Which account is used for iTunes Match?

My son and I share an iTunes accounts but have separate iCloud accounts. Which is used for iTunes Match?

Hi,
Use the one that you sign into your joint itunes account. Icloud account does not affect itunes account.

Which Account to Use for Family Sharing?

After reading the issues of being locked out, I am a bit apprehensive to set up the account.
Here's my scenario:
Husband & Wife accounts want family sharing
Husband as owner - using @me.com Apple ID AND @gmail.com iTunes account (or in settings 'Family Purchases')
Wife also has identical setup where iCloud apps are run by an @me.com Apple ID and all iTunes purchases have been made through a @gmail.com account.
Question: Which account does the Husband invite the wife to family sharing? The @me.com Apple ID or the @gmail.com?
thanks!

The Apple ID is his iTunes account. The @me.com is his iCloud account which is connected to his Apple ID/iTune account. Using anyone should suffice.
In any case, if you want to be safe, Use his Apple ID account.
Hope this helps.

Which fields are used for iTunes Store search?

Guys,
I'm tring to work out how iTunes searches podcast XML (on the 'Search iTunes Store' bit of iTunes - I'm sure it all comes up in power search) as I want to target my podcast as best possible (and cut down updating XML if it's not even being used!). Can anyone help pin this down?

The following I know are what you need to focus on,
to have people be able to find you:
<channel><title> = yes
<channel><itunes:author> = yes?
<channel><description> = no?
<channel><itunes:summary> = no?
<channel><itunes:keywords> = no?

Priming our IDs and Systems for iTunes Match... Best Prac?

Hi all,
I love the concept of iTunes Match and plan on subscribing, however I am aware there might be pitfalls due to our (not so unique) setup at our house and I am keen to ensure I set things up correctly to avoid headaches.
I'm hoping you all and your seven months of consuming this service will help me!!
Firstly, I'll describe our setup.
2 people. 3 Apple ID's (1 each + 1 shared iCloud).
2 Work PC's. Windoze.
1 iMac (home). Lion.
1 Macbook (home). Snow Leopard.
2 iPhones
1 iPad.
Currently my fiance and I use our individual Apple ID's to purchase songs and apps that suit our own tastes. We share an iCloud ID across our iOS devices and iMac (which allows us to sync calendars, contacts, photostream etc).
Currently our shared iCloud ID has 0 computers or devices authorised to play content purchased with its ID as no purchases have been made (outside of some apps on the iMac).
My personal Apple ID has 4 computers and 2 devices authorised. (iMac, Macbook, No Idea 1, No idea 2, iPhone and iPad).
My fiance's Apple ID has 5 computers and 1 devices authorised. (iMac, No Idea 1 through 4, iPhone)
What I am trying to determine is how we should prepare for and configure iTunes Match. What we would like to do is use iTunes match on our personal devices (of course) - the iMac, Macbook1,1, 2 x iPhones and our iPad. We'd also like to use iTunes match on our Work PC's so we can listen away to our own music while we slave away, noses to the proverbial grindstone, for WAY too many hours each week. This would use up 4 computers and 3 devices from our ten licenses.
Firstly, should we both de-authorise all devices from our iTunes accounts? As I understand it this would clean the slate for us in terms of authorised devices.
However, I'm aware there's some 90 day doohickey to slow down using multiple ID's on a computer. So an option here would be to de-authorise (and then re-authorise the iMac) for my fiance's account devices... and wait 90 days to do the same for mine, considering I have one computer up my proverbial sleeve.
Secondly, which Apple ID should we use for iTunes Match? It seems to make logical sense to use the shared iCloud ID. However, as no music has been purchased using this ID, I'm not sure if this will complicate things (despite the computer we would upload from using this ID as its iCloud ID and being authorised to play the songs purchased from both our accounts). Can't seem to really find any documentation to clarify this.
Thirdly, and this might just be my idiotness, but I can't quite work out if a model of using our shared iCloud ID for match, but then continuing to purchase music from our individual Apple ID's will actually even work.
Finally - to put it most simply, I really don't know what I don't know here.. so if there are any things you believe I should be considering or any tips or advice or recommendations you believe would help me, I'd really, REALLY appreciate to hear them.

