In iTunes your songs won't have a cloud icon next to them since they are all still on the internal HDD. iTunes Match does not change the default location of your iTunes library from the internal HDD to the cloud.


To see the music available in the cloud on an iOS device go to Settings > Music and set to the option for iTunes Match to ON. You must be signed into the mobile iTunes store with the same iTunes store account ID you used to purchase the service in iTunes on your computer.

If you are looking at the songs in iTunes then the songs won't have the cloud icon next to them unless you have deleted them from the computer. The icon is basically a download button and only appears if the song isn't in the local iTunes library.


As for not being available on your phone, you will need to give some more details. Have you turned match on on your phone? Are you seeing anything in the music App? Is iyt appearing empty or are songs listed, but not playing?

This is an absolute joke it really is! Each one of us is paying £21.99 for this service as a customer and a consumer and it is not working! It's not efficient or effective, it has no artwork displayed, people can't just do it and it's simple down the line stuff. Why was this not fully tested prior to distribution? It seems that Apple aren't even bothered to solve it after releasing an iTunes update recently 10.6.3 and didn't even bother about itunes match... if i paid for something such as £21.99 in a shop and it didn't work i'd want my bloody money back!
