Why doesn't iTunes match update last played songs?

Entire library is loaded onto my macbook. When I play a playlist from the cloud off of another device, the last date played is never updated. why?

Hi,
I suggest that you add the icloud status column to song view in your computer's iTunes library. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick appropriate box. This will tell you if the song has been matched, uploaded, purchased, ineligible, duplicate or waiting. If the tracks are showing as waiting try selecting update iTunes match.
If they continue to show as waiting, try deleting them but do not move to trash. If you get the pop up asking if you wish to delete from cloud, tick delete from cloud. Now readd tracks and select update iTunes match.

Why doesn't iTunes match update?

Some songs in my iTunes library never upload to the cloud. Instead of the cloud symbol with the arrow in iTunes, there's a dotted outline of a cloud, I guess indicating it hasn't been uploaded, and I can't play the songs on other devices (other than my Macbook). I thought if I waited long enough it would eventually upload, but one of the songs has been in the library for months and never gets uploaded.
I did notice that the song is listed in my library when I search for it on my iPhone, but I can't play it.

ITunes Match won't play songs -- it simply cycles through them.

I have iTunes Match set-up on my iPhone 5. Until yesterday everything was fine. Then, as storage on the phone was getting scarce, I decided to remove all songs that were stored physically on the phone. Now iTunes Match just cycles through songs when I try to play them. I don't know if removing songs from my phone is connected or just a coincidence. Either way it's very frustrating. Any ideas?

It's great -- never had any problems downloading large files or streaming HD video. And, up until yesterday, I had had no problems with iTunes Match. I was wondering if my problems could have something to do with some under-the-hood work they might be doing for the iTunes 11 launch.

Why doesn't iTunes match work?

I just got iTunes match and it doesn't work! it uploads the songs that it can't match but it can't even match half of the songs. but thats not my main issue. the issue is the matched songs doesn't sync with the songs in iTunes as if i didn't buy the thing at all. it doesn't give me the artwork, the title (if the old one is incorrect) or any other information that should be changed. it doesn't formate it, to a better quality, as it should. Please keep in mind that these are for the matched songs. i even waited 2 days for it to finish uploading the unmatched songs thinking that it matches the songs when its done. but nothing. Please help, tell me what to do!

ITunes Match sometimes skips / plays songs with exclamation marks

Using iTunes Match (v10.5.3) from my MacBook (OS X 10.6.8) I synched about 60G of music located on an external hard drive connected to my home-based AirPort Extreme base station into Apple's cloud. It works great from my iPhone and the iMac in my remote office, but occasionally when I connect with my MacBook I get these confounding exclamation marks between the song list number and the selection check box.
When this happens and I attempt to play a song with an exclamation mark sometimes iTunes prompts me to connect to the hard drive connected to the Airport and when I don't the exlamation points appear. Other times I can play the songs, but only if I individually select them; otherwise it skips all the songs with exclamation marks until it finds a local song (or recording) (i.e. without an exclamation mark).
Sometimes restarting iTunes gets rid of the exclamation marks, sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed that I often have this problem when I upload new music to the Airport-connected hard drive. But sometimes it happens without me uploading.
Through trial and error I'm starting to get a sense of what's happening but it still feels kind of arbitrary. Can someone explain what's happening?
Many thanks in advance.

The problem is that iTunes thinks the external HDD is not connected so it can't find the actual song files. So the problem you need to solve is why is the external HDD not connected.

Why doesn't iTunes Match doesn't show all of my songs?

Some albums in my iTunes album don't show up at all, some show up, except a couple of songs off of it, and they're songs I've listened to with Match before. It just seems random and sporadic that the songs show up gray and can't play. (Correction: If I click on the songs in gray, they do play after downloading.)

I figured it out kind of. Looks like iTunes on my laptop is doing weird things sorting my tracks. It is spltting up compilations and saying some of the songs on the album are by an unknown artist. I have re-organized my songs by the same artist and that seems to have worked but still some missing.
I am still missing a lot of album artwork though.

Why doesn't iTunes auto update to 10.6.1?

Apple Software Update informs me of the above update and I click install.
After a while the install gives the error:
"Errors occurred while installing updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download only and try installing manually".
The fact that the iTunes menu does not include "Tools" seems to escape whoever wrote the script.
Repaired Apple Software Update in Add/Remove programmes and tried again - same result.
I can only assume there is a problem with this update and do not want to try the manual option.
Anybody else seeing this?

Seems I may have found the problem.
I looked in Services and saw that I had set Apple Mobile Device to disabled.
Reset it to manual and started it. Ran ASU again and 10.6.1 installed OK.
The reason I set Apple Mobile Device to disabled is because I DON'T HAVE AN APPLE MOBILE DEVICE!!
I don't have an iPod either but iPod service always runs on start up even though it's told not to synch with anything. iTunes Helper is another unwanted start up item but at least that can be removed.
This unwanted start up junk is a pain, that's why I stop it.
I assume other people may have done the same thing but why settings preferences should cause problems with updating I don't know.

IPhone not updating "last played" information in ITunes (Mac OS X 10.4.10)

When I listen to a podcast on my iPhone in its entirety, it doesn't show up as having been played in iTunes, and the "last played" information in iTunes doesn't change. I have iTunes configured to sync all of my podcasts. This works great on my iPod but not on my iPhone. I am using iTunes 7.3 (54). Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? Thanks.

I don't know what happened, but it started working properly later on.

HT4914 My Itunes match isn't playing a song

On my Itunes match I have a song that was put in icloud and it lets me select to play it but when I play it I don't hear anything

This is a known issue. Problems have been reported since March 13th. Keep in mind that resetting your modem or router is a "shotgun approach" to troubleshooting, since you're effectively changing many things at once (potentially getting a new dynamic IP, connecting to a different DNS server, flushing cached data in your router.) It may very well fail to work all-together.
Problem:
When attempting to add one or more individual tracks to iTunes match, the code "4010" (unknown error) is returned.
Workaround:
Perform a bulk update your entire library via Store > Update iTunes Match.
Report it here:
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Currently, iTunes Match is still shown as online and healthy. Apple typically doesn't change that status unless there's a major incident impacting many users at once. This does not mean there isn't an issue, however.

Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

Hi Guys:
     I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
     But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
      So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
Does the same thing happen to you guys??
btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Experiencing the same issue. Everything used to just work. I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad).
My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
Let me know if you find a fix.

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

ITunes match update not working

So iTunes Match updating stopped working a couple of days ago. I have tried all manner of troubleshooting, including deauthorizing / re-authorizing my machine, rebooting, rebooting my router, turning off and don iTunes Match, etc. The update process sto[s where iTunes is "Matching your music with songs in the iTunes Store..." and never completes. If I wait long enough, sometimes I get an error - 3231, but that doesn't always happen. I have added one song to iTunes that simply will not sync to the cloud, and as a result, I cannot get it onto my devices. I have seen some other posts on this problem recently, but nobody has answered with a fix. I think it is a bug in the iTunes app, or in the cloud service.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix?

Same problem - gets stuck at Matching your music with songs in the iTunes Store, though I don't get any error message. This has been happening for three days - I've authorized and deauthorized, rebooted, reset PRAM, etc. Redownloaded the music and still not working.

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played"

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played" for about 1 in 20 songs. This is really screwing up my lists that I use as backgrounds for a lot of activities in my classroom at school.

FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
Cheers,
