What makes a song 'ineligible' for match?

I have a number of files in my itunes library which are not uploaded to itunes match. They are all labled 'ineligible'. Are there certain types of recordings i.e. aiff, mp3, Sd2f which are not uploadable? What can I do to make them 'eligible'?

-Songs encoded as MP3 or AAC that have been matched to the iTunes Store will be made available for download as 256 kbps as AAC from iCloud.
-Songs encoded as MP3 or AAC that cannot be matched to the iTunes Store will be uploaded as is. These songs will be made available for download in the same format it was uploaded in.
-Songs encoded as MP3 or AAC that do not meet certain quality criteria will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud.
-Songs encoded as ALAC, WAV, or AIFF, will be transcoded in iTunes to 256 kbps AAC when uploaded to iCloud.
-Song files over 200 MB will not be uploaded to iCloud.
-Matched songs in your local library will not automatically be transcoded to 256 kbps AAC. To obtain a higher quality transcoding, download the matched songs from iCloud.

What makes a field eligible for selecting data in a subreport?

Hello,
I have posted the following question to [StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4366702/what-makes-a-field-eligible-for-selecting-data-in-a-subreport], but it has so far generated no replies. I decided to cross-post it here to see if I could get a better result.
The TL;DR of it is that I have a field which I should be able to link in my Subreport, but it does not appear, and I was wondering what I need to do to make it appear.
I have a Crystal Report I'm trying to recreate from scratch after an update from VS2008 to VS2010 caused it to implode horribly.
I've gotten most of the way through, but I'm at a stage where I'm linking a field in the Main Report to a corresponding field in the Subreport.
I have set up a bunch of Database fields in the Subreport, I've added the table I want, TableA, I've linked it up as everything was linked in the original report, with TableA at the head of the linking chain, so that all the rows I want can be derived from the result of that first query ( Actually, all of the links from the original Report were red in the Database Fields linking dialog, whereas mine are a bit rainbow-y. All the links in TableA are red, though... _ )
In the "Subreport Links" dialog, I have an integer which I know is being pulled from the database correctly. I've added it in the "Fields to link to" listbox, and selected the newly-created parameter in the "Subreport parameter to use" combobox. I've ticked the "Select data in subreport based on field" checkbox.
The database field I want to link to then does not appear in the second combobox.
Another integer field in TableA shows up fine in the "Select data..." combobox (and is linked to another field being passed in), so I don't know why these two integer fields, which are equally important, and exist on the same level, on the same table, are being treated differently by the report designed.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here is what I'd do:
1) Download CR 2008 eval designer from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
2) Try the linking in CR 2008 designer
3) If it does not work there, ask why not in the [CR design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
4) If you get the linking working in the CR 200 designer, try to run the report in your VS2010 app (after ensuring the report woks as expected in CR 2008).
5) If (4) above works out for you, please let me know as this may be an issue with CRVS2010.

What makes an audio file ineligible for Match

What determines what is suitable for Match? I have a series of lectures that I have loaded onto iTunes but they are not eligible for uploading why?

The probably fall below the bit rate minimum requirement. Music files must be 96 Kbps or above to be scanned by the iTunes Match service.

24 bit songs ineligible for iTunes Match?

I just got the reissue of The Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie from their website - 24-bit digital download. iTunes is saying all the songs are ineleigible. Is this because of the 24-bit encoding?
What's strange is that I have (so far) purchased one other 24-bit digital download, 2nd Law by the Muse. When I imported these songs into iTunes, I had no issues uploading/matching them with iTunes Match.
The only obvious diffence between the albums is I imported 2nd Law under iTunes 10, and MCIS under iTunes 11.
Is there a workaround? I don't want to have to convert my songs to a lower quality format, especially considering what I paid for them...
Any comments are appreciated...

Tridentine,
Are you sure you had "no issues"? If iTunes Match was working as specified, one of two things would have happened.
If it could match the track, the one in the cloud would be the store copy in AAC/256 format.
If it could not match, it would use your copy, but first transcode it to AAC/256. (See details in this doc: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914 )
Either way, you lost the benefit of the 24-bit hi-def audio.

No i-tunes songs available for purchase in Thailand and Hong Kong

I live in Thailand and also have right of residence in Hong Kong. I can't buy i-tunes songs or albums from either store because they are not made available in these countries. Why not? Copying? Neither can I use my Hong Kong credit card to buy from the UK store what I can't buy in Thailand or Hong Kong. This is crazy. I will no longer be buy the i-pod Touch I planned to give my husband for Xmas.

Why not?
Apple doesn't have permission to make enough songs available for sale there to justify opening a music store.
Neither can I use my Hong Kong credit card to buy from the UK store what I can't buy in Thailand or Hong Kong.
You need an U.K. credit or gift card and an U.K. address to do that. The people who hold the rights to a song may be different in different countries.

