Why did iTune Match not upload all of my music?

Why do some of the songs on my phone appear as gray and not selectable to pull from the cloud?  I would understand if it was whole albums that did not upload, but it is very random as to which ones are there and which ones are not.  For example, I am sometimes missing 6 out of 10 songs on 1 album.  So what made 4 of the songs work, but the other 6 not work?  The ones that did not go to the cloud play on my computer fine, so I know they were locatable on my end.  I did see that some of the songs that did not go to the cloud were pointing to the wrong folder on my computer, so I fixed those.  I went ahead and started the iTunes Match process over again.  I am hoping this was the right thing to do.  I thought maybe the upload just failed somewhere in the middle of the process.  Any assistance you can provide to me in this matter would be most helpful. 

Hi Wartman73,
If some of your songs are not appearing in iTunes Match, I would first give this article a run through to see if that resolves the issue:

    iTunes is not loading all of my music to my iPhone 5s. It was working fine before, now it doesn't seem to load any new music I put into my iTunes. I have tried to update iTunes Match several times and it still doesn't work. I have authorized my computer already.

    Interestingly I just checked my phone and all my playlists have been loaded up..go figure...

    No you didn't.

    Except for anything you did not purchase in iTunes Store.
    Only you iTunes purchases are in the cloud.

  • Itunes match not uploading any songs just stuck on "uploading 1 of 1432" for teh last two days , any help ??

    I purchased Itune match it matched about 9432 songs and the remaining 1432 it did not got to step 3 of uploading and its been 3 days just keeps saying uploading 1 of 1432 . i have restarted itunes , tried on different ISPs etc no luck what gives , on top of that on my iphone since i turned on match my play lists dont show up . when i try to synch with match off still my play lists do not show up ?

    Don't know what fantasy planet bigAl_25 lives on.  It does not work consistently for anyone that has a substantial library period.  If your lucky, you get 6 songs before it freezes up.  Know countless people that have it.  Don't know a single person that it works for consistently (on an Iphone) who has a substantial library.  I have to run with my Nano because it doesn't work.  I have had Apple products since 1984, I know how to trouble shoot issues. There is no current solution.  Like other posters, I have tried every single possible fix, including all of those recommended here.  It's just not ready for prime time.  Until it is, it will continue to be be hit and miss, with the only temporary fixes being to go back to menu, select different mix, or playlist.  If that doesn't work, quit app.  If that doesn't work, restart the phone.  One of these will probably solve your problem, but again only temporarily for about 6 songs, and the cycle repeats itself.  You do get a little bit better results over WiFi and if you download all the songs to the iphone before you roll the playlist, but again inconsistent at best.  Best idea, worst implementation.  I'm sure Apple will eventually fix it.  Until then it is hit and miss.  I don't care about the $25 (but won't renew if not working when my year is up), just want it to work. GET WITH IT APPLE.  Match is a home run, devote more resources to getting the bugs out.

  • 2 Computers, 1 AID: iTunes Match not syncing all songs

    I have the following computers/devices all using the same Apple ID for iTunes Match:
    -MBP used at home and remotely
    -iMac used at home
    -iMac used at work
    -2 iPhone 5s
    -iPad
    All devices are using iOS 7.2 and 10.8.5, iTunes version 11.1.1.
    The problem I'm having is that when I import music (or, in this specific case, an audiobook file) into iTunes on my MBP from a CD, that file does not show up on my iMac at home. The file's iCloud status is listed as "uploaded," and the file shows up on every iOS device, and on my iMac at work. Just not on my iMac at home. Both the MBP and my home iMac frequently share a home network.
    Thanks for your replies!

    I just had a 1 hour talk with applecare about this.  I was esclated through several levels. 
    They are not reporting an issue with the iTunes Match service but I can nolonger add a device to iTunes match and they have no idea why.
    I still have an open ticket.  But no known resolution... So I am betting it is a server side issue that Apple is not reporting.
    My iOS devices are not working (iPad 3 and iPhone 4) my Apple TV however is working fine.  But not showing any new songs I have added.

  • ITunes Match not upload tracks

    Hi, I have a problem with iTunes Match.
    I tried several things, including Logout and subsequent Login, convert songs to AAC but nothing; iTunes still does not upload tracks! Do you have any idea?
    THANK YOU in advance!

    Thanks for coming back to me Andy,
    Unfortunately it appears you're experiencing the same issue that several of us on here have reported recently. At this point there isn't really anything you can try to fix the problem as it's looking increasingly likely the issue is at Apple's side. I would however recommend contacting the iTunes Support team to report the problem, the more people that report it the more likely it will get picked up sooner.
    Go to https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action Select Show all Products and Services at the bottom of the page, select iTunes > iTunes Store > iTunes Match and use one of the contact options such as Chat.
    I've currently got a case open with support for this and will post an update as soon as I hear anything back. Let me know how you get on.

  • Why is iTunes match not matching a few specific tracks in an album?, why is iTunes match not matching a few specific tracks in an album?

    iTunes Match has worked relatively well for me (I have almost 12,000 tracks), but there are a few oddities:
    1. I'm not sure that iTunes Match has propery identified the 2009 re-mastered Beatles albums, which I bought as CDs before being released on iTunes.  There is something distinctly odd with the stereo separation, and some vocals have thus disappeared (especially on Abbey Road).
    2. I have a protected classical Naxos CD by the Kodaly Quartet, playing string quartets by Debussy and Ravel. Three of the tracks are identified as being unsuitable for matching.  Why would this be?  There are other instances of this elsewhere in my library.
    3. 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' won't match at all.  I assume this is censorship, which is an absolute shame.  What would Mr Jobs be saying about that, I wonder?
    4. Quite a lot of album art is missing.  This is not to obscure albums, necessarily, but to well known works, such as The Beatles White Album.
    5. Smart Playlists seems to be a bit of a disaster.
    If anyone has any thoughts or solutions, I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks!

