Will iTunes Match change all of the tags on my songs?
I have changed many of the song titles, and albums etc. When I use iTunes Match will it change them all to what they are on iTunes?
Hi,
No. Match only works with music in your computers iTunes library.
You will need to copy your music from the ipad to your computer. If you search the web, you will find apps that will allow you to do this.

Will iTunes Match download ALL of my songs onto a new Mac once I sign in with my Apple ID?
Hi. Just wondering if iTunes Match is a viable back-up if my Mac is somehow destroyed or stolen. Thanks for you time if anyone has an answer. I live in Canada - not sure if the laws are differrent here. Cheers.
Actually, that statement is only true of iPhones, iPods and iPads. On Apple TV's it only streams (although the songs are probably held memory until the space is required, and on a computer via iTunes streaming is the default if you play a song. You have to specifically ask it to download to a computer.
To answer the original poster, yes you could feasibly use the cloud for a backup, but I would add a couple of factors to consider:
It could take some time to redownload, depending on your connection speed, if you lose your entire library.
Some of your library may not be eligible for some reason, so that wouldn't be backed up.
Match is not 100% accurate, so there is the risk of finding that there is the wrong version of some songs on your matched library. That may or may not be an issue for you.
As match is a service that tries to keep your library in sync, there is always the possibility that a problem could effect both your local library and match. Say for example, you deleted an album by accident and the "also delete from the cloud" box was ticked, then you may struggle to recover the tracks.
Personally, I wouldn't consider not having a local backup of my library, but at least iMatch would be a backup of sorts. -
Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6? Sorry about copying twice, new to this.
Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

I dumped all of my old cds onto itunes will itunes match push the old music to all my devices
i dumped all of my old cds onto i tunes will itunes match push them to all my devices
Hi,
iTunes match will scan your iTunes library on your computer to determine what tracks can be matched and what needs to be uploaded. Once the process has completed, you will be able to turn on match on your other devices and be able to stream or download your music.

Will iTunes Match sync ID3 tags?
I tag all my music properly utilising BPM, Comments, Grouping and Record Label. Will iTunes Match sync these over to other devices?
You should check with the head unit manufacturer; they can most likely answer your question.

HT4914 will itunes match save my tagging?
I have changes album names, artist names, genres, album art, etc. Will itunes match wipe them out for the default original tags or settings?
Thanks.iTunes Match is currently for music only. You should be able to re-download apps on your Mini via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it.
Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you will need to copy them from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (they will copy over to the Tones section of your library, and your apps other purchases will also be copied from the phone) - you can then sync them to your iPad. -
Good afternoon. I want to turn off itunes match subscription and cancel the remaining balance on my account to change the country store as I do this?
You will need to contact Apple by call to gain the appropriate support directly. There can be significant issues in changing country.
First step is always to ensure that you have a secure backup of all of your Songs. -
Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(
i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it. I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
Thank you -
I have a large music library on my iPad, that is not currently on iCloud or on my main PC. If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will the music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud? Or will I loose all that music?

Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia. Can I start using itunes music match while I am travelling without the actual music files attached to my itunes?
In your situation I strongly recommend you read over that KB article. The international iTunes Stores are not cross-compatible.
My understanding of how it would work is that when activating iTunes Match on your US Store account, any songs you have in your iTunes Library that were purchased from the AUS Store account will NOT be matched. As I understand it, those files will be uploaded (which means you need the files on a local HDD). I also do not think it is possible to have iTunes Match active on more than one store ID on the same computer. But since iTunes Match is not available internationally yet, that point is moot for the moment.
To be honest you might want to wait until the service is available internationally so you can guage how will it will serve you. -
I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please
You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

My Mac hardrive Crashed and had to get a new one, sadly my iTunes wasn't on my external hardrive. I have all my songs on my iPhone, will iTunes Match work with my songs on my iPhone then, i download them on to My Mac. Will This work? Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer. -
Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?
Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

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.

I had all of my music on an external hard drive that crashed. I have iTunes Match so all of my music was synced in the cloud. How do I now re-load my music back down onto a new external hard drive?
Hey Rbe58!
I believe this question can be answered by the information in the following article:

Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
