Will iTunes Match sync up different libraries and playlists I have on multiple pc's?

As I've bought different laptops over the years I've got iCloud synching all my iTunes purchases. However the music libraries and playlists are completely different ref. the CD's that I've loaded in. Thinking of signing up to iTunes Match and wondered if this would at least give me 1 synchronysed version of each libraries music and playlists?

An addition to #3 above. He currently backs up his iPhone to the desktop in the basement. I will enable him to back up to the cloud, however if I have to do a local back-up, what computer should I use? He also has music stored locally on his phone and I am unsure if I am going to enable match on his phone, if not, how will he get music on his phone? I don't want his laptop to access the NAS with music on it so what should I do? Maybe I will need to allow him access to the cloud?

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.

Itunes match with two different libraries on two different computers with the same apple ID? How?

I have a work PC that I synch with my itunes library and it works totally fine. I also have a macbook at home with a different library on it. Both compuers share the same apple id. will itunes match synch all the devices with the same library? If so do I only need one itunes match purchase or do I need one for each computer? The apple help desk (phone support) and apple store I recently visited were unable to provide me with answers to my questions.

Just create a new account. On one iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sing out and sign in with other account. Same for Settings>iCloud and Settings Messages. Also go to Settings>Face time and add the new iD email addrss as the Caling email address and delete the other one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Will iTunes Match distinguish between purchased content and content added by CD?

Once iTunes Match is up and running I want to put the content on my iPod Classic into the cloud. I understand there will be a fee for doing this; but, on the iPod there are some items that have been purchased through iTunes, as well as CD content that I own. Will iTunes Match be able to distinguish the difference?

Beyond that, we'll have to wait for additional details from Apple.

HT4914 Will iTunes Match sync my ringtones from my iPhone to my iPad Mini?

I just got an iPad Mini. How do I transfer the apps and ringtones from my iPhone?

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.

HT5085 When will iTunes Match be available in Japan and/or Sweden?

Why is it taking so long for these countries? So many 3rd world countries already have it, so why not Japan and Sweden? Any sort of rough timeline estimate would be much appreciated. Thanks?

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

My husband and I share a new PC. We have different music tastes and each have an iphone. How can we both use our one computer and one itunes program with separate music libraries and separate iphones?

Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone.

Hey there Chriskir,
It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:

HT204074 I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone. Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone? Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone? Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.
Regards.

HT4914 My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
Quitting iTunes.
Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

After installing iOS6 on the iPad 2, iTunes will not match/Sync.

After installing iOS6 on the iPad 2, iTunes is wiped out and will not match/Sync. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. Ended up plugging my ipad into my computer and doing a complete restore. Once the resore was complete, i signed out and back in to the itunes store. turned off the itunes match setting and turned it back on. works fine now.

Got iTunes match, synced up music from laptop to phone, headed out listening to playlist, all of a sudden, mid-song, music stopped and all music was gone and needed to be re-downloaded

Ok, so I initially bought the cloud mainly in the hopes that I could store all of my music on it and have access to it on my phone, which ended up not being the case. Fine. So I man up and get iTunes match, sync everything up between my laptop and my phone, make a playlist and head out listening to it. All of a sudden while I'm out, mid-song, the music stops. I go to see what's going on and everything is gone and has the icon to download next to it, and now I'm away from my wifi to boot, so charges apply. I don't understand. Now I have iCloud on my phone with 25 GB Total Storage and 25 GB Available because I don't understand what I should be using it for and iTunes match which, what, only works when I'm within spitting distance of my laptop? I've tried to get everything sorted out, paying a fee each time, and hitting roadblocks every step of the way; and on top of it, my phone is constantly telling me it can't do this or that because I don't have enough storage?? I realize I'm a bit of a noob, but c'mon, it shouldn't be this complicated or difficult, should it?

If you have no network access (3G, Wi Fi) you cannot stream music from the cloud. Period.The way you stop the behavior is to enable 3G, or pre-download the tracks you think you will want to listen to.

HT4915 iTunes Match sync and deleted itunes files

Will iTunes match remove songs deleted from iTunes when it syncs?
I cleared all iTunes music on my computer to start over clean but didn't remove them from the cloud.

iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.