Okay - just been through the EXACT same thing.
AppleCare just advised me of the situation and here is my summary for you:
Despite supporting a different iCloud ID and Apple ID for store purchases on one device simultaneously, you will run into issues with this model. I just have. i.e. While iCloud ID's can be different to Apple ID's and treated as such by some Apple services - iTunes doesn't work this way.
I used our shared iCloud ID to sign up to iTunes Match and while this worked, here are the pitfalls:
- On your Mac: You cannot be signed into iTunes Match with your iCloud ID and the iTunes Store with your normal ID simultaneously.
To continue to use your current model of ID management - you will need to make iTunes store purchases with your normal ID, then sign into iTunes Match with the appropriate ID to allow these purchases to upload to the cloud.
- On your iPhone: You cannot be signed into iTunes Match with a different ID to that which you are signed into the App Store with.
You would need to either use your iTunes Match ID on your phone to access your Music, or revert back to your normal ID and just use "playlists" etc to sync your tracks as per usual.
- You will be able to use the iTunes Match on your Work PC's.. so long as you don't try to sign in with your normal ID also. Or first. Remember that 90 day rule thing and sign in with the iTunes Match ID on your work PC.
The AppleCare staffer said we're not alone (obviously) and that he hopes that in time Apple will look to supporting account merging etc. However, they don't right now.

I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

Can 1 iTunes library be used for 2 match "accounts"?

My husband and I have built our music collection into 1 iTunes library on a computer over the years (with lots of albums imported from CDs). I signed up for Match recently. Can he also use that library if he pays for Match separately?I did a test and I think it may work but looking for confirmation before we pay another $25.
My test was- I have Match loaded on my iphone and I can see all of our songs. I logged out of iTunes on our computer and he logged in using his separate Apple ID. It appears he could then pay for Match and go through the set up using our library also. I went back to my iphone and all of the songs are still available even though I logged out of iTunes on the computer. When I logged back into iTunes on the computer with my Apple ID, Match was not set up and I would have to go through the steps of setting it back up. That is not a concern for me because I only care about access to Match on my iphone.

Hi
You can only use one Apple id on your computer for iTunes match. If your husband used his Apple id and signed up for match, you would be locked out of match for 90 days. You should consider both of you using your Apple id for match.

One account for itunes match and one for all the rest?

Hello everybody
I was wondering how to use an Apple ID for iTunes Match and other for iCloud and backups. I found an article on the website that said that you actually can do that, but my question arises when I find out that now I only use one ID, all my apps are in there, along with my iPhone backups and stuff. So, if I create an ID for subscribing to iTM, will I lose the ability to update my apps on the old ID?
Please help!
The article is: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
Cheers

I know, but I can't use my credit card on my iTunes Store account, since it's a US ID. What if I change the country of my ID? How often can I change it? I was thinking of changing it, purchasing iTM, and then changing it back... can I do that?
Thank you

Using multiple Apple ids for iTunes match

Hi,
I have one Apple id that I use for downloading music and apps on both iTunes and my ios devices, as well as itunes match. I have another that I use for for icloud. My iTunes match subscription is due to expire and I want to use my icloud apple id as my new iTunes Match apple id. If I made purchases with the prior apple id, and used that id for iTunes Match, and now want to change the iTunes Match apple id to my icloud apple id, will iTunes Match sync my music with the new apple id even though the purchases were made on the older id? Or do I have to use the same apple id for iTunes Match that I used to purchase the music in my iTunes library?
Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks,
Steven

iTunes Match can not be transferred to another Apple ID. It is a associated with the iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase it. You can, however, change your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40

HT2534 why can't I use money in my account to subscribe for music match subscription?

why can't I use money in my itunes account to subscribe for music match subscriptions?

If you switch you will have to backdate it to keep the overages from happening. Also you'll pay the difference in advance. So if the difference is $20. You pay $40 more next month compare to this month, but the following month will be $20 more like it should(bill in advance). When you downgrade plans you'll get credited the difference like it should as it works both ways.

Use cellular data for iTunes Match & Radio but not app Updates

Is there any way to set an iOS device so that it will allow using cellular data for iTunes Match and iTunes Radio but not downloading app Updates. I want to be able to set my wife's phone so that the apps are automatically updated over Wifi but she can then use iTunes Match and iTunes Radio when she is out. She only uses those in limited capacity so I am not too worried about her using up her data plan with those. However, app Downloads seems to be quite large, and they happened a lot recently when they all updated for iOS8.
Thanks,
Tony

No, but you could turn off Updates under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then update them manually when you're connected to wifi.

I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer. A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine. If that happens, will I lose all my music? I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.

If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

How about this? Use Delete array subset to extract chunks for averaging, and a shift register to retain the remaining array.
It is typically not advisable to use "delete from array" in a tight loop. The constant memory reallocations due to array resizing are probably inefficient.
Here's one simple way to do it..
