Q: iTunes Match Sync keeps restarting before songs are uploaded to cloud.

I've been trying for a few days to complete the iTunes Match process but every time I get to "Step 3" and my songs that are not available in iTunes start to get uploaded into the cloud, the process starts over again.  Any advice?

    For me, Apple's Network Link Conditioner didn't work, but Entonnoir did — although, like Brando, I needed to throttle all ports, not just 5223:

     

    TCP 5223

    TCP 80

    TCP 443

    TCP 3689

    TCP 8000-8999

    TCP 42000-42999

     

    In my case, (a Suddenlink cable subscription with about 20Mbit down and 1Mbit up), 200kBytes/sec seems to be the maximum speed I can get before step 3 fails.

     

    The upload is pretty slow, so I tethered via my iPhone's 4G connection for the bulk of the upload, and now iTunes Match only needs to upoad new CDs I rip and similar updates. 200kBps isn't bad for 10 songs at a time.

    There are so many threads on this topic that typically mean messing around the DNS setting anf the like.

     

    I couldn't get Entonnior working but did get Apple's Network Link Conditioner working.

     

    Was able to get Genius turned on pretty quickly.  itunes Match was stalling at 'Sending your results to Apple'.  Stopped the process > drop down menu 'Store' > 'Update Itunes Match' got the whole thing working again.

     

    Now I'm going to catch up on some sleep.

    Why did 27,000+ people look at your post in just 3 hours???  Wow, were that many people experiencing the same problem? Thanks! Keith

    It seems two years later this problem still exists... Recently signed up to Match and the same problem is driving me insane... So far no help from Apple.
