ITunes Match Cloud Symbols

Here:iCloud Symbols

Happy to help 🙂

The cloud with the dotted line means these are waiting to be uploaded. The cloud with the slash through it means the song is ineligible. the cloud with the x in the middle means that the song had an error.(right click and readd to icloud.) the ineligible songs cannot have a bitrate lower than 96 or be purchased by another person that is not authorized on your computer.

Here are a list from apple

	Ineligible	This icon is displayed next to items that are not eligible to be uploaded to iCloud via iTunes Match. Some examples are songs that are larger than 200MB or songs encoded at 96 Kbps or less.
	Removed	This icon is displayed when a song has been removed from iCloud (from a different computer). Songs deleted from iCloud are immediately deleted from associated iOS devices, but will remain on other associated computers until they are manually deleted.
	Error	This icon may be displayed if the song file is corrupt or if there was an error uploading the song. Try updating iTunes Match (Store > Update iTunes Match) to resolve this. If updating does not resolve the issue, try importing a new copy of the song into your iTunes library.
	Duplicate	This icon is displayed when a duplicate version of this song exists in your iTunes library on your computer. This icon will be displayed next to duplicates that were not uploaded to iCloud.
	Waiting	This icon is displayed when a song is in the process of being matched, but has not yet been processed.

So what does this icon mean. In iTunes the Music cloud icon on the left sidebar has been animated lines like it's working. I can't listen to any music today. It's worked since it came out.

I checked and Match servers are green and clearly I have an internet connection as I am writing this. Thanks for any help.

I see that symbol for a few seconds when i open iTunes, i think that is shown when iTunes match process is running.

+1 on the same situation. and it's been for hours now and nothing has changed yet.

Mine went all day yesterday. Never worked. I can't think or find any ideas to solve it.

Denny

I have the same problem. How did you resolve it?

Oddly, I didn't think to restart the iMac and it solved everything. I rarely restart or shut down. Hope that helps.

and what does this symbol mean?

thx for you reply

That means that your having problems connecting to the cloud

I still have this problem, but if I quit iTunes and reopen, all is well. Don't know what it is, but that's the fix that's worked for me.

Hi Apple - It would be great to have a simple MouseOver popup to tell you what things mean. Perhaps a 'right click' even, to 'Reconnect', as in hollowbeam's example. 😎

I periodically get stuck on the icon Denny provided a screen shot of. I left it running over the weekend and it was still going when I came back.

It's possible simply turning iTunes Match off and on again in the "Store" menu will fix it, but both times it's happened to me I've done the following steps:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. In Finder, go to: ~/Library/Preferences
3. Throw away: com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunes.plist.lockfile
4. Open iTunes again and choose "Sign In" from the "Store" menu.
5. Once signed in, choose "Turn On iTunes Match" from the same menu.

Good luck!
