Why isn't entire iTunes library showing up with iTunes Match activated?

Hi all,
I'm just getting started with Apple TV 3rd generation (running iTunes 11.1.2 on a 2-year old MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.5), and I'm very, very frustrated with how difficult it is to get my enitre iTunes library to show up on Apple TV. I thought it was possible to sync my library to the device, and wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to do it before coming to the realization that this feature seems only to have been available in earlier generations of Apple TV. So last night I subscribed to iTunes Match and *finally* had access to my entire music library through Apple TV. But this afternoon when I turned on Apple TV, lo and behold it was back to displaying only my purchased music. I only briefly saw the "Turn on iTunes Match" message, and it was indeed turned on, but now I'm not even seeing that prompt. Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on, and how I can get Apple TV to display my entire iTunes library EVERY time I turn it on? Thanks much!

This may or may not work. But have you tried setting your home country as the US? Another possibility - go to Settings --> General --> Parental Controls - make sure Netflix is set to show.
If neither of those works. Sorry not sure why its not coming up.

Funny, I had the same problem today for the first time. I had to connect it with the sync cable for it to show. Normally, it's always there waiting for a wireless sync. Strange!

Hello, Ran12345.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It is still possible to sync contacts and calendars from Outlook using iTunes. If you are experiencing issues with this, here is the best article to go through.

Why isn't my iPhone 5s showing up on iTunes?

Okay so I have a macbook pro and lately my iTunes just randomly started to not recognize my iPhone 5s. Because when I plug it in, nothing happens! But, when I plug in my iPad mini, it shows up and is able to back up and sync my music! Why is that??

Why has my entire music library been destroyed with latest upgrade to my ipad. Albums out of sequence make no sense!

WWhy has my entire music collection been thrown into disarray which I cannot resolve with the latest ipad upgrade?
a Broadway album that starts with Act Two jumps to the prelude and then hops all over the place is crap! Expensive too from iTunes. Now I cannot listen to my music, I am not happy.

You have the remnants of an old school library layout that has been upgraded to the new layout.
See this thread for details...
Check under File > Library > Organize Library that Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Media is greyed out. If not tick the box and click OK.
Next go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and turn off the Keep iTunes Media folder organized option. Click OK, then turn that option back on again.
The artist folders directly inside iTunes Media are orphaned as are any files they contain. There are probably a bunch of hidden artwork files created by Windows Media Player but if you want to recover any media files in case there are things that you have lost push all the Artist folders (from this level only!) into Automatically Add to iTunes. Once iTunes has finished digesting the folders anything it can't add to the library will be placed in Not Added. You can work out what to do with what's left.

MP3 plays on iPod and WMP but will not import to iTunes library or play with iTunes

After having this mp3 on my iPod for many years and playing it through PC whilst iPod is connected to laptop, I suddenly cannot play it anymore
Selecting it and clicking play from iPod library results in nothing happening, playing it as part of a playlist leads to iTunes skipping straight over it. I have exported the MP3 from iPod to PC and it plays just fine in Windows Media Player. Tryng to import it into iTunes from PC harddrive results in no error message and no import!
Track name and file name do not contain any irregular characters or punctuation. File is clearly not corrupted as works in WMP and track still plays on iPod when not connected to PC.
I have tried the solution proposed here; https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1645916?start=0&tstart=0 but it doesn't work. Indeed, it doesn't seem to 'save' my selection when I do it.
Incredibly frustrating - please tell me someone has a solution?

File is clearly not corrupted as works in WMP
Don't assume that, because in fact iTunes is very finicky about slight MP3 corruption, and often fails where other players succeed.
Usually, a quick shot from a 3rd party tag cleanup program, as suggested by tt2, will make iTunes happy about the file again.

Why isn't my iTunes library showing up on the cloud?
How are you trying to access your Music in the cloud?
Have you signed up for iTunes match and let it upload your library? Are you signed in, when you are trying to download from the cloud?

Why aren't all my songs in my Itunes Library, showing as in Cloud? I have Match on

Why aren't all my songs in my Itunes Library, showing as in Cloud? I have Match on

Hi,
Can you explain what you have done whilst matching your library. I have explained in previous posts what you should expect to see.
The tracks with the download icon are in the cloud but if they have the download icon, this would suggest that the originals are no longer on your computer. Where are the original files?
Your original post was regarding tracks not in the cloud. If you create a smart playlist with any of the following criteria - iCloud status not = matched, not = uploaded and not= purchased, you will establish tracks not in the cloud. What do you see when you have done this?

I recently downloaded lots of CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. None of the downloads are appearing on my ipad or iphone. All settings are correct. Anything I purchase on itunes shows up in the cloud on all the devices.

I downloaded CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. All my itunes purchased music is on my ipad and iphone cloud. For some reason, while the cloud appears in my library, the CD's that I downloaded (popular ones that itunes recognize) are not showing up on my ipad2 and my iphone4s. When I purchase songs from itunes directly they show up on all i devices (with the cloud icon). In my itunes library all the new downloads from CD's have the icloud icon. However, none of these downloads are showing up on my ipad and iphone as stated above. All my settings are correct. I am sure I am missing something, but not sure what....if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. thanks.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

Press Ctrl-, (comma) to open the Preferences screen. Select the General tab. There's a Language selection drop down at the bottom of the tab - you can choose between UK and US English - as far as I can tell these are always items 9 and 10 in the drop down list, so you should be able to select the appropriate one no matter what the current language setting is.

My iTunes library shows all music but there is an exclamation mark to the left on all entries and there is a message stating "original file could not be found" although all music is on the iPad.

The massage means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. All iTunes has is a database of where the files should be and they are not there.
