hi,
I've recently had some trouble with iTunes match, where it wasn't downloading songs, although I could stream them fine. I spoke to someone from Apple who suggested turning off iTunes Match, then do a 'Reset All Settings', then re-enable iTunes Match. This seems to work fine, as I can now download songs.
Since performing the above 'reset', each time I start 'Music', it displays 'Loading iTunes Match', the progress bar gets all the way across, then I see my songs (not my playlists though - but that's a separate question). However, if I come out of Music, and go back in, I see the same message..
I've now tried about 10 times, with re-boots and turning off/on iTue

Hi,
There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

Opening Playlists with iTunes Match restarts Apple TV

I recently got iTunes Match. I have successfully connected my iTunes account with my Apple TV - I can see all of my artists, songs, album art, etc. - but I cannot even load the playlists. When I try, my Apple TV says "Loading iTunes Match" for a few seconds, then the pinwheel appears and circles for a few seconds, and then the Apple TV restarts. I can shuffle all my songs, play any artist, and everything works fine then.
To fix the problem, I have turned off Match, disconnected my iTunes account, reset the Apple TV, logged back into iTunes, and turned iTunes Match again. This is the only solution I have found in other threads, but I have done this a couple times on different days with no success. My Apple TV is fully updated, iTunes Match works on all of my other devices, etc.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix I'm not trying?

Hi onlyalullaby,
If you are having issues such as you describe with your Apple TV I would suggest doing a restore of the device. See this article -

How can I find the status of loading iTunes match? I set up my iPhone 5S over 6 hours ago and still no music. No status bar - I don't know if anything is even downloading

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It shouldn't take anywhere near that, I'd try again, make sure you have a good connection.

How do I activate iTunes Match on Apple TV? Just signed up for it but can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV. It works on my phone and ipad.

Ive had to reboot my Apple TV before I had the option to enable iTunes Match but it did not see my music library. I tried a second reboot and it still says my music library is empty. Its been several days and I can access my library on a Windows PC, my Mac and my iPad so Im all synced up, my Apple TV apparently just wants to be stubborn.

HT1551 trouble accessing itunes store with apple tv

Multiple Apple IDs (2) with Purchases & iTunes Match. Apple TV Purchases. Not happy to have to log in/out to view and enjoy my Purchase Contest. What's the solution?

Hi
i ran into the same problem. surprisingly though, i am not using multiple apple id and just one mac.
i did change both the account (apple id) and the computer (from pc to a mac server), but home sharing is on and the apple tv (1) is synced with the new computer.
i can connect to the itunes store and browse through it (signed in at all times). i cannot purchase any content and cannot play transferred rentals from the computer (apple tv is not authorised...)
somehow, it seems the apple tv was stuck with a previous id.
i have just now re-authorised my computer on the account and will give the apple tv another try. i did notice a message during the re-authorisation process. the apple tv is being authorised. this gives me hope.
in any case, your setup seems to be a dream come through. i decided to phase out my high end multiroom linn kivor system (over 20k back 6y ago) to an itunes based system. apparently you managed to build something.
i tried an itunes based nas but gave up due to complex operation (and overheating on top) and went for a mac server. i will be using windows clients though.
most of my content is cd based. can you sync purchased content between pc's? or with a server?

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.

Why does streaming iTunes Match to Apple TV from iOS devices work fine but from my Mac Mini not so fine?

As the topic heading states... if I airplay anything from an iOS device I have no issues but from my Mac Mini I am plagued with problems. If I airplay iTunes Match to Apple TV quite often the sound will drop or stutter. I will have to pause the song and start it again.
Also I can be playing everything fine and then all of a sudden my Mac will lose sight of the Apple TV and the only thing that will resolve it is restarting the Apple TV.
Both my Mac and Apple TV and iOS devices are running the very latest updates.

ITunes Match on Apple TV ignores my custom start/end times on tracks

Some of my tracks in iTunes have custom start/end times set (to cut out skits and stuff). These set start/end times are respected by all my iTunes Match devices (iPod and desktop iTunes) except my Apple TV.

Hey guys,
I ended up here for having the same issue. iTunes Match playing the song for 20 seconds or so on Apple TV and then giving me error message saying iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. No trouble shooting worked for me as it didn't for you either. After using my apple tv for several months and experiencing occasional glitches that are somewhat similar to this probelm I boiled it down to 2 possible reasons. 1) some kind of bug that is fixable with latest firmwares Apple releases. 2) problems with Apple's servers. My best guess for this particular problem is the server problems because everything was playing fine until yesterday (Saturday) and the current frmware was released few weeks ago. It is strangely coincedental that most glitches seem to appear over the weekends. About couple of months ago I tried to watch an episode from a show and it would tell me the show would be available to watch in 24 hours. The loading was painfully slow. The problem only lasted a weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem disappears tomorrow although I might be wrong.

Upload troubles with iTunes Match

I have entered a cd in in my MacBook Pro and converted it.
Now it starts with the troubles, after 3 hours waiting it only has 3 numbers uploaded and the rest is waiting?
iTunes Match starts over and over again.
Is there something I can do about it?

I've done as you suggested. Deleted the problem tracks and re ripped to itunes using apple lossless. When match kicked in it matched track one but with a wrong version. (It's a hapless album and the track its matched is the same track but clearly has a gap at the end) its also been stuck for hours on "uploading artwork and remaining songs" 0 of 19 uploaded. I called apple support and they advised me to uninstall and reinstall itunes which I've done too. No help. Any other ideas? Just so you know, the same issue happens on albums that aren't gapless too.
