What happens if a song that is unavailable in the iTunes store and gets uploaded and takes up your iCloud storage later becomes available for matching?

Will it replace the uploaded version with the 256 kbps version?

I hope so.  I've got about 1000 songs that uploaded that are in the iTunes Store and didn't match for some reason.

  • HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?

    Songs that I have had previously downloaded from various other sources, but NOW ALL of a sudden they DO NOT PLAY on my IPHONE and DISPLAY a RED STOP BUTTON in a red round circle next to the title.  Everytime I click on it it DOESNT play.   What happen???? How can i get them to play.,   Why should i have to pay for the songs, and why are they in the ITUNES store and not in my regular playlist.

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it.  How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store?  when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?

    I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it.  How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store?  when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?  I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.

    You buy one and only one download.
    It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Why do songs that I purchased from the iTunes store get "chopped" after a few seconds of playing?

    You will not get recharged if you download them from the Purchased section of the iTunes Store and you are signed in with the Apple ID they were originally purchased with.

  • ITunes can't locate the songs that I bought from the iTunes store on my new computer

    I just got a new computer today and I backed up all my songs from old computer onto an external hard drive. When I sent my songs over onto my new computer and freshly downloaded iTunes, the songs that I actually purchased from the iTunes store won't play. It says that the item cannot be located.

    Hello, brandma4. 
    More than likely iTunes was set to read the media on the external drive.  If this is the case and the drive is not connected when attempting to play music, you will receive these alerts.  The other possibly is that iTunes is not directed to where you placed the media on the computer.  Here are the best troubleshooting articles that direct you on how to correct this issue.

  • Is there any way to find out all songs that I purchased from the iTunes Store?

    I have purchased many songs from iTunes Store, and I was wondering if there was a way to find which songs I would need to authorize, so I don't bother copying them to my work computer.   I can tell if I do this one at a time, but I have over 10,000 songs to go through.do
    Thanks!

    If they're in your iTunes library, try this AppleScript, courtesy of the incredibly-useful Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes:

  • I have just purchased a new pc and when I try to play 2 separate albums that I bought from the itunes store I get a message that my computer is not authorized. I then follow the steps to authorize it and the same thing happens when I attempt to play this

    Just purchased a new pc with windows 8. Transferred over my itunes. With 2 different albums in my library, when I attempt to play this music I get a message saying my computer is not authorized. I then sign in to authorize the computer, itunes  tells me it is indeed authorized, I attempt to play this music again and I get the same "your computer is not authorized" message again, and again....
    Any help out there on this one would be appreciated. If my question is not clear enough I will attempt to help.
    Thank you,

  • We are using apple tv to try to access our itunes account on the computer.  We see our library of music but when we click on the song it searches for a long time and then says that it cannot access the itunes store.  Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?

    No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
    Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
    Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

    Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
    It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
    In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
    It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

  • I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

  • TS3297 Every time I open iTunes to listen to music, not access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box, over and over again. When I try to access the iTunes Store it does not except my password. This has happened since the last update.

    Everytime I open iTunes to play music, NOT to access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box for the iTunes Store. If I click cansel the box pops up a second time.
    When I try to sign in to the iTunes Store it does not except the password and pops up the sign in box afain,and again endlessly.
    This started happening about two weeks ago.

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

    Perhaps the copyright holders chose to remove them. What album were you after?
