Since adding a couple of new albums to my library, iTunes Match has been stuck on step 2 for more than 24 hours, having successfully checked everything except for these 25 new tracks. I've stopped and restarted the process several times. Any ideas?
iTunes Match-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
There are currently problems for some users with Apples servers, which is causing Matching to stall. My advice would be to stop the process and try again later.
It is possible that you just have some problematic tracks, but I'd say it's quite unlikely. Some people have given advice about how to deal with this, if you want to have a read, but what you report is consistent with the general experience and I'd save yourself the bother if I were you.
I would report it to Apple though. The more reports that they get the better.
Thanks Brad! From the looks of it, I just saved a lot of headaches.

Thanks Brad! This soulution worked for me. I had to run match a few more times for it to sucessfully finshed but it did and fairly quickly.
I suggest everyone having this issue to try Brads simple soulution of before you try anything else.
1. Turning off iTunes Match
2. Updating Genius
3. Turning iTunes match back on
4. Repeat until Match is finished
Thanks again Brad!

I'm having the same issue right now. The seven songs I have won't go up to iCloud and it's really frustrating. I've tried the option key method but it didn't work. Can anyone help me? 😟
Subscribe to Spotify Premium. It worked for me :)
This has been happening to me for months now, it's getting ridiculous. Apple is falling apart.
Thanks, Brad. That worked for me.

My iTunes Match freezes on stage 2 and I cannot access the View Options to see what songs are stopping it. It is just greyed out. Any suggestions?
