iTunes match NOW AVAILABLE in Australia!

Hi.

Nothing at all about iTunes Match in my iTunes 10.5.1.42.

Bondi Beach, Sydney

20-Nov-2011

Same - Alice Springs

Perth Metro, Western Australia

No, I didn't have any iTunes Match on my iTunes account.

You could have downloaded iTunes from overseas, and when you came to Australia, you logged in with your Aussie account.

Sydney CBD, NSW

I didn't have iTunes Match, so I switched to a US store account, which wouldn't let me make the purchase as I didn't have a US funding source.

I then quit and when I re-opened iTunes this morning, I wasn't logged in at all, and iTunes Match was visible.

It has remained visible, even after logging into my Australian iTunes account, though I can't subscribe 😟

iTunes match is not available in Australia yet. At the moment, it only available in US, for US customers only.

Who's know when it release in AUS, just like iTunes music store launched 2 years in AUS after US.

Apple main priority market is US. Too bad for AUS, until they sort out music licensees agreement and regulation, we just have to wait.

I wouldn't get too excited ... read through all of the posts ... iTunes Match is creating quite a headache for most ... it is not ready for prime time ... well below Apple's standards ...

There is only one version of iTunes.

US is the same version as Australia is the same version as China.
Apple can enable/disable feature for specific iTunes stores in each country.

I switched the store to USA and the iTunes Match menu item appeared. I then switched back to Aus and it did not disappaer. Now when I click on it and select "Subscribe to itunes match" it simply gives me an error message saying "the itunes store is temporarily unnavailable. please try again later. I seem to be able to access the store and other features with no problems.

iTunes Match subscriptions are available through the iTunes Store / Account Settings...

They took my money, but so far I'm not seeing the service working. The menu item appears on the left but ultimately it errors and asks you to sign out and back in again. Doing so does nothing.

Defaults to the Genius page "Genius has been successfully turned on" and not Match.

They are taking money though. If it's not on within the next 48 hours, I'll be asking for a refund.

Same here. Got Match through iTunes then it gave me constant errors and all of my songs are in the "Waiting" state. Got a receipt, card has been charged. Not acceptable, Apple.

Store @ U.S is now available now ，but there is no news bout‘ iTunes Match is now available @Australia Stroe

Are you sure？

I'm sure the subscription option is available in Australia, because I (maybe stupidly) paid up!! All my songs have the cloud icon on them and they're all 'waiting'. .... we'll see.

Uninstall iTunes and download the newest iTunes and try it again ，i hope it helpful 4 u

Remember, you gave them your money first.

If you sign out of your itunes account (Store->Sign out) then sign back in again, you'll see it work like it should.

Mine is gathering data about my library now.

All is now slightly better with the world.

Mine now appears to be working. Just logged back in to the store via iTunes, and the match icon appeared in the left hand menu and it's now whirring away gathering data from my library.... 🙂
