Weird scrolling since iTunes Match is active?
Hello,
I have recently activated iTunes Match on my Mac. It works fine, except one thing: Scrolling through my iTunes library is REALLY weird now. When I use the two-finger swipe gesture to scroll down or up, it first scrolls really fast, then slowly for a long time. When I try to scroll back because it scrolled too far, it takes a while until the scrolling is finished, then it scrolls back (again much to far). If I for example swipe upwards three times in a row, it would scroll up to the start of my library and then bounce against the window corner several times.
This is so weird and a little hard to explain. Scrolling was all fine with iTunes before I started iTunes Match. Does anybody else experience this?
Are you on Lion? If so, I don't think this is related to iTunes Match. iTunes 10.5 adopted Lion's 'rubber-band' scrolling, but as you've noticed, Apple have done a really shoddy job: scrolling in iTunes is much less responsive than other apps, and the physics is quite different. There's not much you can do except leave Apple some critical feedback and hope they fix it in an update.

Hi, just upgraded my iphone 4s to ios6. all of my playlists are gone and if i create a new one, i does not appear on my phone. itunes match is activated. can someone help me?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Almost all songs are still on iPhone though iTunes match is active
Hello Togehther,
since some months I have iTunes Match active, and in principle it works fine. But I'm wondering, why it works as it does, at least for me:
on my iPad the entire music library was replaced with iTunes Match active (I think, this is, how it is supposed to work)
on my iPhone though, almost all titles are still sitting in the memory of the phone (12.4GB), and only few are just in the cloud. Even more strange: all titles are shown twice, once the "physical" one on the iPhone, and next to it again with the cloud symbol.
Any explanation for this strange behavior?
Thanks for your help.
GerhardI agree iTunes is counterintuitive and confusing. Poorly designed - it seems to be getting less user-friendly with each iteration. It feels more like a Windows program each time there is a significant new version.
With respect to this particular problem, I had (or thought I had) the same issue. I wanted to put songs on the iPhone but couldn't, even after turning off iTunes match on the computer. For me, the problem turned out to be that iTunes match was off in iTunes on the computer, but was still switched on on my iPhone. On the iPhone, I went to Settings>iTunes and App Store>iTunes Match and switched it off. -

I share an apple ID with my whole family, therefore there are hundreds of playlists and thousands of songsfrom the many computers. Can I make it so that only the playlists and songs from my computer to which my devices are synced to, are the ones that show up on my devices with out having to sync them all to my phone, ipad, etc.
iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Is iTunes Match down? Weird Problems...
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing some weird issues with iTunes (latest version) / iTunes Match at the moment. As soon as I want to add more than one song (in the cloud) to a playlist via drag'n'drop, the connection gets lost and all of my songs in the cloud turn grey. When I restart iTunes everything gets back to normal until I try to do the same thing. Tried it with several songs already, so it should not be a file problem.
Turning iTunes Match on and off (for several times) did not resolve this issue – it got even worse. Now I can just see my local files although it says that iTunes Match is active and working fine. Everytime I hit 'update iTunes match', it says that all of my songs (I can see the total number of songs) are available. However, they don't show up in my list and the icloud status for my local files turns to "waiting" (even though they are all in the cloud already). Waited for several hours now (sometimes it takes a bit till everything shows up), but nothing changed. Really need to have access my files :-(
Does anyone have an idea? The official apple system status says that iTunes Match should work fine...
Cheers,
MatHi,
Try holding option key whilst turning off match. Close itunes and reboot your computer. Try also rebooting your internet router.
Open itunes, turn on itunes match and select add this problem. When process is complete do you still have tracks "waiting"?
PS you do not need to select "Update Itunes Match" when adding new tracks. Match periodically runs when tracks are waiting. If you wish for process to start immediately, highlight tracks > ctrl+click and select add to icloud from pop up.

