Why are all of my artists/albums/playlists in random order after using iTunes Match?

I enabled iTunes match some months ago.  I have almost everythign uploaded or matched from my library.  But when I open the music app on my phone all of the artists are in seemingly random order.  This is not an issue with the sort order naming in the meta data.  I have no idea what is causing it.  The artists, albums, everything is completely out of order.  Furthermore, a lot of the songs are completley misslabeled.  I will try to play a Death Cab For Cutie song for instance and it starts playing kanye west.
Is there any way to completely redo my iTunes Match?  I can't seem to figure it out and I'm tired of a service that I am paying for giving me very little performance.

If you have AppleCare on your iPhone then call Apple, it's baically the only way you will get help on that front. Tell them about the issues. After a little while of trouble shooting they should pass you to a senior technician.
What trouble shooting have you done?
If you haven't done so already, Apple will request you to do it while they have you on the phone. Also, do not restore from a backup, set it up as a new device.

  • Hello Experts! I am trying to match up artwork that I created for my playlists in my iTunes library which looks fine in my iTunes but then only some of my artwork shows on my iPad after using iTunes Match, I either have blank artwork or the original.

    Hello Experts! I am trying to match up artwork that I created for my playlists in my iTunes library which looks totally fine in my iTunes library but then only only some of my artwork shows on my iPad after using iTunes Match, I either have blank artwork or the original artwork. Any ideas how I can make sure it’s all my artwork? Thank you if you do!

  • How can I get recordings that are less than 96 kbps onto my iPhone if I am using iTunes Match?

    I am using iTunes Match but it won't upload any files that are recorded at less than 96 kbps. I have recordings from several classes that I am taking online that I need to listen to on my iPad and iPhone. How can I get them on my devices? Do I just have to turn Match off and do it manually like before? Or is there a way to change the recording level in GarageBand?

    I found the answer. Just double click on the recording in iTunes and select Create AAC Version. Then select Update iTunes Match under the Store tab. The recordings will now show up and play on your other devices.

  • HT4759 I'd bought cloud and I am looking to see how it works and still don't know. So can somebody tell me how it works, and why does money keep disappearing from my account. I didn't used iTunes match, and and copied everything I had in iTunes and am now

    1) How do I use Cloud?  I mistakingly use itune match and made copy of all I already had in tunes! 2) how do I get rid of all the copys?  3)how do I get the money that keeps disappars from my account?

    I got into a similar situation last night trying to enable wireless on my already configured wired my Time Capsule. It was getting the same or very similar 169.xxx IP address for itself.
    I found that I had to change ( I suspect it was restore my previous setting ) the Configure IPv4 item under the Internet Tab in manual setup of the Airport Utility.
    It appeared a "manually" and I changed it (back?) to "Using DHCP".
    That combined with Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) lets the upstream router that connects directly to my Cable modem be the DHCP server for the entire network.
    As everything had worked fine for weeks until I enabled wireless it seems that the Configure Ipv4 parameter was reset either by me mistakenly or by the updating o f the changed settings. Frankly I' quite sure I didn't change it accidentally (famous last words)
    Other combinations may aslo work, but this works for me.

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone under IOS6 while using iTunes Match?

    It's easy enough to add music from the Cloud, but I have a HUGE music collection (all legally acquired, thanks) and I don't always want the same music taking up space on my iPhone. How do I get rid of a song/album/playlist, without turning off iTunes Match? Shouldn't this work like everything else -- I swipe right and press delete?

    Not a bug, it's the way Apple has designed things. Read here:

  • Cannot create Smart Playlist for tracks to upgrade using iTunes Match

    I just subscribed to iTunes Match and am trying to use a Smart Playlist to identify the tracks that can be upgraded following the instructions in this article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1163620/how_to_upgrade_tracks_to_itunes_match_fa st.html
    When I try to create the smart playlist, I get "This smart playlist contains one or more conditions which are empty or conflict with each other. This will result in never matching a song. Are you sure you want to save this playlist?".  I've narrowed it down to the iCloud Status settings.  I can create a playlist with either Matched or Purchased; however, I get the message above when specifying both.  Any ideas?

    You need to make sure the rule for these 2 is Match Any, not Match all.

  • HT204406 Why are several hundred of my songs listed as "waiting" to upload in iTunes Match?

    Installing iTunes Match on my Macbook Pro goes well through the first two steps, then indicates it will be uploading 333 songs. At that point it starts over again at step one, and this loop will go on as long as I let it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is? Thanks!

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

    Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out.  I am unable to move and organize them.  I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either.  What step am I missing?

    So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
    Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
    I haven't created albums yet.
    I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
    It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
    Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

  • HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

    I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
    Any ideas?

    I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

  • Where are all of my photo albums?

    I just updated my computer & found that Iphoto is now gone & that Photos has replaced it. Where are all of my photo albums that I spent so much time organizing in Iphoto now? I can't find them anywhere in Photos. It's a very badly, designed system!

    Hi Eric,
    Thank you for taking the time to respond.
    I have a time capsule doing automatic backups on my iMac.  I would not know which date to restore from as I just happened to notice the missing mail when I went to look for one of the old messages. 
    I tried your suggestion of checking the Mail/V2 files in finder, but it did not work.  There are messages there, but they too only go back a year. 
    If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. 

  • Why are all paths in Clipping Masks and Compound Paths?

    When I open up previous versions of Illustrator files (i.e. CS5), why are all of my paths messed up. Every object is embedded in a Clipping Mask, paths are compounded and in most cases type on a path is expanded into multiple non-editable objects. This causes complete redesign. This is terrible.

    Because Illustrator accessed the PDF part of the file.
    ---> this points to corrupt files.
    How were those files transferred to your computer? Are they on a server?
    How old are they?
    Which versions were they created in?
    Did you already try to restart (the computer)?
    Any plugins installed?

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.
