Will deleting my songs, then moving them to the recycle bin and leaving them to be downloaded from the cloud get me the version from itunes match?

I've read this somewhere before but the things is, I didn't know this when I first got itunes match and didn't delete the songs and re-download them from the cloud. I just thought it was done so I synced all of my devices. If I go ahead and delete them all now and re-download will all of my songs be the match high quality versions now? If so, do I delete all my music from my devices as well and re-download or will it automatically change the songs on there to the high quality by simply synching them? ..Or did I screw everything up by not downloading and synching from the start?
Please help, thanks!

Hi,
Your main computer will have your original tracks. All your synced devices will have the matched/uploaded versions.
To get the benefit of the upgraded tracks on your main library, you need to delete the original and then download the matched version. You don't need to do anything with uploaded songs.
Ps make sure you have a backup of your original songs.

  • HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

    I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

    The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process.  It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
    The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
    Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

  • Only partial songs are downloaded from Itunes Match

    Only partial songs are downloaded from Itunes Match, they stop and go on to the next song.  Any ideas?

    I too had this issue. On the Downloads screen in iTunes simply uncheck the box at the bottom left that says "Allow simultaneous downloads". Next, delete any of the affected songs from your library and then re-download them from iCloud and songs should no longer abruptly cutoff or jump to the next song.

  • I deleted some apps on accident, went to my recycle bin and saw they were in there so i restored them, but now i can't find them. Did i totally lose them?

    I deleted some apps on accident. I went to my recycling bin and saw them in there. I tried to restore them thinking that they would just reappear on itunes, but they didn't. Is there a way i can get them back or did i completely lose them?

    Which idiot at apple decided this was intuitive?
    I too have lost months of work, because when Notes started to mysteriously appear in Mail, I deleted them (That makes sense doesn't it? - Its not MAIL) Why would any one then setup the best OS in the world to delete the actual notes (from within Mail) in the application you created them in???? with no warning and no backup. Months of work, instantly destroyed. This is why i pay the Apple prices!!
    If Jobs was still around, heads would roll.

  • Can no longer download itunes music. Says all content will be lost. No longer on original computer. Is there any way I can download from itunes without losing content.

    You can transfer you iTunes purchases to your new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. You can manage music amond different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you wnat to make the new computer your syncing computer you must restore the iPod. 
    - See if you can make a backup of the iPod on the new computer by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup.  If successsful, restore the iPod from that backup after tansfering your iTunes purchases to the new computer.
    - If you can't make a backup copy/move the backup file from the old computer, That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You may have to turn off hide hidden files.
    If you do not have the backup file you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync your stuff to the iPod.  You will loss all your app data.

  • Deleting music downloaded from iTunes Match

    I have a first-gen iPad and its synced with my Windows 7 computer. I use iTunes Match on the desktop, a  Win7 laptop, and the iPad. I downloaded some music onto the iPad, and now its taking up about 2.5 Gb of space that I could use for other things.
    I found a link to a walkthru here, but its for an older version of iTunes. I tried doing it anyway, but as the instructions said, connect the iPad, open iTunes, and click on the iPad icon, then on the Summary and check "Manually Manage music and videos." Well that's not an option, all it says is Manually manage Videos. No mention of songs anywhere, not even in the other tabs as far as I can tell.

    I've had a case opened up for at least a month, now.   
    I re-tried my Jay-Z album and it's still borked.

  • How do I find songs that were downloaded from iTunes Match to my iPad for those times that I do not have an Internet connection.

    I want to be able to have a smart playlist that contains all of my devices downloaded to my iOS device.

    Uhhh, not sure I understand the question but you can shoe only the music that is in your iDevice by going to settings > music and setting "show all music" to OFF.

  • Can't download certain songs from iTunes match

    Last night I extacted a full album from a CD to my PC laptop via iTunes.
    All track names were detected by gracenote and all 12 songs were exacted and showing up in iTunes except the artwork was missing for some reason?
    I upload all 12 songs to iTunes match.
    Today, on my desktop, I turned on iTunes match and I can see the album and all 12 songs.
    There is a download button next to each track and I attempted to download all 12 songs.  Most of them downloaded except 4 songs for some reason?
    The download button is NOT greyed out, it's black, but when I click on it iTunes does nothing.  The songs were not downloaded from iTunes match and I have no idea why?  No error message....it just doesnt want to download those 4 songs.
    Troubleshooting: 
    -Turned off itunes match.  Restarted iTunes and turned iTunes Match back on.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    -Signed out of my Apple account and singed back on.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    -Deauthorized computer, re-authorized computer, updated iTunes match.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    I don't get it?  Why would some of the tracks download but not all of them when the entire track list is present.  12/12 songs are showing up but iTunes Match would only let me download 8/12 songs. 

    Also, I am running iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Pro x64 for both my laptop and desktop.

    I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).

  • Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

    Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

    Try this Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Test the sound again.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
    Good Luck!