ITunes Match weird glitches on my iPhone 5
Hello Community.
I'm having a weird problem with iTunes Match, pmart playlists, and songs downloaded to my iPhone. I have used smart playlist on both my Mac and iPhone for as long as I can remember and havent incountered any significant issues until now.
The smart playlist in question I've named Top Rated Music.
The rules are as follows:
-Match all of the following rules:
-Rating is *****
-Genre does not contain Country
-Limit to 150 items selected by most recently added.
-Match only checked items
-Live updating
Now this works perfectly fine on my iPad, and Mac. It has always worked on my iPhone prior to iOS 7. What happenes is the playlist works for a few days then stops randomly shuffles the music in no order and not matching the Playlist on my Mac. Random songs will also not appear on the playlist. The only thing I do differently is I download all of the songs on my iPhone in that specific playlist. The reason is that Mobile providers in Canada offer nothing close to an unlimited data plan. Easy to go over if your playing music from the cloud.
Thats where I think the problem lies, the iPhone seems to glitch after a couple days when the music has downloaded. It also seems weird because you cant delete the music off the phone once its been downloaded. I've tried both through iTunes on my Mac and manualy managing music, as well as on the phone itself song by song.
Things i've tried.
-Restoring phone (Works for a couple days then glitches up again)
-Replacing phone (Same as above)
-Deleting song using iTunes (Songs wont delete just reapear)
-Deleting songs using iPhone (Songs dont apear anymore, but show up using itunes mac)
Any help would be appreciated.Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set to "use cellular data" to ON. Be aware this will use your mobile data allotment when streaming music.

Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia. Can I start using itunes music match while I am travelling without the actual music files attached to my itunes?
In your situation I strongly recommend you read over that KB article. The international iTunes Stores are not cross-compatible.
My understanding of how it would work is that when activating iTunes Match on your US Store account, any songs you have in your iTunes Library that were purchased from the AUS Store account will NOT be matched. As I understand it, those files will be uploaded (which means you need the files on a local HDD). I also do not think it is possible to have iTunes Match active on more than one store ID on the same computer. But since iTunes Match is not available internationally yet, that point is moot for the moment.
To be honest you might want to wait until the service is available internationally so you can guage how will it will serve you. -
Since I installed 5.1.1 every time I access the iTunes store app from my iPhone and iPad the iTunes store freezes. I cannot browse or purchase from the store. It freezes then closes out. I think it is linked to when My iTunes match is activated on my OS devices. I was on the phone with apple tech support for an hour, no help. Anyone else having connectivity issues with the iTunes store app from either the iPhone on iPad? If so were u able to fix it?
Please note i have tried turning off the phone, different card, it is not a bank issue and i have tried signing in and out of itunes

ITunes Match won´t allow me to see my playlist in my iPad2
I made a reproduction list at itunes, then when I synchronize my iPad 2, it wont appear in the iPad, nor in the resume music area from itunes, since it says itunes match is activated, I want the music to be IN the iPad, not in the cloud... this iPad is for my daughter and she has no internet service but when she is at home, so I wish to have my playlists as we did before, what do I have to do?... Please help!!! =(
You can try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
Itunes match and snow leopard, will the matched songs be on my macbook pro?
hi. if i sign up for itunes match from my macbook pro with snow leopard and i get all the tunes i have on there from cd's, will they now be on my laptop? or will they only be in the cloud and available to download to my iphone 4 with ios 5? i was getting psyched for all my old cd's that i ripped to sound way better on my macbook pro. will i also be able to make new burned cd's out of the new versions if they are on my laptop? thanks.
if i sign up for itunes match from my macbook pro with snow leopard and i get all the tunes i have on there from cd's, will they now be on my laptop?
They have to be on your laptop to begin with as iTunes Match scans your library to match the songs you do have.
Is your "laptop" another computer besides the Macbook Pro?

