    Hi jesung,

    I understand you just signed up for iTunes Match on your iMac, but you are not seeing any progress, you are only seeing the "Add This Computer."

    It sounds like you may need to restart your computer and follow the steps outlined in the resource below.  I've highlighted some key information here.  Click on the link for complete details.

    Use iTunes Match on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    On a Mac or PC

    If you're using iTunes 12.3 or later, iTunes Match turns on automatically the first time you sign into iTunes on a new computer with the Apple ID that you use for iTunes Match.

    If you need to turn on iTunes Match manually, change your iCloud Music Library settings using these steps:

    1. Open iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version
    2. Sign in to iTunes with the Apple ID and password that you use for iTunes Match.
    3. Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences.
       
    4. Click the General tab, then select iCloud Music Library.

    After you sign in with the Apple ID and password that you use with iTunes Match and turn on iCloud Music Library, iTunes matches and uploads your library. You can watch the progress of the matching and uploading in the upper-right corner of iTunes, and you can pause and resume this process at any time.

    When iTunes is done, your matched and uploaded music appears in iTunes in the My Music tab. A download icon   appears next to any content that's in your iCloud Music Library and not on your computer.

     

    Take care.
