iTunes Match - Step 2 Freeze - Solved
Just resolved the apparent Step 2 freeze! Steps taken were as follows:
1. Stop iTunes Match in iTunes client;
2. Close iTunes client;
3. Restart computer from cold;
4. Start iTunes client;
5. Watch iTunes Match proceed through Step 1 to stall in Step 2;
6. List Music library on iCloud status - noted Songs marked 'waiting' and Songs marked 'duplicate in iCloud';
6a. Took backup of all Music files concerned;
6b. Using iTunes client deleted Songs with status shown in (6);
7. Repeated steps 1-4;
8. iTunes continued successfully through Steps 1, 2 and 3;
9. iTunes Match now reporting all Songs available in iCloud!
Please do try and report the results in this thread so we can see if this proves to be a general fix.
Note: Prior to this iTunes client had been left for 20+ hours with no change, apparently hung at iTunes Match step 2.