  • HT4914 iTunes match not uploading songs

    I have uploaded a vinyl copy of quite a few artists from my collection and it appears that iTunes match is not recognising them and replacing the uploaded content with one of better quality as stated!
    The one which came to my notice first of all was Queen- She Makes Me ( Stormtrooper in Stilletos) from The album Sheer Heart Attack. This album is in iTunes!
    Any ideas??????

    I'm a little confused you said iTunes Match is not recognizing them and replacing with better quality. If iTunes Match doesn't recognize a song it will upload the version that is on your computer. If it does recognize it you'll have access to the 256KBps version on all devices immediately (wont need to upload).

  • Why is iTunes Match not available in India

    Can anyone tell me why match is not available in India.
    I am English but live in India As I no longer have a UK credit card I cant even change my country back to UK

    Michael is correct.  While iTunes Match has been rolled out in many countries, India certainly is not the only country where it is not yet available.

  • ITunes Match Not Uploading

    iTunes match suddenly quit uploading music to the cloud.  It goes through all the other steps but when it comes to uploading it fails.  The songs are reading error beside them and I tried to refresh iTunes Match but it keeps failing to upload.  Is anyone having this issue?

    Mine cut out about an hour ago and I actually logged in here to see if I was the only one affected.  Every upload I attempt gives me an "error" message.
    I also just called the Apple Support number, and they said to just keep trying (seems like this has happened before?).   I gave them my one-minute rant on how a $25 service shouldn't really be down, or at least there should be a better SLA than "call back in 24 hours".  

  • Why can't I play purchased movies on my Apple TV? And why does iTunes match not work on my Apple TV?

    I have an Apple TV (early 2012) and bought some movies in the iTunes store. Now, Apple TV doesn't let me watch my purchased content. I very well can listen to music I have bought in the iTunes store and watch the purchased movies on my iphone 6 (running the latest iOS 8) and on my MacBook Air (running the latest version of Yosemite). I can also rent movies on Apple TV and watch them - no problem at all.
    The other problem I have is that I activated iTunes Match on my Apple TV. But it doesn't work either. On my Mac and on my iphone - there's no problem. On Apple TV instead there is always appearing the message, that it will take a couple of minutes to setup iTunes Match  on Apple TV. Well... that is too nice to be true! It takes hours and even after that it doesn't work at all.
    I checked the forums and tried different things:
    1. Updating my Apple TV's software to the latest release
    2. Restoring all settings of my Apple TV and taking it offline (meaning: logging out of iTunes on Apple TV and taking it off power)
    3. Restarting my modem and router after half a minute break and taking it off power.
    4. Setting up Apple TV again and reconnecting it with iTunes and my WLAN-router.
    5. I also wanted to Airplay the screen of my MAC or iphone to Apple TV -> doesn't work (even though I can watch the movies on this two devices without any problems). Other content can be airplayed to Apple TV without any problems as well.
    -> Nothing seems to work!
    When I tried to play the moves the following to messages appear:
    1. iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. (But Apple TV recognizes how much of the movie has been watched already. It indicates that it is connecting and authorizing... and after that the message above appears). OR
    2. Apple TV says that the movie will be ready to be watched in two hours from now... or that you have to chose a lower resolution, if you want to watch it any sooner.
    Does anyone face the same difficulties? And of course: Does anyone know any cure and salvation for my Apple TV? ;-)
    Thanks so much for your assistance!

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • ITunes Match not showing all my songs or playlists

    I've just upgraded to an iPhone 5, and successfully restored from an iCloud backup. All apps are downloaded and working ok. iOS is 6.1.3.
    But, after turning on iTunes Match, I have no playlists and only a quarter of my songs (titles starting A - F) are appearing. Each time I open the Music app, the cloud icon and progress bar appear, as if it knows something is wrong, but it disappears after a minute or two and nothing's happened.
    Songs that do appear download and play normally.
    I've been through this process before without a hitch, so any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Meant to also say, I have also tried repeatedly turning iTunes Match on and off, and signing out of iTunes and signing back in, all to no avail.

  • HT4914 Why does iTunes Match not really match some songs in my library? Any thoughts?

    I have noticed that many songs in my library are really not upgraded to 256, even though they say Matched. I thought Matched was supposed to also mean "We found your song and upgraded it to 256." Am I wrong? Thanks.

  • I use iTunes match but want all of my music on my IPhone

    I use I Tunes match for my music library on my Mac.  However, I want all of the music downloaded to my iPhone 6 so I can play it whenever I want.  What is the best/quickest way to accomplish that (after I have dealt with duplicates on my Mac, which are driving me crazy).

    I guess my first question is if you don't have enough music to max out your storage on your phone why would you subscribe to match in the first place?  The reason I subscribed to match is because I couldn't get everything on my phone and I wanted the ability to be able to manage what was on my phone from my phone.  None the less that is not your question. 
    You simply have to press the cloud at the top of every artist and let it download.  If you have a lot of music then it will take a long time.  If you don't have a lot of music it should go pretty quick.  Just press the cloud at the top of every artist/album you want and the songs in that section will download.
