Why cant I transfer music to my iphone even if I have itunes match

I have Itunes, Iphone 4S and Ipad.
I also have Itunes Match which is activated on my iDevices.
I want to create a playlist on itunes and transfer it to my Iphone. I get an error message saying that I need to download the tracks on my Iphone from Icloud first even if its also on my computer. And even so, how am I suppose to be able to manage my music if I cannot do it from itunes anymore?
Thanks for your help because this itunes match service has been a bad surprise so far...

A solution I've mentioned in other threads for iTunes Match not syncing playlists to iPhone is to log out of your iTunes Account (Apple ID) in the iTunes & App Store page of Settings, turn phone off, then on, then log in again. This has solved problems for a number of people.  Cheers.

  • Why are playlists made in iTunes not pushing to my iPhone, even though I have iTunes Match?

    I have made a couple both Smart and regular playlists on iTunes. Then I clicked Store > Update iTunes Match.  It updated and yet the playlists are not on my phone... I shouldn't have to sync my phone should I?

  • How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my computer using itunes without syncing?

    Got a bit of a dilemma here... I had all my music backed up on my laptop and I usually transferred files using iTunes from there but it got a virus so I had wipe the whole thing out. I lost everything I had there but I had iTunes on my computer, I just didn't have all the files that were on my iPhone on that computer, only on my laptop. Now I want to add music onto my iPhone from my computer but I'll have to sync it, which means loosing half of my music. Is there anyway I can transfer music onto the device without loosing half of the data or is there any way I can transfer the music from iTunes to my computer so that when I sync it, all the music stays there? And if I need a third party transfer tool, which one is the most reliable to avoid viruses again?

    Hello ZabeM
    Anything that was purchased can be transferred to your new iTunes library by following the steps in the article below. You can also look at your purchased history and download the tracks to your computer.

  • Is there any way to transfer music from my iphone 4s to my new itunes library?

  • 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:

  • HT4914 I have iTunes Match. Why is music still taking up space on my iPhone?

    I just purchased iTunes Match. Why is my music still taking up space on my iPhone?

    If you have iTunes Match, yes the idea of that is that you have access to all your music from anywhere. If you access it though you will be downloading it, in order to play the music you have chosen to play, once downloaded, that music will stay on your device unless you delete it.
    Music that is on your phone will show up as normal, music that is only in the cloud will have a cloud icon next to it, when downloaded the cloud icon will disappear, if you delete it again the cloud icon will disappear again.
    In the example below, all my albums by Matt Schofield are on my phone, the others would need downloading.
    Photo's are different they kept on your device and only synced to the cloud so they can be pushed to other devices.

    I had first registered my iPhone with an old laptop, the computer is no longer functional.  I cant now transfer music from my iTunes account to my phone, I am not sure what to do any suggestions?

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What have you tried?

  • Why I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S? I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens.. Please help

    Ever since I installed an application (a Ringtone maker) downloaded from App Store now I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S?
    I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens. Although I followed the instructions given in the Help Video for that application nothing happened, no ringtones were loaded, and all my music disappeared.
    Please help!!!

    Hi Ivan,
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone in the left bar. In the middle screen, go to the tab 'Music' and see if the Sync music box is checked.
    If it is checked, you can select the music you want on your iPhone in the screen below.
    If it is not checked, you can drag and drop music from your library to your iPhone.
    Do the same in the tab 'Ringtones' (not sure if there is such a tab).
    Let us know if this solved your issue.

  • How do I transfer music from my iphone to a new computer?

    how do I transfer music from my iPhone 4S to my new computer with windows 8 without deleting music off my phone?

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.
