A good portion of my local explicit music became censored once I enabled iTunes Match. It's not all songs on every album so its hard ot determine the scope of the issue or just re-upload those particular songs
Before I buy an album from the iTunes Store, I am wondering: 1) Will it be censored? 2) Will it have DRM on it?
Less importantly: 3) Is it true that the files will be 256 kbit/s AAC-encoded, with the filename suffix .m4a? 4) Can I move the location of the files on my hard disc after downloading? When I "rent" a movie from the iTunes store, I cannot move the file. 5) I hear that the iTunes Store puts a "watermark" on all downloaded files saying some of my personal information, to deter piracy. Can I read this "watermark" using a text editor like BBEdit, or is it encrypted?
I had a fairly extensive music collection and recently i had to get a new hard drive. I didn't think it would be a big deal because i had always updated itunes Match. But iTunes match isn't showing me my library to download my music again.Â
Did i completely misunderstand iTunes Match? Do i have to start over?Â
All the music properly downloads on my iphone but not my mac.
I had selected a whole bunch of music from my iTunes to sync onto my iPhone using my USB cable. Now I've signed up for iTunes Match and none of that music is on my iPhone anymore except by streaming. How do I get those tunes and podcasts back on my iPhone so I can listen to them when streaming is not available (like downstairs in my gym where there's no signal) WHILE ALSO being able to access the other non-sync'd tunes if I want whenever I've got a good signal. I spent some time choosing which tunes to keep on my iPhone and which not to sync.
I have a large music library (over 500GB) and from what I've read it is not clear whether there is any way to use the iCloud match service for music libraries that large. The limit seems to be 50GB. Is there a way to use iCloud Match for really large libraries?
I some local internet streams which I listen to, when I added them a long time ago I couldn't add them to the itunes radio tab :-( but created a playlist.I would like to have those streams available on my laptop but since there is no "music" it does not sync. Is there a way to do this? It would be nice to have them on the idevices as well but there i just use a radio app.Â
Everywhere I look I find comples answers about the best way to use the Match service, etc.I am starting simple.if possible I do NOT want to get ICloud. I just want my music world to work about as well as it has until now:
1) I have my CDs on my IMac.
2) I sync what I need to my IPad using a cable. (I hear you an do it wirelessly, but I have not seen how to do that.)
We are told we have to hurry as MM will end and then we will not be able to carry over stuff to the Cloud.
1) Will Itunes sync still work as it does if I do not choose to go over to the cloud?
2) Will I still be able to move some or all pictures over to the IPad the same way I do now?
If so, then I don't think I need the Cloud or Match (I am in Japan and not sure we even have the Match program).I do not need my mobile me address.I do not need to have documents duplicated across devices. I just want to go on as I have.I understand you can have stuff in the cloud so you can have access to it all the time. But I don't travel. I just want my muisc selection in the living room and upstairs in my room.Plus I have many GB of musc, so I think I would go righth over the 5GB limit right away.

I have altered the metadata in most of my songs by either changing the genre or album art. Will itunes change this data back to the original if I sign up for the Match service?
If I needed/wanted to start a brand new iTunes Match file and completely wipe out the old one how would I go about that?Also when I go to do an update the order is such that a download starts of the current [incorrect] Match file and then the update/upload follows-why is that? (It seems to me that they should be individual commands.)
I have recently re-located the the US from Canada and have been trying to change my ITunes account acordingly. When I try and change my Country/Region I get the following message: You have an active iTunes Match Subscription; you must cancel it before you can change stores.Is there any way to cancel the subscription short of calling apple Tech support? There must be some way to cancel the service on iTunes.
I added two CDs to my iTunes library and they are not updating into iCloud (they don't show on my iPhone 4S). I checked the iTunes store and they do have the two CDs available to purchase so it's not that they can't match them.
I've tried deleting them and then re-importing them into iTunes and still nothing. They work fine on my computer but are not available to my iPhone 4S which is the whole point of iTunes Match for me.The only information I was able to find online is to go in iTunes under Store and select "update iTunes Match" which doesn't exist in my latest version of iTunes 10.6.1 (7).

I setup iTunes Match a couple of weeks ago (love it, btw), but for some reason since I set it up I can no longer import .m4v files into the Movies library. There is no error, they just never copy over.

is this "iTunes Match" like a thing where i can play them without downloading them or something? I don't understand I can already download songs from iCloud that are not on the device I bought it on eg if I bought the song on my Mac there will be an icon with a cloud letting me download the song for free on my iPad, iPod etc and I am not even subscribed to iTunes Match
Over the past fortnight, iTunes Match has gone from working seamlessly, to hanging at the first step - Gathering Information about your iTunes Library. I am-running the laters version of iTunes - Ver. 10.6.1.Â
I have had a number issues with my iTunes setup on my new Mac Mini so thought I would start again. I deleted my iTunes folders and then intended to set up again, downloading the 10,000 tracks that were previously on Match. When I log in to my account and update Match, there isn't any content. how I can retrieve it, or has deleting the folders on my local drive somehow wiped my Match account?
...now I don't have the same functionality with iTunes. Basically, I can't use iTunes at all anymore as the interface for my music and videos. Once the external drive is mounted, I can navigate through it and play individual songs, but I can't use iTunes to do that. All my previous Playlists show up down the left side of iTunes, but there isn't any music in them.
I downloaded 2 songs yesterday, made a Playlist out of them, and because the path in the Advanced tab of the iTunes Preferences is correct, it automatically added the songs to the external hard drive. I synced my iPod and it was completely erased except for the 2 new songs. Is there a way to use iTunes to navigate my music like I used to when I stored the information on the internal hard drive but keep the information on the external drive? I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes.
I wanted to listen to my music (iTunes match) it asked me to verify my password, it then asked me to reset my password. Then when accessed only shows my purchased music.
Recently purchased iTunes Match for MacBook Pro When I try to format on iPhone 4s and iPad2, receive a message asserting not subscribed & requesting me to "use iTunes on your computer to subscribe"
At the moment most of my music is either stored on my Macbook or on an external hard drive. Is it possible to transfer all my music and videos to an external hard drive and then sync it with Itune so that every time I plug it in I can access them?
I have transferred my itunes music on to my external HD. The music is there and that is fine. I then deleted the old itunes folder from my actual HD. I have now wanted to access the music on the external HD, and have attempted to select the new music file location on the external HD via the itunes/preferences/advanced window,selected the new file path and it will just not show in itunes!
