Turned on Itunes Match, now Itunes says my Ipad is over capacity

So, today I turned on Itunes Match and let it run while I slept.  When I woke up, it was finished.
Problem is, now my 64-gig Ipad is 49gig over capacity, according to Itunes... even though I use the "convert music to 128kpps AAC" option and it used to be able to hold my entire music collection, now it apparently won't anymore.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm using my iPad as we speak, and under the "Music" screen in Settings, the "iTunes Match" option is off.  I also looked under "iCloud" in Settings and there is no option to sync music. 
All my music syncing is down via iTunes, which is where I've selected the option to use the 128k music for my iPad.  I would think that no other setting would be able to override that, since I deliberately selected it...
The size of my music collection shouldn't have changed unless I'm misunderstanding how this works.  My music is on my computer at home, and it's that music that is synced to my iPad.  Unless I missed something, the new 256k music is available on my devices but not my PC at home.  While it's turned on on my iPhone so I can stream my music, it's off on my iPad.  So I still don't understand how my iPad can suddenly be over-capacity since I'm syncing to the exact same music collection as always... seventy-nine gigs worth, 5500ish songs... it should be compressed down to thirty-nine gigs at 128k for my iPad... at least, that's how it's worked for the past year or so...

  • Enabled itunes match now itunes wont import music

    Recently enabled iTunes on my computer, now iTunes 10 won't import any music, which is annoying as a lot of my music still needs to be imported, and I don't mean to the cloud i mean to the actual sofware.
    Has anyone had the same problem, any way to fix it??

    Three solutions or workarounds I have seen as this clearly is a bug. I do not use iTunes match and have never seen these issues myself
    1) Store > Update iTunes Match if you have it turned on
    2) Logout of iTunes Store and login again
    3) Download the free single of the week. I have no idea why this works but some people have said it worked for them

  • Why does iTunes say my iPad is "over capacity" when it isn't?

    Hi. I saw someone posted about there iPhone last night and added my question there, but since I've not had a response I will create a new question.
    I went to sync my iPad yesterday and I got an error saying it was "over capacity." I checked online and saw many discussions about the Other folder (for lack of a better name), so checked the information on how to overcome this. None of the solutions helped so I did a Restore. The iPad set up again and I went to sync, but I get the same error. Not it claims I am 1.8 GB "over capacity." In reality, I am trying to sync about 7 GB of data on an iPad with over 13 GB of free space. I tried updating iTunes (done), checked for an update to the iPad (I have the latest version of the OS), and tried rebooting both the computer and the iPad. I still get the same error.
    How can I get iTunes to sync my data?
    Thanks for any assistance you can offer. Please don't refer me to this article:

    Those are the things I tried yesterday that didn't work. New ideas?
    Thanks,

    Are you sure it's not iCloud that's "over capacity".

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • After updating to ios 8.2 i cant even used my phone at all it keeps saying connect to itunes and now its saying restoring its been over 2 hrs

    Attempted to download new ios 8.2 software, I can't use my phone now as it is saying connect to iTunes?!  So I connected to iTunes and it isn't doing ANYTHING.
    THIS IS CRAZY!!! Apple - GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER!! Don't release an update if it isn't ready!!!!

    I just had my phone 5c screen replaced and it was working fine until I tried updating it 30 mins later, I was getting error messages and couldn't move past the Apple logo. so when I tried a factory restore I get a message saying It cannot restore or update my phone. Now my phone is stuck on restore mode screen and cannot load anything. I've tried restore on multiple computers and updating to latest itunes versions. Anyone know whats going on?

  • ITunes Match now stalls on step 1.  I have a PC with Windows Vista.  I've use Match for a long time

    iTunes Match now stalls on step 1.  I have a PC with Windows Vista.  I've used iTunes Match for a long time & it has worked well until last week.  Most of my songs now have a dotted outlined cloud beside them & I can't download to my phone.  6 new albums can't be seen at all.  I've turned off Match (with shift key down) & turned it back on - restricted my upload speed to 75% of max - I even uninstalled iTunes & re-installed it.  Any suggestions?

    iTunes Match is stalled in the same place again today.  Step 1 seems to have completed as the blue progress bar is complete.  The message says "Delivering your iTunes Match results..."  When I went to bed last night, this is where iTunes was stuck.  But this morning, Match had stopped trying to "deliver."  It obviously did not finish because 6 new albums do not show up on my iPhone 5 - all of the 3 steps on the Match page were grayed out this morning & the "Start" button was available.
    This is what I did yesterday - I looked at My Music and clicked "Songs."  I then added the "iCloud" column and sorted by that field.  I found about 100 files that had a problem of some sort (cloud with exclamation point inside).  Each of them had lost track of where the music file was - even though the music files were exactly where they should have been.  I re-linked (one at a time) all of the music files to the song titles.  In the cloud field one song was described as "ineligible for iTunes Match."  It had a could with a line drawn through it.   I didn't know what that meant, so I deleted the song.
    I then turned off iTunes Match holding the shift key down & iTunes began collecting information from my library.  This took several hours but it did seem to complete because it changed to the "delivering results" message.  However, this morning I noticed that all of the files I re-linked yesterday still had the "error cloud" symbol today - a cloud with an exclamation mark inside.  Yesterday these songs wouldn't play until I re-linked the files.  Today they will play as expected, but they still have the "error cloud.'  To add to my confusion albums marked with the "error file" are still able to be downloaded to my phone, but the songs with the "error cloud" will not play smoothly on my PC.  They stutter regularly throughout playback.  However, if I download one of those songs or albums to my phone, it plays perfectly.
    I hope this helps someone to explain what my problem is & the appropriate solution.  I have a little more than 12,000 songs in my library in case that makes a difference.  Should I just delete the files with he "error cloud"?  All of the songs appear to be still in the cloud because they are available for download to my phone.

  • When syncing iphone, turned itunes match off, itunes doesn't recognise iphone :S

    iPad can connect only in one iTunes Library. If you want to connect it to a iTunes Library then you have to erase it. You can erase it from iTunes. Make sure you iPad doesn't have a password, or if it has a password make sure that you connect to the computer and enter the password of your iPad

  • Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    iPhone 5 (64GB)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 (64-bit Win7)
    Just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem.  Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
    I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
    I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...
    *edit*
    A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

  • I had my computer repaired, and when I got it back I had to reinstall iTunes. Now iTunes won't authorize this computer because it says we already have 5 devices authorized, but this is the same computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe.  You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
    To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US).  Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

    Hey jeburg,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone is in recovery mode. To exit recovery mode, try restarting the device. If the issue persists, try restoring with iTunes:
