OK - I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but I seem to have made headway …


I rang Apple again today and spoke to two guys who seem to have unlocked the problem I’ve been having. Caveat: I upgraded to Windows 10 for free - plus I have the latest iTunes installed.


The Apple tech guy advised me to go to Edit then Preferences. A box popped up which showed that syncing with the cloud wasn’t ticked. This certainly wasn’t something I’d done - I can only assume that it somehow happened automatically. I ticked it again and suddenly my iCloud returned.


This seems to have fixed the issue I was having BUT [1] iTunes on my PC spent ages syncing with iCloud and in doing so randomly generated loads of duplicate tracks; [2] these then filled up my phone - it somehow changed the automatic downloads switch, which I know I set to ‘off’ … so I’m having to weed through the music on my phone, removing the downloaded tracks which should never have gone on there.


BUT (again!) I appear to be free of the problem … fingers crossed?!?!?

I have had this exact problem for the last year and have come to the conclusion that the old PC I have been using to ad CD’s to iTunes Match is now just too old to work.


I have bought an Apple USB SuperDrive and I am trying to figure out what Apple laptop I should buy buy to enable me to add CD’s again?


I could do with some advice, if I wanted to buy an old Apple laptop on eBay to use with my new Apple USB SuperDrive, just to add CD’s to iTunes Match, which model laptop would make the most sense both economically and in terms of functionality?


I’d like for this system to be relatively future proofed but can’t really afford a new MacBook just to add old CD’s to iTunes Match.

It's somewhat distressing that here 8 months after what looks like the most recent post, I'm experiencing the same exact issue. I very recently subscribed to Apple Music and subsequently tried to sync my iTunes library to iCloud. It's giving the same unhelpful Genius error listed above. I have tried all the solutions given in here, and none work. I'm running the last 12.10 version of iTunes available for Windows 7 on my old desktop. It has thousands of songs ripped from years of buying CDs on it, and not much else. I have other iOS and MacOS devices but nothing suitable to hold 40 GB of music just for iCloud.
