Trying to set up ITunes match but cannot

My question is about installing ITunes Match. Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum.
I upgraded from Mac OS X Snow Leopard to Mac OS X Mountain Lion today, so I can use ITunes Match and ICloud. I then installed ICloud.
I bought a subscription to ITunes Match today but cannot install it or upload or download it or whatever you call it. It only does one of the three steps. It does step one which is gather info from my ITunes library. It stops then. It does not do step 2 which is matching my music with the ITunes store, and it does not do step 3 which is uploading artwork and remaining songs. At first I got an error message: it told me the problem was that I need to sign out of the ITunes store and then log back in. I did that, but it did not help. It still stops after step one, but I no longer get an error message. Please advise.

ok, so I have not backed up my icloud as i had so much stuff so now just set up as a new phone and all hunky dory

I have set up Itunes Match and cannot see the tracks in icloud on my ipad

Folks - I have authenticated Match on my laptop and my ipad, matched my library to the icloud (all are clean - no errors), set up the Music App to enable Match and when I start up the Music App I am not seeing any tracks but those downloaded on the ipad (show all music is turned on). Help!

i think it depends on how many songs you have in your library. for me it took about 10 mins or so before all 13000 songs loaded up and showed on my ipad and iphone. try itunes match off on your ipad in the settings and then quick the music app and then turn match back on and then start the music app again and wait a few minutes.

That's designed for you to give your child(ren) an allowance to use in the store. You can not give yourself an allowance...

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works. I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized. I am trying to set up home sharing but get iTunes says:
"Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?" I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
Thanks,
Richard

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

I got 25 dollar at my acount i was trying to subscribe itune match but it ask me credit card

i got 25 dollar at my acount i was trying to subscribe itune match but it ask me credit card

Let me save you a load of grief. Login to My Verizon http://www.verizonwireless.com the log in to your account. Click on Pay Bill you then can add the new credit card via the edit feature or just as an add new payment method.
It is very easy. The 12 digit name or number I can not even guess. For your payment to verizon you give each account you set up a name. that may be what its looking for. Just set up a new payment method. then go back in and delete the old payment method. Verizon will delete the method you don't use in 6 months.
Good luck

iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder. Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure. In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
What exactly do you mean "not recognized"? The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone? The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced. You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

Hi printspat,
From what I gather, you have a payment method selected for your iTunes Store account which isn’t being accepted when setting up Family Sharing.
Take a look at the he article linked below provides, which provides a lot of great information about Family Sharing, and make sure you're trying to use a valid payment method for setting up Family Sharing.
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iOS device or Mac. When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.*
Cheers,
-Jason

Did you try turning off iTunes Match (Store>Turn off iTunes Match), then turning it back on?