Since iTunes Match has not yet been completed/released, exactly how it works has not been explained.
You have a limit of 25000 songs.
Any/all songs in your iTunes library that match what is in iTunes will be in the cloud. No need to upload them.
You can download these songs to your computer and your iPhone.
Any songs in your library that are not matched, will be uploaded to the cloud. You can download these songs and they count against the 25,000 song limit.
You can keep the originals and/or download from the cloud (for example if your originals are not 256 kbps or better). -
After turning on iTunes Match, songs in playlist are in the wrong order across all devices.
So in iTunes, my client had several playslists, all with songs in a specific manual order. None of them are smart playlists.
After iTunes Match was activated, the song order seems to have changed in every playlist and on one iPhone where the same iTunes Match account was also enabled on.
We know they are in a different order as an iPod touch that does NOT have iTunes Match enabled yet still has the original order.
Just wondering what the best way to fix this would be. Should we manually drag the songs to the right order or is there a simpler way to revert to how they were ? Also would manually moving the update the order across all iTunes Match devices ?This worked although it was very clumsy (we had almost 3,000 files that had to be deleted and redownloaded. I could not figure out a way to sort all of the 'exclamation points' together so it took an hour or so to scan through the entire library list and delete each file individually and/or in small groups.) The download was very straight forward. In my experience (with iTunes match turned on,) we did NOT loose our playcounts.
Going through all those files I noticed several common themes that may have triggered the problem: 1) multiple artists, 2) special characters in the song title, artist and/or album name - particularly umlauts (we have quite a few german songs in our library.) 3) very long title, artist and/or album names.
I hope that someone from Apple is aware of these issues and working on them.... -
Some of my music is missing from iTunes Match and I can't add it manually.
I seem to have remembered being able to manually add any new music I got to the cloud by simply right clicking on an album or a song in iTunes. Now it seems as if that doesn't work anymore. I just got some new music and it's not showing up in my iPhone or iPad. Please help.
The issue lies with the info in each song/album. Since iTunes match tries to match your library with songs from their own library, the info in each album needs to show the specified artist and song names so iTunes Match can recognize it. (see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17055402#17055402)
That solved my issue. I changed the album artist to be the artist name only and re-logged in to iTunes Match, then checked my phone and it was there.
Thanks. -
I recently decided to pay for iTunes Match to save memory space on my two iphones, where I have an extensive music collection, which was synced with an iPad and several MacBooks and a desktop. However I am really horrified that in so doing I seem to have lost two thirds of my music which has just disappeared, as well as my playlists.
I think I've lost at least 700 tracks. I don't even know what I had. How can I get it back?
Please help.Where these tracks also stored in iTunes before you turned on iTunes Match? If not you're going to need to re-download them from your purchase history in the iTunes Store since iTunes Match only matches music in the iTunes library.

ITunes Match: How can I tell if a matched song is from the correct album?
Since iTunes Match uses my album art and metadata, is there a way to see the album art of the matched item from iTunes?
I have ripped hundreds of classical music CDs through the years into iTunes, and they all have album art (not from iTunes Match). Now that I have signed up for iTunes Match, how can I confirm that a matched item from iTunes is from the correct album?
I have read that the matching algorithm isn't perfect and can match to the wrong item. I have recently upgraded the quality of all my ripped music by downloading all the matches from iTunes Match, and replacing my local CD rips (I have backups).
So, if I ripped Beethoven's 9th by Herbert Von Karajan, is there a way to see the album art of the matched music from iTunes, so that I can confirm it didn't match the item to Beethoven's 9th by Bruno Walter?
Does the matching algorithm use song length/duration, or is it only using wave form sampling?
Thanks!
PaulThanks for the help Jim.
I'm not having any troubles with artwork changing, but I wish I were, because if the artwork changed then that would allow me to detect if the correct tracks are being matched.
I'm worried about waveform matching with classical music because I can have 2 pianists or 2 orchestras that play the same piece so it seems that the waveforms would be very similiar. I have many CDs of the same pieces of music but by different performers. For example, both performers play on a piano and both play the same piece of music. Wouldn't the waveforms be very similar?
So that's why I'm wondering if there is some way to get the artwork of the piece being matched, so that I can see what album it is coming from.
Do you think if I deleted my artwork and then matched, that I'd get the artwork injected into my matched music?
Thanks again for entertaining all my questions. Really appreciate it.
Paul