I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Im not sure what garage band is, but i can tell you the way apple recommends making ringtones. Highlight a song in iTunes, right click and select get info. Goto the options tab and youll see the time lengths (write down the ending time) for the start time type in where you want the ringtone to start, ringtones can only be 30 sec long so make the ending time 30 sec later. Exit it out of the info and while song highlighted goto the "advanced" tab at the top of iTunes where you will see an option that says "create aac version". after creating the aac version you will have a duplicate song in your iTunes, change the original back to the correct time length. Take the 30 sec aac version and drag it to your desktop, right click the icon and click "preferences" You will then be able to change the name of the file which will be somethign to the effect of "songnamehere.m4a" you just change the m4a to m4r. you now have a ringtone, drag the new file to iTunes where it will pop up in a new tab labled ringtones. If you cannot change the name of the file when it is on your desktop let me know and i will give you instuctions how to be able to change it. Once you get it figured out you can use any song you have on iTunes to make a ringtone.

Why would a song I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match?

Why would two songs I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match? Both are part of a total album and the rest were uploaded okay.
Thx

Are they old songs that you may have purchased from a different store id years ago?
If your have old purchased songs that are drm protected and they are not associated with the store id that you are currently using then they will not be eligible.
I would burn to a disc and then rip back to your library.
Burn to the cd. Deletel the old files from your libary and delete the files don't keep them. Rip the cd back.
After you have tested the ripped songs back then empty your trash, or back up the old drm protected songs in a seperate folder.

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do?

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do? It is quite alot of lost songs/ money.....
Thanks anyone who can help, Apple make it impossible to talk to anyone or contact and I can't navigate Express Lane

I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

Why are some of the songs I created in garageband and then pushed to itunes "ineligible for icloud"?

I create songs in garageband on my iMac, then "share" them to itunes. I purchased Itunes Match so that I could hear them on my iphone 5 (7.1.2), but some of the songs will not show up on my phone. When I checked them on the computer, it says, "This item is ineligible for icloud". Why not?

Aec, I'm have the same issue as well with mine. I deleted some music a few week back to give room for sum pics and movies and now that i want to restore them from off my itunes only 1 or 2 songs are actually able to play and the rest out of the albums are greyed out and non responsive. Have never had an issue like this b-4. Anyone have any insight or some problems? Thanks in advance.

Songs in the wrong order...what ID3 version is needed for a mic

I have a zen micro and for some reason it won't read the track number for ANY of my songs so it just organizes them alphabetically...this is really annoying. Is there a specific ID3 tag version they should be in? Right now I believe they are all .0. Thanks

And by "the rest of you" you just mean you right? Because I'm fairly sure you cannot speak for the rest of the creative zen owners
Besides why WOULDN'T they make it so it plays the songs in the order they are supposed to be? If you want to listen to them in a different order isn't that what the random feature is for?
Or what about those cd's that are MEANT to be played in a certain order? As in each song leads into the next...
If people just download a few songs from the internet then how would this even affect them? They would have to combine them into a playlist anyway and therefor the track number wouldn't even matter!
The point is, it was dumb not to include it because it's easier for the people who won't use it to get around it then for people who do use it! If you don't want to hear them in the exact order they were meant to be heard in then hit the random feature (duh) but for me to go through my entire music collection and edit all the ID3 tags would take hours and is extremely inconvenient for me...

How do I download songs from iTunes Match for offline or spotty coverage?

I have a 64GB iPhone and want to be able to DOWNLOAD songs from iTunes match for use when I have spotty 3G coverage (or no coverage, or only expensive coverage, or on an airplane). How can I do this? Right now iTunes is not using any of my data storage on my phone for previously downloaded songs for future use (caching).

What you want to do actually has nothing to do with iTunes Match. What you need to do is enable automatic downloads in iTunes. Open iTunes prefs > Store and select the option for, at least, "music" and click OK. Now any music you buy will be downloaded to your iTunes library automatically. But iTunes will need to be running for this to happen.

My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name

My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name. Can I restart everything from itunes? I know this sounds cunfunsing, (and it is) but yeah.
Once again to try and clarify, The song(which itunes says is by artist,band,person, etc) is mixed up with another song out of my libary.
If there's something you dont get ask me!!! thanks

I'm experiencing the same issue. Not only do I get a messed up library, but since I've let iTunes handle my music files, they too have been shuffled around - placed in different album folders and sometimes given names of other songs... With quite a large library, the cleanup makes me feel a bit like Sisyfos pushing the rock uphill - it's a never ending story. Only positive side of this is that I get to play a lot of music quizzes while guessing who plays the song that is disguised as eg. Buddy from De La Soul, and then afterwards try to track down the real 'Buddy' as this has also found another folder to hide in...
Shazam has come to the rescue a few times so far...
@Apple: this is just not good enough!

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit? Makes my PC run like a 286 on Windows 3.11.

What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit? So slow and draggy. Makes my high end PC with multi-core processor and video card run like a 286. Even did this after doing a fresh install of the operating system with the latest version of iTunes.
No other software does this on my machine. There has to be some crazy issue causing this.

Try this,
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
